These Matchbox kits were always phenomenal value. The idea of a kit including diorama base and figures for no extra cost (as they originally were) is so good. Good kits too. Well done Revell for continuing the whole package.
When I were a lad my 50p pocket money covered one Matchbox kit with 15p change for sweets, so I have very fond memories of this kit. Nice build, well constructed , painted and weathered. I usually use Seraphim Sepia for the wash, but the Nuln Oil looks really good, I might switch. The tracks always have loads of mould release agent so need very thorough cleaning after which they can be superglued. I like to glue to the toothed sprocket first and then glue to the top of the wheels/track guides adding a bit of track sag (might need to make sprue spacers to temporarily force the tracks to sag until the glue has set. The Matchbox or Revell rebox tracks can be gently stretched if they are too tight, or a very quick dip in boiling water will shrink them, but take care and go slowly, they can shrink so tight that they'll snap the wheels off! (I know from personal experience). Oddly Airfix 'rubber band' tracks don't shrink in boiling water. Also keep the boiling water away from your paint job, it might not damage it, but why risk it! With a bit of practice (and maybe some strategically placed weathering) those old rubber bands can actually look pretty decent. :)
@@ModelMinutes keep an eye out for the long range dessert group truck and jeep, its a fantastic kit very detailed for an early 80s kit well worth getting. I think Reveli 're issued it some years ago
Yes, those rubber tracks are an eyesore, i try to fit fenders and skirts in an effort to cover them where possible. Regardless, those Matchbox kits are brilliant considering the age of them. Found the Jagdpanther is a lovely kit. Well done on your build.
This range from Revell is what got me into the hobby initially when I was a kid. Dad helped build and paint - he had more fun than I did I reckon :D There is a full range of other 76 scale tanks with bases and often figures. As you point out, the figures and base really help bring these little models to life. May have to buy some of these for some nostalgia builds!
Awesome build. I usually build in the 72-76 range and I've built that one myself, though not as well as you, good sir I love most of the matchbox armor sets, with the Wespe being my favorite. Sadly, I've never built either three Firefly not the Cromwell, but I have faith I'll find them both. They are on my wishlist so.......... Anyway, I love what you've done with the Panzer II and the set as a whole. Thank you for sharing your love of the hobby With us all
Idea for a painting / spray station. A cheap / second hand PC case with a clear side Pair of gloves Get rid of the guts of the case - drive shelves etc. to leave an empty box. Cut two circular holes in side, stick cuffs of gloves to circumference of holes. Voila. You can then put the model and spray can inside the case, close the lid, put your hands in the gloves and spray with your lungs intact :) BTW you're better at dioramas than you think!
Hi again, Matt! 😀 As always, great tips and a very nice build 👍👍👍. For things like those tiny wheels, I put some masking tape sticky-side up under the sprue and then cut them off.
Great video and build. I am building this one now and followed the tips and advice on your video. Thanks!, has really helped me to enjoy making this kit.
Great video. Your paint job was excelent. I recently got this kit from Amazon for about 6 or 7 quid and am looking forward to building and painting it soon. I was quite surprised at how small this tank is in comparison to the figures.
Now I want one. Love 1/72. 1/76 scale, adding detail to the kit. Have old matchbox t34. Quad 50 half track. German half track. And the m24 Chaffee. Have some airfix kits. You can always do some modifications detail detail and more detail
Great video. I'm impressed that the kit comes with a diorama base. It really adds value and makes me want to get this kit. Great build even with the sprocket issue. I think we've all been there before, even if we won't admit it.
Just love that diorama you can invision it right in front of you like you was the especially how you can see the chap with the prime grenade North Africa was my favourite Theatre of War so I'd say this is one really cool little diorama
Halfway through this film so far. Great job on the figures, especially the webbing. What size brush is the one you use on the wall building diorama? Oh, and is this the old Matchbox rebranding by Revell? Nice job so far.
Enjoyed watching you build this, excellent job mate. Oh how I remember those Matchbox Tanks with a built in Dio, They would be far too small for me now . You will have to get the Sherman Firefly that was on a broken bridge, Remember making that one
Ha! I knew it was an old matchbox kit from the diorama base. I think it was a nice inclusion. Fun fact: the 'wespe' also used the hull of the panzer 2. Great video as always!
Good job on the project. Matchbox armor kits were fantastic in their time. Figures and a diorama base were great additions. Next time you do a desert vehicle....try dusting it with pastels to give it that sand blown appearance. Bill
Great model and build review Matt! I have always liked the Matchbox series of armor kits and the Panzer II was one of their best kits. Another very good one is the Wespe 10.5cm S.P.G and is issued by Revell of Germany although I am not certain of its availability. If you find anymore reissues of Matchbox kits they are worth your time building them. Thanks for sharing this.
I liked the addition of the Arabic music in the opening scene. I also thought that the tank looked larger than it is, until the scene where you are working on the model. That means you did a great job, since it could be mistaken for a larger scale. Adding the debris really made the overall diorama look good. 👍
Citadel actually has a contrast paint where you just have to have a white layer as a base and then you paint the contrast paint on and then there is no wash needed as the paint works as one itself. however this mostly helps when the model is primed white tho
