Yes, it's yet another with yellow wings, this time for the U. S. Army. It's the Sierra Scale Models vacform 1/72 kit of the Curtiss Falcon.
The kit comes with cast metal struts that are far too thick and wide. I did my best to make them thinner and less wide, but they are still not quite right. In retrospect, I should have replaced them with something scratch built. A lovely cast metal engine is provided if one wants to model the OC-2 version. I needed the engine for something else, so I went for the inline version.

Another little gem from pieces of moulded plastic card. Lovely colour scheme too.

Brilliant, as usual. Do these vac-forms come with decals or do you have to source them elsewhere?
