Review: We’re Being Invaded! Actually ICM’s B-26B Invader 1/48, it’s here.
It truly has been a great end of the year. With anticipating announcement earlier in the year now becoming available. Then those we have been waiting for like the AMK F-14D that seem like it would never be produced, during that span [...]
