Yes Erik this is the “Byrd Bird”. I had completed burnishing , cutting out of parts and started assembly before noticing the error. BTW, the wing markings are OK on the Eastern Airlines. It was important to complete the FG Tri-Motor for display this month at the IPMS Orange County chapter meeting. Their contest theme: Any Subject That Through Intentional Design Possesses Three power Plants.
Rather than wait for Fiddlers Green to correct, I placed the inaccurate wing on the bottom. I usually plow ahead assembling that which has been downloaded not waiting for corrections.
An example would be my Beta build of the Fiddlers Green B-10 now on display at the March AFB Air Museum. I wonder if visitors notice the vertical tail number 146 differs from 145 on the nose.
