What a lovely little kit!

I recently was able to source the old kit and am planning on working that one soon. It was a lucky find on eBay and came with a small extra (Winter Resin Crew from a different manufacturer). Thanks for going through this newer version of the kit.

I have this kit. The pilot needs a cushion under him to get him up in the cockpit. You need to trim the fuselage sides to get his shoulders up. Match the illustration

as a kid i had 7 of these :P

It transpires that the Airfix kit is not a MK1, but a MK2 supply tank. Airfix, back in the 1960s went to Bovington to measure, and photograph their “MK1”. But it was actually a MK2 with the wheel assembly stuck on the back. Bovington have since acquired a true MK1. The MK2 supply tank, has a hatch on top of the cab, and no tail wheel assembly. So it is possible with a little research to build two different marks from this kit.

Had one of these but the silvery rubber band tracks melted any of the model parts they came in contact with…. Shame

Another relaxing video, thanks … love your channel.

I have one of those kits within arms' reach. I think I'll make it tomorrow.

My thoughts. I don't think sloped armor and cast turrets were done because Soviets were geniuses at armor ballistics. I think they did it for economy of materials. Saving costs kept one out of Siberia. Great job on the vintage kit. Hope to see more. Bill

Aifix Universal Carrier mainstay of my armies

Did they or you give it a posh scientific name?

I don't get models bought for me anymore since it was a Christmas about 10 years ago when someone started this whole thing off again and foolishly bought me some of the crappy dinky Revell Star Wars kits. They maybe good for kids but I remember being a kid and being furious at toy-like proportions and lack of detail. You don't want to know how many kits in the stash I have now and those same people are not happy with the monster they made.

Merry Christmas!!!! Cool kit for a present. I got upgrade and figure sets. Happy modeling in the New Year my friend. Bill

Nice old vintage kit 😮

Hope you feel better soon. 😊

That box artwork is gorgeous. Looking for ward to seeing the build of this one, as for me, I got the Airfix King Tiger 1/76th kit (building it as we speak).

Sorry for your illness. Hope you get better soon. A plus side....extra modeling time. Bill

Get well soon. 😊

Hope you feel better soon. Merry Christmas to you and yours. The Zero turned out wonderfully. May you get many more kits done this upcoming New Year. Bill

Merry Christmas Meltdowns 🎅 Have a wonderful time.

PS - for 2025 I suggest building the Tamiya mosquito- it’s a really good kit 👍

Get well soon and merry Christmas -

Nice artwork

I like the end result of your model very much. I did do the same kind of approach to a model by using the box art by Roy Huxley on a Messerschmitt 110. Right now l cannot make the time for making models due to my toddler but l hope next year it might be possible again.

Another great job. Maybe get a screen shot of Gorgo as a backdrop to the Ferret. Hahaha. Bill

Having fun in the mud. Great job mucking about. The vinyl screen from a storm door cut down with nibs left makes a convincing barbed wire. Bill

Great job. Even with inaccuracies, it's just plain fun to build a wonky kit. I built the 1/35 Nitto Kettenkrad like that issue. Not a good representation of the original, but it did have separate tracks.....not like the Tamiya ones. Bill

Awesome job on the Zero. I like the paint scheme and weathering. Impressionism is a bold colorful style. Merry Christmas from the States. Bill

Well done with the Zero especially the cockpit framing. I think the other kit you are thinking about. Is the Dinah as I remember Airfix did that in 1/72 scale as well.

Your machine guns are the landing legs.

Yes the green one in the tank museum is from Finland 🇫🇮 they painted them green i like the green one as well

It only 'looks' orange due to Roy Cross correctly showing late evening photography. It's black....or at this scale very dark grey.

"It has some markings..." Why are these painted markings US stars? Was this British tank being used by US crews or was the star a single signifier of the tank being "allied?"

First one I bought, cost me 15p. On a blister card. I made a couple a few months ago, and I have to say, they both went together beautifully. Not really liking desert colours, mine were painted in a generic European Theatre colour scheme: green, and covered with muck, basically. More stowage and some crew figures added. Oh, and 'Khaki' is an Indian word, which means 'Dust'.

Always room for a STUG. I doubted the green colour for years and years until I went to Bovington.....

I well remember this old banger and how the wheels would not stay in place. I remember it being dark grey plastic but then I am colour blind😊.

I'm going to make one next luv this old kit....You did a great job and your videos are always entertaining 👍👍

Also, id like to see Airfix do a version of this with the one piece running gear and tracks a la their tiger and firefly, i could build loads of them then and use them for a wargame or 2

memory! i realized this kit during 1974 or 1975 and at this time , it was a good kit for 4 francs , in france !

I love Stugs, i remember seeing this as a kid and being somewhat awed at its unconventional look. I had the old blister pack version in green plastic, i loved it then and I love it still

Well tidy mun.

Very nicely done.

Great job luv it 👍👍

It would be nice if they produced the saracen apc ,stalwart truck

It is interesting seeing it without the wheels on. First time I have been able to see the actual shape of the armoured body so clearly.

We had ferrets in the Canadian army but no turret.😊

This was the very first plastic model I ever build some 50 years ago, and i still remember it. I remember my parents were going away and I was to spend the weekend at my grandmother, and before my parents left, I got this little model to have fun with during my stay. Obviously it made some impression on me, and hooked me. But I guess the result of this model was terrible - propably more glue than plastic... Greetings from Sweden

Looks a nice kit but Airfix are too expensive for my limited budget.

Thanks for such nice video
