That era when wondering across the catalogue was as exciting as building a model itself…

thanks for sharing, remember me my first modeller step, mtachbox was famous for beautiful box art from Roy.... first box at 6/7, was panzer II 1/76, remember the skull in the sand to finish model...more have follows after under my fingers, sometimes sharing big "carpet" battles ! little scale 1/72 + 1/76 was perfect for big theater impressions with planes and vehicles, special dedicace for 1/76 military dioramas includes in each box, so strinking and well artisticly done, each was different...Thank Fellow take care ; )

Mos, cheers for rekindling great memories of Bundoran, Co Donegal in 1982 getting the A20 Havoc and P 40 fighter! for my 12th birthday! Very similar to Airfix and the great Roy Cross. Great all round. Ps the music both the title and the one played during the catalog review adds to that sense of privacy and a quiet time to remember!

Got most of the 1/72 aircraft unbuilt in the loft. A few of the AFV kits too as well as the ELF Tyrell F1 car and the 1/72 Corvette. And the 1/32 Spitfire, Tiger Moth and Puma. Really should get building them. Currently got a Matchbox Hawk T1, Lysander and Jagdpanther in build. Got that Catalogue up there too. The Lightning you showed was the T55 version, the one in the catalogue was the F2a/F6 kit. The molds were altered to make the trainer.

This was the second (and last) Matchbox catalogue I had. Loved Matchbox kits: two sets of decals and they fitted together! Plus they were often sold in newsagents, so I could work on my dad on a Sunday. No interest in the AMT part at all. And as for Star Trek... waste of catalogue space!

I don't see the answer, so in the late 1970s, Lesney the parent company of Matchbox bought the AMT plastic kit company and owned them until Lesney ran into financial trouble in the early 1980s. AMT was then sold to the kit and diecast company Ertl in Iowa, USA.

Matchbox's collaboration with AMt in this catalogue means I've seen even more kits I have built here. These include the 16th scale Mustang (dates back to when the car first came out in 1964 so it's not the best and to be honest I didn't do that great a job on it either), the 25th scale '55 Nomad (an all time favorite of mine), the oil tanker trailer and the Ford C600 truck, but as a stake bed although the kit came with the tractor unit parts in it. Round 2 has been re-releasing several of the AMT kits of late.

I had the AMT Bulldozer as a kid in the 70s. Really great kit, good detail and one of the first tracked models of any type that had individual articulated track links. Unfortunately they stopped selling the kit in the US sometime in the 80s. Although I think they did re-released it in the early 2000s for a short run.

I found the 1/76 armour kits from matchbox to be far superior to the airfix kits of the day and the diorama base was a nice bonus. I fondly remember the wespe kit with a palm tree, the Jagdpanther breaking thru a wall and the sherman firefly on half a demolished bridge. Matchbox always were willing to give us different subjects that the other manufactures considered to "fringe" like the dornier flying boat, the heinkel 115 , and the hendon.
