Nice Wayne!
I see Jan has now got his own Svenske Panzerabteillung!
Aaron, the A20/Boston was a relatively smooth aircraft, so the surface detailing is about right. The kit can be built 'as is', without having to add much, if anything, in the way of interior detail, as a lot of it can't bee seen much through the narrow fuselage openings. But in any version, 'gun' nose or bomber, rear turret or open rear cockpit, it makes into an impressive model. Beware though, it needs a lot of weight in the extreme forward bomb bay, and anywhere else it can be packed, to keep the nose on the deck - see my build of the Italeri Boston III in the Bombers/heavy hitters GB.

Thanks for the heads up Terry. Excellent purchase Wayne. I need more practice before going to the German camo schemes though.

Does that mean you won't be doing a Fokker D.VII in WW1 lozenge pattern then? Ah, dang .....

....or some Italian bird with 'smokerings'?
Niiiice one Wayne! Unfortunately, I can't come up with an excuse to buy this one, no known D-11 '13', Riiiight?
Sorry no D-11 number 13's only the D-9 red 13....

Nice purchase Wayne, not sure I could cope with a 262 in 144 though
So, in just a couple of weeks or a month, I've gone from no heavymetal to:
2 x Tiger I's
1 x Stug IV
1 x T-34/85
1 x SU-85M
1 x Mk. 1c Firefly
1 x M4A1 Sherman (76mm)W
1 x Steyr RSO Tractor
So Jan not much has changed then, your still......................all tanked up.............

And why would you want to paint smoke rings on an Italian bird. She might get very upset !

Just acquired this via EBay:
Box is battered and the kit is part started - wings and pods/drop tanks assembled. And it's HUGE - I didn't realise just how big the Intruder airframe is. Otherwise in good shape, I may consider aftermarket decals though.

Good stuff TD and BT.
That B17 builds into a very nice model - and it is big! Takes up one complete shelf in part of my display!

I have read a few reviews that the MB Prowler is a bit of a dog assembly wise. There is certainly no detail of any kind in the pit area, but it looks like a fun kit to build if you take it for what it is - cheap and cheerful I seem to have been overcome by Matchbox nostalgia of late, hopefully I can scrub this up into a decent build!

Look forward to seeing it BT. The old matchbox range was huge, and although some of the kits were, as you say, a bit basic, they provided some lesser-known types, and all were a good basis for some nice models.
