fightersweep Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hi All; Just a very quick plea for help. Currently building the lovely Matchbox Piston Provost ( a long time favourite kit of mine!) that I picked up a while ago without instructions. Now I thought that throwing this thing together would be easy, as hey!, it's only a Matchbox kit. Wrong! There is a V shaped piece in the cockpit that I presume is a crash bar...but I'm not entirely sure how it fits in properly. There doesn't seem to be any locating holes that I can see, so I'm wondering if anyone could help with the location of said piece? I don't want to guess and get it wrong! Thanks in advance...

fightersweep Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hi Wayne; Thanks for that...I appreciate it! It's location will probably be blindingly obvious once I know! Regards; Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fleming Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) It fits on the back of the seats. Dodgy mobile phone photo Edited February 10, 2012 by Dave Fleming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightersweep Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Thanks everyone for the help...I appreciate it! I now also know what colour to paint the seats..and that I need to add another bar running from the crash bar to the rear of the cockpit. An extinguisher might need to be added too. In comparison to the photo, the kit seats look more like something bought from the sofa people at DFS! Once again, thanks for the help.

Séan Pádraig Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) It is a great little kit which I hope gets a re-release sooner rather than later... A little easy tip... I added the little handels each side with some staples Edited February 10, 2012 by Séan Pádraig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
