Bud and Rick, Thank you my 2 amigos for work in posting the pics.

To all the above comments, Thank you all Lady and gentlemen.

Yes, it is pretty much all redone- sat around for years in various stages, finished it as sort of a prayer in hope that WNW would do one in 1/32 . (The latest WNW release of the ALB DVa OAW is a reminder of my how they eliminated most of my plans for some 1/28 scratch builds) There are still some rough spots on the Fe and need some touch up as the close ups show.

Ed

Would love to see WNW or even Roden do a take on this bird . Don't think we will ever see Aeroclubs 48 and 32 scale offering . It has been a few years since this was announced  :(

Hello Ed:

Outstanding work on the model.  I have attempted vac's in the past with limited results, the old J&L Stratocruiser, Viscount, and 727-200 fuselages,  your work with this is amazing and a joy to behold.
Thanks to Bud for posting.
Best
