Feb 27th 2021.... I have this kit...
NICE JOB... bought this kit at a toy fair , 5.00 US dollars... you really dressed it up...
Chris from Ohio
Thanks Chris. I really enjoyed building this one and have a couple more from the old Matchbox range in my stash for when I want a change of pace. You should build yours when you get a chance. Its a lot of fun to go back to something so simple, but still really well engineered.
Wow, well done. I love matchboxkits too. I can learn a lot from your skills. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Plasikid, thanks for the feedback. :) I had a lot of fun building that kit and after seeing your channel, I think I will pick up that Firefly kit sometime too!
cool!!
The old diorama kits were my fav as a kid!
Same here. :) I had a lot of fun with this build and have my eye on ebay for another one to do! Dan
Great wee build 👍
Cheers mate. :)
Cracking build mate of a kit that has such great memories for me. Well done.
Thanks for the kind words Al. Love your Matchbox Monday's videos. Dan
Awesome little kit, really good work on the build👍
Thanks Paul and yes it is an awesome little kit and a lot of fun to build. :)
Looks great, nice detailed vid.
Very nice build mate, really liked the dio base, it adds so much to the finished model.
Great Details..... looks great..see you in the web
Nice model
Thanks
Wow great work the kit and base came out awesome and very realistic.
Thanks. :) Dan
Muy buena revisión!!
Cheers Sergio. Glad you enjoyed it. :)
Very impressive work... with lots of attention to details... an excellent hobby ! (I like it at #28)
The track was a one peice rubber moulding on the original. No metal on the track
G'day Chris. Good to know. I've got a 1:35 half track in the stash, so knowing that will come in handy.
@@DansModelBench g'day mate. 'the 12 inch tracks were heavy cleated continuous rubber bands, not steel links like those of tanks' Gordon L Rottman Osprey's 'world war two us armoured infantry tactics' p 27 which has some interesting material and photos on the M2 and M3 halftrack cars, though not much on the many gun armed variants of these, apart from the infantry mortar carrier version
Exactly the same set up on present day 360 mini diggers.. good for reference. 👍
Very nice build mate, really liked the dio base, it adds so much to the finished model.
I like 1/35 Models better. This 1/70's are too small for me. Good work tho.
Thanks Refeal. They can be a bit fiddly, but I really enjoy the old Matchbox kits. That said I’ve got a 1/35 half track in the stash waiting to be built too. :)

Awesome paint job and weathering,:-)
What camera are you using i see you can zoom a lot, and still clean picture,(when you show decal).
Thanks Kim for the kind words. The main camera I use is nothing really fancy. It is a Sony HD spec video camera HDR-XR260VE.

It was designed for videoing the kids birthday parties, that kind of thing. I picked it up for around $400 Australian when it was new, but they are cheap as chips now second hand. I know they made a similar model for other markets, so there is bound to be a similar model where you live.
The one thing I think really helps the camera though is the lighting. I have the room lighting in my workshop, but I also used LED lights directly over my spray booth and workbench. If you watch the spray booth upgrade video I did, you will see the light I used. It looks like a fluro but is LED. I think they really help the camera sensor to work at its best.

very good job, I loved the finishing of the land. Regards my friend
Cheers
Beautiful work on such a small kit. Very very impressive!
Thanks, now you are making me blush! lol :)
Dan's Van Diemens Land Model Bench lol I couldn't do those kits my eyes would hurt to bad :)
Very nice mate, the dio base really finishes the model off.
Thanks. I was happy with it in the end and it was a great fun build to do.Dan

G'day Michael. Yes I was really pleased with how it came out. They were a great idea for the kits back when I was a kid and still fun to do now. Dan
Where did you get that catalogue? Can it be ordered via internet.
G'day Ivan, Yes you can get it on the internet. Its a book on the history of the Matchbox plastic kits, called "1973-2010 The Story of Matchbox Kits" by Jean-Christophe Carbonel. I purchased mine online from the book repository, but unfortunately they no longer have it in stock. Still you can get all the details of the book from the link below and maybe source it from somewhere else. Be warned it is quite expensive, but is an enjoyable read if you liked those kits and the artwork used back in the day, which is very nicely reproduced in the book:
