Matchbox Skyknight OOB review - a Classic Kit!

[Faust]

If it’s one thing I love, it’s a two seater, especially if it’s an awkwardly-styled side-by-side two seater! If it just happens to be a Matchbox too, then I’m probably going to get really excited about it! That’s exactly what happened when I came across the old Matchbox F3D Skyknight in a shop a while ago!

I know there’s a newer Sword kit of the venerable F3D, but really, you have to give Matchbox credit for bothering to kit the rather pedestrian Skyknight in the first place. I don’t know how popular a kit it was, but it’s a nice one to have if you like early night fighters or Korean War stuff.

I thought I’d share this one as an out of box review, so please, take a look at the old chestnut at the link below!

Then you might enjoy this sneak preview from my workbench....

Nice preview/review of the F3D. I have one of these in the build pile, and really need to get it together for my KW collection. I just need to decide if I'm gonna do it in Glossy Sea Blue, or the rare-ish Flat Black....

I'm going to do mine in the black, I think.

I love that Skyraider! is that the Matchbox 1/48? I have that one in my stash, if it is!

Great tatstes in kits, my friend!
