So here is the kit;
Now I know others have built this with the low back and I make no apologies for that is what I intend to do, because I want a low-back XVI for my line-up.
But a wee bit of panic set in there. This was a sealed kit. The sprues sealed in a plastic bag since it was new. But the bubble canopy is missing. Has Matchbox got a good spares dept? ummm, thought not, so a search through my spares got me the sliding portion of a Spitfire bubble canopy. I can match that with a windscreen cut from a hi-back set.
And the spare decal files will be ravished to provide markings cos the decals that came with this kit were a) water stained, b) well out of register. So a wee look at Wings Palette for some ideas will be in order.
Should be able to get some sticky and painty done tonight.
