Matchbox 1/72 Douglas A-20G Havoc (Green Hornet)
Another build from the Matchbox Group Build to celebrate Matchbox's 50th Anniversary to when they first released plastic model kits.
This may not be the best A-20 out there but I feel for its time, Matchbox did a nice job on providing the [...]
1/72 DH.98 Mosquito Matchbox PK-116
I finally found time to complete a build that’s been hanging around a while. It seems that I’m busier being fully retired compared to when I was working. I built this as a birthday gift for my brother and it will be a display on his [...]
Matchbox 1/72 Spitfire Mk.IX (Royal Egyptian Air Force)
This Spitfire was built for a Matchbox Group Build that is still currently going on to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Matchbox to when they first started releasing their injected mold kits in 1972. In regards to this group build, I [...]
1/76 Matchbox Char B1 bis & Renault FT-17 – Belgium, 14-16 May 1940
Here is the amazing Matchbox diorama from 1983!
Tanks are built straight from the box for the most part.
Paints are all Humbrol enamels and the decals came from the old kit.
PB4Y-2 Privateer "Redwing" (Matchbox, 1980)
I have been meaning to post photos of this model for a long time, and finally got the motivation given the fact it won a first prize in the recent Australian Model Expo. The category was "1/72 - out of the box - non-Commonwealth" [...]
Handley Page Heyford
This is a fairly easy article in that there aren't many models of the prototype out there. The Heyford suffers from the same issue as all British (and for that matter American) interwar heavy bombers. There isn't much interest and only [...]
Revell (Matchbox) 1/32 SBD-5 Dauntless
Hi everyone!
This is my Revell (Matchbox) 1/32 SBD-5 Dauntless, finished as a U.S. Marines bird.
"Scout Bomber Douglas" (SBD) Dauntless was the US Navy's main carrier-based scout/dive bomber from mid-1940 through mid-1944. It was [...]
Classic Kit: Matchbox 1/76 Jadgpanther Tweaked Just a Bit
I really like Matchbox 1/76 armor (armour) kits. The kits were made by a different hand because they do not exhibit the heavy engraving of their aircraft kits. This is my second attempt at building this kit. I used pastels to dust it up [...]
Modelling early Wellesley Squadrons in 1/72
Most Wellesley models focus on the Second World War service in the middle east. Not so many actually represent the home squadrons which were equipped with the bomber before the war. The first squadron to get the Wellesley was No. 7 - [...]
HMS Tiger, C20
This is my completed light cruiser HMS Tiger, build from the Matchbox/ Revell kit from the 1970's. The Tiger and her sister ship Blake were converted from all-gun cruisers in the 1970's into "Helicopter and Command Cruisers", to [...]
