As a bit of fun, I didn't use any paint, filler, plastic card or aftermarket bits so that it could be built as Matchbox intended - at least like the illustration on the side of the box:

I must give a massive round of applause for building it the way Matchbox intended. Also for getting the joints damned near perfect. That's gotta be a first.

Well done.

Thanks everybody. 👍

 

This build brought back a lot of memories for me too. I built one of these when it was released in the 70s and it has always been one of my favourite Matchbox aircraft. I had never built another one of these until now.

Superb job Dave. I'm almost welling up with the nostalgia! Like several others on 5his thread, I made this too when it came out.  We had a tiny newsagents/toy shop in the village where I grew up that used to sell Matchbox kits. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a village model shop now!
