The model was a fifty cent yard sale find. Two pairs of Champion Spark Plug decals were found in a 1955 Revell 1/48 White/Fruehauf gas tanker kit. As soon as I saw them, the "Whiffer" light came on in the brain's Design Department.
The model is mostly OOB. I de-militarized and de-navalized it and added a few fiddly bits.
The paint is brush-painted Humbrol #69 Gloss Yellow and Floquil Reefer White for the landing gear and wheel-wells.
The race numbers and registration numbers came from an old Testors Gee Bee decal sheet. I found the crossed Stars & Stripes and Union Jack on the cowl as a fragment in the bottom of the scrap-box. It symbolizes the British airplane and its American owner.
To use a Britishism, I am well and truly chuffed with my results.
Adios, Larry.
