Nicely done Baz, judging from the paint chipping I gather this is the rare all-metal Vega.
One thing though, the AMT kit dates from the 70s and is not the same as the old 50s vintage Lindbergh kit.
As Brian sez, the figure is indeed supposed to be Post, as the kit was originally released as the Winnie Mae.
I built one when it was first released.
Here's a Vega that never was:
According to Richard Sanders Allan in
Revolution In The Sky: The Lockheeds of Aviations Golden Age,
Northrop had intended for the outrigger floats to be retractable.
BTW all of the Lockheed Stars (Vega, Sirius, Altair and Orion) and the Air Express had the same
basic fuselage and wing, whether wood or metal, high-winged or low, so that basic Vega kit can be the
starting point for all sorts of fun. The aircraft Post and Will Rogers died in was a hybrid of an Orion
fuselage and the longer span wing of an Explorer.
