As it was said in the construction article, the lure of the classics is hard to resist. So, after modeling some unusual designs, what follows is this rendition of the Lockheed L-12 (and the parallel build of the Cessna T-50). The Special Hobby kit was adapted to represent the specific plane flown by Jack Fry, for which a set from Draw Decals was used. Special Hobby and others should be congratulated for releasing kits of such beautiful and relevant civil planes. It is also of note that many of these releases sell pretty well, the proof is that they become very hard to find, and if found, a pretty penny must be paid to acquire them on the second-hand market. Time to release more of them, Eastern European manufacturers?
Some modifications were practiced, opening the nose, cabin door and luggage hatch, providing a restroom and adding external details not contemplated in the kit.
