by Gábor Szabó on October 25, 2018 · in Reviews · 15 ≡

This model represents Franz von Wero's aircraft from the Battle of Britain. This model has bothered me a little. However, the result I think is to watch. Models and Wet Transferod from HGW were used on the model. the belts are a little bit [...]