"...I dampened my finger with water..." You licked your finger, didn't you. We all know you did... ;) I think that for a braille scale, you've done a great job on this. Shame that the kit lets you put the idler and sprocket in the wrong places though. Good vid, thanks for sharing.
Nice build! I'd like to see other Matchbox-Revell kits from you(mainly Jagdpanther and M40 which I have). Is paint stick good on the tracks? Which is better? Paint them or not? 😀Sorry my English not perfect but I hope you understand it. Happy modelling!:)
It's best to always paint rubber/PVC tracks on both sides, as they have a tendency to melt themselves into the styrene running gear. It's a normal, but annoying chemical reaction.
Painting mine now, thanks v much for the video, without it I wouldn't have known about the dio it includes. Anyone know any other kits around this scale with a dio included?
I think most of the Revell kits in this scale include the diorama - they will be the ex-matchbox ones. scalemates.com might be able to help you - it gives the history of the kits if you search them on there
You'll love my Dapol Coach build i've got coming in a couple of weeks - the instructions in that would cause you to build the model wrong if you followed them
The annoying thing with these kits from Revell, is that they were originally Matchbox kits, which were originally designed for younger modellers, and, as such, came with very carefully designed, 'idiot proof' pictorial instruction booklets, with easy to undestand symbols, etc. Revell ditched all that, and used their own. Unless there are particularly fiddly parts, I don't bother with the Revell instructions on their ex-Matchbox range. - I made the originals in the 1970's and 80's, and kept a lot of the original paperwork. Oh, and it's always a good idea to paint PVC tracks completely, with acrylic paint, before fitting; the PVC can sometimes react with styrene, and either dissolve it, or undergo a chemical change, and become friable and crumbly, so, instead of tracks, you have dust.
This just an old reboxed Matchbox kit from the 70's. It was great kit then as Matchbox did models that were not generally available. But I cannot see any difference in the mouldings to bring up to a more modern standard. Still it is a nice kit.
Depending on what the paint is, I add the appriate thinner to the paint in a seperate dish or pot until I get the thickness/consistency I'm looking for Edit: 08:20 onwards you can see me thinning the paint for this project...
Do you also use water to thin paints? Also thank you for replying so quickly! Im a hige fan of your channel ever since i started plane and tank modelling!@@ModelMinutes
“This kit does not have the provision to position the hatch in an ‘open’ position...” Not true. I was able to position the hatch open by careful balancing whilst glueing it to the wall provided by the upper cupola half. I even managed to fit a (modified) PSC commander figure into the open hole!
In some kits you get the choice of open or closed hatches included. What you are describing here is a personal modification to the kit which is not mentioned in the instructions. I still stand by my original statement
@@ModelMinutes Just because the instructions do not mention such a method does not mean the kit lacks the provision for it. That would be like saying that the Airfix WW1 'Female' tank kit lacks the provision to build the option of two complete 'Male' sponsons because it doesn't mention them in the instructions, even though there are enough parts available to do so. I positioned the hatch without any need for further scratchbuilding or major modifications beyond the ability of even the very beginner. I still stand by my counterpoint.
I am never sure what shade to use for "flesh" for the DAK / 8th Army. I don't think soldiers stayed "pink" for long. Maybe a "light oak"? Or something further on the spectrum towards mahogany??
If I had an airbrush I probably would use one - but with the learning curve I wouldn't say that it is "easier" - with my brush painting skills being more used that would be easier for me at the moment
If you had 1/72 figures with a 1/76 vehicle, they would look a scale 8 feet tall. I seen a picture of a build that had a 1/76 tank with 1/72 tank riders, and it just didn't look too good.
Thought re instructions.. maybe advise people to cross out options / parts they don't intend using? That way when it comes to fitting them together nobody accidentally uses the wrong part(s). Only including a closed option for the turret also avoided the bullet (pun intended) of having to mould an interior. Given the age of the kit that would be unlikely. Re tank tracks.. it could be worse.. individual links at 1:72 scale.. plank on frame with a vengeance *lol*
I despise revell glue! It always clogs the Needle and when i remove the needle, either nothing comes out or the entire content of the bottle. Tamyia super thin masterrace!
a sewing pin down the end of it, replaced immediately after use - use this method to get halfway through the bottle before its stuffed. good glue, but too thick/air-reactive for the needle applicator
@@ModelMinutes and can you make a video where you make a small versiong of tree , i want to put some small tree on that panzer diorama , i have the same model .
Ha ha ha. We still forget to follow the instructions, don't we? Like having to cut the arms off a pilot to get him to fit, because he wasn't put in first. Just a friendly jibe.
I really love these reboxed 1/76 kits and I've built 7 of them now. The fact they come with their own diorama base gives me more fun as it becomes its own story once built. I am trying to get the 1/76 Morris C8 17PDR Willys Jeep but the postage some people are charging is ridiculous lol. Look forward to the next build!
These Matchbox kits were always phenomenal value. The idea of a kit including diorama base and figures for no extra cost (as they originally were) is so good. Good kits too. Well done Revell for continuing the whole package.
yes, i think more kits should come with diorama sets

