Wow , this was an absolute blast from the past. I built and still have most of the military diorama kits. Our local newsagent used to stock them when I was a kid , these were some of the first models I ever made. Thanks heaps for sharing.

Swedish catalogue - it was around this time I started modelling. I had many of the tank dioramas.

In Australia at the time the only model kits you could find were Airfix, there were others but unless you lived in a city they were hard to find so when Matchbox started to come out they were a breath of fresh air, they had very crisp details for the time and fitted together easily and the box art was great and the mini military diorama's for the armour was a big selling point. Thanks for the memories.

What great memories of these models. My brother and I built several of them. My favorites were the Buffalo and Lysander.

I remember the Matchbox kits, and I do recall them being of excellent quality and accuracy. I remember building the Lysander and the Jaguar. Later I built a 1/32 Spitfire Mk 24 and it was an excellent kit and I still have the model

Built the Alpha Jet in a more traditional green/grey Luftwaffe scheme; still have it. Started on the Skyservant, guess I should finish it sometime soon.... Got the Norseman re-release from Revell-Germany. Would like to find the 1/32 Puma helicopter...at a decent price... someday.

Got to say matchbox kits where solid and the military vehicles came with a superb base scenario. I remember a local news agents selling them off for a ridiculous cheap price , hey,hey I bought the bloody lot . Good old times

What happened to the moulds? Can they all be made again?

[@catalogues4741]

Molds become worn and must be repaired or a new one made. It is quite expensive to make molds for plastic molding so you should probably not expect all models to be reissued.

[@mh53j]

Revell-Germany has many of the molds and have released many of the aircraft kits; the Norseman, Twin Otter, Victor tanker, Skyservant and 1/32 Puma helicopter are a few I know of, I'm sure there are more. Think some of the armor kits with the diorama bases have been released as well.
