Last of the Gustavs, for awhile.

June 24, 2023 · in Aviation · · 5 · 255

The last of the Gustavs, for awhile. This, and the last 4 I've built were intended to be a display entered in the "Collections" category at the IPMS/USA National Convention in August. The base used was made by Bill Wedeward of Bases By Bill Custom Display Cases.

Improvements include: Added rivets to entire airframe. Masked and painted all markings except data stencils and unit markings . Quinta Studios #72037 interior decals. Ceramic wire antenna aerial. Anti-vibration cones molded from plasticard. MRP acrylic lacquers airbrushed through Iwata HP-C and Custom Micron-C.
