Boeing 100 Paul Mantz completed

Finally completed: 1/72 scale model of the Boeing 100 owned by Paul Mantz; made with the RarePlane’s RareBits (Gordon Stevens) vac fuselage conversion and the Monogram F4B-4 kit, both generously and kindly passed along by PugetMeister Jim Schubert.
The plane performed in many movies and events, and had a smoke-generating apparatus.
It went through a few changes during its very long life; it is portrayed here in one of its several configurations.
Thanks to Gordon and Jim, both modeling icons.
The complete step-by-step building article is in this same blog here:

    Another pretty one Gabriel. It is exciting to see the real colours of the aircraft at last, instead of the murky black and white printed reproductions.
