kapam Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Outstanding builds! You've really created masterpieces from kits which (to my knowledge) are not considered the best foundations. Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tail-Dragon Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Beautiful, I can't believe those are 1/72. While it might not fit the theme - perhaps you need a shark mouthed camo P-51? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
