Fond memories of making this as a kid and playing with it for ages. It's basic but can make a very nice kit with modern materials and skills.

I am totally with you on the sanitisation, they have even deleted the swastika from the tail, if that's not distorting history I don't know what is. keep up the good work and keep on telling it like it is, cheers.

Yes ! One of my favourite Matchbox kits. Looking forward to seeing these completed as you've planned. I have one in my stash that I want to build as option 1, ( Kommando Novotny ), but in a RLM 74, 75, 76 camouflage scheme which I think is the correct colours for that time. Built & painted one in that option in my early teens, ( I was a kid of the seventies which ages me ), & I was really chuffed with how it looked when finished. I also have an M/box BF109E that I want to finish in the Romanian Air Force scheme as I've always liked that more colourful option.

I remember making the 73 version. Framed the pic and put it on the wall. I paid 75 p for the kit. Happy days❤❤❤

Recuerdo de infancia, sólo conseguías Matchbox y algo de Airfix en el Chile de la década de 1970. Armé algunos de ellos en esa época. Ahora armando tanques super detallados en 1:35 de marcas HK o chinas. Pasa el tiempo, el gusto por el hobbie queda. Saludos

It’s a nice kit I have built a couple of these. I like that you have the option of the fighter bomber version and the fighter version.

I bought the original at the raf st. Athans air show (sadly now long cancelled) in 1977 when i was 7. One of the first kits i built unassisted by my father, no paint just the multicoloured plastics with bombs and the decals steaight on. Was awesome then and still is now, i still think its better than the revell kit thats still being made.

Same with Roy Cross artwork...The beginnings of a woke culture me thinks...Those exciting 70's days are long gone but I'm glad I lived through it cos it was a total blast that we didn't realise at the time...As a muralist in the art ind. myself for 35 years I wrote to Roy Cross and he replied with an autograph and a nice letter now framed with a print of his unsanitised night Lanc landing (you know the one) hanging on my wall...Checkout James Mays interveiw with Roy Cross...Brilliant!

I remember the 70s and 80s which now seem like a lifetime ago. I’m not sure we have progressed in a positive way but here we are and a bit of modelling nostalgia is always welcome. Congratulations on your correspondence with Roy Cross and I’m sure your signed artwork from him is a prized possession. 👍

I build some of these early Matchbox kits,the Me109, the Hurricane II (before it there were only the awfuls Revell & Airfix) the Cobra and the Gladiator. From what I knew, the "sanitization" of the front images happened because in some countries there were complaints about the guns firing and enemy aircrafts going down(!). But what did they were expecting from military aircrafts in a combat situation ?

The sanitising of kit box artwork was just a historical blip. Have a look at Airfix's current range of kits. Plenty of action on the box art there.

thank you for your video, as a collector, I'm looking for unscensored kits/decals/boxes only (if available) even they are harder to get. The changes you showed were the subtle beginnings of cancel culture we face nowadays.

Certainly better than the Revell and Airfix ones of that era. Heller did one that was better, I think.

Hi. This is what happened when Revell took over the running of Matchbox. Revell being a German company did not want to glorify war so they sanitised all of their box artwork. Effectively wiping away history , they completely failed to realise that it was the artwork that attracted the young modeller. Allowing us ' kids ' to use our imaginations and live out our fantasies. What a shame.

Totally agree, the artwork was the starting point for many young modellers to learn and explore History. The artwork also had definite educational merit.

It's the box artwork that makes the difference for me. I hate the sanitised box art we have these days. I mean the models we build are war machines in action and should be shown that way not as you say shown as a fly by from an airshow. Pollitical correctness ruining our joy
