Best ww2 miniature series HANDS DOWN.
Brings back memories! I've had and built so many of those exact kits!
I will kerp it in mind :)
Same
Tamiya has new kits, and they are very good.
My brother and I used to build these 45 yrs ago . We divided , his allies me axis. We had 100 men each , with horses , cannons, vehicles and tanks. Americans/ British/ Russian against the Germans/ Japanese. Plus many officers including Patton , Montgomery and Rommel.
That is awesome 😀 I want my kids to have this experience to. Analog wwii pc game with imagination 😀
Great collection! I started years ago with the tamiya Africa korps & a sdkfz222. Thanks for sharing
It was a great hobby of mine in the '60's and 70's, and again in the 90's. I just don't have the steady hands and good sight to pull it off now. I also can't wrap my mind around the price increases. Tamiya Kits were always the best, though. Far better than the old Monogram ones, which were intent on going through every variation of the PZKW IV chassis.
I'd like to see you build and paint some 😃
Thanks for sharing.
i love tamiya i get them from hobbycraft the minatures are very cheap and good qualitity
I miss their old kits where they provide decals for the helmet and ranks. Sadly now a days they don't anymore :(
Actually Tamiya has released decal sets in 1/35 and 1/16 scales.
The make New 1:35
Aha, I got those sets for Christmas. Currently joining it and painting.
Cool :)
Their not strange little hats, they are steel helmets.
Hey. I like Tamiya sets, good material, perfect castings and true details, even in pre-digger sets of machine tools;) I recently bought the 35128 Livestock set. I'm happy with the choice :)
warm greetings
It's true. Tamiya does have great kits. But I have seen much better scale figures from mini art. Maybe in the future I'll show some of them, because they are absolutely astonishing. You can see the expression on the faces of people. Tamiya does like a little bit on that department. And some of the older Tamiya kits are a handful, when it comes to putting them together, especially the the barrels in the cans. I wanted to show the farm animals as well however, I could not get them from our supplier. They were out of stock :-)
Yes, MiniArt is amazing! I've been offering for a year;) A European tramcar with figurines. They are actually much better than those of Tamiya, mainly faces. They paint themselves;)
Tamiya is great quality 😎🔥👍
;D cool review
In terms of modelling the axis war effort the Germans are usually the most popular subject, which is mostlyn likely why there are more sets focussing on Germany's efforts than that of the allies
Great video buddy. Some of the new Tamiya figures are fantastic, some of 5he best on 5he market ! Miniart masterbox and Dragon are good to but I find 3specially with miniarts figures they have to be cleaned up and filled in places. Tamiya figures seem to just fall together as do their kits. Mind you I have had to do the odd bit of cleaning up. I do love the Master box figures as they have so many great themes . Hope you are well ? Stay safe buddy
Thanks for the comment @mottys military models :) I am well thank you for asking :) I've seen Miniarts figures in the Toy Fair this year, but I haven't seen Dragon ones so I can't comment. I'm a bit of a Tamiya fanboy so that's why the video was about Tamiya's little man. :D I am eager to make a diorama in the future and Place some the soldiers on it. However now I have too many projects and I have to finish them one by one before I'm going to go to that :-)
I built the Tamiya 1/35 1960s motorised King Tiger. The two crew figures were shockingly bad, more 1/48.
Started on this hobby aged 13.Always of Tamiya 1:35 scale.When buying the armoured vehicles i'd always go for the one's that have a set of figures like the M113 series,Halftrack series of the best are of the german AA unit (Flak 88 cannon or Wilberwind quad tank).Most of these figures come complete from backpacks,canteens,shovels,and the most hardest to paint and glue on are the US infantry bayonet knife.As for uniform insignias i.e. the german helmet they did have unit insignia.While we all KNOW even US military uniforms have insignia patches Tamiya forgot to make 1
Awsome im confused on one i got so im trying to find it see if missing anything
i think you should focus the camera on the plastic kits more. Just Sayin . I would like to see the newer kits.
funny vid and good memories...thanks Domo ;)
I am so jelly I love these toy soldiers
Yes good kits .I have stacks of the older kits still in their boxes. Planes. Jeeps. U.s Vietnam patrol boats.1.32. Vietnam HUEY HELICOPTERS. Also loaded of vehicles made and painted figures. Kubelwagens.Jeeps Amtracs. Axis guns cannons Qaud A.A.20mm.Etc.etc. Thanks for your video.
Modeling is like an addiction. I have about 200 kits of all involved in the war nations, tanks, trucks ...... in 1:35. If I had all the soldiers built (at some point) I think it's about 600. Good video, fun to watch.
Holly... you could open a store 😁
@@Mysmallhobby Ohhh no. It´s all mine, mine, mine, mine
Hi, And you also collect them as boxes and they are now dust-collectors??? (Like me)
@@freda8586 hello :) No the items that I review on this channel, I borrow from our hobby store :) I own very little plastic model kits. Usualy 5 tops. Mostly because I do not want to become a collector, but mainly, because I have at my disposal almost any kit that I want at any given time at the store. :) I still get excited by a model kit however, that excitement is not that prominent as in the past, since I see them all the time. :)
@@Mysmallhobby Thank you very much for taking the time to answer. This hobby of mine started when I was in high school in the Philippines.. Now, 40 years later I want to go back but my eyesight is failing me and now that I have the money, I found myself owning an amount of models and boxes collecting dust. Eventually I will be more active now since my kids are already grown up!
