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.

Yaaaaay, 4 Sqdn. again!  :thumbsup: :bow:

That's a damn good job on a pretty basic kit.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Cool.  I love Matchbox kits, they take me back to my youth.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

That just shows what can be done with a basic kit, really come out well  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
