Saxon's FW-190 **FINISHED**

Post by Saxon »

One of the first kits I built when I started modeling again as an adult, a nice kit which comes with air to air rockets, bomb and what looks like a gun pack?

I will be building it in the green over blue scheme on the back of the box which is what I built many moons ago.

I've been wanting to do that with a Matchbox kit but not this one! I really like the colour scheme!

Just acquired one of these, first time I've had one since Christmas 83. Brought back some good memories.

Much nicer aeroplane than the long nose version.
That's looking nice.

I agree, Nigel. I prefer the A or F to the D. Silly looking thing!
