Want to build this again as a reminder?

Always thought their catalogues were even harder to get here 😉

Jan Peters
Welcome to the group build 🙂
Matchbox kits are quite nice to build, especially considering their age.

Welcome, Mates! @Torsten - it is really my very first Matchbox kit! @Łukasz - my friends' father was a sailor and brought him catalogues. @Jan - I only hope that decals will still behave friendly...

Jan Peters

Wellcome to this "child(teen) nostalgia " group. Following

Robert Podkoński
Thank you, Julian 😉

S M
Nice progress! Are you going to make the wings folded?

Robert Podkoński
Thank you, S M . I'm still hesitating on this... yet, if I would get this model as a kid, I would have made them folded, so... the answer seems obvious 😉

Bernd Grün
Nice progress, Robert. It turns out great.👍

Robert Podkoński
Thank you, Bernd! I am really surprised with the quality of this kit.

Torsten
Great progress, I used to build my planes with non folded wings when I was a kid 🤔

Ludvík Kružík
The combination of blue and silver with yellow lettering looks very attractive. 👍

Why are the wings separated from the fuselage when painting? The only sensible reason I can think of is that you are going to make a model with folded wings. Or am I wrong?

Robert Podkoński
Thanks for your kind words, Mates!
That's exactly the reason, Ludviku! 😉

Robert Podkoński
I call her finished. I must admit that assembling this kit has been quite an enjoyable experience.

Łukasz Gliński
