I am attempting to give some new life to the Matchbox Mobile Refreshment Canteen #74-A from 1959. Here is a original example in silver paint and grey wheels.
This model came in silver with black wheels, grey wheels, silver wheels and was also in cream, white and pink with pink being the most wanted version. The interior has a lot of detail so with the example I am restoring, I spent some time detail painting the details. Yes, my eye balls are about to fall out!!! I am not sure which color I will choose and I can purchase reproduction decals but I might try and come up with something different.
This one was original silver paint and silver plastic wheels, not that rare. The decals were worn away as was most of the paint. I might try and make some decals for this one I am not sure. I'll post it up in the finished section when I get there.
