Nice choice Peter. I have a bit of a thing for old Matchbox kits. Generally, for their age, I find them quite good.

 

[Guest]

A yes Peter another classic - great choice. Cheers Derek

Wow Peter, that was quick, I missed the start of your thread and you're finished before I can catch up.

Top work mate, nicely done.

Tony.

Great work Peter. Just one minor thing, the Australian roundel, as with the Kiwi in the RNZAF roundel, always faces head into wind. A breeze up the backside is not comfortable apparently. But great work on an old kit, it has come out beautifully.

The classic old Matchbox turned very well then. Good work peter.
