Meng 1/35 AH-64D Apache Longbow Attack Helicopter

by Joe Roamer on January 7, 2024 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

Hello fellow modelers! How ironic that I got back into modeling in 2020 during COVID to keep my sanity and I'm now wrestling with my 3rd round of COVID as I finished this build. Such is the world we now live in. But sick time and holiday [...]
