FORD MODEL A, MATCHBOX NO.38 AND TIGER BALM

Author : Youkonton Ratarasarn




Die-cast car of this weekend is the car that was used to promote or advertise various commodities. When mentioning to this kind of die-cast car, I have to refer to the Matchbox No.38 which is a Ford Model A. It was initiated the output in 1983 (Real car began the production in 1928 -1931. It had been sold more than 5 million cars)

Matchbox No.38 is the die-cast car that was produced in large amounts. There were hundreds of models. It was used to advertise many kinds of commodities including Tiger Balm of our Asian countries. The first version of Matchbox No.38 was produced in 1982. The body was blue. Champion spark plug was the most popular among the collectors (especially in America and England) until having issued a handbook of Matchbox No.38. Some models were very difficult to find owing to only a few hundred output. Matchbox No.38 was regarded as a well-known all-time favourite matchbox. In England, Matchbox No.38 that advertised Kellogg’s Corn Flakes has been sold more than 2 million cars.

Die-cast Matchbox No.38 showing you today advertises Tiger Balm. The car was produced in Thailand is the year 1993. It is one of six models from “Pill,Potions & Powders” set. It is 7.5 cm. long.

Tiger Balm has a history for more than a century. It began in 1870 by a Chinese herbalist named Aw Chu kin. He set up his humble medicine shop in Rang Goon, the city of Burma and tried to develop the ingredient of the balm. But it was not in fashion and it was not popular using. Up to the progenies, and Aw Boon Haw had developed an ingredient and having a success. They used the Tiger as a logo which was translated from the name of Aw Boon Haw. In 1926 they moved Tiger Balm to Singapore. The two brothers began the expansion of the Tiger Balm to sell around the world. Even the emperor of China uses it. It caused to became a billionaire of Singapore (Aw Boon Par, the elder brother died during the World War II)

Aw Boon Haw built an amusement park and in Singapore and Hong Kong. They became to be tourist attractions until present time. Die-cast Matchbox No.38 had been photo taken by using the amusement park Aw Boon Haw as a background for all three pictures.

The picture of real Ford Model A and advertising of Tiger Balm in the past could be true. Because the business of Tiger Balm passed a period of Model A that was trading at that time (1928-1931). Another event seemed to verify that Ford Model A advertised the Tiger Balm really existed was two of this car underneath. Even though, they were not Model A, it appeared that car were being used as a promotion of products in that period.

Do you see that collecting die-cast car has given knowledge and amusement for us. Everythingalways has a story.

1958 HONGQI CA770, THE FIRST NATIONAL CHINA CAR

Author : Youkonton Ratarasarn

The National Car referred to the car that is 100% produced in China. The National Car of China was initiated from a National Development Plan for the first 5 years in 1950-1955. China set a scheme to produce its own car and had every part made in the country. In 1956, busses were firstly created and later on, they began to create saloon car and met with a success in 1958. The Honqgi (“red flag” in Chinese) model CA770 was a mixture between cars of the free world and cars of the communist which are the United State’s Chrysler Imperial and Soviet’s ZIL car

“CA770” was mode’s name of “Red Flag”. The meanings are as follows:
“C” refers to China
“A” refers to FAW (First Automobile Works). It was the name of the factory of the car.
The first “7” is a code number of the car.
The Second “7” means 7 seats
“0” is a kind of car (Limo)

CA700 used eight pistons engine sized 5700CC in order to have a 220 horse powers by using automatic gear of two speeds. The weight of the car was 2.5 tons. This model had been used as an official car for the leader of China and for many leaders of foreign countries who came to visit China.


In 1965 The Prime Minister of China, Joe En Lai denied the request of President Nixon who would bring his own car during his first visit China. He told Nixon not to worry. He welcomed Nixon with the best car in the world that built by China itself. It was this Hongqi CA770.

The President Mow Ze Tung, the leader during that period had used this model as his positional car, including welcoming various leaders such as Stalin of Soviet. This car was used by the leader of China for a long time since 1958-1983. The last Honqgi CA770 was produced in 1983. The latest model of Honqgi was Model Besturn. The current leader of China, Hong Gin Tow uses armored Audi A8 as his official car.

