But why a race with a genuine Matchbox kit? Does this old lady not deserve a little respect?
Well, maybe I'm a little too nostalgic. Back then, I (we?) built theses kits as fast as possible...
Have fun

We are just a bunch om friends that, just for fun, is going to a little groupbuild. No winner, no price. The only no.no it that we are not going to by upgradekits like resin parts. Scrathbuilds is OK and dekals from other versions.
This is my first Matchboxkit, and it is a fun kit. Some fitting errors but no big thing. Loking forward for my next step in this progress 🙂

Sure that these old Matchbox kits are fun to build I'm having myself too a great moment with the Supermarine Stranraer.
So let's see your next step...
