This is the completed model post, for the step-by-step
building article please go here in this same blog:
The Flivver is reproduced here as it appears in photos in
what seems early test flights. No markings and a different fuselage top and
nose than in later modifications. Photos show a spoke wheel -this model- and
covered wheels -my other 1/100 model-.
The finding of the photos with the absence of markings was a
blessing for me, since I did not want to publicize a brand associated with the
historically glossed-over figure of Henry, whose discriminatory ideology was extremely
questionable in many regards, as articles in his newspaper of the time prove.
But since the plane was the product of other minds and
hands, and it is a really a cute little thing, I thought it deserved the effort
of a scratchbuild, twice! since I made the 1/100 (by mistake) and 1/72 versions.
Please don't sneeze.
