by Alan Rush on October 27, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 3 ≡

MQ-9 Reaper

This was a different kind of build. The kit is from Revell of Germany, but it's a rebox of a previous kit from another manufacturer and it's not a Tamiya style kit. The plastic is very grainy not smooth at all, like a limited production [...]

This is my other shop for larger model building and numerous other honey-do projects. I built this quite a number of years ago and just kept adding storage space, counters, and cubby holes. Being a Virgo, all my tools etc, have a place and [...]
