Nice little kit, with fictitious paint job, possibly of that era, that I just had to do.
This one is modeled after Kermit Week's Duck, at "Fantasy of Flight", a little south of Orlando, Florida. Oddly enough, the decals were from an old Esci sheet, including the noseart. For a bi-plane (and an Airfix), it was a [...]
