Heinrich Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 The easiest way to com to a model is to scale the plans to 1/92 and base your work on the Heller SOLEIL ROYAL 1:100 kit. It is some rework to be done to the hull, baut after this it goes quite fast foreword.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
