Always thought their catalogues were even harder to get here 😉

Welcome to the group build 🙂
Matchbox kits are quite nice to build, especially considering their age.

Welcome, Mates! @Torsten - it is really my very first Matchbox kit! @Łukasz - my friends' father was a sailor and brought him catalogues. @Jan - I only hope that decals will still behave friendly...

I remember building this kit as a kid. Looking forward to watching your progress, Robert!

Feel warmly welcomed, Mates! I do not want to dissapoint you, so I warn everybody that I intend to built her OOB 😉

Robert, I see you've found another interesting model in your stash. I wish you a successful build and look forward to seeing it completed. 👀

Thank you, Ludviku! In fact, it was purchased on purpose - to join the group here at scalemates 😉

LOL 😄 Not that really well known, at least in my childhood times in Eastern Europe...

Thank you, S M . I'm still hesitating on this... yet, if I would get this model as a kid, I would have made them folded, so... the answer seems obvious 😉

Thank you, Bernd! I am really surprised with the quality of this kit.

Great progress, I used to build my planes with non folded wings when I was a kid 🤔

The combination of blue and silver with yellow lettering looks very attractive. 👍
Why are the wings separated from the fuselage when painting? The only sensible reason I can think of is that you are going to make a model with folded wings. Or am I wrong?

Thanks for your kind words, Mates!
That's exactly the reason, Ludviku! 😉

I call her finished. I must admit that assembling this kit has been quite an enjoyable experience.

Album info
Since Matchbox kits were generally not easily available (at least very pricey in the unofficial market) in Poland in 1980ties I could only turn the pages of their catalogue...
