Meng from the Far
East have supplied us some pictures of their latest creation – the 1/72nd G.91R Light Fighter-Bomber built
up and painted – this little kit looks like it has lots of potential in the
right hands – they have also released details a while ago about their second
delta winged release in 1/72nd
scale the delta Dagger (flown by Ex-President George Bush Sr. himself). We
thought we would bring them both to you in our preview…
