NO PHOTOS for Christ sake!!!!! :shock:

I don't want to be paying for everyone's medical expenses after they gouge their own eyes out, (and then there is the on-going trauma counselling and therapy)

OK....so belated bench check.
This is what I have on the go at the minute:

As can be seen, she is a little, old Matchbox 1:72 Strikemaster refurb from my childhood. She is planned to be a cool little black/yellow civvie jet, (no surprises there I guess.....@ Paul, military jets look sooooooo much better in cool civvy schemes

). As usual with my refurbs, I have spent much more on this refurb with after-market parts etc, than what I would have if I had just bought a new kit.....but that's not the point. The challenge and satisfaction I get from bringing an old kit back from the "dead" is worth far more to me than the money I spend on achieving this.

PS: does anyone have a spare set of 1:72 Strikemaster jugs.....the Matchbox kit never came with them, and I can't find any aftermarket examples
