by Thiago C. M. Pacheco on August 24, 2018 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Hobby Boss 1/35 M911 C-HET, Part 3 – The Trailer

by Boris Rakic on August 24, 2018 · in Armor · 22 ≡

The M747 trailer is, by its very nature, a rather simple looking piece of equipment. As the name “flat-bed” already suggests, we have to deal with something, well flat. And therefore possibly boring. Having found the Technical Manual [...]
