Matchbox 18E Field Car Diecast Restoration

In this video I'm restoring two Matchbox Field Cars (n° 18E). The regular wheels model with the tires and the push down steering was produced in 1969. The SuperFast model was produced from 1970 up to 1974.
I decided to restore the regular wheels version as much as I can to its former glory, keeping the SuperFast for a custom metallic paint job with black interior and canopy.

I apologize for the poor audio mix in this video. The music is rather loud, drowning out my voice at times. This has been fixed in subsequent video's.

Nice job on both of them! I have some of those on my to-do list also!
I use a hot air rework tool on a low heat and keeping the tip moving and it does a great job of removing the white stress lines in plastic.

[@BelgianDiecastRestorations]

Thanks! That is indeed a good tip.

Matchbox 18E. Field. Car. Diecast. Restoration okay

[@aldinelt7214]

I enjoyed watching the restoration. Well done. However, your music was way too loud which overpowered your voice making it difficult to hear what you were saying. Also, did not enjoy the music at all.

[@BelgianDiecastRestorations]

Thanks! I changed the title music in later video's and also turned down the background music. Music, of course, is a question of personal taste. 🙂
