how much can still be seen?

[BsYamato]

Thanx for comments

how much can still be seen?

few things i suspect..

Because humidity was too high painting session is suspended.. then another planned four engined plane received more works





Asap will start the thread too of it

Ah! The enormous Junkers Ju 290 from Revell! A beautiful kit! Sadly mine didn´t survive a move some years ago...
This aircraft has a larger span in 1/72 scale than a 1/48 scale Boeing B-17!!!
