stevej60 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I think you did a cracking job with this format for the Matchbox GB Dave youmight be even busier with this one! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Great job again Dave - one day you can give up model building and have a new hobby in updating various GB build lists . I pinned this thread so it should stay on top of the opening page, I believe there´ll be several of them in this GB . V-P 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Thanks for pinning this thread V.P. I’m starting to get the feeling that I may have bitten off more than I can chew, however I really do enjoy seeing classic old kits either just built or turned into modern day masterpieces. Maybe it’s because I grew up with a bunch of these kits so seem a little sentimentally attached. Anyway, I’m glad these lists are useful to some BM members and ts a great way to keep track of everyone’s excellent progress. Cheers..

Rabbit Leader Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 Phew!! - the Build list has just been updated and hopefully all you European Northern Hemisphere lot are off to bed! There are already signs of some very diverse builds about to take place which is a true reflection of how Airfix educated all of us during it's Golden period hey day. If I recall, the previous Matchbox II GB peaked at something like 120 builds and almost 100 Gallery entries and so far this GB seems to be hearding somewhere up from that. I'll go back now and start reading all these newly created posts. Cheers.. Dave 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 Build list edited. And what an addition it is, the very first released Airfix kit that we are likely to see built within this GB. Come to think of it, does anyone know what would be the last model that Airfix (UK) released that would qualify for this GB?
