| Larkin M. Buechmann Spring, TX | I am building a 1/3 scale radio control model of the Fairchild GK-1. I have a photo pack of the one in your museum, but the photos do not show any lettering, graphics, registration number, etc. Can anyone help me find this information? I plan to enter the model in scale competition and need all the scale documentation I can find. I have found the Navy version of this plane to be a very rare subject. Any and all help will be appreciated. Thank you. 11/24/2004 @ 08:53 [ref: 8700] |
