Lovely job on that one mate😃

I love these old Matchbox kits and their positionable transparent stands. I built many of them in the 70's. Although the kits don't have too much details, all parts fit quite well and it is easy to build a beautiful model. With a few aftermarket parts and a little bit of scratchbuilding, they still make great looking models. Thanks for posting the video.

Instant memories came back from a time when I built this same kit in the late 70's although I do not remember that brilliant red fuselage. I do remember that trying to paint the cockpit frame was a real pain. You did a very nice build, congratulations and thanks for sharing the video

Great to see this model. It was the first kit I bought from Woolworths when I was about 9 years old.

Great little historic kit. Very nice mate!

Cracking job, wish i had your patience with decals, they're a nightmare for me.

Happy Christmas Creative Time wasting lovely Boomerang 🎄🎁

You are making me nervous with that sharp knife on those decals

It’s no surprise that a certain symbol was removed since the kit was distributed by Revell Germany, and that symbol is illegal in that country.

When I started building Airfix kits in the early 60s this is exactly how they came packed and the series 1 kits cost 1/-

Great job on this.. had one beat up from dad's collection from the 70s. I've a matchbox Lysander in the stash too so be great to see your build 😁👍 painting an Airfix 88 and tractor over Xmas. Best wishes

Great job on that one! Believe I had my eye on that exact same kit at Telford, instead I came away with a Heller Morane-Saulnier M.S.406. Terrible decision! I've built the Airfix Boomerang and enjoyed it, the Heller M.S.406 is much less enjoyable.

Thanks for sharing very nicely done ! Happy Christmas to you and your family " Canada"

Being an Aussie, I loved this build. It looks to be a great little simple but well detailed kit, thanks again for doing this build up, it really turned out well despite the old decals. Always nostalgically entertaining.

Stunning 👍👍

The RAAF Boomerang is a pugnacious stubby aeroplane serving with great success as a target spotter for RNZAF Corsairs and RAAF Kittyhawks as well. Great build from an original Airfix bagged kit!

"relaxed flying position" Being Australian, he probably had a stubby holder mounted in the cockpit & half a dozen travellers stashed under the seat. 👍

Thank you for building my favourate plane, i have built many of these Boomerang kits, but i still love watching others built the kit with comments, fantastic job. thank you for sharing.

Always an immense pleasure to watch you transform old kits from sow's ears to silk purses. You have a natural touch and an eye for weathering and that ability makes a real difference. Keep up the good work. 👍

Excellent build there's a lot to learn off old kits

The work you pull off with these 72nd aircraft make me wonder what you could do with the ancient 1/600 scale ships they did!

Excellent work with that classic, it's a shame about the problems that old decals always cause.

A super build of a super kit, who doesn't like these Matchbox kits? I'm glad that I have one in my stash, I wouldn't pay the current ebay prices, cheers.

I found one of these in my son-in-laws pile of belongings after he left home. An oldie but a goodie, so much so I bought the re-release from Airfix and Looking forward to building it. I scratch cobbled together an instrument panel for the old one but I have a bought panel for the new one. Really nice finish on your Boomer, great stuff.

Excelente 👌 👌 👌

Great little model that can be elevated to competition standard too

Get yourself a circle cutter. Use it on wide masking tape and just airbrush roundels.

Built one of these recently. Newer box but same mould, I think. Maybe not the most detailed kit but very enjoyable to build.

Love to have a tour of your workbench and working area.

Just wondering, why don't you prepaint details like cockpit interior, wheels/tires, struts and engine before assembly and overall painting? 🤔 On an old kit like this, I use a decal liquid to make sure they don't crack. Testors makes a decal spray and Microscale makes a brush-on decal liquid. A clear acrylic could work too.

Lovely build. If you want to see a great video of two restored Boomerangs and the characteristic howl they make when diving, this is my favourite video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5zHln93g9uVhtksi=HKHYCXg6eAEhjnur

Nice Old Kit well Done Very Nice❤

Love these builds. It's great to see such old kits get this amount of TLC. Also, as someone who commutes through country lanes to work I can fully relate to the "I'm not washing my car at this time of year" sentiment 😂

Very nice built! Please build more of these old kits; bring back many memories of building these kits.👍👍👍

Great job and a real blast from the past for me. Thanks for putting the time and effort into producing a very good looking model.

Nice build mate. I like the finish you achieved. Do you recall what colour/paint you used for the dry brushing? I used SMS Deep Bronze Green for the main colour and I'm looking for an appropriate acrylic for the dry brushing. Cheers mate and keep pushing out the quality content.

I watch all of these videos for pure nostalgia, I built a lot of these old Matchbox kits, but not all of them, so I'm really enjoying watching you build the ones I didn't!! Thank you sir, great videos.

Lovely work. New life to old kits. Nostalgia. Bill

Working your modeler's magic on these old kits. She looks weather worn and ready to fight. Bill

Giving these vintage kits new life and pride of place. Wonderful work. Bill

Thanks for giving these old dog kits some TLC. Superb result. Bill

The good old days. I made this kit in the 80ties. 👍

Brilliant! Well done that man.

Nice showcase of off brand model makers. I like UM kits. They do take extra work, but worth it in the end. Keep having fun. Bill

Love the old Matchbox kits. Awesome work around the Stuart with missing parts. Superb model making. Bill

I seem to remember building the 70s version when I was a kid.

Awesome work with those classics.

Nice.

Super job very impressive build. Thanks for sharing.

Outstanding build 👍
