Another Matchbox build from me, this issue of the Pather came with decals for Blue Angels #3 and Marines VMF-314. I ordered a set of Blackbird decals to replace the kit ones.

Im doing this for the IPMS Solano Korean War club build and like the A-7 it'll be gear up.

Mock up with its multicolored pieces.



Landing gear doors being closed.



Cockpit painted in Mr Color Green Zinc Chromate, still need to mask off the control panel, cowl and headrest.

Hi Michael.
Wow look at those plastic colours Looking forward to viewing your progress.
All the best.

Wow, zis part of the Matchbox nostalgia GB too?

I haven't really committed to the GB yet but this may be the closest to getting done and being OoB, the cannons are being replaced with some brass tube so don't know if it'll still qualify.

Well, the oob is kinda tricky. I've added some cockpit detail and blocked off the inlet, but it all home made sheet stock. Check with Damian, he's the final word. I'm guessing the more the merrier.
