A-10LOADER Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 WOW, extremely well done !! Love the RAM patch panels and all the little details. Not to sure what Eduard and RESKIT were thinking putting those "straps" around the bomb bodies though. Love the F-117 ! Steve Uilleann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
