Scratchbuilt 1/72nd Arup S-4 in Sears Roebuck advertisement livery

Finally the completed model with the fantastic set of decals special-ordered from Mika Jernfors at Arctic Decals.

This Arup, which has a tailwheel besides its front tricycle landing gear, is mostly seen in photos tail-sitting, thus no lead was added to the nose. The pilot's weight made it "seat right".
The Arup now will fly to the Chicago area where a new hangar is ready for it at the Smith's Airport.
