Just been looking through the stash and found one of these;

Also have the Euro decals for a Yellow Montana ANG Target tug so looks like I will do it in those markings.

I will attempt the Handley-Page Heyford. (or the Humbley Pudge Heiffer if you will)

There's a Matchbox Meteor on the bench to warm up with. It's not meant for this build but I'll throw in a Meatbox pic when I start my Heyford project.

I will be building the 1:72 Chinook.

It will hopefully be on a little base depicting it lifting stores onto the Falklands and also the rotors will be motorized.

Ive never done this before so it could all go a bit 'Pete Tong' (wrong), but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Hi mods, I also have a partially built kit, please see image below :

Is this eligible ? Most bits are not done, and the fuselage still needs a lot of work (more puttying, sanding and panel line scribing).

I had intended on doing a quick build of a Matchbox Meteor as a warm up but it seems that there may not be such a thing as a Matchbox quick build :coolio:

So I'm in for two kits, first the Meteor N.F. and then the Handley Page Heyford.

And away we go............

There are plenty of Matchbox kit that are easy to build (the Harrier is one of them) but some aren't. The Prowler is painful (engine bulges and air intakes) so is the A-7 (when representing deployed folding wings).

Sirs

I beg thee. please fine Sir's, may I attend this one,

I have managed to track down a Matchbox BF 109E 72 scale , kit no PK17 , had it stashed away, all parts off the sprue's and no decals, in a ziplock bag, so all will be dependent on me finding a set of decals for her,

Later

Graeme
