Henschel Hs 126 - Matchbox 50th anniversary group build 2022

Moreno Baruffini
I'm following and really appreciating your project! Well done until now!

Fritz01
Thanks Moreno. Smooth and slow progress. Regarding the age of this kit, it fits really well.

Bas Tonn
Nice built Fritz, did you already sign up for the Matchbox group build?

Fritz01
Thanks Bas. The Matchbox group build was the reason to pick this kit from my stash, where it survived round about 35 years.

Never a Pro
Oooh dude, nostalgia is kicking in. I "built" that when I was 10! Definitely subscribing.

Roy McKay
Welcome Fritz and looking great so far!

Finn
Really like old Matchbox kits, well done and best of luck!

Gary Kitchen
Love it. This is what modelling looked like for me as a kid although not with the fine skills and finishing you've applied. I think I had this one, or a version of, back in the day and it sat proudly with the other multiple hues of Matchbox plastic colours. Great build so far and great GB idea - very nostalgic. 👍

Fritz01
Never a pro, Roy, Finn and Gary thank you for your kind comments. And yes, it is a kind of "back to the roots". But it is fun, to use paintbrush, colour modulation, panelliner and so on on a basic old kit.

Simon Nagorsnik
Nice work so far!

Fritz01
Thank you Simon.

Moreno Baruffini

Finn
Well done!

Neuling

Łukasz Gliński

Julian Herrero aka Yuri
Indeed it's time to build ,,,, 37 years in the stash ...qood work by the way ... like it !

Fritz01
Thanks, mates for your kind comments. The kit was fun to built, and the price was just about 2 € (okay 37 years ago)!

Simon Nagorsnik
Nice looking end result!
You did a good job on this plane👍

Villiers de Vos
A very nice result.

Fritz01
Thanks, Simon and Villiers.

Erik Leijdens
Great result on this ancient kit, looks good!

Alec K
Agreed, very nice job 👍

Fritz01
Thanks Erik and Alec. Yes, it is an ancient kit, but it was smooth building and only very little filling and sanding.

Neil Patrick
Agree with all the praise for this. Lots to like but I especially like the depiction of the 70/71 greens. Can I ask which paints you used for these please?

Fritz01
Thank you, Neil. Paints are AK Interactive Real Colours RC274/RLM70 and RC275/RLM71, modulated with umbra and siena oil colours (Schmincke), sealed with AK matte varnish.

Neil Patrick
Thank you Fritz! Much appreciated. Will get these myself too I think.

Gary Victory
Classic Matchbox.... one that got away from me back in the day. Really nice build Fritz01.

Fritz01
Thank you Gary, you're welcome.

Andy Ball

Fritz01
Thanks Andy, it was a pleasure.
