3/12/20 76/100 Snowmobile

Another one of Matchbox’s recreational vehicles with riders is the Snowmobile that was introduced in 1999.  The snowmobile is similar to the Ski-doo style vehicles that combine the look of a Sea-Doo in a drivetrain built for snow, all metal body in black with red front skis and the rear tracks are not moveable and instead use military disc wheels for movement.  The snowmobile does look generic as it lacks much detail, while the rider is geared up in thick clothing and a helmet, though unlike the ATV or Dirt Bike the rider is not that easy to remove.  It looks good for snowmobiling, but otherwise just seems a bit flat on design.
