I have just enough time to do a really simple AFV model before having to vacate the basement lab for renovations. I have a number of Revell/Matchbox kits in the stash which fit the bill. So which one to build?

Well if that Half track, is the Matchbox one with the Quad 50's, I always loved that box-art. I remember getting a Matchbox cardboard box at Christmas one year, with that artwork on it, so eagerly unwrapped, and what was all these funny cardboard pieces?? Yes it was one of those Matchbox artwork jigsaws...

Cheers
Jim

Yep, it's that one, although the Revell box artwork is much more boring than the Matchbox version. I built this one in the mid seventies

I built this one in the seventies too, it might even have been the first Matchbox AFV I built (either that or the Sherman Firefly)

M7 Priest for me, never really seen one built up and looks like an interesting piece of hard ware

I voted for the m7 Priest, because I attempted to build it when I was a kid and made a complete mess of it.
It would be nice to see the old girl again, but not looking like it was knocked out by a Tiger!.

Voting still open, in the event of a tied vote, eldest son Graham will get the casting vote
