Hello All,
Yes you can believe your eyes, Andy is actually posting a model build in the club website.
I was browsing on eBay with a glass of wine the other night when I stumbled upon this little gem.
I built this kit when I was about 13, so its got some nostalgic interest for me. Anyway, I'm going to do it as a simple build.
By the way, it came all the way from Italy, for a price... Don't buy stuff when drinking wine :-[ ;D
Here goes.
I also built this in my youth Andy, have a nice time reminiscing as you go along.
I also built this when it came out. I still have it finished in desert colours. It's quite a nice kit.
Bump!
That's me falling off my chair. Andy is posting a build again, after a long hiatus.
I never built this one Andy, but did some of the other Matchbox offerings.
I'm sure you will enjoy building this one and I look forward to seeing it progress.
Got a bit more done today.
The fit of the parts is quite good and the detail is fine for this scale. No wonder these kits were so popular.
Looks like you are having fun!
Coming together nicely.
You're cracking on with this Andy.
Hi Andy, I remember this kit coming out, but never built one. You're cracking on with it.

All built and primed up ready for painting.
Its a while since I built something this small.
I'm sure you will do it justice Andy.
Coming along very nicely.
When you look at the instructions and parts I think IBG could learn a lot about KISS!!
Nice work Andy.
Hello Modellers,
The parts are coming together nicely. Ready for a few transfers.
Thanks all.
Looks great Andy,
Are those homemade curtains for Monty's trailer?
Looking good.
Great work on the base.
Almost there. ;D
Looking good.
Nice!
Good progress Andy.
All done, I think.
Maybe I'll ad some antena, we'll see.
Thanks all.
Excellent Andy for such a small scale.

Great work Andy, well done. We watched 'Pressure' the other night and Monty came across as an Old School WW1 General"We go no matter what the weather" re D Day planned for June 5th.
Great job on a classis kit!
A stunning result Andy. Nice to see you back here on the website.
Next up the LRDG?
Excellent work Andy. It looks really nice.
great work
Thanks for the comments everyone. It realy is a great kit for its time.
Just got back from a weekend away in near Kendal. I went to vist the Ruskin musium in Coniston and had a good look at Donald Campbell's Bulubird K7. Maybe I'll build one of my own... ;D

How hard can it be?

Superb!
