Ki-51 Sonia

by Chas Bunch on October 27, 2023 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

Here's my recently completed Ki-51 from Wingsy Kits in 1:48. I was inspired by Wingsy Kits when I did a couple of A5M Claudes a while back. The kit did not disappoint, the surface detail is excellent. My only problem encountered during [...]
