Well, the refurb is done and she is back in the fleet. I finished her off by reinstalling the ball turret and adding all the clear parts and sub assemblies. I also added the antenna wire which was fashioned from Coats and Clark Polyester micro-thin thread. The plane depicted is a General Motors TBM-1C from VC-76 stationed aboard the escort carrier USS Petrof Bay. More photos in the gallery.
