What's not to love 'bout Matchbox?

Holger, I use Microscale's Micro Kristal Klear.

This is also my first atempt on rescribing n' there's a lot of errors. The kit is in a way more or less a test bed.

Love the old matchbox kits

I like 'em as well even if they're not that detailed but perfect for Mojo recharging!

Yikes! Humbrol Clear varnish - is that similar to Future (Kleer)? Or is it an enamel or lacquer? Cracking usually occurs when the base coat of paint is not yet fully cured. When you spray over the top with something that dries quickly, the bottom coat may expand or contract while it continues to cure, and the top coat cracks as a result. I find this happens more often with acrylics for some reason, Future included. How long between spraying the Gunze blue and the Humbrol Clear? Looks like you recovered well, but what a pain, eh?

I don't remember but I think it was at least a week between the Gunze n' the Clear.

Revell of Germany has released the Matchbox kit several times and it is widely available

Most of the classic Matchbox kits is rereleased by Revell of Germany so I'm not surprised. It's a good n' simple kit to build if you wan't a recreational build.
