Matchbox 1/72 Avro Lancaster

1/72 Matchbox Provost (Pk-30)
I built this from the original Matchbox kit (2 colour) that was issued in the mid 1970's. I don't know if it was ever issued under Revell (it seems not). The decals had the usual residue of the Matchbox decals of the era when applying [...]
