Also got the Mig 15 painted, I have shaded a few panels but it's hard to tell. Measured it against the Hobby Boss kit and it's a lot bigger. No Idea where Airfix got the measurements. Also the Buckeye sits forlornly waiting for me to to find interest in it again.

Nice NMF on the mig, and it would be great to see you finish the Buckeye!
Best wishes

I'm not a huge fan of the Buckeye as a subject it has to be said, but looking at it purely as a piece of modelling it looks good from here. The MiG-15, on the other hand, I am a bit of a fan of and that is a great looking NMF you've achieved.

It's been a while since I was last here, going through an anti social phase!
Whilst the modelling juices have been up and down for a good while I have managed to get some work done. I finished off the Chinook,no love for it. I made hard work of it and put me off tinkering for a good while.
Also been working on a few other Matchbox kits, some of which are for Telford.

Cheers Iggie.

The Little Provost has half the decals done. Swapped the roundels for some from Xtradecal. Other than the old decals being a bit gloopy the dayglo has gone ok . I was worried about the leading edge stripe though, mind you still have the other to do yet.

A nice looking set of Matchbox builds, Shane. Telford comes around all too quickly for my liking.

Cheers Shaun, my thoughts exactly hence pulling my finger out.
Decals done on the Provost, exhaust and pitot to fit now. Decaling the Airfix Mig 15.

Lovely to see your current builds. Looking good!
I am not a big MiG-15 fan, but I did build the original Airfix kit in its day. Would be interesting to see them side by side.
And I have also built the Matchbox Provost, but did not do it justice as you are doing.

cheers,

David

The Mig 15 is all decaled and on its wheels, just needs the canopy adding now. The Matchbox P 47 is at the decal stage, these aren't the kit markings but are from a Superscale sheet.

Finished the Mig and taken the P-47 back to the bench to paint the white fin stripes as the decals were not too good.

Finished off the P-47 and pulling the shutters down for the next 2 weeks as I jet off to hotter places with cold beers.
Hiding behind the shutter is a Matchbox Lightning F6 and an Airfix Tomcat. Hopefully when I get back the enthusiasm will still be there.
