Main parts assembled and first coat of light blue has been brushed on... Yes ,,, now I know it'd be RLM76 , and not RLM65 ,,, But to keep true to retro-modelling I've painted it as per Matchbox instructions.

Album info

As I usually do with my retro-modelling projects, this kit will be built with the skills I had at that time. That is ... no putty , no wet sanding and brush painted. Just fun !!!!
Let's hope I can complete it by the end of the year.
