The seams are about as “tackled” as they will be.
Mark, Thank you.

Old kits reissued will almost always have flash due to the age of the molds. You would think someone would make new and improved molds at this day and age.
There was one company that was doing just that! Oh wait.........their closing shop. It's a cool build Lyle!

Nice work on an old kit! I'm guessing there aren't many options when it comes to modeling this particular aircraft. Great work on separating the tail wheel from the rudder!

Thanks, John. Only options are decals for a few airlines.

None with the word FORD? What about airmail livery?

There are beautiful silkscreen decals available from Draw Decal, in various liveries for this aircraft. Here is one example:
Also, the “Antarctic Set” of decals (always wanted to build this with the sled dogs) is available on eBay:

I’d have to go with TWA since my dad worked for them for over 35 years.

Those are indeed nice, but...I’m not spending money on this one. Already had to buy another kit to replace a few parts.
