Matchbox landslide! A once-in-a-lifetime rain of British classics!

If there’s one thing I love about going to hobby shops, it’s seeing some of the old stuff that’s for sale there. Most shops carry the newest and shiniest, but a lot of them also have a section for old collections that have been bought, and that’s where I love to hang out.

With all the current travel restrictions, hobby shop runs have been off the table for a while, but thankfully, a local shop came to the rescue with a buy of 1,200-odd old kits!!! Of course, my heart leapt at the prospect, and I wasn’t disappointed!

Among these time-travelers were boxes of Matchbox kits, and you know me… I do love me some Matchbox! I managed to get 20 of them that I didn’t already have, plus some other goodies! Check out this haul at the link below, and don’t forget to vote at the bottom of my page! There’s a lot to love here!

I love me some Matchbox kits as well and I have thing for old kits too lol. I’d love to see you build them.

That Stranraer is a wonderful kit. Buy some AM Lewis guns and it really is a gem.

Did you get a Victor? or a Privateer?

Shipswise how about the Snowberry?

Great stuff!

Some old friends there, from my younger days, and a few I couldn’t afford at the time - enjoy!

Hi Bill;

The H.M.S. SnowBerry is the one that I eventually Radio Controlled and fit out for real world weather conditions! Kind of heavy Handed in the plating dept. But a handsome model all the same!
