Matchbox F-16A

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work.

Alberto
Thanks Villiers. I find very exciting the moment of getting everything out of the box to get started!

Alberto
It's not easy to find these days. I bought it 40 years ago! 🙂

Following. This was my first "serious" kit.

Neil Patrick
Looking great. Nice to see all that filling and sanding came good now the primer is on. 🙂

Alberto
Thanks Neil and everybody else for the likes. Let's hope after the painting it still looks ok!

Julian Herrero aka Yuri
Good progress ,,, like it ... I also spent some putty around the cockpit , but don't remember having so much trouble with the rest of the airframe ,,, Keep on !

Eric Thornton
I've never seen a Matchbox kit only the metal cars. This is interesting.

Alberto
Thanks Eric! Matchbox kits were really popular in the 80s in Europe and got many of us into modelling. I will always have a soft spot for them 🙂

Following. I built dozens of Matchbox kits as kid, never had this one though. Looking great so far 🙂

Julian Herrero aka Yuri
Good work .... another oldie being rescued from the stash

Alberto
Thanks Julian! Yes I do not mind building these old kits at all, it's rewarding

Guy Rump
Great job! 👍

Rando Dude
Looks really nice. Well done 👍

Alberto
You're very kind, thanks Guy and Rando 🙂

Neuling
Clean work with subtle shading and weathering. Elegant over all appearance.

Alberto
Thank you Neuling 👍! I was afraid the end result could be a bit plain/dull but I am very happy that you like it
