by Chris Wallace on February 26, 2022 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Truth be told, I am not sure why I went online and bought this model in the summer of 2020. I may be very into Japanese WW2 planes but biplanes? Hey, I am not insane. Then again, these silver doped planes are very attractive with their [...]

"Overwatch" – 1/72 Macross Destroid Defender by Bandai

by Gavin Snowdon on February 24, 2022 · in Sci-fi · 6 ≡
