Oh and there was one kit I forgot!! 

 

PK-111 : Junkers Ju 87 D-3/G-1 (1976)

 

Still have the busted remnants in a ziplock bag somewhere 🤣

Those old builds are something really special. Lucky you for still having them.

My early builds are just a memory now, hazy ones at that! A couple of photo's from the eighties are all that remain of the early days.

My F4 Phantom build is now finished, bringing the scores on the doors up to a nice round dozen completions so far.

A change of scenery will do me a bit of good, so the next few builds will be four wheeled.

Things haven't settled down but as Dave @Rabbit Leader mentioned it in the Zero Thread here are some photos or it never happened :

 

Firstly found these Stragglers :

 

 

 

No that's not the Stragglers that my Number 2 Driver in all his glory - probably not looking forward to his driving stint between Prime and Alt. 

 

And this is the way he gets out of his stint - sound asleep on the Number One Driver's Shoulder at 100 kph! 

 

 

 

 

 

Now to the Stragglers :

 

 

 

Then found these Orange Series Kits :

 

 

 

 

 

Which led on to these AFVs :

 

 

 

And then the next Box (well five or six Boxes later actually) had these Purple Series Kits :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then finally (maybe like "Never say Never" as there may be more - somewhere!) these three Stragglers also :

 

 

 

In my Defence a lot of these were bought when I was in an extremely demanding Job that was exceptionally depressing owing to the poor moral and ethical standard of the Senior Managers and General Managers so buying Kits was a way of warding off Depression (but also not being able to make them probably was depressing in it's own right!). 

 

Man Alive some stuff there, Love a bash of a Sky Servant. Must keep an eye out for one. Was not cool enough at the time when I was making more War like subjects!

I’ll start, however rather than post my tiny stash, I’ll post some previous photos of regular contributor @Rob S. Rob is currently moving house at the moment so although he may not be in a position to model as much as he would like, I’m sure would be happy to show off these photos as some type of GB contribution. Warning, I’ve got first dibs on everything, so the Congo line starts behind me! 

Cheers.. Dave 

 

Swoon.

 

Just in case you're wondering @Rob S, I am available for adoption and willing to move to anywhere including Brisvegas.

I had intentions of doing this GB, but other projects got in the way (diorama's for family & friends).  However (and I think I've posted these elsewhere) here is some of my Matchbox stash & a few built kits.  I now have 77 of all 107 1st Edition 1/72 Matchbox aircraft kits (72%), but I've stopped collecting (for now at least).

Great to see a fellow Aussie and MB enthusiast on the forum!

 

Also have to say really great builds and finishes on your built kits

 

Lote of great memories

 

For the record I like the Corsair that started off preceedings

 

It's just a different and interesting colourful scheme....well done you well done Matchbox!

Finally after sitting in a box for the last two years last night I got round to finishing the box of bits that turned out to be my old matchbox moth. 

I don't think I will have time to do the moth I have in the stash but I will see if I can make time.

Recently inspired by this GB, I dusted off the Mirage from the SOD and finished.
