I do so love the old school box art and would pay handsomely for the original painting
Having painted the Indian elephants and a bunch of odds and ends that had attempted to go AWOL from their packages I again dug around in The Vault seeking the remaining elephants that I just KNOW are hiding somewhere. After a half-hour of searching I was left unrewarded and vexed. I decided to let the matter go for the time being and seek solace in some styrene. The first kit that came to hand was a garage-sale find that had set me back the princely sum of fifty cents; an ancient Lindberg Arado AR-234 that had been manufactured in the late sixties/early seventies and had been started by it's previous owner.
the previous owner's heavy coating of paint didn't help assembly
and an unusually poor fit made this a unsatisfying build
the amount of putty needed to close the gaps gave me a reason the sand away the huge rivets
