Brad Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Nice, make sure you reinforce the landing gear and especially the tail wheel (or even just straight up replace them if you can), they have a habit of collapsing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostbase Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Will be watching your build with a great deal of attention. I have one in the stash and am looking for some tips and guidance... Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes me back about 45 years to when I first saw the 32 nd Matchbox range in the shop window. It's crude,lacks detail,etc... I only paid 10 Euro's and will keep me going for two weeks. I never build the Sea Venom and Puma.I only do WW-2 Edited April 13, 2020 by Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Hello Erwin,I built this kit for the Matchbox GB here a couple of years ago,never did the Puma,Tiger Moth or Me109 but have built the Sea Venom and Dauntless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange that the 109 is the only one from the 1/32 nd MB-range that Revell didn't re-release. Lost molds ? Edited April 13, 2020 by Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) I decided to go for this... It will be a "museum" Spitfire with only the national markings.Unless I can find the correct code decals. I've added the first coat of the metal finish. Humbrol enamel metalcote 27001 with a bit of matt white and some silver. The final result might look different.Time will tell.
