    Used to look through these on the shelves of my local hobby stores to see if there were any new ones. The box art alone made these very exciting kits as a kid.

    Everyone saying the same thing , best rendition of these kits I have ever seen . Most high tier modelers would pass these over in search of a challenge , but I think the challenge was making such a basic model look so very very good .

    When I was a kid, my dad used to deliver to Matchbox (Peterborough iirc🤔), and the guys there would give me the odd freebie kit to go home with - I always liked that trip in the school hols. I'm afraid that I didn't do the kits much justice, I would now (of course), but I was only 6 years old or thereabouts 😀

Although ive never thought to build a 1/48 scale vehicles just Aircraft. That is a nice build. Love the truck.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️

    This is really cool, I thought at the start, 'uh, what's this?' but it ended up great. The old Matchbox kits were awesome in their day, they may've lacked some detail & not always been accurate but they went together really well & were an easy build, interesting subjects too.

    Hi. A very nice job indeed. I have made this kit but I put a Higgins boat on mine. I had to make the frame for the boat to sit on , that was a model in itself. I drilled out the tie down loops on my trailer and I did it in green overall. I have another one in my stash but for some reason the previous owner cut off the front of the Diamond T's chassis. So I have had to make a new chassis. I will do that one in a dessert scheme. Not sure what I will put on the back of it , maybe a Sherman M4 A2. Or a truck of some type . We,ll see. Good job well done my friend.

    One of the Matchbox car catalogues fro the 70s had a cross-promotion picture of the 1/76 AFVs, a Honey on the transporter, with the LRDG 'meeting' them on a road in the desert. I remember it well and it was about then I switched from die cast to making models. I built both these in the day, and the M19 more recently for a Britmodeller group build.
    I am surprised nobody makes aftermarket tracks for 1/72 models: there are thousands of older kits out there with tracks missing or useless. Yet there are 20 companies making Panther tracks in 1/35, even though most kit tracks are fine.

    Came across your channel today after looking up MB kits. Great work. I made a lot of these in the early 80s as they were just about pocket money prices. Should it go the other way round as the tracks in the sand don't follow under the front wheels? Maybe the pivot would allow the trailer to fit round that bend. If not, I guess you could melt some in with a hot screw driver.

    As a brutally inexperienced modeler who eschews anything resembling realism and authenticity to cover up my boundless laziness and lousy painting skills, I actually have a tip for better tarps (which I use a lot, a wonderful way to hide gross flaws and poor work on my models). Tea bags. Use them, dry them, empty the tea, unfold them and you have a thin, stronger than normal paper, easy to mold with water and PVA glue, easy to paint. I've found it behaves more like tarp than any other paper Ive tried, and I don't tear it apart with a wet brush. I'm also a cheap ass who doesn't like to throw things away. So theres that.

I could dry this up and use it in a terrain thinking, so I dried it and then I (cheap ass as Iam) looked at the bag itself and holy crap, this is thin and can take a lot of spoon abuse I wonder... and yes that bag is solid as fcuk. But the tea itself is useless. As far as I know. And that is ok because I dont drink much of it anyway. Dirt from the garden do a better job and is as free as used tea.

    Why couldn’t Matchbox just make their armor in 1/72 ?

    • @michaelpeters1644
      @michaelpeters1644 2 месяца назад

      It's probably because when Airfix first started to issue their armour models in the 1960s, they were in 1/76. Matchbox started around ten or so years later and, I assume, thought it would make their kits compatible in scale with Airfix. Now, armour kits tend to be moving towards 1/72, so the older kits don't necessarily sit well with them.
