Matchbox. Scammell Crusader articulated container truck. Renovation of model no. K-17.

In 1974, Matchbox produced the Scammell truck with a semi-trailer carrying two containers. The model was sold for 10 years until 1984. Trucks in sets were painted in three colors: red, white and blue, and in 1983 a yellow version was also introduced as a model of the German post office. My copy had a broken container door. I bleached containers yellowed by the sun with 12% hydrogen peroxide. One wheel was also damaged. I repaired all the damage and made a copy of the box. I cleaned the original, borrowed from my German friend Peter for copying, in a graphics program. Thank you for watching the video, I publish car repair videos on Tuesdays and Saturdays. You can turn on subtitles in your language with commentary on the activity in the video.

Still have the one I got as a kid. One of the greatest toys I ever had, played with it (and other Matchbox Superkings) for years. No batteries, no chips, just plastic and metal and tons of fun.

[@PaulRestorer]

Cool

[@arturszaradzista6403]

Efekt końcowy, jak zwykle wspaniały. Do kompletu brakuje tylko dźwigu który zdejmie jeden kontener, żeby można załadować obydwa. Gdyby jeszcze kierownice zamontować po drugiej stronie to można by nią jeździć po polskich drogach.👏

Bonjour Paul voulais savoir quel matériau utilisé vous pour reconstituer l'insert noir pour maintenir le jouet dans la boîte ? Je considère cette idée comme fabuleuse est depuis longtemps cherchais un moyen pour reproduire cette partie de la Matchbox milles merci pour votre contribution 👍❤️🇫🇷🚛

[@michaeledwards427]

Great video and restoration. I had this model when I was a child, I also had another scammel with a red cab with a gold low loader trailer. I remember playing with them and doing trailer swops as I've been truck mad since I was 4. All I've wanted to do is to be a truck driver and I've been driving artics now for 30 years!!

[@mikaelabowen5781]

Your restorations really are first class. I do love the fact that you chrome the headlights, details that Matchbox left just painted - a definite improvement.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank uou very much

[@McCormickfarrier]

Childhood memories! I also had this truck but with a low loader trailer and a bulldozer. I loved it! 50.... years ... ago... 🙈 Great job Paul!👍

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

Hi Paul. What a beautiful restoration! I'm so glad you eventually got all the parts together to restore this lovely vehicle. It was delightful to watch.

[@paul-sparky-sparr4160]

Wydaje mi się, że tym razem nie potrafię wymienić osobistych atrakcji... Cała renowacja jest fenomenalna. Ale! Naprawa drzwi kontenera jest genialna. Aby ponownie zamontować część tak malutką, że nie widać już uszkodzeń i regeneracja samego kontenera... WOW 🤩 (również naprawa wspornika przyczepy) Paweł, jestem pod wrażeniem takiej dbałości o szczegóły, za to zdecydowanie kciuki w górę 👍🏼 👍🏼 Dziękuję za udostępnienie 🙏🏼 i tak trzymaj przyjacielu 😉 Życzę miłego weekendu Tobie i Twojej rodzinie, bądźcie zdrowi i zdrowi. Pozdrowienia od odlewanego ciśnieniowo szalonego Paula z Morza Północnego 😎 🚛👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠 (P.S. Opakowanie może nie jest w 100% oryginalne, ale na pewno 10 razy lepsze 🤩👍🏼) I almost think I can't name a personal highlight this time... The entire restoration is phenomenal. But! The container door repair is brilliant. To reattach a part so tiny that you can no longer see the damage and the regeneration of the containers itself... WOW 🤩 (also the repair of the trailer support) Paul, I'm impressed by such attention to detail, definitely both thumbs up for that 👍🏼 👍🏼 Thanks so much for sharing 🙏🏼 and keep it up, mate 😉 Have a nice weekend to you and your family and stay safe and sound. Greetings from the die-cast crazy Paul at the North Sea shore. 😎 🚛👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠 (P.S. The packaging may not be 100% original, but it's guaranteed to be ten times better 🤩👍🏼) Ich glaub fast, diesmal kann ich kein persönliches Highlight nennen... Die gesamte Restaurierung ist phänomenal. Doch! Die Reparatur der Tür des Containers ist brillant. Ein so winziges Teil wieder zu befestigen, daß man die Beschädigung nicht mehr erkennen kann und die Regeneration der Container selbst ... WOW 🤩 (Ebenso die Reparatur der Stütze des Aufliegers) Paul, ich bin beeindruckt von soviel Liebe zum Detail, ganz klar beide Daumen hoch dafür 👍🏼 👍🏼 Vielen Dank fürs teilen 🙏🏼 und mach weiter so, mein Freund 😉 Dir und Deiner Familie ein schönes Wochenende und bleibt gesund und munter. Gruß vom Die-cast-verrückten Paul an der Nordsee 😎 🚛👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠 (P.S. Die Verpackung ist vielleicht nicht 100% original, aber garantiert zehnmal besser 🤩👍🏼)

[@teebodk3917]

I remember these trucks very clearly, they came in a whole bunch of different versions, Scammell, Mack and Volvo (I think), the trailers could be tankers, tippers or containers like yours. Many different colurs as well. I'm not sure I ever had this one, but I did own a Texaco tanker and a red/yellow tipper. They all had pretty good play value (especially a tipper in a sandbox), but it's pretty obvious why you've had such difficulties finding all the parts for this set, since the containers and trailer chassis are all detachable, so would easily get separated, and when resold at flea markets decades later, people often wouldn't know they belonged together. Very nice restoration as always, there were a lot of interesting challenges along the way, like the broken wheels, yellowed plastic and warped chassis. You say the original inner tray is of "poor quality", and I agree, but wouldn't you be able to replicate it using the vacuum machine you use for windows? Poor quality or not, wouldn't really matter since it would only be used for your display anyway, so no risk of breaking.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much, I will definitely devote several videos to this truck, the tanker will also be in them. As for the internal insert, it is of course possible to make it using the vacuum method, but the mold itself is quite expensive because it is quite a large thing. Of course, if I were to produce these inserts, I would decide to make a vacuum mold. Best regards
