      Good work on the paint job Dann. An old kit, look at those recesses, but very nicely put together and painted.

          I used to love the old Matchbox kits with their multi coloured plastic and deep panel lines. You have made a great job of the kit Dan, nice one.

            yeah like canyons, was going to fill them in a bit, but decided to build it as they were built when released

                    Memory lane or what ? It's great to see an old Matchbox kit built. Nice job on an old favourite.

                            That's a really decent turnout of a old model mate, well done.


                            I find one thing really useful when I want to get a nicer/smoother finish on the paint after airbrushing if I ever get any splatter is a quick once over with a very fine smoothing/buffing stick. My wife is a beautician so I get all her old worn ones which are perfect.


                            Cheers
