I admire fellow modellers who have a companion cat to supervise!
Cute. Thank you for watching my video.
Yay another qdc upload! I love that your cat is there as well to try and help build the kit😂
Thanks. My cat wants to be with me all the time nowadays. 😂
2:55 the real Königstiger

If you're wondering why there's a lot of variation in this kit, Airfix essentially asked South Korean model kit company "Academy" to rebox their already-existing M36 Jackson kit for European release (M36 wasn't the only kit that Airfix got the license to locally-produce, as they also licensed the M18 Hellcat kit for EU release).
The actual original brand where this kit was created from (which i own) has the necessary instruction to build and differentiate the Jackson of your chosing out of the 6 options you have - either you want to build it as one of the either 3 that is WW2 version between battle of the Bulge to the 1945 version , or the other 3 Post-War ROKA Korean war / French RCBEO Indochina war version.
Unfortunately, what you have construction is an M36 Jackson that was an amalgamation of not only both WW2 and Post-WW2 details, but also amalgamation of French version; most of the details checks out as WW2-period Jackson (complete with the lack of turret roof), but you instead chose the post-war M3A1 rifled gun version with Bore evacuator (which doesn't exist yet in WW2), front armor with hull MG (which was only added to all M36 Jackson that was sent to other countries like France and South Korea after WW2), and an M1919A4 pintle-mount, which is the setup that the French RBCEO mostly chose when deploying their M36 Jackson to Indochina in 1952.
However the assembly process is quite helpful to say at least, as i can use this as reference and note when i start to assembly the M36 kit.
Buster has to be the most well behaved putty tat I have ever seen, sits next to the kit and doesn't even try to swipe it off the table, what a good kitty ! Excellent job on the Jackson Colin, I might even have a go at one of these Academy/Airfix M36 Jacksons myself.
😃
I got a few chuckles from your "building supervisor"! Great looking job on the M36!
Thanks Russell!!! 😃 My cat, Buster, wants to be with me all time nowadays. My next project is building Academy B-29 bomber. Take care. 😃
What a pleasure to watch one of your videos again, q! Way to relax on a Sunday afternoon 😊
Good to see another great video, complete with the dipping bird on the window sill. An instant classic! Glad your cat helped out too.
Thanks!!! I love the drinking bird and my cat. Lately, my cat has been wanting to hang out with me more and more. My next kit will be the Academy B-29 bomber.
Finally another build! 🙂
You're welcome. My next kit is the Academy B-29 bomber. 😃
Honestly, the way you edit your videos is so relaxing that it makes me bit sleepy 😌, things aside, awesome build as always!
You're welcome. I a pretty mellow guy and it shows in my videos.
You have done a good job Q, of painting and weathering this kit!
Thanks Mark. My next project is the Academy B-29 bomber.
Great model.Very nice work, like to build it to .. greatings to you and your beautifull cat and thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your kind words 😃.
Great built again Sir! Your cat is a cool addition to the video!
Thank you for your kind words 😃
I think the cat built the kit... you're just taking the credit!! ;) Beautiful model as always and thank you very much for another great entry for the 'All Things Airfix Group Build'.. :)
😂🤣😂 Funny! You're welcome and it's my pleasure! I plan to do more from your group. It's fun!
Nicely done Colin. Great result
Thanks! 😃😊😁
Beautiful model Collin
Thanks for watching! I'm on a new project. I'm trying to learn to use Alclad metal paints. I want to use it on my ultimate project of building Academy B-29 bomber. 😃
Love to see your videos pop up in my feed!
👍😃 Thanks!
awesome build.
Great job on the weathering, you made the kit look so real.
Thank you for your kind words. It was fun building and painting this model kit. 😊
Very nice job. The painting and detailing is very well done.
Thanks!!! My next project is the Academy B-29. 😃
Great painting work
Thank you!!! 😃
Glad to see your cat helped you. One of my cats always helps me (I think he is addicted to the glue), and so makes it take twice as long. Couldn't do it without him.
Cute 😉. Lately, my cat wants to be with me everywhere I go in the house.
Came out great sir! I really enjoyed following along!
You're welcome. My next kit is to build the Academy B-29 Bomber. 😃
Love the Cat, Love your builds and love your videos!
