Looking to build an accurate Grumman Goose, Brad added scratchbuilt flaps to Signifier’s 1/48 scale kit and modified the nose to show its more pronounced shape. After replacing the kit parts with three-bladed props and spinners from a Testors 1/48 scale Bronco, he finished it in Alaska Airlines livery. The airline operated the flying boats from 1967 to 1972.
