USAF C-XXX Transports
« on: December 19, 2019, 10:51:51 PM »
I could not find an existing generic thread for USAF "C-xxx" transports so here is one.

Via Facebook. The C-133 & C-124 are resin kits.







Work in progress ::

I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.
