From memory I do not believe so, however you could do a generic 'Matchbox' search on Scalemates to see if any Heller-like moulded kits pop up. Cheers..

Selwyn Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 So have we now covered all the matchbox kits in this GB, or are there some escapers? Don't think you have updated your master list for a while? Selwyn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 This GB is hitting my piggy bank,thanks to another dodgy set of decals I've had to resort to AM Italian decals for the Starfighter for the second time then I spied a set for the Sabre so another fiver then there's still more kits I fancy doing going for a song on e-bay! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimJ Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I lost out on a Gladiator but I have a P-51 on the way which may be built here as 'Dooleybird' as per the box art. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) I keep wondering if any former matchbox employees are looking on. The other thought is that given the popularity of the group build ( and I know for most of us it’s nostalgia fuelled) there would seem to be a market for new matchbox kits or at least some limited rereleases ( I know Revell does do this) Imagine seeing a load of new matchbox kits in your local AldI at Christmas instead of Airfix.

Rabbit Leader Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 An impressive work in progress collection there @stevej60, all of which will eventually be finished and gracing the gallery in no time. Your huge contributions are much appreciated and yet somehow still continue with a new Hawk build! Now I would have thought the new builds would have subsided a little by now, however to my utter surprise they are increasing at a rapid rate and I’m struggling hard to keep up with my ‘Build List’ update duties. Cheers.. Dave. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just let me get the Hawks, Comets and Strikemasters out of the way. Then I can add a couple more to your workload. Sorry... not sorry! Looking at a Noorduyn Norseman, Boeing P-12E and possibly a Fiat G91Y. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I built the old Airfix G91 at least twice but I would not mind having a go at the 91Y if I could find one on the cheap. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimJ Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) My Fw 190 is on the way. I do have one that I started back in 1991 but never finished. I would have entered it here but it's well over the 25% limit. DSCF3055 by timothy jones, on Flickr DSCF3056 by timothy jones, on Flickr I'd like to finish it alongside the new arrival if that's OK with @JOCKNEY and @Rabbit Leader. I can post the completed pics in the previous build thread. Edited March 3, 2022 by TimJ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great news Tim and just to let you (and others) know, we are quite liberal with the 25% GB rule, especially for a subject that has not already been chosen. Cheers..

Reminds me of a story my son told me just before I unwrapped last years Fathers Day present. With a cheeky smirk he says “We we’re going to get you Personalised Numbers plates that read No.1 Dad, but that was already taken, so we got you No.2 Dad instead”! 🤔 Cheers..
