Matchbox Char B1 bis and Renault Ft. 17

 Who remembers this pairing from 1983? I had it. Revell re-released it. This blog has a nostalgic thread running through. Matchbox kits usually came with a diorama - destroyed building frontage etc. We used to use them as terrain pieces to wargame around. See the models made up and painted here.
