| | Never really been a fan of model helicopters, but the Apache, Commanche and Viper do appeal. I bought this on a whim in mid 2025 when I pulled out some (really!) old Tamiya/Italeri 1/72 copters from a box of unbuilt kits I'd had for years. Not heard of Dream Model before, but it's a very detailed kit and as long as the fit it okay, should build into a nice model. |
