Fit is quite good, even with a tooling this old. Loads of flash though, so this is showing its age

This was the very first model I've ever build, longer ago than I care to rememberπ
Should be fun building it again, with the 50th aniversary of matchbox coming up.

Welcome to the group build. Nice one. I have it in my stash but never built it so far. Not even as a child. I'm excited! 🙂

Small progress made, amazing how much details there are in these,in my memory these kits were much less detailed...

Looking forward to seeing this done Jan. Coming along very nicely. I reckon this must be the tiniest kit in the Matchbox range apart maybe from the FT17, but that doesn't count because it accompanies the Char B!

Thanks Neil π
I guess the BMW sidecar kit that is in another duo set (can't remember which one) is even smaller, but this one sure isn't large.

Yes of course. Thinking about it, there's also the Jeeps. Anyway, looking good already!
