Ye boi

It was between this kit and 'jugs over Italy' P47 by Eduard.This kit lost,and i'm regretting it already.And now im going watch and weep.Have you seen Rochm Models website.Brilliant attention to detail.Twice as good as Voyager,same price,and now they are starting aircraft sets.

Do you speak german, if yes warum machen sie kein Model auf Deutsch? But nice model!

Please show us the final assembly as well i.e. the canopy, the wheels, etc.

Ditto!

Yes, history is history, the past is the past, and can't be changed, by anyone,.... for any reason!

Thank you!! There is swastika but it’s just blurred on the pictures for regional availability of the video due to the law in DE. All the best! Dusan.

Acknowledging history is conflated with agreeing with or condoning it in the present world. Banning symbols or writings does not alter what happened. If the swastika is banned, the hammer and sickle of communist Russia should be as well. Far more people killed by Stalin than that knucklehead with the F'd up mustache.....Anyway, despite the Orwellian world we find ourselves in; the model looks great. Thanks for an informative video!

dont want to offend the snowflakes

@@asrigascanbe You sound triggered.

I agree, I hate "over-weathered" models (except maybe armor, which I don't do), but contest judges love them, even demand them for awards. They should remember two important things. Ground crews had a lot of time to keep these planes neat and clean, and some pilots would demand it, or it would be their asses! And also they had a short "shelf-life" during wartime, the aircraft and the pilots who flew them measuring their lives in weeks or months, not years, for the average case!!

They might do that for future releases, who knows. Thank you very much Tom! All the best! Dusan

I like the absence of rivets on Tamiya kits. If I want them I grab an Eduard Kit, but loosing rivets when sanding some areas make me loose my mind !

Nice to hear that!! Thank you! All the best! Dusan.

Ryefield and Riich model's have some great engineering.Not the catologue Tamiya have,but a massive leap in accuracy and approach.

Do not know what this means but I am thumbs uping it anyways. +1 :)

or 1/32 builders!! :D

Or proponents of historical accuracy.

Rivet Counters

I bet there are some Yaks among them too

Or Eduard

Thank you! Dusan

right, especially materials; best cement on the market!

Revell can be a bit disappointing but man the Zvezda SU-30SM 1/72 kit I'm building is seriously good kit, fits well together, I'm very impressed. Get the Russian Zvezda kits not the Italeri kits re boxed by Zvezda. Just got back into modelling after about 15 years and never really had kit that fits so well together

Thanks for your kind words! All the best! Dusan

He does make them easy to watch. Be seeing you, gpage.

Thank you very much for kind words! Dusan

Eeeeeewwwwww yyyyeeeeaaaahhhhhh.

Riff not being paid but Tamiya provided everything. Regardless I’m jealous. Tamiya makes incredible kits and their paints, tools and pretty much everything else is spot on. They could spoil me anytime, I already pretty much own every tool, paint and aid they have but please feel free to ship some my way. 😉

They are far from best.Look at Riich models 1\35 universal carrier £30 ,and Tamiya's.There range is there forte.But Dragon,Ryefield,and Zoukei mura are better engineered if more challenging.

Never heard of Ritch and have have read reviews on Dragon and Zoukei Moura which are critical of their fit. You mention more challenging as well Tamiyas latest newsmotorcycle models have perfect fit as do their aircraft models. I stand by my comments. Thanks for your comments.

Ive built about 20 Dragon model's nearly all armour,usually the more complex kits.Instructions are an issue,but fit,never.ZM tolerances in 1\48 are a pain,like WnWs,but in 1\32 are fine.I detail intensely,and use 'citadel air which is very thin.I usually use graphite from soft pencil's over matt black for engines,instead of metal paint,keep's tolerance low.Nigel did review RIICH universal carrier.Ive also built Tamiya,or did.If i built motorcycles Tamiya would be my go to.They even show you how to scratchbuild certain parts.The aircraft are good,but need PE upgrades for 'detailing' to the level i want.I have a lot of time,so building is my main focus,and lack of space limits painting time.So im not knocking Tamiya,just not saying that there as fantastic as some people claim.Since i was 11 ive forgotten how many Tamiya kits ive built.But when i returned to modelling i built 1\35 Cromwell and a Jagdpanzer L70,next kit was Dragon and never looked back.But im easily got by Metal barrel's and bits of wire and Photo etch.Just used cellophane as glass in Eduard 1\48 instument panel,looks just like glass.Good luck with the plastic.

@@darronhedges5873 I have only built 3 tanks. All from Tamiya and found that adding photo etch did nothing to enhance their models. To me, their moulded detail is quite superb as is their fit. I have read some criticism from rivet counters on accuracy in some areas, but to me it is irrelevant and of no bother. The first one I built was their T34/76. Added Eduard photo etch and metal barrel. Decided the effort was not worth it. Did do metal tracks on this one and they are a definite and noticeable improvement over the kit tracks. You get realistic sag in the top run of the tracks. The other two kits were the Abrams M1A2 and the desertised Challenger 2. The M1 has a metal and resin barrel but again I feel the kit barrel looks every bit as good if assembled and painted properly . Started metal tracking the M1 but gave up because one does not see the top run of the tracks . Same comments apply to the Challenger but that one is OTB. Have not built any Dragon models. Just a further comment. I built Tamiya's 1/32 Spitfire Mk IXc a couple of years ago and that model is quite simply the best model I have ever built. I felt super detailing it was quite unnecessary the detail is so good. I build anything that takes my fancy and I suppose Tamiya's product range covers most of my needs, so, yes I am biased towards them. Anyway thanks for the comments and maybe I will have a go at one of Dragon's armour products. I fancy the Tiger or Panther...

Each to thier own.I like hardcore dance music and Billy Holiday.Have a look at ROCHM model's website,you may see further into your future in modelling.I know what i like,and i like what i know......

Right, Very impressive paint work! And he shows off by doing it all left-handed too!! LOL :D

Was thinking the same thing. Cheers.
