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

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

Oooh dude, nostalgia is kicking in. I "built" that when I was 10! Definitely subscribing.

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. 👍

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.

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

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

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?

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.
