Percival Vega Gull - Beryl Markham Atlantic crossing - Modified Dora Wings 1/72nd scale

Here is Beryl Markham’s Percival Vega Gull, which ended up in a slightly ignominious position in a bog on American soil, after a first-ever solo flight from England to America -a significant achievement at the time- on September 1936.

This is one more interesting and beautiful civil plane represented in kit form by Ukrainian manufacturer Dora Wings. You can see on this blog many models built from their kits, nice civil choices with a remarkable level of detail. But Dora Wings kits in general also need careful attention and corrections to become an accurate replica, and you have to sort out some glitches in their instructions, and this one is no exception, as you may see in the building article:

Long Live Ukraine, and screw Pooh-teen!
