My First Vacuform Kit

Boeing B-17F Memphis Belle. Revell-Monogram 1/48

What to say about this aircraft. Probably the most known B-17, so, I go to say nothing about it. This is not my proudest modelling job. A lot of mistakes building and painting it, the mould was deformed (may be the reason was the 25 years [...]
