Attack Squadron MQ-8C Fire Scout 1:72 – build review

With Andy Frill

A note from Geoff…
It’s great to be able to welcome Andy to SMN and he makes his debut here with a really interesting model and subject. We don’t often feature helicopters and this is completely unintentional and I am keen to feature these whenever we can :)
