it reminds me of an international scout 800, and this little guy turned out good in the yellow.
It's nice to see these old classics looking as good as new if not better with those little extra touches.
Superb. I can see this in a toy store as a child and begging my parents for it. Beautiful.
Your little minor touches make me want to take paint to all of my HotWheels/Matchbox cars. They really make them look SO much better.
You must have found one of the only models in existence without a bent roof!
I had this one as a kid. As the previous guy stated, it reminds me of an International Scout as well. In fact thats why I got it when I was a kid. There was a Scout Commercial narrated by Tom Bosley that was always on tv at the time, and when I saw that car in K&B I had to have it. Seeing these little cars magnified on the tv screen adds a whole new dimension in which to admire them. To me, it’s even more fun than holding the real toy, because I can see every tiny detail.
Your restaurations are awsome, another brilliant rescue. Nice model, despite the yellow colour. 👍
You are the reason i started my own restoration hobby
EXCELLENT again, we had this type of lorry (truck) in our motor pool, made by International harvester in the army.
I like the idea of using a cocktail stick for painting in fine detail. I get the feeling (in my own case at least) it'd be easier to control than a brush.
Excellent result as always!
As always Rob. Super job! That yellow really pops.
Looks great, I never would have thought about using a toothpick for those fine details. After watching about 90% of your videos I’m going to try one of my own soon and will definitely be using that method!
Good luck mate 👍🏼
Nice little model, no primer though on a yellow color, no wonder it took three coats. One little thing, the spare could have been done with a touch of red on the rim to better match. Just one mans thought. Thanks for sharing this video with me and please keep them coming in.
the result looks way better than i expected
Another car from my childhood, glad you kept it original
I see the 50/50 paint thinning ratio has worked very well. Great to see. Provides a much more 'scale' finish.
I always use 50/50 with Enamel paint 😎
Excellent restoration Field car 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
you do a great paint job the field car looks great il send you some more pics of my restos
Rob that turned out awesome great work it's as good as new if not better with the little details great work
That's a lovely job. Like th way you did the detailing,very clever!
Very smart ,nice clean build.
Nice job...........I like the idea of the cocktail stick.......I'll give it a go.
That's one of the nicest little resto's Iv'e seen you do . tip. paint the spare wheel rim to match the others, perfect!
I considered it
Beautiful job, Rob!!! It looks brand new!! Love your detail work!!
Awesome job. Love the extra details.
Awesome mate! Elegant in its simplicity - looks outstanding
I see I'm not the only one who thinks this is a Scout 800. It looks so much like the one a friend of mine had for a plow truck. The grille looks to be something matchbox did to due to licensing issues with International. Looks great all cleaned up and painted.
Wow, super clean resto, it looks great!
Excellent restoration and video as always well done
Nice work! I have a different version of this, the only difference is that mine doesn;t not have working steering, it's just a standard superfast base. I think it's superfast anyway. The new paint job on yours really brings out the detail Matchbox put into the casting with door handles, rear number plate, petrol caps. Nice casting.
Nice and clean restore Rob, looks great!....Bill
Turned out quite spiffy! The field car has had a bit of a touch up for its age.
Missed this video when it first came out!
Lovely restoration
Nice job, keep up the good work. This truck looks like a International truck.
Great job on the restoration
Excellent Restoration, the added detail does so much for the looks of the vehicle. Thanks for sharing
I noticed you did not prime this model, which made the restoration look much more original. Well done.
Looks awesome as usual! Reminds me of one that I used to play with as a kid.
Looks sooo good. Yeah, that one’s a keeper!
Fantastic result as always!
Luv your work! I have both ‘69 yellow and army green versions to now resto, following your tutorial;)
What a nice job done on this, looks so original and tidy,nice video.
Awesome Resto!!! Great job as always!!
MAJOR defference. Good work :)
Really like how that came out
Very clean job, really love it......👍
Turned out beautiful
Nice job!
I had one with a Matchbox Country Playset, unfortunately after myself, my daughter, and quite a few other kids have played with it the tow is missing. My grandchildren have no way to pull the Horse Trailer.
Great job ~ as always!!
I like that model, I will have to find one to add to my collection.
Wow! Great job, Rob!!
Great job on this one Rob, the paint came out smooth as glass! This was in prime condition for a resto, most of these you see have a damaged or missing top as well as missing tyres.
Excellent job, looks great!!!!
Beautiful job, mate!
Nice restoration!
Nice Job, Rob!!! 👍
Not got one of these ones yet. Love it.
Fantastic transformation Thanks
That's a awesome restoration wow love it
Beautiful restoration Rob, it looked brand-new when you were done!
Well done. Looks great
Great car except for those red wheels. It came with Superfast wheels after 1968 and it looked much better! Love the yellow paint restored as done by Matchbox
but would have painted the plastic rims black. Probably would have made a windscreen for it too, but that is just me going one step further.👍🏻👍🏻🍻
Love this car when I was a kid
Superb result!
Stunning Rob. Thank you
Great job as always. Looks beautifull!
Super clean restoration. Lovely paint and detail work. Very nice.
Super
Minor touches it's like day and night compared to what it was 50 years ago I happen to have an original you've always don't extremely well well done my friend what can I say
Thanks Tony 😎
I've always liked this casting, and your "restoration plus" was perfect for it!
Excelente...congratulations...my friend!!!!
Awesome
Lovely result!
Cheers
Very nice Rob 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very good restoration! Looks like a fun time fixing this up.🤠
One of your nicer ones... Good job
This has to be my favorite restoration you've done! Awesome work there!!!
Funny looking model, I like it!
Looks great Rob
Excellent restoration A+++++
Excellent restoration “+”!! Even though not original, the extra painted in details really set it off nicely! Great job!
nice build
I really like that one! Great job!
I sure do like this model.
Great job friend! Keep up the great work
Nicely done Rob. I had this car when I was small but it lost the plastic roof along the way.
Yeah agree with previous comment. 'Harvester International' built a lot of no nonsense, tough go anywhere type vehicles. Not sure if it was a brand known in the UK, but was popular in SA with farmers, game rangers etc? Excellent resto👍🙂
Great job. Just the proper amount of personal touches
Another awesome job! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It’s just like an International Scout!
Great work as always sir. 🍺
another great resto-mod looks good
I like the detail
Honestly looks amazing
Love this field car.takes me back when I had one as a child in my home made sandpit my dad made..great memories 👍
Nice work! It looks good as New! You did a good job replacing the tires.
Very shiny!
Love the color.
Excellent job!
Excellent restoration looks better than new. Keep up the great work. Look forward to the next video 👍🏼
Smashed that grille, sir. This looks completely original.
Absolutely amazing work , love wat u did looks like u took it off a shelf today
