by Roberto Lúcio - Bob on January 25, 2023 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

I have always made some effort to build Brazilian theme models, so I have several items in my collection. They usually are hard to build due most of the kits have some differences in comparison to the real thing operated in Brazil, so [...]

by Anthony Ricco on January 25, 2023 · in Sci-fi · 16 ≡
