Once completed, the first Electra does not look right. A review of the drawings and comparison with other sources revealed some major flaws. I looked to see if I could correct the faults and found that impractical. Hence a new one is being fashioned from scratch.

I prioritized the Model 10 with good results. It is almost ready for the first coat of primer. More photos to follow shortly.

The Electra is assembled and sanded as well as having the initial primer coat applied.

Roll out & April 2023. Number 97 out of 100 total just 3 weeks to complete. Decals are home made and they represent an Electra during WWII.

Thank you Gordon. Using black as a base coat for silver works well.

[Gearup]

I agree with Gordon. A masterful silver model of the Electra. Very convincing presentation.

Thanks Lou!
