The 1/32 War Goes On!

REVELL

Matchbox 1/32 Re-issues 2014

Matchbox 1:32 Re-issues! Yes, It's almost too go to be true or more like a dream come true.

Revell of Germany have re-issued the British and German sets that Matchbox used to produced back in the 70s and early 80s and up to now you could only get the originals by paying through the nose on eBay! Lets hope by Christmas the rest of the bunch will be out including the rare and much sought after British Commandos. Now there are two 1:76 sets also that never made it to 1:32, the Japanese and ANZACS, hopefully someone at Revell is insisting that they be released in 1:32. Now that would be unbelievably

incredibly fantastic wouldn't it!

Great new artwork!

Figures are now a butter colour and not tan.

Note: The prone gunner is firing an FG42! This was used by

the paratroops so it's a strange addition to the artwork!

From green/blue to very, very dark green!

The classic yanks set!

Now in dark green!

RUSSIAN ZIS 3 ANTI TANK GUN

1/32 Scale Set with 6 Figures

This is another fine kit from Italeri and a superb companion piece to the Russian Infantry

from the same series. The moulding is crisp and the detail superb. The crew are another

plus and altogether this kit is excellent value for money. There is not an awful lot in

1/32 like this so it is a must have for fans of that scale.

GERMAN PAK 40 ANTI TANK GUN

1/32 Scale

Another fine 1/32 kit by Italeri. It is a companion piece to the German Elite Troops

no doubt as the crew are dressed in the same uniform. The gun itself is a snap together affair so it's very easy to assemble and the plastic is very tough which makes it ideal for mucking around with. The crew are great with two men manning the gun, three men loading up the shells in a bucket brigade style and there is an observer pointing out targets. Once this is all painted it looks quite impressive.
By the way, it's funny that the crew are called servants!

The fine artwork of the box!
