As my fourth "Caged Warbird" built, I bring to you this russian ME-109 G, Revell 1:72. The inspiration, this captured plane seen in Pinterest: This model is not as good as it could be, a lot of ribs to cut, but finally I think [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Avro “Type 464 (Provisioning)” – 100th Anniversary of the RAF Group Build

by Tom Cleaver on July 20, 2018 · in Aviation · 17 ≡
