  Sweden National Day 2005 

 

The Swedish airline "AB Aerotransport" (ABA) used this plane to transport mail from Stockholm to London in 1928. This is the Revell kit in 1/72 scale with my own decals. I scratch built a new fin and a new mail interior.

I also had to build a new exhaust system for this plane. Some of it came from a truck kit.

Sponsored aircraft liveries isn't anything new. The Junkers F.13W is one of ABA's planes that had a summer tour around Sweden in the late 1920's. It was sponsored by a toothpaste company. When I saw a photo of the plane I knew that I had to build it in model.
