Jovac Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I would like to present to you my last completed project. It's Fokker D.XXI, the Dutch Air Force. The model is an old Matchbox, which is very dear to me, as well as most of their models. I did not often see this plane on forums, so it was an additional motivation for me to make it. Here's the picture. Enjoy. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thud4444 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) Wow, that's nice. Matchbox really had some nice kits didn't they? Edited November 1, 2017 by Thud4444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1xena Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Thanks for making me feel so old....I thought I knew all the Matchbox kits, and didn't recognise this one.....because it is too new for me! Nice job though. Cheers Tania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longweight Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I dont think its actually a Matchbox mould. It came out round about the time when they were transitioning to Revell ownership. I think it might be the "Pioneer" kit reboxed. I still have a Pioneer kit somewhere I think. Being Revell maybe its an old Frog job?

BerndM Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Lovely build of this rather exotic fighter and kit. It is not a Matchbox kit, this kit comes from PM or Pioneer. After Revell took over Matchbox they selled some other kits under the Matchbox label. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Iteresting model. I like your interpetation of Dutch colours - what it is exactly? The D XXI by Frog is one of oldest model standing on the shelves... I did it some 45 years ago. Frankly speaking I had not remebered Matchbox Fokker D XXI - however I was wrong, it was existing but this was rebox of old Pioneer mould indeed - then also produced by PM as I've just checked here: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/146584-pm-model-pm-201-fokker-d-xxi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Looks good. I remember doing one years ago, I think it was by Frog. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalako Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Love the paint scheme!!! My only suggestion would be that you need to be a little more careful when you paint the windscreen/canopy parts of a kit. Looking forward for your next model!

glatisant Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Nice build. Frog kit and Pioneer/PM/Matchbox kits were not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
