Thanks Tom. Quite happy with it

Several years ago now. Sentimental Journey is a beautiful B-17 if you get the chance to see it

Ryan is awesome. I knew you'd love the injection pins :D

Thanks Tom

The Goose has always been one of my favourites

Trying to cover some rarer planes as well as some of the more usual suspects :)

I don't mind PE if its easy. Grills over tank engines or some of the aircraft intakes. Need super glue but otherwise work the same as the plastic part. I am not a fan of PE you have to bend or shape yourself however.

Yeah I dig it

I agree :)

All good choices

Agreed

I have not experienced them, always good to know about decent kits

Thank you for the kind words

Thank you sir

I know, it was just a gag about Merlin's :) Thanks for the kind words

They are certainly different skills that don't share much in common. I would suggest going with rattle cans at the start and going with the easier paint options. Can move into the harder camos as you feel more confident.

it totally is

The Mig-15 was the start of a whole new era for Soviet aviation. During WW2 it was Yak/PE/IL that dominated and after Mig did. Jets worked well for them it seems. Still a great little aircraft with a massive gun.

They had a great many that stand out for sure.

I very much agree

Same goes for some allied/soviet tank box arts. Especially Zvezda. Even their Panther D box art contains a knocked-out burning Panther in the background.

03986 I think it is

@@GhostModels Thank you.

If specifically looking at planes I would say the easiest to build that have great detail would be Tamiya. I favour Airfix more as they have more options like pilots and gear up options. But overall quality Tamiya would be my pick.

Thank you for the kind words

They are 1980's vintage. But are still great reference material

Its still a good hobby and a good hobby for kids to get in. The Beaufighter is a awesome plane and a good choice for a build.

@@GhostModels it is indeed. I have to say it filled my time during Covid lockdown

I had forgotten about that one. Also the Dakota with all the para's jumping out if it. They knew how to sell kits back then.

Ships is one area I have not done. I don't have the patience for the fine detail work required to do them justice.

I'm building the 1/1 Bismarck 😈

@@Ethan-kp4vz I'm gonna join you on that, what's your progress?

Not quite there in the timeline yet. Been jumping around a couple of different maps. But I can do that when I get there.

In fairness some of the classic kits are 60 year old now. Certainly helps to track down the originals and not the republished ones with tired molds. But they are certainly not kits that compare to today's one. I am currently fighting with a old 1970's Lancaster from Airfix.

I think they have changed the way they do the undercarriage on the Spits and Mustang. It did look to be the weak point of the kit as it appeared to be somewhat convoluted. Sorry to hear you were missing the spring. I am not sure how good Tamiya is with replacement parts if you asked them.

Absolutely. The art was a good investment and totally stands up today

They did a great job at pulling you into the action and wanting to build the kit.

You and me both! Overall Airfix are a cool company. Thanks for watching.

I have to admit I do love new tooled Revell. But full new kits. Not updated parts or old kits released in a new box. Revell like Hasegawa tends to release old kits and go NEW! But when they actually do a total new kit they are decent. I did two of the 1/32 Spitfire II's and for Christmas I built the 1/32 Bf-109 G9 as a present and it was a lot of fun with good fit and very few issues. But I have had more than enough old Revell that have made me want to consider another hobby. The fact Tamiya has 30+ year old kits that do still build really well does speak well of their engineering. 30+ year old Airfix and Revell are a nightmare when released again.

@@GhostModels To be fair, alot of the Revell kits I have built were the older ones. I just finished a older F4 Phantom kit and F-15 and loved it. It had a few fit issues, and a little clean up, but I'm okay with that, heck thats model building. I also didn't finish an F-14 by Revell that no matter what I did to it, I couldn't get it right and stuffed it back in the box to never be touched again. They are good for the money and I won't pass one up to put in stash, but their newer stuff is better, hard to get sometimes, but I can't wait to get my hands on their new B-29..

It's when you get say a Ju-88 with all that glass and the clear parts are so used in the mold that they no longer fully form in the mold. Its not a question of fit as much as some of the clear part is missing. By that stage I wish they would retire the mold and give us a retool. As Revell like Airfix have some fun choices but some of them are very old. The B-29 looks to be a interesting kit.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching

Another one in England as well. Plus a second Typhoon and Whirlwind. Will be good to see more Lancs though. Amazing plane.

I have had good luck with Tamiya car kits that are under the 40.00 mark. They tend to be more basic what they call curbside with simple to no engine but are good starter kits. Porsche GT2 Street version was cool from memory. But they have several that are under 40.00 they have some advanced ones too which are more expensive but more complicated. Aoishima make decent kits as well in the car catagory. Stay away from Revell USA and AMT

@@GhostModels thanks!

@@GhostModels Revell USA has the most advanced catalog though. With enough patience & skills, and if you're careful with you automotive paints (making sure they are plastic compatible), you can get some truly realistic looking cars and trucks. I just finished a Hellcat kit, and had a friend come over (who also works on cars), he said that he wanted to display it in the shop because of how realistic it was. That car was also my 2nd car built, I come from a background of model trains, ships, planes, and armor. The car I built before that was not even a Lamborghini Aventador. Also, keep in mind, those "Skills" I mentioned, are mediocre, I don't even have an airbrush, most of the painting I do is usually done over the course of a month, per kit, unless it's a ship, in which case, I still got 2 to finish, and I started those last year.

No problem 👍 Its a rewarding hobby to be involved with.

I am not a tanker, I do planes and Sci-fi mainly, but I found the Chieftain to be a real pleasure to build with no bad parts to it, and it can often be found at a good price as well.

Awesome! thank you for the kind words.

No problem :)

why is that

@@wizzard_doge4203 gundam and Star Wars should be a separate category

@@adampender2482 its cool to have an opinion but some people enjoy starwars models Anyway have a nice day hope didnt effect ur mood

The Multidude Boys sometimes i wish to have that kind of attitude again

Agree, but for a different reason as you stated. Star Wars, Gundam, and Star Trek all dominate a market in which I'd love to see a 1:5000 scale Fleet carrier from Elite Dangerous, and in general, more Sci-Fi models from Halo, and other games & shows.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for watching! I am overall a lazy modeller I enjoy well fitting kits so its a fun build. So I tend to end up with a lot that are good for beginners.

The channel has been around for a little bit. I separated it from my gaming one as that made sense to do that. I don't build tons, mainly a time issue but try to get something done when I can still. I will try one of the Tigers if I can find them. i have not seen them up here yet. I like the Meng kits though they are good. I have had their 410 on my list for awhile now. Might see about it next year. I have my christmas order already for a couple of kits.

Yep the elite of the elite. tip of the spear thats me :D They are total fun. I built a Panther tank last year and it was a blast as well. Fun builds to not take too seriously.

Thanks! Will do!
