F8F-1B Bearcat, VNAF 1st FS 1963

L-13 Blaník /// Planet models /// 1:32

This is my last build in 2018. Mentioned as a gift for my father. The kit itself is bad as much as it gets. Cockpit is practically scratchbuild, there was almost nothing in the box (definitely nothing accurate). Wings connection to [...]
