An Inauspicious Inaugural – Frog Typhoon IB
I built this kit many years ago when I resumed building after my growing hiatus. It is the Frog kit number 231. While I have not measured the length and wingspan for accuracy the overall shape seems good. The spinner seems a little bulbous [...]
Focke-Wulf FW190A8, Airfix (A01020A) 1/72

1/72 MPC Eagle 4 with Lab Pod and Spinal Booster
INTRODUCTION
“Now we're sitting on the biggest bomb man's ever made.”
