1/72 Matchbox Dornier 28D Skyservant

1/72 Heller Saab J-21`
As most Heller kits, this one is delicate with fine molded parts. Being an OV-10 fan, I've always liked the twin boom configuration., and found this interesting. The aircraft is larger than one may expect, and is one of the few that was [...]
