Wings of War - Series 2

==================

I put this together for fun... I did not have any card so had to ue a manila enveplope, it would have been better with thicker card. It should have some poles supporting the roof, but i didnt have any cocktail sticks to hand!

The base is not the original one, this one i made in Photoshop combining some grass and vehicle tracks. (it works better in real life)

Series 2 is now availabe!
