Matchbox 1/48 skyraider A1-e

Hi gents,

I recently found a long forgotten about matchbox skyraider in the attic, my initial thoughts were to sell it but these have now turned to building it.

Doing  a bit of research i see lots of builds were the front end, even in some cases the wings get swapped for those off a tamiya or a just as old monogram skyraider, what i havent found is why?

So what is wrong with the cowling and the wings? and is it a major problem that needs the fix?

Should add money is tight so buying a tamiya skyraider just for bits doesnt seem the right thing to be doing.

Thanks

Also, check LoneStar Models for a re-release of the ex-Cobra Company A-1 interior. It really does spruce up the Matchbox kit. I'm not sure what Mike's production schedule will be, but it's worth check my from time to time.

I can't really answer your questions about using bits from other kits to improve the Matchbox kit.