Now, it better to mentioned this die-cast car. It was die-casting Hongqi CA770. It was bought from China during my trip to film a documentation for the United Nation. During the days I traveled many places for footages. At dusk I went out and have a walk to find this die-cast. This was 5-6 years ago. I had a look nearly every store in Beijing. It was scarce to get one. Language was one of the problem. The seller did not understand English and I did not know any Chinese. I intended that die-cast I would buy must be Chinese brand that made in China and the real car must also be Chinese car. However, this die-cast car appeared to have a brand of French named Kader Precistion Model. The real car was certainly Chinese. It was the only die-cast car I felt good with its “Made in China”.
This die-cast car has a scale of 1:24 The length is 24.5cm. The Kader Precistion Model, USA had a permission from First Automobile Works which was a producer of Hongqi CA770 in 1997.

It is a black car. The bonnet can be opened to see the engine inside. The tail bonnet can be opened. There is a spare tire with battery in it. Four doors can be opened and shut. The seats and spare seat at the back are foldaway. All seats are covered with real velvet. The steering wheel has a system to operate the wheels to turn the car. Underneath, there are details of understructure such as leaf spring, shock absorber and exhausted pipe, etc.

The details of the die-cast car is very good. Even so, the rear mirror has a thin black curtain as a partition. Especially if we compare with the technical output of the last 10 years, this die-cast car is incredible. Lastly, I would like to repeat that it is the only Made-in-China die-cast car I feel good with.

JAMES BOND LOTUS ESPRIT OUTSTANDING CAR FROM CORGI

The James Bond Lotus Esprit by Corgi is an outstanding car. As seen in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME, this car stands as on of the most innovative vehicles since the Aston Martin DB5. This is one of the classic James Bond cars of the cinema.

The Spy Who Loved Me, released in 1977, is the 10th film in the James Bond series and the third to star Roger Moore as MI6 agent James Bond. It was directed by Lewis Gilbert and the screenplay was written by Christopher Wood and Richard Maibaum. The film takes its title from the tenth novel in Ian Fleming's James Bond series. Following a request by Ian Fleming when he sold the rights to the series that only the title of the novel be used, it is the first Bond film to be written with a wholly original plot line in its screenplay. The storyline involves a reclusive megalomaniac named Stromberg who plans to destroy the world and create a new civilization under the sea. Bond teams up with a Russian agent Anya Amasova to stop Stromberg.

Throughout the James Bond series of films Q Branch has given Bond a wide variety of vehicles with which to battle his enemies. Among the most noteworthy gadgets Bond has been equipped with have been various vehicles that have numerous modifications to include weapons systems, anti-pursuit systems, alternate transportation modes, and various other functions.

This is actual white Esprit S1 used in the famous chase sequence in The Spy Who Loved Me. It evades the lovely Caroline Munro in her helicopter by driving off a pier and then converting into a submarine, complete with mines and rockets to get rid of any unwanted attention. This is a very early car and was purchased directly from Lotus Cars in 1998

The Lotus Esprit and its underwater exploits are second only to the DB5 in the Bond car hall of fame. To escape a rocket-equipped helicopter Bond (now played for laughs by the bouffant-ed Roger Moore) drives the Esprit off a pier into the sea, where it transforms into a submarine at the flick of a switch and blows up the helicopter with its own rockets. More underwater action ensues, until Bond emerges victorious on a beach full of holidaymakers. Six cars were used to film this sequence, one of which was a working submarine with two divers

JAMES BOND ASTON MARTIN TOY

The amazing Corgi James Bond Aston Martin toy is a 20th century classic and probably one of the most famous die-cast models ever made.

The James Bond Goldfinger film, starring Sean Connery and Honor Blackman, was released in 1964 and became an instant success. The film company Eon Productions commissioned Aston Martin for the use of two DB5 Aston (registration BMT 216A and FMP 7B) for the film, and also used both cars for the following film Thunderball.

Both cars were in a silver birch paint finish, one as the “effects” car and the other as the “road car” The “effect” car was adapted by John Stears and the Special Effects Team to accommodate retractable machine guns, nail and oil distributors, smoke generators, ramming overriders and extendible axle shafts to act as tyre-slashers.


