Title: PuRES V2
Post by: rogallo on October 27, 2018, 12:25:03 PM
I got my kit from Germany and started the build last night. Number of parts reminds me of the Graupner "Quickie kits " with 700 or so parts.
Great material quality with a lovely colour plan.

Yesterday I premiered my PURES. Fully satisfied
  Very docile and noble, stable and light. A design hit and very easy and pleasant to build.  ;D ;D
