Found this kit in the local toy store.
It was a spontaneous idea to join the Matchbox Group Build on Scalemates.
Saw, bought and built the model within 2.5 hours.
The idea was to paint the whole thing with the paint brush without using the [...]
Here is the amazing Matchbox diorama from 1983!
Tanks are built straight from the box for the most part.

Straight from the box, few parts (but some very tiny). The only thing i wish i had changed is on the Jeep. That is the [...]
