just love old matchbox. I've got this kit in the stash as well, have some spares from the Academy "F" for the cockpit and nose. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this!

It has Hasegawa G wings with the tip vents blanked out. Probaply get its props, cowls and engines. I m a exterior guy being particular on markings and very subtle effects so just a suggestion in radio room and nose will be all the interor. Trailing wire mast, piots and the like will be added in F fashion.

Album info

Note Vega reversed cheek positions of this block and later F Series and buldged port window. It will get a K-type mount.

The superior shape and proportions of the MATCHBOX fuselage is evident in the picture angled in from two o'clock high.