James Bond Aston Martin DB5 & Figures - Goldfinger. This vehicle includes Spiked Wheels, Side Mirrors, Rear Bulletproof Screen, Ejector Seat, Rear Tire Slasher and Machine guns. This is the most popular James Bond vehicle to date with more then 20 million sold.

CITROEN 2CV, NOT JUST A CAR BUT A LIFESTYLE

Author : Youkonton Ratarasarn

German had Volkswagen. French also had a Citroen 2CV as a national heritage.
In 1936, Jean Boulanger and Pierre Michelin, the executives of Citroen had requested a team of engineers to design an economy car that was small comfortable and easy to drive. The system of the understructure must be soft as if someone place a basketful of eggs in the car running across the field, the eggs must not break.
After three years of Citroen engineers congregation, they discovered the original style of a unfamiliar appearance. It was designed by one of the teamwork whose name was Deux Chvaux. The body of the car was aluminium. The system of the understructure was made of metal magnesium for a light weight. It had only on front light and a wiper that must be used by hand to operate. It had two pistons engines, using water to cool the heath and cycling the starter by hand.

But it missed the chance to show to public due to the second World War in 1939. The motor show in that year was cancelled. During the occupation by Germany, Boulanger continued working on 2CV with his team. At all events, many kinds of the raw materials were scant, relating to the war.
After the World War II was ended, the oil was hard to find. This Citroen began to receive intention from the producer, due to many aspects of the appearance. 2CV associated with a living status of French and after situation in a period of war.
The engine of the 2CV used air-cooled engine instead of water-cooled. The understructure was changed into steel. The front light and wiper was added into two and the engine room was changed to a new gear.
Finally, after the more than ten year of design and alteration, 2CV appeared to public for the first time in Paris Motor Show 35 in 1948. Thereby, on October 7, Boulanger, chairman of the Citroen and Vincent Auriol, the French president had exhibited Citroen 2CV which was strange looking and was made fun by many people in that period. On the other hand, it was impressive to French people very much. Owing to its clever design an the price that cost only 185,000 Franc. It was the lowest price in the market at that time.

2CV began the trade in 1948 naming the Model A using the 375 CC engine.
In 1954 it was renamed to AZ and the engine was changed to 425 CC.
In 1956 it released a special model with aluminum body named Model 2ZL. Therefore, it had been altered many times on small details such as Model AZLP and Model AZAM. Until July 27, 1990 at 4pm (GMT), the last Citroen 2CV had been assembled in Portugal. The number of the production around the world was 7,301,278 cars in more than 40 years. Citroen 2CV met with success and sold very well. Sometimes, the buyers had to wait fro more than 5 years in order to have the ownership. The cost of 2CV had never fluctuated.

Citroen 2CV became one of the icon of French same as red wine, basket bread and Eiffel Tower.
Citroen 2CV was mentioned a lot about the ability to run in a various conditions, from desert to high hill and even waded water and mud included a long distant. For instance, in 1953-1954 Jaques Comet and Henri Lochon traveled 52,000km from North America to South America, Africa Spain and France.
In 1958, two students, Jean Baudot and Jacques Sequiela traveled by 2CV around the world with a distance of 100,000km. Beside that, there were many big rally , for example, the Raid Paris-Perspolis-Paris in 1970.

In 1971, the Raid Paris-Perspolis-Paris had 1,300 participants who entered the contest for a distance of 13,500km. 467 of that were Citroen. As shown here, this die-cast came from one of the rally participants. This real model was produced in 1952.

This die-cast 2CV is 21cm long. Its scale is 1:8. It is painted in yellow with logos screened on both side as a rally car refer to the car participated in the Raid Paris-Perspolis-Paris. The front hood can be opened to see the engine inside. Both doors can be open. The roof of the car is made of rubber and can be removed. The seats are covered with real fabric. The steering wheel has a system to operate the wheels in order to turn left and right. The understructure of the four wheels is able to move independently like a real car.
This die-cast car was produced by Maisto. It was not mentioned the year of the released but it seems older than 5 years. It was even more impressive since it was originally create in Thailand.

