by George Chatzidakis on December 13, 2021 · in Aviation · 30 ≡

Special Hobby's kit is quite good, albeit of the older type of their kits. With relatively moderate effort it turns out fine. The interior is unexpectedly complete for the scale, but it takes plenty of test fitting to ensure a tight [...]
