Hi,

thanks again for your kind replies.

Today I finished the restauration of the Merryweather fire engine.
No changes on the model only new color.

Hi,

today´s fleamarket finds.
One to restore one to perhaps make a site hut on a 3D-printer and one for just being happy to have it.

hi,

today I got thes two modells.
The Euclid is quit nice, the Chevy had his best times a long time ago.

I was looking for the code of the two models.
I found the Euclid but not the Chevy.
It is a version with black plastic wheels but no grill brace.
Is this version known by anyone of you?

Hi,

I bought these two modells today.

My granddad alawys had a box of models for us kids to play with during our visits at his home.
The Husky Oldsmobile was one of them - I always wanted to take it with me bud he wont let me.
No I got one on my own.

The cart shown on page one of this discussion came with the Matchbox Superkings armored truck. The cart is still a regular wheel (perhaps they were using up old wheels found in storage?) but was made in the late '70s and early '80s long after the last Regular Wheel was produced.


Personally, I like the Impala better without its decal. For some reason, I fail to think of a '60s muscle car used as a taxi.

Hi,

recently I´m working on this Greyhound bus.
It has now fresh paint bud is still mising the labels.
If anyone of you could take a picture like mine I would be able to copy the label and print it.

Thanks a lot

Here is a 'Superfast' version label...
Appearing to be slightly faded so the Blue is coming out as a Grey Easy to rectify on a computer and this is deliberately a large file to improve the look of detail when the image is reduced down to the size you want. If you save this picture it, you will have all of it, not just the section you see above, try it and you will see what I mean.

...and here are modern reproductions from the internet.
Showing a much better Blue shade and while the typeface is not exactly the same, they could be tidied up on a computer.
