    FT230 Italian Behemoth - AAR

    J183 A Real Barn Burner - AAR

    J183 A Real Barn Burner - AAR This one appeared interesting and poplular as well, so I gave it a shot playing the French. The alternating setup makes it a bit fussy to get it started on VASL, but of course this is easily surmountable. Basically, there are some French fanatics holding out in...
