Below is my just finished Lindberg 1/32 scale model of Roscoe Turner's 1938-'39 Thompson Trophy winning airplane. Simple model overall. Detail and fit is fair. It has some features I question a need for. The has movable ailerons, elevators, and rudder? They work okay, but I'm not sure how to use them for display purposes? The plane itself looks bigger than 1/32 scale. The pilot, Turner, looks way too small. Too small for the plane. And maybe too small even for 1/32 scale. The decals with one exception went down pretty well. The only problem was with the registration number on the underside of the left wing. And then it was very minor. All in all the kit turned okay. I'm pleased.

That is an old Pyro kit. It was motorized 50 years ago. That accounts for some of the odd shapes and sizes. It was more toy than scale model.

Beautiful Build.
