Matchbox kit build

[peterairfix]

As there seems to be a lack of group builds for the last half of the year.
Would anyone be interested in a matchox kit build.
Any scale or type including any of the revel reboxings from the end of April to the end of the year.

Peter,
I've a few Matchbox kits in the stash, I'm sure I'll be able to knock one together - count me in

I will have a look to see what I’ve got Peter.

It's so tempting I have to refrain and concentrate with current builds although I have a 1/72 Bofors and Morris, Siskin, Lancaster and Halifax plus a 1/700 Duke of York in the stash.

Cheers,
Richard

Mmmm interesting . I just might have something stashed away pete !

Could do … I have a bunch of old Matchbox kits and Revell re-issues. Should make another nice, quick diversion from the heavy lifting of building Sherman Crabs as well as that I intend to do for a group build on another forum soon

I have to refrain

Don't need to hurry you have until the end of the year.

Bugger. I've built all the ones I had in my stash.

Edited to add: actually I've still got the Leyland Retriever from the Monty's Caravan set, and I'm sure I saw a Panther last time I was up in the attic. God knows if it's a complete kit though.

I don't think I have any Matchbox

Revell took a lot of the old matchbox moulds and reboxed them it's worth taking a look at scalemates

I have a Revell 1/48 Skyraider AD-5, which I think was originally a Matchbox kit, back in about 1980!
Should be fun, so I'm in.

This one?



According to Scalemates, it’s indeed a Matchbox rebox. Unlike this one:



… which is a Monogram kit. Handy, not confusing at all

 

[peterairfix]

How many do we need to kick this one off and thanks to everyone who has signed up.

 

[yak face]

So far I make it eight pete , the usual target is ten so maybe a few more takers ?

 

[stillp]

The top one Jakko. I've checked Scalemates for all my Revell kits.

[peterairfix]

Bump for two more takers.

 

[Fernando N]

Count me in Peter, have a couple of the reboxed ones and an original one I was planning anyway.

 

[peterairfix]

Count me in Peter,

Thanks and welcome just another bump for the final taker.
