Saw on one of the sites an interesting diorama with an airplane and really wanted to try to do something similar. I took an SU-34 airplane and started working. Eyes are afraid, but hands do. And this is what came out of it. I think for the [...]

A baby with amazing talents: Grunau Baby IIb school glider

To the original: Grunau Baby IIb Who would have thought that this small and inconspicuous glider was capable of setting world records? Especially when the type name "Baby" doesn't exactly conjure up images of great importance or [...]
