Hi all. Dooleybird is finished, taken straight from the 1/48th Airfix P-51D kit; stickers and all. It's a very clean build but this one is for my mum who passed away on the 20th of October last year. Her maiden name was Dooley so it was an easy pick. I've got another one that has her name associated with it but that'll be later in the year. Apologies for the lack of build photos but this one was neat and tidy and a pretty quick build. Vale mum. All the best Mick

I really expected that someone else would have entered this one by now I bought this one just the other day specifically to fill the gap If I remember correctly after all so many years this is possibly the first Matchbox kit I built when Matchbox first got plastic models into the shops Back then I built it as Dooleybiird and I wanted to do it again, and I shall but not with the kit decals. A previous owner has cut the decal sheet, some Dooleybird decals are missing and although this sheet looks fine in the picture some of the markings have micro sized cracks through them I can save a few of the decals with LDF, but I'll buy the Model Alliance decal sheet which has Dooleybird on it; https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/ML72113 Some of the Matchbox parts are poor in design so I'll replace them with better parts from my parts files. The parts to change include the wheels and drop tanks [although I may leave those off and alter the wings to build it 'clean'] Back later; I have some Hawker Tempests, Sepecat Jaguars and a couple of other Matchbox kits to do yet
