This kit is definitely from the 50s or early 60s. There is no interior detail at all.The engines are basic,and the landing gear is not very detailed. It does however have nice surface detail. I starts wit the interior, and using photos of the interior of a Navy Goose, I scratch built a cabin interior using plastic card stock for the bulkheads. Seats were scrounged from the scrap box and reworked to resemable the cabin seats. These were covered with tissue paper soaked in white glue and shaped to resembale leather seats, and were painted with Testor's leather paint. Next the flight deck was talckeled. I used cars tock again to build the cockpit walls and aft bulkhead. The kit provided cockpit floor and seats were used. I reworked the seats to make them a little more realistic. The overhead console was made from a spare instrument panel from the scrap box. Instruments and throttles were made using left over photo-etch parts. The landing gear was made more scale in appearance using stretched sprue and tape. The kit provided wheels were replaced with a set of TBF Avenger wheels. Details were added to the engines, with fine wire, (ignition harnesses) The aerial and mooring mast were sanded to more scale size and shape. The props are a pair of reworked T-28 propellors. This would be an easy kit for junior modelers, And more experienced modelers can do like I did and end up with a nice looking Goose. Paints were Testors MM enamels with an aftermarket decal sheet. I have another one that I plan on doing in the CUTTER'S goose scheme from the TV show. I thourghly enjoyed building this kit even though it was tedious to get a nice looking model. I would recommend this kit . It would be easy for young modelers to buil OOB and more experienced modelers can practice their scratch building skills on it.
