This week we have a very military model for you, built almost 60 years ago, and one that I have really fallen in love with. Not only do I think Dad did a nice job on this model, but the features are really cool! I’m someone who gets excited about the removable, retractable and sliding parts, and this one is full of those. This model is also representative of some fascinating history. Information about the model features from the box is below. I hope you enjoy!
