Nice score Brickie. The Hellcat was my first Matchbox kit. Long gone of course.

Sign me up for this one too. I have a soft spot for Mbox kits. Not sure what I'll choose though.

Some further musing on this GB has made me think I'd like to try my hand at rigging a biplane. I'm in with a Swordfish.

Also, although risking ripping a hole in the space-time continuum by me not building a late WWII subject, I may also try my hand at an AW NF Meteor!

Eregards

I'm in with either a Supermarine Stranraer, Walrus or Dornier Do.18D. All in original Matchbox boxes.
On second thoughts, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place!

Not sure which one(s) I will do, as I have quite a few to choose from, plus Revell reissues. Guess I will hopefully be able to narrow down a smallish list of likelies by the start date.

I've just sold some models to fund my railway layout, including some Matchbox but I think I still have something. Possibly an F-4 Phantom or Lysander.
Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!! :lol:
