Matchbox/Revell 1/72 Privateer (Coastguard conversion)


Recommended Posts

That's brilliant.  Not only a rarely seen model but a conversion to boot.  Beautifully rendered.  Yet another interesting and unusual type that Matchbox kitted.  What a shame they are no longer with us.

Meatbox8 said it best: Not only a rare subject, but a conversion to boot.

 

And well-rendered, too!

 

I have one partially started, before i got seduced by the seemingly more straightforward Academy PB4Y-1. Say what you will about Matchbox and their sometimes ham-handed treatment of surface detail, but more often than not they get the shapes right, and IMHO they got the shape of the nose better than most.
