Paul Bradley Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 A pair of recent completions. First, the Matchbox 1/72 Mystere IVA, done for the Matchbox Anniversary GB over at UAMF: A rather crude kit, lacking detail and subtlety, but once you've filled in all the trenches, it doesn't look too bad. Finished with the late, lamented Testors Metalizer Aluminium. Secondly, the ESCI 1/72 F-5B. This is a definite step up in quality despite being nearly the same vintage. Also finished with Testors Metalizer Aluminium. 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binbrook87 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 They've scrubbed up really well. Superb job on both but the F-5 is particularly nice. Wouldn't have guessed they were Matchbox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bradley Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 Cheers! I haven't seen the Matchbox F-5B personally, but I understand its OK. The Mystere isn't one of their finest hours though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've built that one too many years ago and is super kit ..as are all of the Esci F-5 range. You've done a fine job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
