this is probably a given and im sure most know this but only good for plastic not resin :(

Looking forward for starcraf Siege Tank!!! ;-)

Brilliant!

JU 290

Really cool models.

I'm very happy to see Meng continue it's Dune kits and bring out larger versions of the earlier small scale ones as well as the Paul Atreides figure kit. Hopefully they will continue to produce more kits in addition to the larger spice miner and Harkonnen ornithopter just released. Love to see a figure kit of say the Baron or a Sand Worm diorama. I really liked the design of the new Harkonnen Ornithopter in the second Dune movie. I have the 1/72 Atreides Ornithopter in my stash. It would be nice if Hobbies Australia could bring in the X-plus kits as they are well designed SF and Fantasy kits as well.

The markings/decals on this kit are incorrect. The vehicles tactical sign would be a triangle, point down not a square as they were only used in the reconaissance role in the medum reconaissnce regt and the Armoured Centre. The tactical sign for a recon regt is the point down triangle. I can't for sure recall the Armoured Centre marking but I wanna say they also used the recon triangle. Recon regiments that used the MRV included 2 Cav (regular army), 3/9 SAMR (South Australian Mounted Rifles), 12/16 Hunter River Lancers and possibly other ARes (Army Reserve) regiments/squadrons. The callsigns for these vehicles in would be: 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B, 13A, 13B - A Squadron 21A, 21B, 22A, 22B, 23A, 23B - B Squadron 31A, 31B, 32A, 32B, 33A, 33B - C Squadron The first digit denotes the squadron, the second digit is the troop, and the alphabetic character the vehicle's position within the troop. So 22B is the troop corporal's vehicle in 2 Troop B Squadron. The other callsigns in troop are as follows, I'll use 2 Troop B Squadron as that was my squadron. 22 LRV - Troop Leader 22A MRV - Troop Seargent 22B MRV - Troop Corporal 22C LRV - L/Cpl or senior Digger 22D APC L/Cpl or senior Digger - this vehicle carried a the Assault Section. There was no difference between an LRV and an APC other than role. In the early days of the M113AS1 the APC carried two .30 cal MGs in the T-50 Turret, and the LRV carried a .30 and a .50 in the turrent, but in the later years the APC and the LRV both carried the .30/.50 combo. 22E - The Assault Section's callsign, mainly used when dismounted. Assault Troopers ("Salties" or "Veggies") were RAAC troopers and NCOs trained in a disomount role. The Assault Section was led by a corporal with a lance corporal 2IC. Assault Secions were/are mainly used for dismounted reconaissance but could also act in an infantry or assault pioneer capacity. Every Sabre (Recon) troop had an Assault Section (on paper) and each squadron had an Assault Troop ( 3 assault sections and a HQ elelment), again on paper, so in theory every Medium Recon Squadron had the equivilant of two infantry platoons.

The thing about the track shrouds on sprue R compared to "normal" track shrouds is that they are cut down, the bottom edge of the "rubber" does not come down to the bottom of the "aluminium" part on each end. This eases servicing at the cost of slight (at least theoretical) degredation of amphibious performance and maybe a little more dust when driving. As far as I know all Aussie M113AS1 series vehicles from the 80s and 90s had these cut down shrouds. One fault with this kit is the vehicle is not an M113A1. Australian M113s were properly called M113AS1, M113AS4. And Aussie Leopards were Leopard AS1. 'AS' being a NATO country code for Australia.

I had no idea the RAAF flew the Mariner.

I’m building it now and have nearly finished the hull and will be starting on the turret.

Junk. Used it once and the needle was blocked.

bro tell the truth, your the product owner🤣

What is the smell like when using these indoors?

Beautiful

Glad I watched this. Very disappointed in Academy. No way I would pay that price for such a low quality kit. C'mon Academy.

Good review

Nice!.. I know Revell had a 1/32 F-4E Phantom in the 70's 👍✈️

Nice one mate👍.. I didn't know the RAAF operated these planes.. thanks from across the ditch ✈️🇳🇿

Should've did Aus decals for 37sqdrn white and grey instead .

such a good video, but phones and people in the back ground make its annoying

product links would have been great

Yes, nice, however when I spent time at the Armoured Center at Pucka, I drove bothe the old Saladin Turret 'bucket' and the 1st derivitive of the Saracen Turret 'bucket', bother were a bloody nightmare, lack of crew sace in the turret, and as for driving them , lets just say they waddled around, care not to roll them was needed. But this kit is welcome

I just recently discovered these kits and I've been wanting to do some C&C RA2 models and this just scratches that itch out of the box. Thanks for sharing and appreciate the RA2 mention as the line is obviously pulling from that game. Great and thorough, appreciate the work!

oh wow that is very tempting

N gauge great had some hard to get here nice to see again.

Wow hobby boss no Tristar kit no just remodelled boxed kit again, thanks for showing kit have all of them no need to get this one for collection.

