Title: Matchbox Strikemaster
Post by: Chris Payne on May 17, 2016, 01:32:23 PM
Just finished a quick build.

Matchbox 1/72 BAC Strikemaster, built as a Whif in 4 sqn RAF Middle East Air Force markings.

About 2 and a half days start to finish with a few bulkheads added to keep the nose weight in and hide the empty space behind the seats as well as capping off the jet pipe.
