guillaume320 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Red Zebra has always been one of my favorites! You have done here justice...!!!! I should build here one day as well, maybe with the gear up on a stand ) By the way I hope you don't mind me asking: Any chance you would sell me the Airfix decals? I've been looking for 229OCU/65®Sqn markings forever and I don't think there has been any aftermarket available... I had my picture in front of one in '89, when I was 9 and I must make that aircraft one day Best regards, Guillaume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
