1/72 Skunk Works

Post by Ratch »

Here's a small vignette I threw together from recent builds, made up with the Academy SR.71A, Airfix Astronauts, AIM starter cart, and Hasegawa US Pilots & Groundcrew. Thanks for looking, I hope you enjoy the scene.

Great use of the figures an accessories. I think the guy sat eating his lunch on a toolbox is getting it in the neck from his mates.
