Those beige parchment like instructions were normal white paper when the kit was new, they're just olde! I always coveted this kit on the top shelf in the news agent when I was a kid, and planned to save up my pocket money one day, but I always gave in to temptation and bought the cheaper 'purple series' Matchbox kits instead. My young eyes wouldn't have seen the moulding limitations of this 109, plus kit standards were much lower back then... but maybe the anticipation that one day I might build it was the real thrill. I suspect if I built the 109 now for nostalgia, I'd probably be disappointed by the vintage quality so maybe better to leave that childhood dream unrealised. That said, I've rebuilt almost the entire catalogue of Matchbox 1/76 military vehicles which has been hugely satisfying. They're not as sharp or detailed as modern releases, but with care and patience they can be refined into very presentable models, and to my eyes the slightly smaller 1/76 scale gives a feeling of delicacy and refinement (probably 'the child who was' looking through my eyes and approving). I enjoy building them and the results make me happy... can't ask for more than that!π

Casting back through my grey matter you're right, they were cheap off-white paper, nothing 'acid free' in those day... it's the acid content that turns the paper beige and crispy over the decades. Either way I share your keen fondness for those windowed multi-coloured kits, back then the excitement was in getting them built as quick as possible. A neighbour gave me a box of Humbrol paints to paint my kits, but more often than not I was content with the multi-coloured plastic, and just stuck the decals right onto that unwashed plastic. The copious mould release agent usually meant the decals wafted away within hours, and parts fell off soon after. That was just 'how it was' and didn't bother me becuase by then I was planning the next one.
These days when I build a vintage Matchbox kit I'm very carefull to clean all parts, check fit constantly, refine and shape any suspect parts, and then fill and smooth gaps, sink marks etc. before a whole program of painting steps. My 'end result' has improved beyond the wildest dreams of my childhood... I do enjoy revisiting these old favourites, although the excitement of 'shop to display shelf' in a short afternoon has gone.
Or is it the excitement of being a child that's gone? (rhetorical question)
