Naaah, no way this is Matchbox 😛 Brilliant, only the wide panel lines can tell it might be a bit vintage set 👍

Great build. Very nice weathering and paint finish. This looks like a decent kit for it's age.

Many thanks Vincent. There are many better options now, but a Matchbox kit is kind of special for us that started modelling in the 80s!

Is it still Matchbox or have you switched to Academy kit? 😉👍
20 June 2023, 18:54
Alberto
Thanks Roberto! @Lukasz, yes it's still Matchbox, you can tell by the trench size panel lines 😂
21 June 2023, 07:13
Łukasz Gliński
Not really, you have hidden that feature better than well 👍

Looks like one of those 1/4 scale masterpieces. Ultra photorealistic. Congratulations.

This looks amazing. Q - in pic 7, what did you use for the masking?
2 October 2023, 17:06

Thanks a lot Isaac and William 👍. For the masking I used AK Camouflage Elastic Putty
