General Impression & Note This kits are well-detailed. Three sprue frames are in green, brown and dark gray respectively. It was designed in 1978.
Morris C.8.: The detailed interior is its most advantage. Twelve shell boxes, one Bren machine gun, six rifles and one driver are included. This is also reflected on the box art.

17pdr GUN: The rivets on the shield are elaborate. Trails and barrel are movable after be assembled.

Willy's jeep: One driver included. I have to say when compared with Academy's new released Willy's jeep(in 1/72 WWII Ground Vehicle Set,#1310/FA172,released in 1999) the new comer isn't much better than this old one.

Diorama: The best diorama base in Matchbox's 1/76 AFV series. With brick chimney, brick wall and broken windows.

Advantage: All hub caps are separate from the wheels. So you can paint different colors on hub cap and wheel without any trouble. All wheels are movable.

Matchbox has produced most of their plastic model kits and die cast car in China since the end of 1980's. Unfortunately it has been out of production for about five years. This PK172 was produced in 1996. There are some remainders of Matchbox kits on the market. Matchbox is the torchbearer of China scale modelling activity.
