Post by IronMan129 »

Hey all!
Well here is my Matchbox tribute to Ted.
Its the BAC Strikemaster.
I'm thinking about finishing her in Saudi colours as the Saudis are over at RAF Coningsby at the min on exercise.
Here is a pic of the box art and il post pics of the build when I get started.

This is another gem from Matchbox. It builds a treat!
I'm a mostly full-time modeller put a part-time poster....

I'm pleased to see a Strikey being built Maverick, I've only ever built the Airfix one so it'll be good to see the MB version coming together.

Hey all!
Yeah this kit is coming along quite nicely, almost finished now.
She's painted and just waiting to get the decals on and clear coat and she's a winner!
I haven't been able to get photos posted but they will come soon.
She's gonna look really nice next to my 2 Hawk T.1's and the A-37B Dragonfly!

Is it just me or are there no photos?

It's a nice kit though I did mine in Saudi colours.
