by Richard Bungay on October 29, 2021 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

This is a beautiful kit in some ways and a bit of a pain in the wahoo in others. The surface detail is first rate as is the detail in the cockpit. I ran into a lot of trouble with the fit of the fuselage halves. Perhaps it was my fault; [...]

ICM 1/72 Polikarpov U-2/PO-2VS

by Alistair Gauld on October 28, 2021 · in Aviation · 20 ≡
