by David Butler on January 17, 2024 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Academy 1/48 A-10C

by Mark P Hartig on January 16, 2024 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

The most trouble free aircraft model I've ever put together, I can't sing praise enough. The only AM are the seabelts, and I tossed in a few bombs I had lying about spare. Painted in Tammy Sea Grey and Dark Sea Grey with a black Flory's [...]
