Handley Page Heyford MK II Revell/Matchbox, 1:72


Recommended Posts

Thank you all, for so many commends and so many postive words! And all your likes!!

@Arniec Sounds nice. I never did a contest before. There is  really a Matchbox bird i would like to do, but i got bad luck at E-Bay with my Vickers Wellesly. There are sadly some missing parts. I could`not get them, until now, here in Germany.

Best regards

Stefan

A beautifully built Heyford as Mr Matchbox intended.

 

And good to see someone else who puts the aircrew in their model too.

 

Thanks for sharing with us Stefan.

That is a lovely job, you were better off building the revell version as it has better quality decals. I may go for building one of these in the matchbox group build later this year.

Everyone's idea of ugly is different, I tend to like most aircraft myself, shame there isn't a Heyford in museum somewhere.

Nice build! The rigging looks great, and it's always good to see an aircraft crewed up.

A few years ago I was looking around the air museum at Doncaster and sat on the floor almost forgotten amongst the other exhibits was a real Heyford main wheel spat still with green paint. In recent visits I have not seen it,  I wish I had photographed it. It probably came from a Heyford based at nearby RAF Finningley.