Shame they don't include the turret interior/basket as they do for the kit with theT50 turret.

The old RAAC "buckets" bring back some memories

academy's figure has been awesome last couple of years

Glad one of the first things you mentioned was how to open it, I was kinda stumped.

What is the price for the product if so where can I get this precision glue for my model projects in the long run and the extra needle tool included. Do they have them in the States or abroad and or abroad else where if so what is the mailing address to order it.

hello. This kit will be avalible in ebay?

that was a really good review. I've seen a couple of these built here on YT and they've been enough to spark interest in it. The tie downs seem a tad over the top and too big - especially in this scale, but at least they're there. Where did you get yours from?

These are still resin.. taking precautions when sanding are still needed.. just because it’s 3D printed doesn’t mean it’s inherently safer..

My question is why has nobody done the hobbyboss bergepanzer 3 build or the rfm leopard 2a6 with full interior yet apart from someone you cant understand or at least to be able to turn on CC,to understand it,its been years since those kits were out. atb I follow your builds

I agree that having the option to get these super detailed accessories is nice and does make more detailed models possible. However, I do have some concerns which I am unsure how to feel about. The first is the cost that all of this adds to the hobby. For those with the means, this isn't a problem, or at least less so. For those without the means, or with reduced capacity to pay, these options may not be available. To a certain extent this has always been the case with many things in life. But with modeling, as more and more of these details are provided and used, the expectation goes up that a model is less than complete unless it uses them. In the current contest environment, I think this could lead to non-consideration in the judging (even if only subconsciously). And for those who don't do contests, maybe a reluctance to share their work because they feel that they cannot meet expectations. It's true that what is considered incomplete by one modeler may not make a bit of difference to another, but for some modelers, this lack of concern may not be part of their makeup, meaning that they either spend the extra money, or they get discouraged and maybe even drop out of the hobby. I've noticed a trend with some modelers to prefer the older kits instead of the newer more detailed kits and the aftermarket accessories. I cannot say whether this is the result of a "stick in the mud" mindset, a lack of ability to pay, a fear of not being good enough, it's complement, a fear of messing up an expensive kit, or a genuine desire to do everything themselves. Like you said, I think these new details (or improved older technologies), are probably a good thing overall. But I do wish it were possible to make it less costly. So this is why I am unsure how to feel about this. I will say, that I do like the approach we are starting to see more of, which offering "basic", "mid level", and "advanced" versions of the same kit as long as what is not included in the basic kits has an acceptable alternative. There needs to be more exploration of this approach to see how kits can be structured to improve the modeler's choices and experience. But it is a good thing if it makes models available at lower costs.

The date of upload is kinda of ironic, as it is uploaded on the 83rd anniversary of the sinking of HMS Hood, by the time of the Denmark strait

Grabbed all three, expensive… but WOW and worth every penny.

Pratt & Whitney R-2800

Andy has a great build video of the 1/16 M10, which we know is quite similar to the Achilles. Andy gave a few really good tips to assemble the bogie wheel sets, as well as building the tracks. It's a 45 minute video, but it's well worth the time to watch, and then build.

I have literally a hairline crack in the headstock near the tuners of one of my electric guitars. Maple neck. That crack has been there for many years. There are literally hundreds of pounds of pressure.on a guitar from the strings pulling on the neck when it is in tune.. I was on UA-cam, searching for some type of a super type glue that could possibly flow into that crack by capillary action without having to drill a tiny hole in the neck.. this product has the right kind of attachments, but will it flow like water because this crack literally looks like a hair on the neck. Headstocks completely breaking off of guitar necks is not uncommon, especially with gibson and Guitars that have the most extreme tilt angle on the headstock relative to the rest of the neck. Gibson guitars are often repaired because of neck failures due to the tension caused by the strings this guitar is not one of my gibson’s, it is an Ibanez 370.. not an expensive guitar, but not a cheap guitar either.. could there possibly be some way of thinning this type of adhesive so it will flow like alcohol or water through one of those attachments by using some type of a solvent to mix with it?

Will this cause fogging on perspecs?

Is this sold in USA? I need to fix my mother’s figurines (shelf broke and fell, shattered porcelain figurines everywhere…)

Andy has great videos and sells some great products. I have several of his 1 /16 productions. I am about 70% complete on this Achilles and, like all his other kits, a pleasure to assemble

Man, you set the whole unit right on the scale. Zero Torque. The thing didn't move.

Amazing aftermarket mate! I guess every kit gonna be better with some aftermarket!

You had me at Centurion

I also find it a little bit strange. Inconsistent is what is not strange. This lazy company is consistently dumb. Every one of their kits has issues. Their 1/35 Stuka has 1/72 scale foot pedals. That is both incompetent and bone idle and thick. You keep saying great kit but it is garbage
