That is brilliant work, Marius! I thought you might use the last image for a cover test. I like the composition of the air engagement. You create the feeling of classic cover art. Really once the canopy is done this will be a great What-If. I would print this, seriously.

Thanks Bruce. Would be great to see Matchbox back. Let's think what if they release movie and tv-kits? Starting with that MiG, the Riptide S-58T, a CTU helicopter, a Buchon...

Indeed. I also appreciate that you added “Next Generation” as a sub heading. This feels totally appropriate. I think we have the responsibility to make upcoming generations excited about the experience of building a kit and that STARTS with great cover art.

Wow, I finally got caught up with this. Stunning work Bollekin! That came out far better than I expected! Way to go! brilliant work on the boxart too!
BTW, I have that Dassault Mirage from Matchbox in my stash. I was going to start it soon for the "Out of Africa" Campaign on Modeler's Alliance.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Re: Bolleken's 1:72 stuff
According to your answers you seem to like it. Model and box.
The Mirage by MB will also be one of my next projects, Duke. A Mirage is always cool. I will so the South African decal option.
Yesterday I finished the pencil work after adding panellines. This morning I couldn't wait. So I took a picture outside. For me she looks good now.
Probably we will see a finish tonight!
