Happy Modelers Build Moth Minors

Image
  After building classic Moth Minors, the Club of Happy Modelers also built a Moth Minor Coupé from kit SH72504 as part of their group build project. You can see the results in the photos. Ondra also included one classic Moth Minor from kit SH72494 in the photoshoot, but the photos are so nice that it would be a shame not to publish them. And here, one of the Modelers has already acquired the new boxing SH72538 , so more completed models are certainly on the way.

In addition to plastic parts, it also contains a good measure of 3D-printed parts, photo etches and other accessories. As I mentioned last time, the May sets are all in 1/48 scale. The excellent rear gun turret for the B-26 Marauder stands out  among them, but the sets for the DB-7 Boston Mk.III (HK Model) or the seats for the Fw 190 kits from Tamiya are also worth noting.
