Finally fought my way to the finish line with this bird, battling life all the way. An aerioplane from the 1930's so ugly it is almost pretty.

Also shown are a few shots from a Matchbox 1/72nd scale kit I built a few years back. The contrast sort of points up the difference in the two mediums. While the paper kits may not be as exact they do have a certain air that gives them a beauty all their own.
