The colors from that era are always so much fun and have so much interest. Great job on a classic!

Very nice! I’ve always like those pre-war biplanes.

That turned out nice Peter! :shoutout: The SBC-3 has a very strong look for a biplane.

Well done, Peter. I was able to find one of these kits the other day, it's nice to see your build of it.
