invidia Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Matchbox Fw190, this is a early 1970s boxing, so as old as i am, went together really well, first time i have used a figure in decades! the decals where unusable, so i got a cheap set and built it up. great fun, yes i know the paints are wrong!! yes i know the decals are wrong!! after building a few complex models, this was a lovely 'palate' cleanser. thanks for looking 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Stickler Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Ah, that takes me back! A very nice job and I know what you mean about a palate cleanser. I used to love those bases. Has anyone mentioned that the paints are wrong.......😉?! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Schilhart Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I fondly remember the care-free times of my childhood, building Matchbox and Airfix kits! They went into battle with my army of plastic soldiers on the living room floor. I did care little about paint accuracy and markings, back in the days! Thanks for bringing back memories. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Nice one. Why don't they put stands in kits any more? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Despite the “wrongs”, I see plenty of “RIGHTS” with it. I like it and the story that goes with it. Very nice!!!!! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
