Marcel Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Hi guys, I should have a Fury somewhere in my stash. Would you mind if I join the party? And I think there is a Revell Walrus hidden somewhere plus an AMT Spitfire IX (if these count). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fury is an absolute Matchbox Classic so that will be great to see. I’d also say that your Walrus and Spit IX are no doubt original Matchbox moulds, so we are very happy to have those included as well. Cheers..

JackG Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) Thank you @Rabbit Leader for responding to my questions. The kit is the Siskin, and though the main wing is not attached, the lower one is, as is the landing gear framework (but not the wheels). If sub-assemblies not attached to the main body count against the '25% rule' then this project does not meet the criteria. The engine has been completely rebuilt, and is composed of approximately 206 parts. I think is safe to say that is well over half the parts for the entire model, even though am still in the process of designing replacement parts to be custom photo etched. For decals, I have redesigned a complete set for a Canadian subject, including stencils and stitching, the latter of which still needs to be sanded off the plastic. regards, Jack Edited November 20, 2021 by JackG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I decided to take a punt on one and leave it at that - I've learned the hard way to avoid buying something at all costs.

We will accept any boxing of that initial kit. Cheers.. Dave Yes, PK-127, 3 sprues in grey, black and white. To be built as a Brymon example.

You are most welcome to add those two as well! Cheers and nice to have you aboard.. Dave Matchbox themselves are thinking along the same lines, although they want me to build a Walrus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
