Classic Airframes' model kits

Classic Airframes 1/48 Meteor FR 8 IDF

As a kid I used to join the party of raiders on newly positioned salvage IDF aircraft in public squares and kinder gardens. To this Meteor, I arrived too late as the cockpit was thoroughly gutted. Fortunately, this was a period of color [...]

1/48 Classic Airframes Cr.42

Classic Airframes 1/48 J-2F 5 Duck
