Title: 1/2 Scale Ka3 from Belgium
Post by: Fred on August 21, 2015, 14:33:35 PM

Stay tuned!

One of my customer in Belgium is building a whooping 1/2 scale Ka3 from my plans.
So far, it is looking really good  :clap:  :clap: (and did not wasted time on top of that! :clap: )

I'll update this thread as it goes.
Now, that makes me thinking...  :?:  :?:   :P
