by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on June 2, 2024 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Most modern aircraft my dad has built so far Meng kit, main markings with Caracal decals, stencils are a mix of the kit and Caracal ones. Overall not a bad kit. The new Tamiya kits may be superior but also twice the price... Main colour [...]

A Canadian Spitfire

by Bruce Archer on June 1, 2024 · in Aviation · 11 ≡
