Yes 50 years has gone by since Lesney released the plastic kits of all sorts of wonderful contraptions. As a kid it was a royal treat to be taken into Mathews on Cork and to pull off a Matchbox kit from the Rotary stand. I made quite a few in my day and has happy memories of these. A forum based on plastic modelling in the UK has started a group build and they are aiming at getting a kits from their entire range built which is a tall order but its nearly there. I joined in with a Saab Viggen and are bumbling along with that and really enjoying basic modelling... This kit was from 1977. If anyone has unloved Matchbox kits drop me a line

Just a Though but with the advances in 3D printing nowadays I would of though Brass now would start to become a thing of the past given you obviously would need less skills to knock it together?
