This little thing has sat in the box of doom unloved for many months. Finally got it finished off. Let down by the thick canopy but until the S&M kit I think it was the only on available.I swapped the roundels for some new ones from Xtradecal as the kit ones were boss-eyed.
Percival Provost of the RAF Central Flying School , Little Rissington , Gloucestershire.
This particular aircraft was written off in a night landing in February 1963.

That's sweet!

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Matchbox Percival Provost
Built this one many years ago and, over time, the dayglo panels have totally faded away, just like the real ones.
