Although Matchbox is best known for its die-cast cars, during the 1970s it bought the AMT corporation, the dominant American plastic model kit manufacturer, and set up its own plastic kit division in the UK. Concentrating on 1/72 scale military aircraft, it competed with the then-dominant Airfix company. It was after sculpting the pilots for these kits that I was asked to make my first set of soldiers.
