Splendid job on the classic Matchbox kit so far, my friend @kalamazoo! All this extra work will pay off!

Gradually coming together nicely, my friend @kalamazoo!

Coming together nicely indeed, my friend @kalamazoo!

Inspiration came with finishing the Hunter, wire struts soldered together, fuselage top glued on over them and some sprue glue to fill the gaps.

Great that you found the inspiration again, Allan @kalamazoo
Nice continuation.

Great to see this one back in action Allan! Very nice homemade struts - gonna add a lot to the finished project! Happy hunting for the wiring diagram. .
