Coastal Command Halifax is very nice. Long time ago I so desired one from Matchbox. It was big,white,with supreme box art and insanely expensive way back in mid 80s communist Poland.I can make one now

Thanks Jaromir.

Fortunately for us here in Australia they weren't too expensive. I built the Coastal Command version but as we can now probably buy all of Bruno's versions plus all of Jaromir's for the price of one Matchbox kit I wouldn't even consider going back to plastic for any reason.
