Mach II 1/72 Convair 440 Metropolitan – Continental Airlines Delivery scheme
Following quite a bit of interest in natural metal finishes on the other Convair (Hustler) I thought I'd give the Mach II 1/72 Convair 440 a go with a similar finish, at least on the lower half and wings. I'm still not sure what scheme it [...]

1721 Lockheed EC-130V Hercules USCG 1/72 Italeri Kit
