    **** Finished: 1/72 Amiot 143, 3rd Escadrille - Heavies GB

    Category: 2
    Scale:1/72
    Manufacturer: Heller
    Model type : Amiot 143
    Details : Armee de l'Air, 3rd Escadrille of the 22nd Escadre de Bombardement




    Just noticed, the small yellow wheel in the first pic is not part of the model - not sure how the heck it got there. As always, thanks for all the guidance, tips, and education.

    Very nice! I especially like the lines of rivets! Did the tail wheel break off?
