[@vincentlefebvre9255]

In 1981 I was buying Matchbox kits at Woolworth for 1 dollar in Canada.

I enjoyed building these 2 back in the day

NOTE: I forgot to say; the 21st Panzer Division were in action at Arnhem, not Berlin as I said.

[@HO-bndk]

No they didn't. You are mixing them up with the 21st SS Panzergrenadier regiment.

Peter, I love these videos Matchbox really were cracking kits I used to love them. As you will appreciate when I was a lad the go-to Kit manufacturer was Airfix but I always thought Matchbox had the edge.

i bought lots of matchbox kits from my local shop as a kid peter,takes me back seeing the ones youve been putting on recently .they started me off in modelling in the late 70s id just build put the decals on and was happy..

[@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab]

Yes, it was a simpler time when we just built the models for pure fun, and maybe didn't take things so seriously, as someone else said, they looked great.👍🏻

@@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab very true peter those were the days...i just stalled two builds waiting on some master 1/48 brass cannons one for my revell hs129 thats in primer and for an me410 not started yet...and they arrived yesterday but ive now decided to leave the 129 for now and start my kinetic sea harrier frs1...i saw ur video on the gr3 and it gave me the push to start on the harrier kit ive had in my stash...oh i put a back order at hannants for the gr3 after seeing ur review too..

matchbox 'afv's - all the airfix ones being called 'tanks' by me and my friends - were really good at the time, cheaper than the more detailed japanese models, but with a display base and often figures, those being really good [still are I think]. but the tracks, although featuring a foolproof way of linking, were always very tight and often, my drive sprockets arched outwards as a result! no, i never waited til the glue had dried! remember some of the afv's were in funny colours - a light blue and white T34 comes to mind!

"Black people have faith in Adolf"?! Still incorrect from a grammatical point of view. But interesting. Would like to know, what they were trying to express with this. ;-)

[@super-alex2160]

HANOMAG was one german company manufacturing, also Auto Union,weserhütte and others the SdKfz 251 (Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251), the german word for half track is Halbkettenfahrzeug. /1 means with two MGs, "Schwarzem Vertrauen dem Führer" is improper german and is meanless, just stupid, translated it would be: blacks faith to the leader, ???? schwarzes Vertauen would make a better sentence, but also absolute pointless

[@HO-bndk]

Vertreven? Isn't it "vertrauen"? And "Schwarzem" doesn't mean "darkness" in the sense of "evil". I can't translate it here as it has racist overtones that KZbin would stomp all over.
