A true king of the skies! Beechcraft 200 King Air in the service of the Royal Air Force
Do you know this too? Almost all of my kits tend to have a long to very long stay in the various stacks and storerooms of my model building sanctuary before they actually make it to the workbench.

REVELL - 1/72 C-160 TRANSALL " Eloka "
