1/48 Reggiane Re. 2001

by John Healy on February 1, 2021 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

This is the new Sword kit. It’s a completely new mold and shares nothing with the old Classic Airframes model of this plane. The plastic moldings on this kit are top notch, smooth surfaced, and fit well. The only things that indicate [...]
