by Jim Sullivan on July 15, 2014 · in Aviation · 42 ≡

When I saw the actual photo of this plane, I just knew I had to build it. Other than the quite unusual white paint trim, it's pretty much a standard WWII tri-color Hellcat. I know it was from a Navy squadron but I have yet to identify [...]

Great model great tank)). Model is positioned as children, the assembly without glue, but! Looks like she is not a toy. Now I plan to collect from the other models of the company Zvezda-Tiger, Panther and IS-2.
