Henrik B Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Well, after my first ebay purchases I'm now the proud owner of the following: Hs 126, Hawker Fury, Brewster Buffalo, a smashed Corsair and a Siskin is on it's way... That Corsair - never send a kit unprotected in a jiffy bag! But, I got it cheap and that crack over the wing may be salvageable. Johnny Pilot never will see his legs again - did Douglas Bader ever fly Corsair? Other than that I'm not sure of what my second kit in the GB will be. Any ideas or recommendations? Plenty of Buffaloes already and I want to do a Finnish one which I don't have any decals for yet. The Fury I have decals for (the Modeldecals sheet which also include a Siskin) but there's an excellent kit already built. I guess it will be the Henschel or the Siskin... The Buffalo, Fury and Henschel all seem to be of Chinese origin with sometimes badly copied instructions and colour callouts in cantonese (?) so I may need some assistance there but the sprues look good and are in two-tone, although it doesn't match what the box claims! No stand in any of the kits. I guess chinese copies are OK? The Fury may however be original, it has the right colour sprue and is a bit different from the rest...

madmike Posted November 1, 2005 Author Share Posted November 1, 2005 The Hong Kong manufactured Matchbox kits are fine. During the 80's when Matchbox was taken over by Mattel, the manufacturing of Matchbox kits shifted to Hong Kong. So as far as we are concerned these are genuine Matchbox kits.

madmike Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 (edited) Just to let all Matchboxians know that we have 68 participants just one month into the build Is this some kind of GB record? MikeJ Edited November 2, 2005 by madmike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RCAFFAN Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 (edited) Hey Mike: Correct me if I an wrong but I believe that no one is doing a Cobra yet. I have a kit I was saving for a special scheme (tail rotor on Matchbox is on opposite side from the 1/72 Monogram kit representing early production IIRC) and am prepared to give it a try. I noticed you are posting stats, Is it too late to join? Bruce Edited November 18, 2005 by RCAFFAN Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bennygmanuk Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Mike, I Don't think I've officially entered my P-47 yet (despite having started a thread - oops, sorry). She'll be in the 'Natural metal and drab with Invasion stripes' scheme (looks like a good masking exercise), finished with the Tamiya sprays I picked up at Telford. Do I need to confirm by PM as before? Steve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
