Hi Roy, thanks and welcome! Yes, I enjoyed building that 1/72 Sabre so much for this group build I thought I'd have a crack at another one from my childhood 😀 I can actually remember buying this kit years ago from the newsagents I had a paper round at 👍 childhood memories 😀

Cool! I think I had this kit as a kid… I remember the stacked rockets for under the wings…

Excellent! Yeah, I wouldn't normally build 1/72 but really enjoyed the sabre so thought I'd build another from my childhood... Welcome mates and thanks for likes also to all who stopped by 👍

Thanks Neil! 👍 I guess many of us are attempting to relive our youth!?... Building one definitely takes me back, which is why after the Sabre I'd already completed for this group build. I thought I'd build another that I remember as a youngster 👍 🙂

I agree Neil. At that time I was building Airfix and the odd Revell kit, when Matchbox came along in the early to mid 70's for me they were the next step in quality, they seemed more detailed than Airfix and Revell and the stand was posable too.

That brings back memories. Great progress, looking forward to seeing the finished kit 🙂

Wow! Thanks very much Andy 👍 that's very kind of you to say such a thing. Though no way am I a master of anything! 😀 Thanks others for your likes too.
I'm hoping to tweak a few bits on the canopy tomorrow and then this'll be my second and final contribution to the highly enjoyable Matchbox group build.
Really enjoyed it. I have loved seeing everyones inspiring builds and of course happy childhood recollections for us all 👍
