Matchbox 50th anniversary group build

PK-2022 Multi-colour goodness!

Event details

Name:
Matchbox 50th anniversary group build
About:
Matchbox 50th Anniversary 1972/73 to 2022/23.

To celebrate ? the kit range from Lesney Toys that started so many of us into this hobby. Kits first appeared in 1972 and first catalogue in 1973.

In the spirit of Matchbox of the time, any kit that came in a Matchbox labelled box should be allowed. This will allow AMT kits that were released under the Matchbox brand, as well as some Frog/Revell toolings that were later issued under Revell ownership. In my mind, if it was listed in a Matchbox catalogue and/or you remember it on sale in your 1980s newsagents, and in a Matchbox box, it's allowed

Likewise any Matchbox tooling since released by Revell in Revell boxes allowed. They may lack the psychedelic colours but they are still Matchbox to me.

For clarification;

Any original Matchbox tooling whether in a Matchbox or later Revell reissue box. Any other kit that comes in a Matchbox box.

Not AMT-only labelled or Frog/Revell labelled Frog & Revell kits.
To run to end 2023.
