by Joe Caputo on March 5, 2017 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Another "oldie" , built OOB, just because I like the unusual paint scheme. It's been re-popped by Revell, and is still available. It is a very basic kit, more fun to paint than to build.While it wasn't much of a challenge to [...]

by Greg Kittinger on March 3, 2017 · in Aviation · 18 ≡
