Bedders Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Looking forward to this Patrice. Years ago I didn't like the 20th FG black and white markings, but these days they are really growing on me. Interesting how tastes change. So I'll be following along.

Justin Hi Justin Thank you , I think that the Airfix Mustang is best suited for that conversion : the plastic is ''soft'' enough to cut off the tail ..
