Martin Flyer 'El Sonora' --- scratch-build in 1/72

Old Man:
I am reviving this project for this group build, after letting it lapse a couple of years ago when my health got to be too much of a distraction.

Here is a link to the build thread from back then:

Here are a couple of photographs of the beast, one of those pre-war 'wings and some sticks' items so common then in the United States....






Here is how it stood when I halted work...






I expect the first thing I will be doing is is fuel tanks and plumbing. I will probably wait on seating arrangements, as photographs show these differed over the life of the machine, and I will have to decide at what point in its career I wish to depict it.

The great step is attaching the upper wing, and if I am going back to this, I will want to do that in fairly short order....

RLWP:
Good to see this one back again
