stevej60 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Morning all,just finished for the Matchbox GB is their 109e,these are rare beasts these day's and I'd never built one in my youth so forty quid lighter this arrived in great condition but useless decal's.Techmod to the rescue and chose to depict Von Werra's famous aircraft which was downed during the Battle of Britain,he was captured but later escaped in Canada and made it back to Germany served on the Russian front but was killed in an accident off the Dutch coast flying the F4 variant of the 109.Many thank's for looking in. 55 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 The quality of this and the other models coming from the Matchbox GB continues to delight me. Well done Steve, this is lovely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejet Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Matchbox produced some absolute clunkers (F-86A, Hunter) but also some real beauties (P-12E etc). Lovely job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spitfire Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 What a wonderful job you have made of that Golden Oldie, it was one of the first 1/32 kits that I ever worked on and what a marvel it was then and from the looks of that one it still is.

jean Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Hi Steve, this is truly big and beautiful! Well done! So is it true that you bought your neighbors' home for all the 1/32 kits you are going to mass produce? We don't mind at all, as they all look great.
