Revell made this kit many years ago so I was kinda wondering if it was a copy of a real flying airplane. With data written on the kit instructions, it was a real flying machine. I found some photo's of the real one on the net. This kit was [...]

Uss Lassen - DDG82 - 1/700 – Hobby Boss

by Manuel González on September 12, 2020 · in Ships · 6 ≡
