binbrook87 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Really chuffed when I managed to pick this little gem up from SMW Telford this year as it's been on my wish list for some time. Lovely simple kit, goes together so well. The only downside is the canopy, but had i took a little more time i could have thinned it out a little and made it fit a bit better. Painted with Vallejo, and decals from the spares box to represent an aircraft from No. 6 FTS RAF Ternhill....my local....so have a soft spot for this one! Thanks for looking...... Together with stablemates..... Edited November 20, 2019 by binbrook87 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djos Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Nice oldie, very good finish. Your training aircraft collection is great Best regards Djordje 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMB Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Very nice! I have a few Matchbox Provosts in my stash and not much wrong with this kit, so not worth paying out for subsequent releases charging silly money, if you can find a Matchbox one. Surprised Revell never re-released this kit when they acquired Matchbox's moulds? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not that easy to get hold of and the few I've seen on that well known auction site are going for silly money 💰💰 If i can bag another one I fancy doing it with the orange strips as I've a few odds n sods decals lying around to replace the tired Matchbox ones. Yes and I'm surprised Revell never reboxed it either. Real shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cariado Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 That's a great little model right there! I too have a soft spot for Matchbox kits. Working on a Dornier Do-28D right now (the decals are stuffed, so it'll be a whiffer) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig88 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Very nicely done indeed! Besides the canopy, it looks great. Miguel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I always liked the Matchbox Provost brought on by the fact that I used to see real Provost's doing aeros overhead my house as a child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
