Greetings all,
I've been trapped in our utility room decorating ( I don't like decorating) so in between paint drying etc, I have started to build this 1973 classic from Matchbox.
Laurie has just started and is making good progress of the Revell re-boxed version of the same kit.
I did message Laurie to check he was OK with me doing the same build and he very kindly said go for it. So here I am, with a nice little build that should take me up to the 1:24 group build in January.

Interesting instructions.

For the exterior, I'm scribing and riveting, as there is little detail. The Trumpeter riveting tool works quite well, but I an wondering if the rivets will still be visible after a couple of coats of paint ?

The interior is as dull as the exterior, so I've added a few little bits and pieces just to liven it up a bit.

Of course, little will be visible when all sealed up.
Right then, it could be time for a bit of paint.
