Just another step along the way.

One thing I noticed about this build is that the sprues are clearly marked PK127 confirming the Matchbox lineage but the word Matchbox is marked out of the mould. Also the copy has a slight distortion so the fit is not up to the Matchbox name. But still it is not a bad kit.

General assembly and body work is done. Due to my all thumbs construction technique two side windows have fallen inside. :frown: Micro Crystal Clear will be used to fill the space. :grin:

Playing around with the paint mix now.

Frustrating, that. I hope they come out looking pretty close to the kit windows.

Afraid I am out. Stuck out of town to much. Will finish up in the Aviation thread.
