Cool Fleet Model 7 repaint

Again a repainting thinking about the history of Brazilian aviation. This time the only Fleet Model 7 operated in Brazil, this plane came with a US license registry operated by Leigh Wale, a US aviator who became famous for making one of the circumnavigation flights in the World in 1924 and who was a sales agent for Consolidated (which manufactured the Fleet as PT-6A), the idea was to try to sell this plane to the Brazilian Navy or Army in 1931. After not being successful with this endeavor he donated the aircraft to Military Aviation, little is known about its destination and if in fact it gained a military registry, however it was donated by the government years later to the Aeroclube de Fortaleza (Fortaleza Airclub) for make a civilian primary trainer.
