This is the
very very old kit by Matchbox, manufactured back in the late 60's (???),
purchased a few years ago at a modelling show in Athens and actually built
three years ago. The kit did not feature adequate quantity and quality of
detail, so I really had a lot of stuff to scratchbuild. Almost the entire
cockpit was improved with plastic card, while the whole engine compartment
was scratchbuilt and improved with solder wire as well. The flaps and the
air brakes were repositioned, some panels opened, but I decided to keep
the raised lines of the model. It was airbrushed exclusively with Tamiya
acrylics and lightly weathered with chalk pastels.
I hope you
enjoy it!

model.
Although an ancient
kit, it can still be built up to a nearly magnificent model.
