Fgmm lockheed sirius improved stock

[bob martin]

LOCKHEED SIRIUS, Improved Stock, Wooden wheels, clear windows, detailed engine. Basically stock with the above exceptions.

The first and best known Sirius was bought by Lindbergh, and in 1931 was retrofitted to be a sea plane. He and his wife, Anne, would fly it to the Far East.

After looking at your photos I thought to myself....'ya just gotta love all the fun little facts that come with every FG model...That, along with Chip's unique art style is what makes them so darn appealing.

Seeing we're not snowed in anymore, been really busy with other things lately. However, I did finally finish the plane. Now getting ready to do the floats.

Very nice build Bob and fast!!!

The plane looks a bit unbalanced on floats if I going to build one maybe I going to build and stand too.

[Wyvern]

Man, that was fast! And it looks GREAT!
