Fine Molds Bf-109

by Scott Nelson on August 25, 2023 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

This was a nice little build. The kit went together like the proverbial shake n bake kits from Tamiya. The Finnish markings are a nice change of pace. I think I’ll look for another one to make the green and black camo version too.
