Hello, This is my first attempt at the famous custom twin engine Electra that Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan were flying when they disappeared on their circumnavigation of the globe in 1937. This was a very beautiful and historically important aircraft that deserves a place in your Lego collection. Considering that it is at the heart of one of the greatest mysteries of the 20th century, I'm sure a reasonably priced set would appeal to a very wide audience. My model is made of less than 400 pieces (although most of those would have to be produced in metallic silver) and includes Earhart and Noonan, with place for both at their stations inside. I'm not happy with the tail section, but will update the project with improved versions if this gains significant support. Please vote, share, and leave me comments!
