Revell 1/72 Breguet Atlantic 1 "Italian Eagle"

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on July 10, 2023 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Revell's new boxing was a good opportunity to explore the build of the venerable Atlantic. It is a solid old school build with thick and strong plastic and seam lines to fill. Yet, thanks to the low number of parts it is a quick build that [...]
