Tank Time! Tamiya M48A3 and Tiger 1 1/35 scale built model reviews
Today we're looking at something a little different, two 1/35 scale built model tanks from Tamiya. The M48A3 Patton and Tiger 1 Mid-Production are some of the less complex and more affordable tank kits available today, so let's see how they turn out.

1986 Chevy Monte Carlo SS Built Model Review Revell 1.24 Scale
Переглядів 6022 роки тому
Today we take a look at my build of Revell's 1986 Chevy Monte Carlo in 1/24 scale. This build was inspired by the TV show breaking bad, though it does not recreate any particular car featured in the show, it's all about the look :-) I replaced the included wheels and tyres with a custom set from Revell's 1970 Trans Am kit.

Built model review: 1980 Jeep Honcho by Revell in 1/25 Scale
Переглядів 4062 роки тому
Today we take a look at my latest build, Revell's 1980 Jeep Honcho 'Ice Patrol' in 1/25 scale. A very fun build, with nice decal options and even includes a model snowmobile (which I didn't build). It includes a set of big off-road tyres, a fairly simple engine bay and some parts which are pretty much optional, like the rollover bar and front bull bar (I didn't fit the bull bar to my build).

This time, I take a look at my built 1/24 scale 1971 Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R by Fujimi. This is a kerbside model with no engine bay detail, but builds up nicely with many nice detail parts. I replaced the kit wheels with some after market Aoshima 17-inch Watanabe alloys.
Revell 1971 Plymouth GTX 1/24 Scale Fast & Furious Model Kit Unboxing
Переглядів 8983 роки тому
This time we take a look in the box of Revell's 1.24 scale 1971 Plymouth GTX kit, released as Domenic's car from the Fast & Furious movie series. This kit enables you to build the car from the movie, complete with new wheels, or build a stock '71 GTX. It doesn't tell you this on the box, which is why I was so surprised to find the stock parts :-)

This build was made using the AMT Mod Rod kit, which includes parts for two complete builds including this stock version and then various hot rod options to create a complete second car. Paint is Ford Ivory White aerosol with Humbrol gloss black fenders. Overall I am impressed with the level of detail in this old AMT kit.

    Looks good! I have one of these in my collection...actually 2, one I bought that was built up but broken, and another that is a full kit, but it is missing a few things. I'll have to cobble them together to make one good one. To answer your question, there is a Phaeton and a car known as a Dual Cowl Phaeton. The Phaeton does not have the windshield behind the passenger seat, but the Dual Cowl Phaeton does. Good suggestion on starting on the one side to get the alignment correct. I'll consider building mine that way. It would be cool to get a small piano hinge between the two hood pieces. Then you can make your hood open along the seam line.

    Well done! Almost finished this model myself, and so far very pleased with it. Could have done with lenses for the lamps instead of decals, and you need to keep comparing the instructions (some of the the arrows point to the wrong location points) with the correct version of the tractor on UA-cam, etc (especially with the front wheel support brackets). When you open the box there doesn't appear to be much in it, but I'm sure those with a lot of patience and dexterity, this Ferguson will prove to be well worth the build!

    Nice kit but you do not compare the accuracy to the real thing. It's one failing in my opinion is the inaccurate hood/bonnet shape, having had the real thing it is an awful shape and gives the car a more bulbous shape to the front, a fault that even the Modelhaus (US resin casters) did not correct.

    Thanks for the review. Whats interesting is my Revell 1:24 kit i bought a couple years ago (which is about the time you released this video) does not have the Trans Am decals for the front fenders or the back of the trunk spoiler. Might have been that trademark issue. Too bad for me though as I might have to find this kit just for the decals as I want it to look correct and match my 1:1 Doh!!!

  • @Iggy_Torres

    Nice review, however I disagree this is a good kit. The one I got seemed to be misaligned during the sprues molding process which meant that most of the parts where misaligned and didnt fit properly. the chassis did not aligned correctly, the bonnet and boot of the car did not followed the lines of the body no matter what correction and putty I put in. I posted this kit in a few car model groups and they all agreed this is a rebox of an old japanese kit from the 80s. All in all, pricey and awful kit to build in mown experience. perhaps yours came out nice. All the best!

    Some of the available VW models are very well detailed, even on the inside. Kind of sad really, that you can't see much of the interior once the model is finished. I'm currently working on the Tamiya 1300 Beetle, am very tempted to cut a ragtop sunroof into it just to see all the interior work I will do. If I ever get one of these cargo vans, I might see about cutting the cargo doors so they are displayed in the open position.

    Nice job! Just a few random comments: The box says 1/25, but at least one plastic tree says "1/24", which is ... strange. The body has a 427 badge molded into the front fenders. The instructions indicate that decals go over the top of them, so one assumes the molded badge should be filed off. The metal axle won't go through the engine block as the Cobra is a mid-engine design (the engine is completely behind the front axle).

    The Dodge 'Red Ram' V-8 was Dodge's first 'hemi' which was produced from 1953 to '57. For 1953-54, it was a diminutive 241 c.i., 140 h.p. The V-8 engine in the AMT '29 Ford Model 'A' Roadster kit (originally introduced in 1962) represents the motor of the 'Ala-Kart' show rod which was a 1954 Dodge hemi from a speed boat bored out to 266 c.i. featuring many speed parts including Hilborn injection.
