Wulfman Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 A great choice , one of my favourite Matchbox kits ! Wulfman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I agree a lovely choice and yet another one of those left field Matchbox subjects we all know and love so well. My Provost kit comes in the same box, however has bright red and white parts. Your sprues are quite interesting. Cheers, welcome aboard and best of luck..

Perhaps it was lost in translation, however I was hoping you'd take this as my bad attempt at humour mate.. It's all good @rs2man we are happy to keep this build in and are impressed by your eager enthusiasm. Cheers.. Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossm Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I have one built, don't remember much about it but I always thought it looked good so let's see all of them built if you can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klr Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I'm envious, as this is one of the very few Matchbox aircraft kits I've never built, or have in the stash. Well, there's probably a few I didn't care for (sacrilege in this GB I know), but let's forget about those. I even have some Irish Air Corp decals just waiting for this kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I'll have a think about it, but with about a zillion kits already in the stash, I'm not sure getting yet another kit is a good idea. Of course, the flip-side of that argument is what difference would one more little kit make? 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
