it reminds me of an international scout 800, and this little guy turned out good in the yellow.
Superb. I can see this in a toy store as a child and begging my parents for it. Beautiful.
It's nice to see these old classics looking as good as new if not better with those little extra touches.
Your little minor touches make me want to take paint to all of my HotWheels/Matchbox cars. They really make them look SO much better.
Your restaurations are awsome, another brilliant rescue. Nice model, despite the yellow colour. 👍
You are the reason i started my own restoration hobby
I had this one as a kid. As the previous guy stated, it reminds me of an International Scout as well. In fact thats why I got it when I was a kid. There was a Scout Commercial narrated by Tom Bosley that was always on tv at the time, and when I saw that car in K&B I had to have it. Seeing these little cars magnified on the tv screen adds a whole new dimension in which to admire them. To me, it’s even more fun than holding the real toy, because I can see every tiny detail.
You must have found one of the only models in existence without a bent roof!
EXCELLENT again, we had this type of lorry (truck) in our motor pool, made by International harvester in the army.
the result looks way better than i expected
As always Rob. Super job! That yellow really pops.
Nice little model, no primer though on a yellow color, no wonder it took three coats. One little thing, the spare could have been done with a touch of red on the rim to better match. Just one mans thought. Thanks for sharing this video with me and please keep them coming in.
Nice job...........I like the idea of the cocktail stick.......I'll give it a go.
Looks great, I never would have thought about using a toothpick for those fine details. After watching about 90% of your videos I’m going to try one of my own soon and will definitely be using that method!
Good luck mate 👍🏼
Excellent restoration Field car 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I like the idea of using a cocktail stick for painting in fine detail. I get the feeling (in my own case at least) it'd be easier to control than a brush.
Excellent result as always!
Rob that turned out awesome great work it's as good as new if not better with the little details great work
I see I'm not the only one who thinks this is a Scout 800. It looks so much like the one a friend of mine had for a plow truck. The grille looks to be something matchbox did to due to licensing issues with International. Looks great all cleaned up and painted.
you do a great paint job the field car looks great il send you some more pics of my restos
I see the 50/50 paint thinning ratio has worked very well. Great to see. Provides a much more 'scale' finish.
I always use 50/50 with Enamel paint 😎
That's a lovely job. Like th way you did the detailing,very clever!
Turned out quite spiffy! The field car has had a bit of a touch up for its age.
Another car from my childhood, glad you kept it original
That's one of the nicest little resto's Iv'e seen you do . tip. paint the spare wheel rim to match the others, perfect!
I considered it
I noticed you did not prime this model, which made the restoration look much more original. Well done.
Awesome mate! Elegant in its simplicity - looks outstanding
Excellent restoration and video as always well done
Missed this video when it first came out!
Love this car when I was a kid
Awesome job. Love the extra details.
Lovely restoration
Wow, super clean resto, it looks great!
Great job on the restoration
Very smart ,nice clean build.
Fantastic transformation Thanks
Nice job, keep up the good work. This truck looks like a International truck.
Nice job!
I had one with a Matchbox Country Playset, unfortunately after myself, my daughter, and quite a few other kids have played with it the tow is missing. My grandchildren have no way to pull the Horse Trailer.
Really like how that came out
Nice and clean restore Rob, looks great!....Bill
Very clean job, really love it......👍
Looks sooo good. Yeah, that one’s a keeper!
Fantastic result as always!
Luv your work! I have both ‘69 yellow and army green versions to now resto, following your tutorial;)
Nice work! I have a different version of this, the only difference is that mine doesn;t not have working steering, it's just a standard superfast base. I think it's superfast anyway. The new paint job on yours really brings out the detail Matchbox put into the casting with door handles, rear number plate, petrol caps. Nice casting.
Looks awesome as usual! Reminds me of one that I used to play with as a kid.
Beautiful job, Rob!!! It looks brand new!! Love your detail work!!
Minor touches it's like day and night compared to what it was 50 years ago I happen to have an original you've always don't extremely well well done my friend what can I say
Thanks Tony 😎
I sure do like this model.
Yeah agree with previous comment. 'Harvester International' built a lot of no nonsense, tough go anywhere type vehicles. Not sure if it was a brand known in the UK, but was popular in SA with farmers, game rangers etc? Excellent resto👍🙂
Nice Job, Rob!!! 👍
Excellent job, looks great!!!!
Excelente...congratulations...my friend!!!!
Awesome
Great car except for those red wheels. It came with Superfast wheels after 1968 and it looked much better! Love the yellow paint restored as done by Matchbox
but would have painted the plastic rims black. Probably would have made a windscreen for it too, but that is just me going one step further.👍🏻👍🏻🍻
Awesome Resto!!! Great job as always!!
Great job ~ as always!!
I like that model, I will have to find one to add to my collection.
One of your nicer ones... Good job
It’s just like an International Scout!
Superb result!
Wow! Great job, Rob!!
Very nice Rob 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Stunning Rob. Thank you
That's a awesome restoration wow love it
Excellent restoration A+++++

Love the color.
MAJOR defference. Good work :)
Not got one of these ones yet. Love it.
Nice restoration!
Looks better than the original release
Great job as always. Looks beautifull!
100% better than it left the factory.
Beautiful job, mate!
Excellent Restoration, the added detail does so much for the looks of the vehicle. Thanks for sharing
Turned out beautiful
Funny looking model, I like it!
it looks great. i would paint the spare tire rim red to match the wheels
I was thinking of doing that
Honestly looks amazing
What a nice job done on this, looks so original and tidy,nice video.
Lovely result!
Cheers
nice build
Great job on this one Rob, the paint came out smooth as glass! This was in prime condition for a resto, most of these you see have a damaged or missing top as well as missing tyres.
Beautiful job !
I like the detail
Another awesome job! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great job friend! Keep up the great work
Very shiny!
Well done
another great resto-mod looks good
Great work as always sir. 🍺
I really like that one! Great job!
Excellent job!
Looking good
Super clean restoration. Lovely paint and detail work. Very nice.
Super
Pretty dang Nice. (English for Nizza.)
Nice work. Love how simple you’ve kept it.
Very good restoration! Looks like a fun time fixing this up.🤠
Nicely done Rob. I had this car when I was small but it lost the plastic roof along the way.
Looks great Rob
I've always liked this casting, and your "restoration plus" was perfect for it!
Great job. Just the proper amount of personal touches
