by Robert Royes on April 15, 2023 · in Sci-fi · 5 ≡

L-59 ALBATROS

by Jesus Hermosell on April 15, 2023 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Hello guys, I present to you the last work. A very good trumpeter model.The worst is an injection mark on the glass, which has been necessary to polish. Another bad thing that I have found, as in other trumpeters, has been the [...]
