| Modeling the N-3 | ||
|
All scales Scratchbuilding this one is your only choice, it is quite different from any available model. I am not aware of any brass models either. The drawing on the N-3A page is close and with the addition of some rivet detail could be used to build an acceptable model from styrene. |