Thank you. You are a very kind person. 😃
Really enjoy your quality build matched by your video presentations. Much prefer this to video shorts but this is YT trying to create another monetary stream. Keep the videos coming along because you make such huge statements, both historical and political, which I can only agree with. I have missed your contribution on YT but if your mind was elsewhere over Covid, I understand. I did eventually get to see my 3 kids, just recentlly, and despite being at the coal face as Drs and a nurse in the NHS, they saw so much heartache at such a young age 24 and 23 (twins).
Cheers, Mike
Thanks Mike! I'm trying to keep my full length videos going. The 15 second shorts are convenient but will never replace the full videos. There's more to come 😊. It's really kind to say such nice things about my contribution to UA-cam. Yes, COVID has been in my mind but I think it's true for most everyone. After taking the vaccines, my life seems brighter and brighter. Recently I flew in the B-29 bomber and life seems more promising for me. It's great to hear that you get to see your 3 children again (I guess you were away because fears spreading COVID) 😊. I'm assuming that you work for the NHS. I heard so many positive and brave things you done for your country and for your people! I heard a lot UK residence put you in the highest esteem! Although I am not a UK resident, I still want to say thank you for helping your people and your country!!! 👍
@@qdc748a Thank you for the acknowledgement. Throughout the pandemic front line NHS workers were constantly at risk and it comes as no surprise lives were lost. Fortunately for my family, I have been spared this and, touch wood, pray that Covid will run its course and disappear and life can return to some sort of normality. Sometimes I feel resentful of those people who, for whatever reason, decide not to have the vaccine. I wish that they can see the damage of not having a vaccine has and the long term issues people have been left with having contracted Covid. I lost my best friend to it, a healthy, sport loving participant who died suddenly when a clot from his lung travelled to his heart. He didn't stand a chance but has left behind a young family and a widow. Anyway thank you for acknowledging the work the staff of the NHS does in trying to treat those unfortunates who have succumbed to Covid -19. Cheers Mike
Thanks QDC, great work, I been thinking about getting a M36 Jackson to build.
This is a good kit but like I said, the instructions are a challenge. 😊
I have this kit in the stash so it was nice to see how you tackled it. Nice finish. Thanks for sharing
Thanks. I hope this gives you a chance to build this kit yourself. Just be patient and use superglue too. 😊
@@qdc748a love the weathering you made!
@@zhukovarg Thanks!!!
Outstanding work.
😊👍
Great job mate , love your offsider , look forward to the next build
Thanks Chris. Buster really wants to hang out with me lately but I don't know why? My next kit will be the Academy B-29 bomber.
Looks great QDC , your cat is amazing
Nice model! I like the detailed interior. Your cute cat is just lovely! Keep building and thanks for this nice video.
You're welcome
Beautiful build! You did a masterful job of painting and highlighting, and your weathering effects turned out really nice. Thanks for making the video, I think I see an M36 build in my future!
Thanks Brent!!! 😃
Very nice work!
Thanks
You've outdone yourself again! Another brilliant build :-D
Thanks Aron! 😃
nice job on the model. I can see your operation is expanding and you have hired a new helper lol.
Thanks. My new helping hand does have a drawback. He likes to eat my work! 😂
Hi Qdc, i'm from Italy, many compliments for this model and these before, but what i really love is yr Cat, fantastic, like mine Baldo (white/black like yrs) and Lello Red flame like a Tiger! Give to him a big kiss for me!
Hoping soon to watch a new job!
Have a marvellous week and healthy life!
Thank you!!! 😃 My cat's name is Buster. I'm flattered that you think my model kit looks good. Your cat Baldo sounds like a nice cat. Yes, I will tell Buster your message for him. My next kit will be the Academy B-29 bomber. It's a challenging kit because I need to figure out a way to paint the bomber shinny like a mirror. Wish me luck. I wish you and your family safe from COVID. 😃😊
Wow, now i know why do you said that you building this kit slow. This is extremely detailed. Nice work Collin!
Thanks for watching! Yes, it's a complicated kit but it was well worth building. 😃
Nice build 👍
Thanks for watching!!! 😃
Very nice build, and fun tune at the end! :)
You're welcome 😃
I have done the M18 hellcat from academy and one from italeri, great kits both. Looking at this one, i may need to grab another one. Great job done building this one Colin. Looking forward to see your next project. Thanks for sharing, take care and keep up the good work.
