LOCKHEED 10 ELECTRA (Williams Bros)

This is the truly awful kit of the Lockheed 10 Electra by Williams Bros in 1:53 scale (53198). Everything is far too thick or heavy or disproportionate. Rivets are the size of a fist. Fitting of parts is poor. Stay away from this kit.

I built it for a friend who wanted a table-top gaming piece in the colours and markings of the Air France aircraft at the end of the famous movie Casablanca. The registration markings as seen in the film are printed just for this build.

Paint is Alclad white aluminium.
