SWEET. I remember building this as a young one. Looking forward to the nostalgia trip. Though it may end up with me buying one
All the best.

I love the street scene display base, looks to be a kit in itself!

What with one thing and another I only got started a few days ago. The Morris and Jeep went together quickly though.
The last day or two have seen them painted Humbrol 86 with olive drab canvas and Revell Anthracite for the camouflage.
The gun carriage has been assembled and partially painted.
The walls of the building have been sprayed with desert sand and the brickwork painted with Humbrol 113 acrylic. Still more to do but not looking too bad so far.
More soon.

Looking good. These Matchbox kits are great little dioramas.

What a blast seeing one of these being built!
I saw this kit on the shelf many years ago and was drawn by the box art. Thanks for bringing back the memories!

I can remember building one of these for a Late War British wargames army in 1980. I'm watching this one with interest.

Thanks for the comments chaps.
A bit more work on the base, still a bit more to do.
