1/72 Matchbox Supermarine Stranraer

Really impressed with the fit of this kit!For the pre cad era it approaches contemporary Tamiya engineering.

This is going to end up being a really neat looking build. It’s not an aircraft that I’m familiar with, so looking forward to see how it comes out.

Me too!

I temporarily put the center wing section to align the struts while the glue sets I will then remove the center section and paint the upper wings separately.

Matchbox … man, that takes me back.

Back to the eighties.

Very happy to see somebody doing this kit. Anybody ever do the HP Heyford that came out about the same time?

Yes I did. Odd aircraft.

Interesting looking plane. I love seaplanes, and would love to find that kit at a flea market.

Wow, that thing looks like a Super Walrus!

Basic kit with almost no interior detail but still looks good!

The bottom looks pretty good considering I didn’t mask it just kept the airbrush steady . .
