Les Moore Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) This is the reboxed MPM kit so I've been told. Its pretty bad actually. Many parts simply do NOT fit. However the Matchbox kit was not available so I attempted this one. Not my brightest idea. Here is #11 for the year. Painted in MM enamels. All markings are from the kit.

Horatio Gruntfuttock Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Holy Cow! ELEVEN so far this year! Its only March. Do you sleep and eat at your bench? Seriously though, that is a lovely clean build of a slightly difficult kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrardandrews Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Really Brilliant looking kit, and it's said to be a hard project to complete, so makes it all the more special 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob85 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 You wouldn't know it didn't fit, well done for cracking on with it and getting it done, it's paid off Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Moore Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Thanks everyone. Your comments are deeply appreciated. Perhaps one day I'll find a Matchbox kit and re-build it. I seem to recall it was a decent kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfqweofekwpeweiop4 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 If you fancy making another Wellington, try the Trumpeter kit. It's considered by most to be the best Wellington in 1/72 and by reputation, the parts fit together! MPM are improving (including Special Hobby), not all there kits are that bad, so don't be put off by the experience of building this model. You've done well to get it together but I would suggest painting the prop tips Yellow (unless the instructions tell you a good reason not to) and perhaps a quick coat of Matt varnish to take off a bit of the shine. thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch K Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I'm glad you told us it doesn't fit, because there's no WAY anybody could tell from this! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
