“The Stars Look Down” 354th Fighter Group P-51B Tamiya 1/48th Conversion

Mustang
Hello everyone,
This time I wanted to build a slightly larger aircraft. I chose the Mustang and since I had another speech and debate I finished it during the competition wait time. The annoying thing about these competitions is that the [...]
