Seeing as you don't seem to be the biggest fan of Airfix, I dare you to have a go at the 1/76 scale Churchill MkVII tank from Airfix. I'm sure you'll love that one.

I’m working on the exact kit right now! Unfortunately some of the pegs for the wheel to go onto came off so that sucks but still I like air fix and I can’t wait to finish and paint it! Edit: this mode has just been a train wreck, it arrived broken and it has just been incredibly difficult to work with and the gaps on it are insane, it’s probably due to the fact that I am not great at modeling but even then I am considering giving up on this build

a nice looking kit and a very clean build for the size of the King Tiger hope to see more

It's been over 5 years since I bought this kit, I can't believe I lost my decals let alone the instructions, your video really helped me out

Great video very handy 👍

Nice build Herbert and a great video as always, well done mate.

"In the middle of painting a bigger King Tiger?" Ooo baby I'm waiting for that video! xD

I got the same 1/76 King Tiger when I got the duo package of King Tiger vs. Cromwell with paints and such. Both King Tiger and Cromwell were a bit disappointing with the way pieces don't put well together, especially King Tiger with the gap in the front hull (mine is so much worse than yours haha), but for $18 I got on amazon for the two tanks, the paints, and brushes, I think it's totally worth it. Thanks for the video - it gave me reassurance that I didn't screw up on my King Tiger :P

I've three a Airfix Churchill's you just take your time and they come out ok. Great for holding off panzer 4s, Tigers and Panthers tend to have the upper hand on the bed covers. Ha ha.

Staple rubber band tracks together and then paint them. This is a good kit to be honest. Cheap and you can build it in a day. I've made a few of them and would recommend them for new modellers. If you want a challenge, then get the flash off the Buffalo!

Well I'm a subscriber dude! I followed your guide as the instructions that came with the model were rubbish. This guide helped massive so thank you!

Odd that you put the tracks on before painting the wheels. Any tips for building a turntable for displaying a model? You modelled the hull machine gun in the hull ball mount. This would be the same machine gun in the AA mount, so you would not have an MG in both positions at once.

Nice build for a airfix kit

Most airfix kits today are like this apart from the 1:72 planes with are amazingly detailed : )

You have been building old airfix kits which had very old tooling the newer kits are far far better

Monogram tank kits, especially the M48A2 Shermin, have the same connection for its vinyl tracks which nearly tore off the suspension arms.

If you ever want to do it, mind doing any World War 1 tank reviews? Like an Emhar or Flames of War set? Ok bye :3

I put the tracks around the wheels before gluing them

Nice

AIRFIX HE111P IS A INCREDIBLE KIT!

I want to buy this kit but i can't seem to find it anywhere.

I haven't seen Cat 9 batteries for years. I thought Everready killed that line when they started the Energizer branding.

the title says 1/72 whereas the box and description say 1/76. anyway.. Nice kit right?! the reason this is good and the sherman is so.. bad.. is that this kit is fairly new and the tool for the sherman has been round since the early 1960's. Airfix is always a bit hit and miss but the more recent kits are generally pretty good. Coincidentally i just finished painting this King Tiger and it paints up quite well, im quite pleased with how it turned out :)

Nice build. This is a much better made Airfix kit. Bill

I believe that is known as as the Henschel turret.

airfix panzeriv is superez it was my first kit and i had fun

buy a kit from Revell they are pretty good. specially the king tiger.

good

I have a King tiger 1/76 to but with a later war turet

Which glue did you use for the tracks?

they made the muzzle brake separate as it wouldn't be possible to get the same result with an injection mold

that was my first ever kit...I flopped terrible

Nice video and a rather nice kit. I really expected worse from Airfix after having built two kits from them.... Really a shame they have rubber band tracks :/ Those hardly ever look good, they're just too "springy" :( Btw, if you want to build an outstandingly excellent tank kit in 1:72, try to find one from the chinese (yeah, not joking here) manufacturer "Flyhawk". They only have a few Pz I and II plus rare french tanks right now but more are said to be coming soon. Hardly anyone knows the manufacturer, but their kits are great, maybe the best I've seen (in this scale at least) yet. You notice it the moment you open the box, it's joy in cardboard. Oh, and.. First :D haha, always wanted to do this lame thing.

I Bought Recently The Same Kit for 6,-€..., It Has Good Quality for It's Age.

this is my first kit. kinda wish id done it how it was instructed lol, wouldve saved alot of hassle! oh well, have learnt for the next one.

Should you paint some parts before assembling the entire tank?

I Now it is Agnes since you made this video But How much did the kit cost?

The Airfix 1/76 British Mark I Male/Female Is Good As Well.

That pistol port part on the side of the turret couldn't be molded as part of the turret because it would cause an undercut in the mold that would prevent the part from releasing from the mold. For a bad Airfix kit, don't get the Panther. For a good one, I have the Matilda II with hedgehog mortars. It looks nice in the box. I built the Airfix Panther and it is bad. I used tracks off of a Fujimi Jagdpanther because the Airfix ones were such crap. I did a ton of scratch built detailing and did a bunch of resin copies of tools and such. Don't ask me why, because I have no idea. Now I have a really crappy Panther with nice details. Oh, the Fujimi tracks broke into little pieces after a year or two because of the solvent based weathering I did. Now I have a really crappy Panther with nice details and tiny bits of crumbled track super glued to the wheels more or less in place.

muito bom;

Try airfix Cromwell mk4

Even when Hans farts lol

Try airfix m3 grant

it's a shame that most Tiger II models use the Porshe turret :/ I've always felt the Henschel turret looked way cooler :(

Sorry Herbert, I owe you an apology. That is supposedly a Porsche turret. I had such a fleeting glance at the turret that as it flashed on and off screen screen, it did look like a Henschel turret at that angle.

Don't build airfix tanks if you want the good stuff, build really any aircraft thats not in the Vintage range. great fit and details

Rubber band tracks are always something I don't like. But apart from that this kit really nice. By the way: I am happy that you didn't add this wheel-joke to the "arsenal-of-jokes" you do again and again... eh... yes... no...? No!

Zvezda - I’d but it’s king tiger over this one.

It's only ever aussies that seem to have a remarkably bad time with airfix...

I think 1/76 is too small for a tank and 1/72 is the smallest i go

The P turret was actually a prototype. Approximately 150 were built

I may be the only one here who likes rubber band tracks, so long as they're done decently. I'm just too impatient for link-and-length tracks, and it's easier for me to paint rubber tracks. Do I deserve forgiveness? D:

the turretis made by porsche tough

Why did Airfix retail both 1/76 and 1/72? Bit crap for dioramas, wargaming and general collecting.

Your voice - you sound like a computer, are you using a computer to make the audio? Have you tried modulating your voice so that you don't go up and down in tone in the middle of a sentence? It is so jarring and unnatural it makes you sound if you really are a bot. Apologies if not. PS. It improves later as you start making the model. Becomes a little more normal and human. PPS. A good review.

6:09 urgh yuck

Why make a video if you don't want to finish the kit???

I hated this kit. The tirret was made by porsche but their prototype was not accepted but because they already had 50 made, they were used on Krupp made tanks

You use the word 'pretty' far too often. It shows a limited vocabulary. Try other words on occasion such as 'quite' or just omitting the word altogether. Varied vocabulary would make your audio more pleasant to listen to leading to more subscribers &c.
