My favorite modeling video. I now have to keep a notebook handy to list the episodes for my future want and build list, of course there is something in every episode. Detailing is improving substantially and the availability of a 3D file in a kit an indicator of the fast evolution of the industry.. Thanks again for keeping up with " what's new". Hope all is well in Somerset Cheers, BOB
Thank you for your support Bob it means a lot. It’s hectic at home but still managing the time to make models and produce the update videos. Personally I am not planning on buying a 3d printer but I do know a few guys who have one so if push came to shove I could get a part printed 👍
Some interesting models coming onto the market. I don't normally build military or ship models, but these ship models really captured my attention. I'm happy to see a modern hovercraft model, and I saw the RFA Tidespring on a tour of Portsmouth Harbour when I was a child, and I actually toured the RFA Mounts Bay about six years ago (boarding it in the middle of the sea via a rope ladder, if you please!)
The IBG 3Ro looks so cool, I’m building the troop version right now. It’s my first IBG model. I’m really impressed by the detail. The fit is really good
I love this channel the feedback is amazing I get so much useful information- not having built an IBG I can go forward knowing they’re engineered well - thank you 👍
@@TheScaleModeler I have bought some Border kits and the earlier Magic Factory Corsair combo, and they're truly great kits. Besides, Border sometimes adds some gifts (a badge replica in one case).
great video...... I guess there are plenty of others models to be issued in 2024.. i did subscribed right now.. can't wait to have your next one ... from Chris, france
Thank you Chris - yes kits are being released constantly. They have slowed slightly with mid year but it will start to pick up in a month or so. The videos are every two weeks currently but will pickup once the holiday season comes to an end. Thanks for the sub 👍
I’m late to this thanks to a wee trip away,wishing I was back at my bench(ok,kitchen table)..That hotel from Italeri looks ok…50 British para’s,50 Germans,but who doing the room service.? Thanks again Jim for keeping us informed..All the best✌️🥸👍
I wondered where you were 🤔. If it’s anything like the hotel I’m in currently no one’s doing the room service 😩 you’re welcome as always take it easy 👍
Live your video updates of future release. I just purchased all 4 Gecko kits of the Vietnam Water Buffalo's, they're scheduled to be delivered this coming Tuesday. Plan to use them for a Philippines liberation diorama, maybe. Haven't made up my mind yet. Thanks for the video.
Regarding your Harrier II question. As I recall the AV-8B was a collaboration between BAe and McDonnell Douglas in the US. Is not the GR5 also an AV-8B but built in the UK? Love the video!
I’ve done some digging to check things out. You're correct that the AV-8B was developed jointly by McDonnell Douglas and British Aerospace. However, while the GR5 is a derivative of the Harrier II family, it was specifically developed by British Aerospace for the Royal Air Force with different avionics, equipment, and structural changes to meet UK requirements. Although they share a common heritage, the GR5 is not simply a UK-built AV-8B but rather a distinct variant tailored to British specifications. I highly appreciate this type of comment though, as I learn so much from them and I hope this helps
It is NOT the Austin Champ; nor is it a Land-Rover 90. It is a Land-Rover Series 1 which had a 1.6 or 2.0 L petrol engine or 2.0L diesel (with a wet (oil) air filter) and a 88" wheel base (Hence it is an 88 LR not a 90LR) produced between 1948 - 1958; it was succeeded by the series II also 88" or 109" wheelbase - the LR90 wasn't made until 1983.

My pleasure 👍

Thanks for this great info. Border's and Magic Factory new kits look promising...
In full agreement- I thought this new company did as well 👍

@@daniellabra4186I’ll take that as a recommendation 👍

Great video as always 👍 That is very sad news about Badger 3D, they seemed to be quite popular 🙁
Thank you- yes extremely I’ve no idea why I know they were snowed under with orders. I thought maybe too much too fast ????
The little British veh is a first production land rover 90
I’ll definitely stand corrected here as no where near my speciality - appreciate the feedback 👍
No, it’s a Series 1.
A few other people have said the same
I believe the answer to your question is: D spain and Italy.

Very much appreciated John thank you for clarifying this. 👍
I understand Osiris Models have some models like the ones Badger 3D printed.
Thank you- Appreciate the nod - I’ll look into it 👍
@@TheScaleModeler Cheers Jim - great channel by the way. It was only from hearting from you that I found out about Osiris.
@davidwheeler254 thank you
There are so many people that play Silent Hunter and other Uboat sims that i think there's a market for WW2 cargo vessels.
Agreed 👍
I think the answer is A
What?D
Crazy but true
D. My father has worked in that project
Easy question for you this week then 👍
Austin Champ? Errrr no, that’d be a series 1 landrover
😂 appreciated 👍
By "ceased trading" your saying they have stopped production and are out of business right?
Yes
Ibg and gecko = credit card 😂
opps -sorry about that
I think answear A
Difficult this week- D
Definitely not an Austin Champ. Thats a series 1 Land Rover
Appreciate this thank you 👍
Just for the record, no animosity, it's pronounced LAY-he, not Leeha
None taken - 100% appreciate being corrected if I’ve made an error
D
Nice 👌👍