I've built the whole range of these little models with dioramas and I loved 👍
yeah, I enjoyed the ones I had a chance to build
This brought back good memories... tq
:D
Had this kit when it was matchbox, in the 80s it was a two tone kit and "didn't need painting", but it did, loved these kits and made them all
i'd certainly like to get a few more of these

They are still pretty decent by todays standards 😊

Good to see a classic Matchbox kit getting some love. Great work, it came out a treat.
Thanks 👍
I remember the old matchbox kits well, excellent play/display value for the money with the diorama base and figures, great video thanks 👍

It's best to always paint rubber/PVC tracks on both sides, as they have a tendency to melt themselves into the styrene running gear. It's a normal, but annoying chemical reaction.

Re tank tracks.. it could be worse.. individual links at 1:72 scale.. plank on frame with a vengeance *lol*
Yeah, i do find that i scribble on my instructions, highlight and make notes to remind myself of things im doing
why don't you put some glue on a piece of aluminum foil, so you can apply the glue with a cocktail stick? you can be much more precise that way.
Because I had neither cocktail sticks or tin foil available at the time I built this
I despise revell glue! It always clogs the Needle and when i remove the needle, either nothing comes out or the entire content of the bottle.
Tamyia super thin masterrace!
It does have a habit of clogging, I find that you have to replace the lid asap after each use
a sewing pin down the end of it, replaced immediately after use - use this method to get halfway through the bottle before its stuffed. good glue, but too thick/air-reactive for the needle applicator
So why you didn't put matte varnish on the finish ? , too gloosy look at the end
I like the way it looks
what are the completed dimensions of both the tank and base?
Had to get my ruler out to do this one, so all measurements are approximate:
Tank= L65mm x W30mm x H29mm

@@ModelMinutes when i paint the band tracks the paint on some sides just fell of . Like some death skin .
@@ModelMinutes and can you make a video where you make a small versiong of tree , i want to put some small tree on that panzer diorama , i have the same model .
@@perex0 that happens with rubber band tracks, try mixing some pva glue into your paint
@@ModelMinutes thx
Ha ha ha. We still forget to follow the instructions, don't we? Like having to cut the arms off a pilot to get him to fit, because he wasn't put in first. Just a friendly jibe.
lol
Whole europe spilled too much blood of her sons in africa.
:(
Jeez u replayed to every comment
I do try
@@ModelMinutes btw i love the content
I really love these reboxed 1/76 kits and I've built 7 of them now. The fact they come with their own diorama base gives me more fun as it becomes its own story once built. I am trying to get the 1/76 Morris C8 17PDR Willys Jeep but the postage some people are charging is ridiculous lol. Look forward to the next build!
Yeah, I'd look to get some more of these too!
