Yeah man I always enjoy a good story about an aircraft and its pilot. For me it makes it that little bit better when collecting a model. Its always easy to forget that there were people in these awesome looking machines and many of whom would never make it home. Thanks as always for dropping past 👍
Glad the video helps, makes me feel like they are doing their job when I get that kind of feedback. Great score on the price too, you will be happy when this model arrives. Thanks again for watching 😃👍
So do I. To be honest most aircraft, especially WW1 and WW2 usually always do. But most manufacturers don't really say much about it. It's why I try to research each aircraft and hopefully find out info on the pilot and make sure I mention that in the video. I feel at least then there story has a chance to be remembered. A lot of people look at a model not knowing anything about it, just that it looks cool. Hopefully my videos help a little in honoring them in a little way. 😀
Oh that puts the pressure on, haha. I certainly hope you like it when you get yours. Let me know what you think when you get your own. Thanks again for watching and glad the video helped in some way. 😀👍
Certainly was a crazy feat of bravery. And the man himself seemed so humble in the footage. Was a nice model too, although my propellers did not spin as freely as normal Corgi ones. But oh well, i dont sit there spinning them anyway....I haven't got that bad yet 🤣
@@heavymetaldiecast I noted the lack of waist guns and only two, not four, in the tail turret. I wonder if they were trying to make the plane lighter? 🤔
@@shinra2755 Yes the area is covered over where the waist guns would normally operate from. I noticed that on photos of real early Mk.I's. The 4 gun rear turret would come in later variants, I think the Mk.III. 😁😁👍
Great!!! Hopefully I did the video ok and you enjoyed it or found it helpful in some way. Thank you for taking the time to check out the video and comment 😀👍
@@seandavies6156 I used to make models decades ago,haha. When I had more time ahead of me 🤣. Now for me it's diecast, I don't have the patience or eyesight for models these days 🤣. Good luck with your build 😀👍
It sure is a decent size. And I always like a little story behind a model too. Even though I'm probably not the best story teller,haha. Thanks for watching 😀
If you can check out the Corgi Bristol Beaufort- a superb model - one of the finest and flown by Kenneth Campbell who was awarded the VC also for his attack on the Geneisenau; sadly he too failed to return. Great model with an emotional story of superb heroism to go with it. @@heavymetaldiecast
Great story & beautiful bird!

Thats a big one...even in 1/72.....love when they do a model of an aircraft with a story behind it.👍👍

@@heavymetaldiecast i have a funny story about an Irish pilot t(Ronald McPartland) that ejected from a Vampire T-11 after it got into a stall.
Just ordered one after watching this 😮

Extraordinary story, and a beautiful bird along with it.
