somtec Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) 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 Edited May 19, 2017 by somtec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don McIntyre Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 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. http://www.lonestarmodels.com/conversions-1-48.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don McIntyre Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Yes, Mike West of Lonestar made a deal with Chris of Cobra Company for masters, molds, etc. He's already released some Cobra Company sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
