by Rafi Ben-Shahar on December 13, 2023 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

Revell's big Wurger is a very nice kit. Fit of parts is good and the BMW 801 is included. This combination is rare among Wurger model manufacturers because in most cases cowling panels would not close properly on the engines not to mention [...]
