Matchbox (Re-Popped by Revell)1:76 Renault FT.17 & Char B1 Bis Build

[@leafwalker194]

I had no problem with the track. You put it in from below, you should do this from above 4:18. Both tracks are perfect. My wife spotted this.

[@Jackdaw5]

Can't believe he didn't spot that.

This took me back many years. I used to have a big collection of Airfix military. Tanks, trucks, Bren carriers etc plus all the men to go with them. Good stuff mate

Hey BK. Sorry I didn't see this post my friend. Yeah, there's no escaping it, these kits are so full of nostalgia. I'm hoping to get at least one of every Matchbox tank kit built. There are a few that are going for silly money though. Happy memories my friend.👍😉

[@HayesRonan]

Top class as usual Al. Excellent diorama idea too. Keep up the good work!

[@BrushQuill]

A nice video Al. Love the final diorama, and think you got the "floor" spot on!

[@ArmourEmpire]

Fond memories of building these two. Nice work

[@johnparker1696]

The Char B-1 is a tricky build and your right about the front plate issue but when the gun mantlet plate is in the right place it all falls together well. I like the Bovington style diorama Al it's a great touch mate

Great fun to see a build of these kits. I’ve got mine on its original diorama that came in the box with all the figures painted. They have their French camo paint and the soldiers on it. I’m still looking for a replacement Char Bis. Flyhawk makes a really nice model of the Renault. Actually you gave me an idea of what to do with the old Matchbox kits I’ve replaced 😊 Cheers, Any.

[@jyvesguillemot]

great result with old matchbox kits reboxing by revell ! ( 1/76 scale) love the museum ! jy !

[@SuperGutbucket]

Thanks for the heads up on the tracks. This kit is in my waiting to build stash. Love the diorama, definitely got the museum look. Brilliant! Martin.

[@markborner291]

Somehow missed this one previously but it's superb!!! Great idea and execution and as others have mentioned the floor effect is absolutely spot on. Have got this kit in the stash and after watching this I think it's going to move up in priority 🙂

[@Helcarexe26]

Well don Al on all the builds with that kit, nice diorama that you made for displaying the models.

[@GregReilly135ScaleModels]

Lovely little builds Al what a great idea for a dio congratulations on a lovely build my friend

[@Treeline9171]

The tanks came out great, Al. I really like your diorama. - Jeff

[@ramblers69]

Cracking job Al, love the diorama, those poles holding the rope are called stanchions, Cheers mate

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

I love these tanks! I wish they had them in larger scale. I just think they are so cool! Even if in real life they were kind of potatos.

[@johnclarke25]

Great tank kits,built the matchbox colour versions,and yo sound like a brummie,all the best from Gornal.

[@joramamodellbau3987]

Hello Al, really good video. Also shows some of the problems you can get that way. Some manufacturers should build their kits themselves, just for their own experience. It could be so easy if the manufacturers did their homework properly. But you solved the chain problem well. Also the Char B has become good as well as your idea for the diorama. Good performance Al. All the best, Joachim

[@wwkdiecastmore5647]

Pretty neat double kit, looks great Al!...Bill

[@levkriscoins9115]

Nice collection you have Great video 👍🏼 Thanks for sharing

[@Ralphieboy]

One of the best tank kits, ever. Still have mine from ca 1986

[@Ralphieboy]

Yes, I had to redo the treads, just used rubber bands and painted them.

[@philRminiatures]

Looks very nice, tanks and civilians!

[@Red-rl1xx]

Really cool setup!

[@IDICBeer]

[@MottysMilitaryModels]

[@charlie418791]

Nice kit , you magnificent bastard. 👍2 for 1....I like it.

[@charlie418791]

4 yrs.....Wow

[@music123videos]

Nice one Al, I'm tempted to build some 20mm tanks myself. I've done two Panzer IVs recently for the Rapid Fire rule-set. Very inexpensive compared to 28mm!

[@johnparker1696]

Hi Al. The FT 17 Track was OK with mine but I built the Matchbox version so matbe Revell have done something to it
