Build Your Own Matchbox: DIY Kits
Stripped, ready-to-paint diecast kits with their original plastic wheels, windshield or window insert, interior, and chassis. Custom wheel upgrades and painting supplies are sold separately.
Make it your own.
Compare the casting, wheel measurements and package contents before starting your next build.
Build your own custom Matchbox with casting-specific DIY kits for painting, detailing and assembly. Choose the Matchbox casting you want, then check the exact project components on its product page.
- Kit contents: Review the body, chassis and other components shown and listed for the chosen kit. Contents and original interior or window colors can vary.
- Separate upgrades: Custom wheels, rubber tires and upgrade axles are sold separately; they are not automatically included.
- Fitment: Measure front/rear wheel diameter, tire width, axle length and body clearance. A factory wheel-size reference does not guarantee every replacement set will fit.
Shipping: Qualifying U.S. orders of $100 or more receive automatic free shipping. Eligibility, delivery options and the final shipping total appear at checkout. See shipping and packing details.
Plan your Matchbox build
Confirm the listing's preparation, assembly method and required tools before starting. Dry-fit components before painting or final assembly. Select any optional replacement wheels and rubber tires to suit the exact casting.
