Matchbox 1/72 Phantom F-4M/K Reveal

Post by Maverick231 »

Evening all!
So here is the final reveal to my first ever GB project here on ISM!
By far the most daring colour scheme I've ever finished on a model and it certainly won't be the last Raspberry Ripple bird I build, I already have decals for a Jaguar and the VAAC Harrier waiting in the stash!
I honestly didn't think I'd get this far but here she is:

Thank you both for the kind comments :).
I really enjoyed this one.
I really do love Matchbox kits, I know they have their issues but they have so much personality in terms of model kits you just can't help but love them!
