this here is the Matchbox kit in 1/72. A club buddy had this on the cheap, and I figured it would be a fun little build. Handpainted, with decals out of the spares bag

Of course, I cant let things be, so I scratched a bit of detail. Other than the seats, everything else was added.

and after a bit of a funk, got her all finished up!

Very nice Owl - it looks great! Nice finish!

I love the idea of the replacement wing - that works well. What colour did you use for the cowling rings?

Gold, mixed with dark brown. I dont have a bronze color, so I had to improvise :giggles:
