Matchboxes from a bygone era
More or less a sentimental journey

Quite some time ago, when making model kits was just one of many "child plays" I stumbled upon a nice, small kit in a nearby kiosk.
It was Matchbox Panzer II and that day my affection for those little fellas was born.

I get some models along the years and after standing on a shelf for quite some time, they eventually landed in a dusty old box somewhere.

I really liked their details in such scale and all those extras like displays and figures, so never really threw any away with a plan to make them shine again in near future.

This time has now come and slowly but steadily I'm rebuilding this collection.

Read the individual album, as there are notes if those are rebuilds or maybe new builds, because my original kits were damaged and incomplete beyond any redemption...

I try to build them all as they were, with minor modifications like drilling out the barrels or similar stuff.
Sometimes I might be forced to scratch a lamp or two, but no major modifications.
