vppelt68 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I'm sorry Mish, I didn't mean to be rude (and now I'm trying to remember which word I used originally in stead of "people" but I can't). Regards, V-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 All, (VP I'm not singling you out) please refrain, even in a light hearted way, from knocking people who may not want to build an older kit. Your only four away from the vote please don't get peoples backs up now. Thanks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobster Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Hi Arniec, Can I put my name down please...I've got a Beaufighter, Lysander, Sea Fox and a Siskin waiting to be built. Rob. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonehammer Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I have a few in the stash and I'd like to take part. Perhaps I'll use this GB as an excuse to buid one and add two or more to the stash while I agonize over which will be The Chosen One... but a Revell re-edition of the He.115 might fit the bill. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) Thanxs bobster and Bonehammer. You have been added to the list. Now we just need two more to fit the bill. Please If you want a change from a difficult build, start a Matchbox kit and you will be as happy as you were when you were a kid. I know I am!!!!

vppelt68 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I just realized I´m starting the only Matchbox kit in my modest stash in the WHIF GB. So I need another one. I know a local Revell stockist has Walrus and Beaufighter that should be of Matchbox origins. And they have the platinum edition of the Flower class corvette... But what I´d really like to build is their Bf 110. It´s, like the Ju 188, one of those I never built when I was a kid for the first time :-) V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 ...and I just checked some web auction sites for Matchbox Messerschmitt kis and I will never, never pay as much for them! I guess it´s time for this then... V-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it´s time for this then... V-P Only the fool on the hill pays some of the prices on ebay for matchbox kits, plus you would probably pay about a fiver tops for the Matchbox Me 110 at a show. I have a Matchbox Me 110 in my stash, unfortunately it has no canopy so I am hoping to replace it with the Revell one in my spares bin. The Matchbox Me 410 is also a interesting looking kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 There is luckely still some time find one. At some shows you can pick them up for just a few quid. Although at the moment that becomes more rare. But just 2 weeks ago I found a few at a Belgian show (KMK) for 2 euro each. Most of them I already had, so only took the 3 that I still needed. Keep looking vppelt68! They are there somewhere. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
