Hello mates,
Here is a very old kit from Lindberg (Copyright date 1952 Inside the fuselage) that I first built between 1956 and 1960.
I present you the "motorized" version that I never got when I was a teenager and that I found without instructions ans decals...
Here is the result.
Markings are probably not very accurate but could have likely existed.

With this kit, not only the plane must be built but also the electric motor :

Some pictures have been retouched to hide electric wires.
