Hi Wal,
I plan to finish her with her "VH" rego.
I am actually using your model as the reference for mine, so I am most happy with the red, (besides...it just looks so dam cool in the White/Red scheme :D )
Thanks Wal, appreciate your time and effort in helping me out with this refurb.

Quick update on the Lockheed Vega.
The scratch-built interior cabin now painted and installed with fuselage halves ready for closure.

Just a little progress between gruelling work shifts.

Fuselage together with vertical stab re-attached.
Lots more work to do however with filling and sanding of the fuselage the next job.

After a bitch of a time with alignment with fuselage and canopy, (as all these components are integrated), the wings are finally re-attached, (happy now Paul!!).

The original builder really did some damage to the wing area, so this has proven to be a bit of a challenge with the re-build.
Still.....all part of the fun of refurbishing old kits I guess :D