Thanks Damon!!! 😃 Although the instructions from Airfix is poor, the kit itself is really good. Also, it wasn't that expensive either. I purchased it for $38.00. Comparable kits that has a good interior cost more so this is a good value for the money. 😃
@@qdc748a indeed the price is nothing compared to takoms or rfms kits
great job on the build qcd
Thanks Kevin!!! My next project will be Academy B-29 😃
Job well done! Your videos always satisfy my hunger for scale modelling, the way you paint and weathering it makes the model look alive like it was in real life. Please always update us on your next project in your #shorts I can't wait for your next project.
Thanks!!! My next project is the Academy B-29. I hope you will like that too. 😃
Very well done Collin! The M36 Jackson is an impressive vehicle and only recently i found out that it was kept in service in Yugoslavia until 2001. I made a video about that, it is not yet released though.
Thank for watching my video!!! I didn't know that Yugoslavia kept it in service until 2001, interesting. I must see your video when it comes out. 😃
Great build David ! It looks easier than the AFV Club M-10 , It fought me all the way. Lots of warpage ! Hope all of you are doing well. Buster looks great. Have a great / safe weekend .🐱👤
Thanks Tony!!! This is a good kit but the instructions doesn't do the kit any justice. Sorry to hear that your M-10 was plagued with warpage. 😃
Cute cat
Thank you! 😁
Oh yeah I was just playing Scott Joplin on my piano the other day...The Entertainer.
Joplin is a classic!!! You can never go wrong with him. Joplin music is free on UA-cam for you do download. 😃
Watching your vids since 2016 and i really enjoying watching your model kit builds. Awesome as always!
And btw, what a cute cat you have! ☺️
Thanks!!! It's cool to know I have a loyal fan. My next project is the Academy B-29. And thanks for the compliments for my cat, Buster! 😃
I'm excited about your next build! Will definitely wait for that! 😊
And hello, Buster! 😻
@@BLastoiD27 👍😊
Nice model with the extra of participation of your cat, nice!!. Interesting model because remember us the facts in the Battle of Bulge, sure that saw action in the crucial battle of Bastogne. Keep smiling and go ahead!!!
You are so nice to say that!!! 😊 My cat has been hanging out with my constantly lately like glue. I don't know why? Yes, Battle of the Bulge is an important event. 😊
@@qdc748a Well, my cat, Pancho, do the same when he want receive attention or eat something extra, is his way of call your attention quickly. He was funny examinating the pieces of the model, sure had the idea of that they could be eat.
@@Feliciajudo 😃 I think Buster wants a combination of love and food. He wants my attention and also it's kind of a way to harass me for food. He loves food. I think Buster is like your cat Pancho. He was thinking about eating my model kit 😊.
@@qdc748a LOL well yes, is normal because the cats are naturally curious, always exploring..But he look cute and obedient and very fluffy. Will be interesting see your next project, maybe elements of the Battle of Bulge..Panther of Germany, Firefly of Great Britain, or maybe a Kubelwagen
Very nice build. More parts than I expected. I find Academy instruction sheets sometimes unclear too, I guess Airfix adopted that.
I love the sound of your clock, it’s soothing.
Looking forward to the Superfortress build 😉
Thanks!!! 😃 This was a complicated kit but it was fun to build. My next kit is the Academy B-29 bomber. It's going to be challenging too. The hardest part is to paint it shinny like a mirror. I ordered Alcad paints to get the look and it should be coming soon. Once I get it, I need to practice my painting skills on other kit to get it right. Wish me luck on painting. I need it. 😊
Nice Kit, nice Cat! I have the same kit, I have a different cat
Cool! 😃
Nice
Than you for watching 😃
@@qdc748a my pleasure; keep up the good work
Cat made me a little nervous when it almost started to nibble on the plastic. Lol
Buster is always hungry!!! 😂
@@qdc748a I can get that, I got three cats of my own. Ha ha
@@tdgofficial6287 😁👍😂
Noiceee
👍😃
Great build as always! Will you also add figures in the diorama setting?
Thanks. Probably not. I want to focus my attention to the Academy B-29 kit I just bought. I need to practice on painting the B-29 to look shiny like a mirror. I ordered Alcad paints to get the look. I need to practice on a separate model first. I plan to make a video on that. Wish me luck!!! 😊
Seeing the crispness and exceptional quality of the plastic makes one realise just how crappy Airfix's own soft plastic is. Regardless of how accurate or innovative their kits otherwise are, the poor quality of the tooling & plastic lets them down.