I buy Tamiya 1/35 cuz I find for the size of the figures the details are easily painted. Very nice. Why more German kits ? I think it is becuase their uniforms are more varied and more attractive compared to the Allied foreces. Facts.
I constantly have to explain my collection to people lol. Being an American and having a collection of 100% Nazi soldiers and armor always raises eyebrows when people see my cases in my living room. I always have to explain it's a style and performance thing, not a belief thing.
Yep, I find the German troops more appealing in terms of appearance than I do the allies, my figure and armour collection is 85% german and America's side of the war
@@timwelch175 just ignore people like that
I've been called a nazi lover for thinking a Luftwaffe uniform looked nice
@@seandavies6156 If only I could lol. If only I could...
If you're close enough to me to be in our living room and see the collection (as I don't post my work online) then you're like family to me.
I've actually warned a couple but it's more fun sometimes to SEE how they react first. Do they get it, or do they assume? Lol
@@timwelch175 yes 😁
Japanese were Axis too but they didn't care that much about their ally Germany and the feeling was mutual. Each one fighting his own war in his own corner. Sure there were diplomatic exchanges and Japan was interested in the more advanced German equipment but that was about it.
Is there anything like this for the Civil War and earlier?
Hi Austin. I do believe that ICM made such scale figures in the past. I do not know if they still making them.
Do you know if Tamiya is still producing all of these kits ? Is the Afrika Korps "Tent Set" the only known discontinued one ? These looks just as good as Mini Art. Great video !
Hi Doe Jon. As far as I know, the Afrika Korps Tent ⛺ is still available. Tamiya 35074.
@@Mysmallhobby I will look for it, that is very unique & I love the radioman - tent combination. And also, what figure kit would you recommend for "most detail" & extra equipment / weapons? The German / Soviet/ U.S / British ? I think I'm going to order 2-3 of these kits. The Tent Kit will make a great base camp diorama addition & is a must for me , along with maybe 2 others to try out.
@@doejon9424 to go with the tent, I would pick Tamiya35343, 35026, 35111 and miniart 35604
@@doejon9424 Note that you will find a similar radio man + tent in the Italeri #312 VW Typ 82 Kübelwagen set, including Rommel pondering about the message the radioman will have to transmit.
Oh my god, you bought so many of the Tamiya figures sets, do you collect all of them?
BTW, it will be much better if you will slow down the speed of waving each box to let us have a more clear view.
Hi @romk.m.1081 :) No, I don't own any of these figures. I borrowed them from the shop that I used to work at. Only for reviews :)
I haven’t watched the full video so I don’t know yet but is paint included?
Hello Captin, no there is no paint included. The mjority of model kits do not offer panit in the kits. Only special model kits (SETS) that explicitly advertise pait, have them.
@@Mysmallhobby No glue either.
If I was to build a diorama.would I need to buy all 1.35 scale ? . If I buy a tank in 1.35 scale. What size figures would I need ?. Does all one 1.35 sets go together. Thanks . Usually paint 28mm bolt action . But seen tamiya set lately but dont no much about them .enjoyed ur video very helpful 👍
Hello Hamburgerhill162 :) that's a long name :-) Thanks for the question. If you are building a diorama and you're using 1:35 scale vehicles, than anything in the same scale is appropriate. Think of the scale as how many times smaller the item is compared to real life size. So if a tank is in 1:35 scale that means that it is 35x times smaller then in real life. Thus rule rule applies to the figures as well and anything marked with 1:35. Besides this is the most popular scale for model builders, because there's an abundance of vehicles especially armor and figures. But you'll be hard-pressed to find any planes in that scale. So if you wish to be more diverse, you should go for 1:48 scale. This is a much smaller scale, but you can use planes tanks and figures.
Thanks you my friend for ur quick reply. Great channel mate .loved the spitfire build aswell. Awesome skills and talent. Look fwd to more content. Iam definitely a fan .👍
Any of the kits with the modern dates are really nice esp the tank commander kit with a 2017 date is really nice and comes with the insignia decals.but the ones with the old dates on them are horrible. But the newer dates on the boxes are really nice!
I recently bought that British infantry set the figures are really nice for being tamiya so got them! Well worth the £8 buck's! I've got the field kitchen that's a great kit and the accessories for the trucks! I've managed to get get accessorie set for the famo the crane and the spade for the back and a couple of famos with trailers and the normal one! I found a load at an auction last week! I could do the same video with Dragon, miniart and ICM figures I don't normally buy tamiya figures there smaller scale than the other manufacturers 1.35 set's so never mix n match match so no use for me really!
Hi, again. Can you do close-ups of the kits?
Do you mean in general or this particular video again?
@@Mysmallhobby In this video, you mentioned providing close-ups of the figures- can you do that so I can see the details of the kits. Of course, only for kits you would like to do close-up.
