Interesting subject. Your plane is one of the Spotting Spits the Americans used on D-Day to improve the range of the battleships firing at inland targets?

Tomislav Martan Författare
Yes, that's one of them.

Well done so far. How are Wako's seat belts?

Thanks Łukasz. Fit is OK, typical for Tamiya..
Thanks Cuajete. Wako is OK, but frankly, PE is better (thinner).