I agree that Airfix does have a reputation of using older technologies or re-releases of their classic kits but they are trying. I think this joint venture with Academy is the step in the right direction.
@@qdc748a yes, and I would certainly hope that they would release more kits that are made in Korea. The new kits are still nice, I got tens of them in my stash (more than any other brand), and Beaufort mk I on the way. Sometimes you just wish that it wouldn't be necessary to scrape and clean every single parts, and guess where the kit part ends and where the burrs and seam lines start.
Hi , great work. I was wondering what airbrush set up you use. Cheers
Thank you. I used an old Paache Model H airbrush. It's old but it still works very well for my applications. I just used it applying Alclad paints for the first time and that old airbrush done the job flawlessly.
Also qdc, do you have a video on weathering tips? If not it would be great to see a weathering tips video come up sometime :)).
Amazing job like always !
I was wondering what type of drill you use in @4:51 in the video ?
Thank you!
Excellent results qdc! 👍👍 Were there any fit issues, or gaps that had to be filled & sanded? 🤔
BTW, it was fun to see the kitty with the kit. Your black & white cat is cute....you did a wonderful job pre-shading him/her! 😉😁😂
Hi Derek, the instructions were poor when it comes to using other options. When I added the bow machine gun, it altered the fit of the upper hull to the lower hull. I had to use a grinder to grind some of the plastic off of the right hand side transmission area. Take a good look at the interior, you can see the grind marks that I've done. The only filling and sanding are typical areas all kits have such as the gun barrel and the two halves of the turret. But most of the alterations was from inside the tank. I hope this helps 😃. Thanks for my cat and my paint job 👍
@@qdc748a Thank you for the detailed response. Much appreciated! 😀
@@derekbaker3279 You're welcome 😁
so fun to build. can you make it motorized ?
Thanks. Not this one. I don't think you can get this motorized unless there are significant modifications. 😊
@@qdc748a yeah..hahaha
It plays like a bad 1950s film, Attack of the 50 foot Cat... I've said before how do you get the kits to click together...with no glue? Nice work!
🤣 Thank you. 😃
it is academy model mould
I know that 😊
I dont know how you do it. If I cut anything off the sprue like you its half a day on my knees looking for it......lol
😃 Hi, Peter. This hobby requires a lot of patience. I have occasionally dropped a part or two and it takes time to find it again on the floor 😂
Hi QDC....
A very nice Model kit....😁
I like the way you did your Videos a lot 👍💪
But maybe you remember at me....
Why do you make so short Videos.... 🤷♂️
You have a lot of work with this very nice Model!!!
And we can see just 13 min... 🤷♂️🤷♂️
It's not worth it.... 🤦♂️🤷♂️
Hi Mike. Thanks. I've been doing the short 15 second videos just to let my audience know of my progress of this kit. Some of my audience finds it convenient to know my progress. However, it will never replace the full video presentation like this one. 😊. I normally have my videos run anywhere from 12 to 20 minutes. I found out that people's interests in my videos are about that time. Any longer, people will start losing interests. 😃 But occasionally, I will make videos longer than 20 minutes. Take care
Thanks for the answer 🙋♂️
Have a great day...
Greatings from Vienna 🎡
@@mikesmodellbau7294 Vienna! I never been there. I should visit your country 😃
Looks great as always. Curious do you ever watch other modelling channels who get really anal about their pin washes, filters and chipping, and try to incorporate that in your builds?
Thanks. I've returned to this hobby ten years ago and I gotten to a point in my hobby to just do what I like. That being said, if you suggest any videos on UA-cam I will be happy to watch it. Take care. 😃
@@qdc748a my fav channel is Night Shift. He definitely takes his builds to the extreme with minute detailing and is very fun to watch 👍
You should glue your cat because she too naughty.🤣🤣😂😂
🤣😂
Looks like your helper got bored with the instructions. Nice job
Buster always think from his stomach 😃. Lately he's been wanting to hang out with me like glue! Thanks. 😊
Your M36 has been cat scanned
🤣😂 Funny!
yes came out great thare and yes the fuzzy co star a must get that treat yes good all the whay round QVC see as post new now treat that star of show LOL
Thanks 😃
Great model kit build! Keep up the good work.
Thanks. My next kit is going to be the Academy B-29 Bomber.