@@freda8586 yes indeed :) I will consider it for one of my next videos :)
Is Tamiya still make this world war theme model kits in 2020?
Yes tamiya still sales these older kits.
@@Mysmallhobby where can i get this stuffs in Germany or online?
@@Bluelupus i recomend going to www.scalemates.com and find the kit you want. At the bottom you will find links to stores that sell that kit. You can also check out www.delko.si
@@Mysmallhobby thank you for the info
good

Dec. 28m, 2018----Thanks for the video. I have many of the kits you have, but not all. Getting back into modeling, but going for 1/35th scale zombie/apocalypse dioramas. Now I like the weapon sets as many people own and shoot the actual rifles in them and eventually will be using one of the flamethrowers against a group of zombies. The repair kits will work great in any diorama from WW 2 to today. I also have Italeri's repair shop kits. However, bought and was disappointed in the Kubelwagen kit w/engine. The bottom part of the engine and its supports are molded as part of the lower frame, with another piece being added to the top of the bottom piece. I honestly expected a separate engine that I hoped to make a silicone mold of, then cast copies in resin for use in some diecast VW bugs and buses I bought in the last year or so. Also, check figure height sizes between Tamiya & Italeri. I did after seeing an article about this on a modeling web site. The German infantry figure from Italeri LOOMS over the Tamiya G.I. Got my 1/35th scale ruler out and Tamiya's G.I. measures basically 5' 8" tall, while Italeri's are 6' tall. Haven't checked Minicraft or Miniarts figure heights yet. Checked Google and both countries average heights were 5' 8" to 5' 10". A kind of strange to mix these 2 manufacturers figures in a diorama...which is something I wanted anyway because not everyone is the same height. Only thing I forgot was to check weapon sizes. Is an M-1 Garand by Tamiya going to be the same size as Italeri's?Another problem with today's/yesterdays figures is lack of a brain. They ALL seem to be wearing a mandatory helmet whether in combat or kickin' back between fighting each other. PITA to add hair/skull to a figure via putty, shaping it, etc. Was working on modifying some of them to look like civilians, then plan on making silicone molds of them. And yes, bought some resin heads to speed up the process. And as for motorcycles, the only modern one available is by Tamiya and used by the JSDF. And too few Japanese/Korean figures whether WW 2 or modern....and the Japanese seem to be shown as ALWAYS running. Didn't those people ever kick back to have a brew or eat a bowl of rice? Got both sets of fuel drums, but want to buy a 3D printer next year. Have literally downloaded 500 to 800 free programs for things such as plates, frying pans, modern furniture, etc. Things that could be used in any diorama from WW 2 to today and something that's not really available, though Miniart does have bottles and some other things to use in a diorama.
Thanks for the comment :) A large part of scale modelling is using your imagination and being resourceful. :) I have yet to build a diorama myself, but I do intend to build one in the future. As far as the differences in figure height, it's hard to make mass production a figures different heights. So if you mix and match figures from different manufacturers, you might get a more realistic setting. :) As far as JAP soldiers are concerned it true :) I have not seen many figures at rest :)
The German Army in WW2 still used many horses .please can you show me the horse box and soldier/s that went with this small box and where I can get some . I'm in the process of building a diarama of Retreating Germans from Caen 1944
July 17, 2019----Go to Ebay, which is where I've basically gotten ALL my figures, including horses and wagons. Italeri & Miniart for example, have German soldiers walking beside or laying in a wagon which is pulled by several horses. Don't forget that Germany's army was NOT that mechanized when it came to troop movement. They relied mainly a lot on horses, bicycles and just plain walking. This is where they screwed the pooch in not being able to move a mass number of troops from point A to B quick enough. Look what the U.S. during the Battle of the Bulge. There's Tamiya's Wehrmacht figures (2 each) mounted on horses and again, 2 figures w/2 bicycles. Also, Tamiya has a field kitchen, pulled by 2 horses.
July 17, 2019---THE hardest thing so far doing my dioramas are women....or I should say, lack of them. There are a couple dozen maybe more resin ones, but most start at $8, to $18. As to plastic ones, they're stuck in the 40's/50's styles of dress. I have several boxes of Zombie Hunter, The Skull Clan, Pinup Girls and girls dressed up as maids with short dresses, etc. Modifying them takes a lot of work.

Can you imagine the reaction of the invention of these models of German soldiers who died LONG before the advent of these models.. ☠️
I have a lot of them, but not all have the same quality.
Yes indeed. It depends on when and where they were made. Not all kits are made in Japan.
Do you need an airbrush or can you hand paint them I do not want to spend the money on a airbrush I have never built little guy
Hello 👋 The good thing about the figures is that you do not need an airbrush. :) Just get yourself some good acrylic paints and you will be good 😊
@@Mysmallhobby thanks can recommend a simple kit I am working on a star wars kit now so no rush thanks again
"Allies" sure look al lot like American GIs to me.
i was 11 years old dow it i like africacorp 1s
I bought the Japanese army troops just the other day for $5
Yes, you can get them cheap sometimes :) problem takes $0.50 to make them
