stevej60 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Hi folk's this weekend see's my final two build's for the Matchbox 50th anniversary GB.Picked up this one from e-bay where there are always a few examples for not a lot of money,that said they are over 40 years old now so decals can be a challenge this one's worked fine.What you do get is a very basic kit by today's standards but then that's what these classic GB's are about putting our various skills to use on kits we probably slapped together in a couple of hours when we were kids! Thanks for looking in. 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 That's very smart. With original decals too. Matchbox were a lot better than I remember to judge from this excellent build. Well done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonehammer Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Great job! Matchbox didn't seem to capture the lines of the air intake correctly. Kudos to the original owner for the excellent conservation, you cartainly made the most of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in a shed Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 This really is a fine looking Fury, great job with the old kit. Ive never made one and seeing this has jolted my interest in finding one in 1/72. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
