I really liked the Matchbox kits. They fitted very well and although the panel lines were perhaps a bit overdone, they looked really nice. Matchbox also offered some very nice models which were a bit less mainstream, like the beautiful Dornier Do18 kit.
In those day I did read Airfix magazine, which always had very bad reviews for the Matchbox kits. The heavy panel lines were referred to as "trenches" . Strange enough they were milder milder in their opinion about model which weren't in the Airfix catalogue......
The only positive review I can remember was about the Flower class Corvette, which was really a spectacular kit for those days.
Cheers,
