GREG DESTEC Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Ding ding, round 4....... I can't resist another build to this infectious GB Unfortunately i don't have any of the missing subjects but will balance up the Spitfire Hurricane ratio with this nice little kit. I anticipate progress will be swift as i am also taking part in the M3/4 STGB which has just started. So a couple of pics to get the ball rolling, thanks for looking Cheers Greg BTW I am doing the box top version as @CanadaMoe is doing the night intruder option. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Great stuff Greg I was getting concerned that Dave aka @Rabbit Leaderhadn't had anything to update on the build list in a while and he normally gets up to mischief if he's left unoccupied for too long Best of luck with this one. Cheers Pat 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Pat Yes, well you know me all too well. Actually I've left updating the build list for way too long so am now paying the price for my lack of attention! Great to see the Matchbox infection biting you again with this Hurricane kit @GREG DESTEC and I'm sure it will look great once built. Cheers and best of luck..

GREG DESTEC Posted March 26, 2022 Author Share Posted March 26, 2022 Morning all! Apologies for the lack of updates on this one but it went together so easily, and quickly it distracted me from taking photos, but there are a couple. All in all another really enjoyable build, which makes me wonder why i bother with the more modern toolings which are by comparison hard work at times! I think i may do yet another build in this GB but first i need to progress the Sherman i am building in that STGB. Anyway, here are some photos there will be some in the gallery too shortly. Thanks for looking, cheers Greg A comparison shot with the newer tool Airfix IIc. The MB kit still looks good for its age, i think 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyW Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Clean as a whistle. The Gallery shots look really good, showing the build off to perfection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galligraphics Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Very nice. This old kit might not have lots of detail but the basic shape is still very good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Looks great Greg. A smashing build of a Matchbox classic! 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Hi Greg, first time I see a Matchbox Hurricane built, and I dare say it scrubs real nice. The trenches are unfortunate, but it looks like a Hurri. And MB without trenches would be disappointing to the many! Great show.

bissyboat Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Lovely pair of Hurries. Always a pleasure to see a Matchbox kit come together on the workbench. ⚓👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
