Interesting stuff. I was not aware there were catalogs for model kits back then. The only glitch in it to me was I cannot tell what scale the models were, I freeze framed and didn't see scale anywhere. (some had length of model in inches, but in my head I can't calculate scale from that)

I've got the Heller kit in my stash. I'll probably never build it.

You could have been talking about me with that Roland CII i loved that little model as a kid i can remember it as clear as day . Cheered me up seeing that again.

Great video. I've been building for 60+ years and it was fun to see the old Revell catalog ! Best part was the prices ! Good old days for sure !

I have either a 1970 or 1972 Revell catalog, and you'll see where I circled some kits. I started building in the mid 1960's and don't ever recall seeing Revell cement or paints. Glue was strictly Testors and paints available were Testors and Pactra.

Revell for Ships Monogram for everything else.

I built the Nautilus, PT-boat and The Sulllivans in the late 1960's.

great fun to see this

I remember those IMC kits quite vividly. I (tried) building their "Avenger GT" kit and remember the fit was very bad and didn't do a good job on the kit (I think I was 9 or 10 at the time). One IMC kit I would like to find is their "67 Chevy Impala - I also remember building this kit and it fit together much better than their other kits.

BTW,if you have clear canopies with any issues such as scuffing,distortion,etc an easy way to fix them is to detach from the sprue and trim as needed of any flash or other molding marks,clean with isopropyl alcohol and then with a pair of forceps/tweezers give them a dip in a container of Future acrylic floor polish and allow to dry. guaranteed your parts will come out clear as crystal. sometimes a second dipping may be needed in extreme cases.

in 1976-77 when FROG "ceased trading" and went into receivership,all of their molds were sold to the Russians except for any subjects related to Nazi Germany {Revell grabbed those up} and were marketed in the west by NOVO in boxes as well as bagged kits with Russian instructions sheets and usually minus decals. some of the Russian moldings were in some pretty wacky colors depending perhaps on what supplies of plastics were available.....i,ve got a bagged issue in my deep stash of the Typhoon molded in a soft rose PINK.....! 😜

good kit for it,s time and still holds up well to this day. a simple and straightforward build. just needs more historically accurate decals but that,s what aftermarket sheets are for. on most British RAF fighters,the code letters and aft fuselage bands and many spinners were painted in Sky and some codes were light grey. red codes were more for the heavy night bombers and the red was usually the very subdued Terra Cotta brick red. even with later issues you could buy 2 or 3 Monograms for the price of a single Hasegawa.

Wow! I would love to look thru old catalogs like that. Where did you find that?

Wow, this was a joy to see!! 👏👏👏👏

The Air Power gift set didn't include the B-58. Had the F-100, F-101, F-102, B-57 & B-57. All their gift sets are very pricey these days. Thanks for the videos.

The Sherman was 1/32 or 1/35 depending on you read. All the other Revell Armor/ military range in the series at the time were 1/40. Why they decided to up the size isn't well known. Probably because they thought thought bigger is better. All their kits in this time frame were nice kits. Plus the figures were very well molded.

Great video and historical.

Very cool! I still have several model kit catalogs from the late 70s. Wish I still had my Revell “Get It Together” quarterly booklets.

Nice! (and in great condition). Yes, Atlantis really fills in the void with their re-releases. If they could find the old Aurora naval kits (like the ones acquired by Monogram), I'd probably pass out from joy.

Love the old catalogs . I still dream of owning some of those kits .Thank you for the video !!

Absolutely loved every uploaded. Thank you so much

I have the kit, It's a fun build.

I have never built a Frog kit, not sure how good they are. I enjoyed all the Typhoon kits you reviewed, soon i will build my Airfix Typhoon im thinking, right now i am building a Tamiya 1:48 scale Corsair, the Moto tug version that includes the towing tractor. I plan on doing a diorama with it.😊

For me its all about Soviet planes and tanks. The Mig-3 and the I-16 are my favorite aircrafts. For tanks its the T-26. Although I do have a big interest in the battles that occurred in the pacific. Keep up the good work!

Other marvellous review with back ground history!! Peter... I'm thinking about unsubscribing and/or taking legal action against you! 😉With your reviews, your turning me into a shopaholic😲☹😲 Just bought Hasegawa 1/48 Typhoon 09548 aka..EK183/USA (No less...WOW) and the book Typhoon And Tempest at War. by Arthur Reed & Roland Beamont. Friend greetings from across a very stormy pond.

the box art was changed the following year to the less combative variety, thus the aircraft was now shown to be taking off from an airfield.

This is another kit that I built back some time in the 1970s, and one that I was very proud of. I put a lot of effort in the construction and it looked great. Sadly, I don't know what happened to it so i only have my fond memories of it. So many of my models seem to have managed to wander off somewhere.

What a great series Typhoon Week was. Thanks. Never could find the original kit either. Had to wait till 96 to get the re-issue. Not too many Revell 1:32 in the stash (P-47D, F4U, Mosquito, Beaufighter), but I have a couple of these Typhoons!

I remember Military Hobbies, working for General Dynamics I made lots of flights to California. Didn't it have a large image of a B-17 on the building? Also Brookhurst was a very good hobby shop. Thanks for the videos.

Great intro about Beamont. What a colorful career he had.

Have a "Shot" everytime "Beamont" is mentioned .. you won't make it till the end of the video .. :)

❤ I bright this same kit back in 1966 with spittfire mk9 and p 51 D mustang❤

I built a lot of Revell 1:32 kits in the 1970's . I built the ME-109 G the Hawker Hurricane the Mustang P51-B and the F4U Corsair. I loved those kits. 😊

A fantastic kit review with some marvellous history too! I've heard about the Frog Sky base, first time I've seen one, so Thank You for that as well.

Can I be really cheeky and suggest a Bristol Beaufighter week? It is my favourite aeroplane and there are so many kits of the mark. I have a Revell 1/32 which I have dolled-up with lots of after market stuff! Thanks!

Frog kits were second rate, But the box art on this kit was nice. MT K Typhoon in full fury with a panzer IV blazing, brilliant.

The box art on this kit was so evocative. Got to check if I have one in the stash... Yet another great review, thanks!

That Roland is a thing of beauty! My dad built mine from the Dogfight Double with the RE8. Always thought it looked more modern than any other WW1 aeroplane I had and was very fetching in light blue.

What's not to like here? Superb planes (love the biplanes), hand painted markings, damages...and music! Big like!

I remember seeing these model kits at the Seattle downtown Woolworth department store back around 1972-1973. I never bought any of them with my allowance since I was into armor and ships as a kid. Good memories!!

Very nice builds!😊

I'm building one of those Roland kits at the moment!, mine is in a heller boxing though.

Amazing! 😍

Ah, such magnificent music accompanying some wonderful scale modelling. 👏👏👏

Mozart’s Symphony #40…..you share my taste in music!

Damn it! I knew I should have hoovered my carpet more thoroughly!

Keep up the good work. Waiting for more. This really brings back memories of building these kits when I was much younger. Thank You!

I believe those wheel wells are incorrect for an H model. If i recall correctly, they are supposed to be your typical wells with doors

I remember the clunky toylike Matchbox kit. A perfect target for an airgun but not much else. Did I mention that I hate most (but not all) Matchbox kits? :-)

I've been building model aircraft kits for60 years and I've never seen this brand or the damaged kit, what a brilliant idea. It looks pretty reasonable for a kit that's so old. The clear prop disk is a great idea. They are available on eBay at a reasonable price but the postage to Australia is a deal breaker.
