I'm back again
with a second old kit turned into an airliner, or is that spaceliner? This
time it's the Glencoe re-release of the old Strombecker kit. Not being excited
by the Glencoe suppled markings and totally repulsed by the original Disney
style paint, I took the liberty of doing it up in vintage American Airlines
markings. Actually most of scheme came from the Minicraft AA retro 757 kit.
Now my Pan Am Orion III model has a display partner.
FYI This kit took all of seven days to build, which goes to explain a few
rough spots.
