Hello, John. I've been a subscriber to your channel for some months now and I must say I do much enjoy your content. As I'm a lifelong modeling fanatic at the age of 62 I particularly appreciate it when you showcase older kits. A nostalgia trip, you see. I also enjoy your model company overview series. Regarding the video you produced some 6 years ago (?) about Academy models, I have some experience you may enjoy. As an American soldier stationed in Korea early/mid 80s I found the first kits I had ever seen from this new company. As far as I am aware, this was years before Academy kits were available in the US. The kits seemed to be all Tamiya, Bandai, and Nichimo knock offs. I remember Tamiya 1/35 armor, Bandai 1/48 armor with interior detail and Nichimo motorized 1/48 armor kits all marketed under the Academy label. The South Korean economy and Academy models have come a long way since then!
