by George Henderson on February 21, 2017 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

Next on the oddball list: This aircraft was captured by the Americans and turned over to the British. A nice kit that can be built as a single or two seater by virtue of inserts fitted over the spine. I had some fit issues here but nothing [...]
