OT (sorta): Lockheed DL-1B Vega Restoration

Bomber_12th

SOH-CM-2025
With the recently converted Lockheed Vega for FSX by Full, I had to share this.

Look to see this one flying in the not so distant future, finished in the markings of a USAAC YIC-12 Vega. The amount of progress that has been made on this airframe, in such a short amount of time, is absolutely amazing. This is one of the few Vega variants that had an aluminum constructed and skinned fuselage, where as most of them were of wood construction, coated in fabric. The wings are of the standard wood and fabric coated construction.
