    Hi Lee, never got into Matchbox vehicals as they were 1/76 and not 1/72 plus I was into aircraft then as a kid. I have collected one or two along the way and disregarded the fraction of scale to fit them into planned dios like the Morris and Bofors gun.
    Your transporter was one huge kit from the series and will look good on that surface which can look like fine sand for your desert scene in 1942. If you have another tank other than the Firefly, that would be great.

    Cheers,
    Richard

            Since you pointed out this model on the cover of my old Matchbox catalog, I thought I’d share the whole of it from that:
