One of Matchbox's later models

I won't be using the glue and notice that the blue in the decal striping is too pale. I'll have to paint my own stripes.

Very basic cockpit
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/0/3/0/95030-14133-46-pristine.jpg)
Good engineering to ensure that the cabanes are properly arranged
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/0/3/1/95031-14133-80-pristine.jpg)
Good moulding on the engine, (I opened up the intake at the top).

Looks even better with some dry-brushing

I've had some problems working out how best to paint my blue stripes, with their ultra-fine, white borders.
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/8/6/7/99867-14133-84-pristine.jpg)
Masking tape and paint, masking tape and paint, masking tape and paint and repeat...

![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/8/6/9/99869-14133-41-pristine.jpg)
Nasty gaps around the windscreen, (and it was all going so, so well);
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/8/7/0/99870-14133-12-pristine.jpg)
Gaps filled with Kristal Klear, simply because I had it to hand. Painted over, a good enough result. Final checks before adding the upper wing;

Greatly assisted by Matchbox engineering...Just some rigging left to do now...
