| It's interesting to build a modern model (my Brewster) at the same time as a model that is at least 40 years old (this one) as the quality is night and day (to be fair to Williams Brother's though it could have just been the era this was made and not the company itself). Just an example, here is a copy of the ENTIRE instruction sheet:  It's actually taken me about a week to get to this point with all the sanding, painting (external colors are the color of the model itself), cursing, sanding etc etc:  The main wings actually slide into the fuselage so they have a nice tight fit. Tonight, I start the primer and 2nd round of putty. Oddly this model had no guns so I've started scratch building 2 x .30 Cal (one for nose turrent and one for the rear cockpit).
