Last week, we received the very first test shot samples of the most recent addition to our production plans, the 1/72 Super Mystere SMB.2 / Sa'ar fighter plane. You have already been able to examine closely not only the testshots themselves, but also the partial build illustrating the internal components of the fuselage.
