Имя:: SCM Groupbuild - Matchbox Nostalgia
About:: Guidelines:

Build a Matchbox kit. Original or Revell rebox is ok. But it's more fun with those multi coloured sprues in the original boxings.

Not allowed: Non original kits in Matchbox livery. Revell made some misshandling of the brand durin' their ten year ownership of Matchbox by putting really old Revell, Frog and Otaki kits in Matchbox boxes.

Scratchbuilding, after market goodies is allowed as well as building the kits OOtB, even building the kits according to the old Matchbox slogan "No Painting Necessary" is ok if one feels that's the way to go.

If there's any questions on the origin of a kit it's easy to check it up over at this page. matchboxkits.org/

Most important is to have fun in the process.

A little Matchbox history (in German) plastik-modellbau.or..lbaus-matchbox/2012/

If you've trouble sourcing a Matchbox kit check at E-Bay or for example these two companies specialised at selling second hand kits.
kitsforcash.com/
kingkit.co.uk/

Let us build as many Matchbox kits as possible in the space of two months.

Have fun!

These kits are some of the oldest surviving ones I have. They were great for honing modeling skill. They are lacking in so many ways, especially by today's standards, that one feels no pressure to bring it up to "contest standards" or worry about "advanced modeler's syndrome". Just fun hobby time as it should be! I'm glad to have found this site while this is going on. I love looking at all of these classic kits!

I have a B-17 conversion in the works using the M-box G. It is my favorite Fortress kit. Mine will be a block 15 Vega F series, TINKER TOY of the 381BG. It was among the last half dozen original combat complement to survive into December 1943.

If you scroll through My Albums you will find many Matchbox build and in process project. Included are major reconstructions (XF14C-2); major conversions (XC-87B); moderate conversions (P-40L & M); minor conversion and corrections (Beaufighters); and OOB.

I am going to build the Airfix Helldiver for a group build on the ATF forum. Would be interesting to compare the kits.....

18 November 2013, 23:49

Bruce Leyland-Jones Автор
Aaaah...the Airfix Helldiver is a different sort of Helldiver from the one I'm going to be building, which is the biplane Helldiver.
I've already built the Matchbox version of the Airfix kit;

Just got done reading some fairly disparaging remarks about this kit on some other forums ( worst kit ever, blah blah, yadda yadda ). That just makes me more determined. I love a challenge.

Nice to have choices! I keep hoping Revell will re-release the Twin Otter. They go for stupid money on e-bay...

No, January 1st to February 28th will give plenty of time to finish at least one Matchbox kit...

Mitchell Hart-Lincoln Автор
Yup, it will 🙂 I've still got other stalled kits to be getting on with! Waiting to get my hand on the new Airfix "EE Frightning" though and I've got the Airfix Javelin on my Santa list and I've been exceptionally good this year 😉

You have a Matchbox Canberra in your stash. I've built it long ago, quite simple, should be a quick affair - if you can resist 'improving' the very basic detail 🙂