RENAULT R16 - THE TOUGHEST AND MOST WELL-KNOWN CYCLING TOURNAMENT OF THE WORLD "TOUR DE FRANCE"

By : Youkonton Ratarasarn




“Tour de France” was a program of cycling tournament. It was well-known grade of the world by passing a various geographical countries. In France and sometimes passing through neighboring countries with a distance of 3000 km. consumed more than 20 days of cycling. It was first organized by Henri Desgrange in 1903. The first winner was a French, Maurice Garin and the winner at the present time in 2007 was Alberto Contador from Spain.





Due to the contest, “Tour de France” had many impressive viewers followed-up the race. Consequently, it was filmed in many cinemas by a distinguished director who received the Oscar Award and giant cinema company such as Paramount. This became the source of die-cast Renault R16. The car was made by Corgi in England between 1968 – 1972 by receiving a license from the Paramount Company, USA. The length of the car from front bumper to the camera lens in the back of the car was 11.9 cm. long. The wide was 3.7 cm. The height was 5.1 cm.







This Renault R16 had been added the area at the back in order to place the cinematograph and the cinematographer. There was a metal plate with Paramount logo on the top of the car. There was a driver sitting in the car. The wheels of the vehicle were made of tire. The hubs of the wheels were made of metal. The spare parts of the body were mainly made of metal including the cinematograph and a tripod. The lens of the cinematograph was made of crystal and could spin around as a real one, resulting it to be costly die-cast car. Its interesting story caused it to be required by many collectors.

WATER SLIDE DECAL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Autor: schulte@bright.net



Applcation instructions to apply waterslide decals:To apply your decals please do the following.

1.Supplies you will need are a pair of scissors, tweezers, a good artist paintbrush, Kleenex (I do mean Kleenex - do not use a generic brand) and a bowl of warm water.

2.Cut out around the decal name leaving the smallest practical border around the edge of the lettering.

3.Place your vehicle on a towel with the side up you are placing the decal facing up.

4.Place your decal in a bowl of warm to very warm water UPSIDE DOWN with the backing paper facing up. Leave it soak 30-60 seconds. Pick it up with the tweezers (gently-you do not want to make impressions on the film) and turn it so the lettering is facing you.

5.Wet the area you are placing the decal on (just dip your finger in the bowl and blob some water where you are placing the decal) Then take the decal with the backing paper and place it where you want to apply it with the film side up and the backing paper next to the model. Using one finger move the film to the left slightly until you can grab the backing paper with the tweezers and pull the backing paper out from under the film. (I always slide the film to the left and leave my finger on the left edge of the film while pulling the backing paper to the right)

6.Adjust the film where you want it and take a Kleenex (I do mean Kleenex-no other brand works as well) and gently blot the excess water up around the decal. Double check the position of the decal to make sure that is where you want it. If it is not ideally located you can move the film around to get it in the proper place at this time.

7.Take your artist brush starting in the center of the decal and brush outward removing the water from under the decal. (I then take the Kleenex and blot up the water I have pushed out from under the decal) Continue doing this process until no more beads of water come out from under the decal.

8.If you find your decal is not centered exactly where you want it soak it liberally in water using your artist brush and you can tease it to release and reposition it. (Until you get most of the water out from under the decal you will be able to reposition it without re-soaking it)

9.Let the decal dry for a day. To protect the decal I suggest you coat it with acrylic using a Q-tip and Future floor wax. This puts an iron like coating over the decal protecting the micro thin printing.

10.If you do not wish to attempt to do this (and it is really is simple once you do it you will find out) you can ship your model to me and I will apply the decals for Ten dollars plus shipping back to you.

11.If you encounter a very rare occurrence that occasionally happens, after you get your decal applied it looks like bubbles or spots between the film and what you applied it to the film did not completely adhere. This happens on rare occasions. Go to your local hobby store and purchase a decal setting solution (I use Microsol - .Micro Set) Liberally apply the setting solution over the decal and after 3 minutes gently brush outward from the center. This will resolve the problem and your film should be very transparent and unnoticeable.

