1929 Lockheed Air Express | Wings of Texaco | Scale Model Airplane
Got this one a few weeks ago, but didn’t take the opportunity to make a photo of it. This is a metal model, with the windscreen, wheels, prop and cowl the only plastic parts. Like many of these Texaco planes, it’s a bank. Rotating the cowl reveals the coin slot. Interestingly, all of the Texaco planes were actually modeled off of real aircraft that flew for the company.
This was a tricky photo as there were a few different light sources. I used Snapseed’s Brush Tool to desaturate the wall and then went back and forth on the plane to try and get the colors right. I gave myself a grade of B- for all of this effort. Sheesh!
