by George Henderson on March 24, 2023 · in Aviation · 40 ≡

I'll let Eduard explain the story... What can be said about the Tamiya kit other than the well known wheel size issue that I let be and the upper gun cowl fit. I went over a lot of builds on different sites and saw that many modellers [...]

by Wes Pennest on March 24, 2023 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

I snapped this up from Sprue Brothers right before the sanctions were in place, so this may be one of the last Zvezda models I (or anyone else, for that matter) do for a while. It was in the mail when the war started and arrived on my [...]
