Tamiya 48 scale Sky Raider built OOB with some scratch building on the seat.
This model was built for a special event named “Wash & go” during IPMS Open (Sweden) a couple of years ago. The deal was to build a model in quite a limited time; one week ahead of the event you got to know what model was to be [...]