TOYLAND IN THAILAND

History of Matchbox

Just after World War II when metal materials were released from their wartime roll in munitions and armaments, a line of die-cast metal cars from England came onto the international toy market. Their name MATCHBOX® was a clever device that immediately identified their size.
Some 17 years later, a Hong Kong manufacturer of toys began making his own line of diecast metal cars. So successful was this company, Universal, that in 1982 it acquired the British toy firm and has become what is now know as the Universal Matchbox Group Ltd.
A truly multinational operation, Universal Matchbox Group Ltd. Has offices in four continents, owns several manufacturing plants in the Far East, and distributes its product through a marketing network encompassing 120 countries.
Founder and visionary, David C.W. Yeh, accurately foresaw thai toy manufacturing would center itself in the Far East. He, however, recognized the importance of reling on the expertise in design and marketing skill of major consumer countries. Merging these international and complementary strengths has been the reason for Group’s continuous growth and strong position in the international toy industry.

Matchbox Made in Thailand

Thailand is becoming TOYLAND. That’s because one of the best known brand names in toys MATCHBOX® has established a major manufacturing facility here.
With the inauguration on November 8th 1989 a brand new factory under the name Universal International (Thailand) Co., Ltd. In the Bangpoo Industrial Estate, a whole range of MATCHBOX® toys are now being made in Thailand for distribution worldwide through a network covering some 120 countries.

These will eventually include the world renewed Matchbox® die cast vehicles, play sets and plastic toys. In addition, the factory will be positioned to take on contract work for other major international toy firms.

MATCHBOX® is owned by the Universal Matchbox Group Ltd. Whose shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange. It is one of the largest international toy companies in the world with a truly integrated operation, from concept through the stages of design, development, manufacturing, marketing and distribution.

Matchbox® is a household name symbolizing quality and value. It is recognized instantly by consumers throughout the world who will soon be given the opportunity to associate that enviable reputation with “Made in Thailand”, thus establishing the country as an important toy manufacturing nation, and perhaps giving rise to a popular synonym for “Made in Toyland”

CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG : POPULAR FAMILY/POPULAR DIE CAST CAR

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang : Popular Family/Popular Die cast Car

By Youkonton Ratarasarn

Looking on the above picture, do not misunderstand that the car in this picture fly over our City of Bangkok. But the die cast car flew over it inside a box of Air Cargo. In the past years while the era had not had any tender from the Website as the present time, one of my friends who were one of a leading collector, he knew me and kindly bid it from Vectis Model Auction for me from England. I have to say thank you to him once again. It makes us to have the opportunity to see this real Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Die cast Car.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was created the output of this Die cast. It took a full year to projected filming in England in 1967 and projecting in 1968 by Walt Disney. This fiction related from Eian Flamings just the same man who had written the story of James Bond 007. This novel was printed in 1964. The leading actor was Dix Vann Dike, concerning a venturous family of Potts whose son was kidnapped for a ransom in France. They had to trace their son to return as soon as possible by using the miracle car to fly and running in the water.

Over 35 years, this cinema is still dominated a championship for hitting the children in 2003. A vote from the parents and around 8,000 children by surveying from renting VDO shops “Choices” in England. The announcer of Harcell Arding shop said, this cinema is complete with everything and exciting imagination. The performers were interesting, loving and scaring. The second favorite cinema was surveyed by E.T. the Extraterrestrial. It resulted the cinema of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang had snatched the championship in the end.

It seems to be that the leading actor of this cinema might be the magic car that could travel everywhere. The appearance is very colorful with flying wings. The rear of the car looked like a boat to run in the water. This was assembled against the present time by real assembly car approximately in 1910. One thing was clearly seen that the horn of the car in the cinema has ever used by Mercedes Benz in 1913 that had a dragon shape horn. At present, it was kept in the museum of Benz in Germany. The Rolls Royce in 1914 Wood Body, the rear of the car look alike a boat and snake shaped horn.


In the same year the cinema has been projected in 1968, Corgi, the leading assembled car of England had introduced car from the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to assemble the die cast for 16 cm. in length, with a good quality of materials. The color is proportionate with the beauty mainly the car spare parts were made from metal, front light was crystal, and the spoke was metal. It has a mechanic to collapse the big wings by using hand brake to operate the system. Besides this it has a figure from the cinema on the car painting by hand the same as on the above picture to stick to the Film for a beauty. The assembly of the car used a small amount of the quantity materials to be made. Therefore, the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to have favoritism with a very high price. At present, the die casting is regarded as a history.

Nearly almost 40 years, the cinema of the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, always dominates the children along with the adults forever
