*Congratulations to Angel from Macedonia and Michal from Poland - you were both selected at random for the giveaway!* Thank you very much to everyone who emailed. Unfortunately I don't have enough time to reply to all of them, but I'd like everyone to know that I really appreciate the kind, encouraging comments and it was great to see some of your talent in the attached photos :) Keep up the great work everyone!

I was leaving my grandparents's house when i saw an 1/35 untouched fw 190 box sitting ontop of a garbage bin. Best day ever

Now I think about it, scale modeling isnt really about building kits. Its actually about building a tower of unopened scale model boxes in your room.

Hello owen! I am new to scale modeling and i have recently purchased my first starter kit set from airfix and i can't wait for it to arrive. You are the reason why i wanted to get into scale modeling! After watching your videos and several other youtubers, i knew that i had to get into this hobby, thanks again!

***GIVEAWAY CLOSES AT 12PM GMT ON 22 JULY 2018*** due to high volume of emails. The two people selected will be announced on Quick Kits social media at that time and contacted via email.

12 and no more says my Mrs lol

Hey wen - hi from New Zealand. Ive got 13 kits in my stash and about 7 in various stages of completion. Love your channel - its an incredibly useful resource and I appreciate the reality of your builds - ie just like the rest of us do it, only better!

I have one kit (which I'm currently building) which is a UH- 1C Huey (1/35 scale) . I started building it and as it is my second model I thought I would go all out but slow. Each peace is being sanded and filed down by hand (it took me 4-5 hours just to prepare the four personnel!) Thank you for all your very educational and entertaining videos.

The Stuka was as one of my favourite kit and it all fitted together very well apart from a ejector pin mark inside the cockpit

I have built the gant before and it went together quite nicely only need a little sanding here and there

Hey that airfix Stuka is the model I just did! My first in over 25 years and your channel was a huge help 🤙🏻

Nice in box reviews. Going to do a pictorial one myself later today on the unofficial Airfix modellers forum. I just got the Roden AN12. a superb looking kit. I really need to sort my stash out. There must be somewhere over 600 kits in the loft. All the best. Greg.

Some great kit to donate to Malcom and the Models for Heros. I always take part when the ISM live crew do their kit auctions for Models for Heros.

I have about sixty unbuilt kits in my stash. You have a good start going. I have the Boulton Paul in my stash. Love Airfix kits. Nice of you to donate your kits and your videos are fun to watch.

Yea my stash is pushing 400 kit lol

Owen, I was going to ask for a kit so I could send it to models for heroes, so nice one! Also you will love that Hasegawa kit - the fit will be amazing. Watch out for the decals though - they are really thick and it might be a better idea to make templates to paint them on yourself! Either way, looking forward to seeing the build video for it!

I built the gnat when I was 4 so I can't remember much, but looking at the finished model, there is no big fitting issues (as I didn't use filler back then)

If you are wanting to build more 1/24 kits I would definitely recommend the airfix 1/24 hawker typhoon mk 1b as it has no fitting issues whatsoever and has amazing detail. There was no flashing and the kit in new tool but it is a very hard kit and took me over a year to build.

I still have model kits from when I was 14 years old. I'm 52 years old now and started the hobby again !! ( Thank you coronavirus) The feeling you get when you're completed a kit and the sense of accomplishment it's so rewarding..

All of those models are very nice Im currently doing a Revell 1/72 B17-G “Flying Fortress,” very good kit anyway Good luck with your models! Will love to see them built and again good luck!

About 150 in mine. And yes, I have a problem.

I have nearly finished the Revall Lancaster bomber 😀😀😀 really good kit

The Cromwell kit is brilliant. Parts fit perfectly. A very good kit. I recommend it highly.

Good luck on the big spit ... had major issues on warped parts and fits ..especially engine.. I have 2 of these plus 2 hurricanes and 2 of the desert spits and a me 109.. just need to pick up a p51 mustang ... Most of my stash is 1 /72 ww11 aircraft but I've let my 9 yr old have those as old fingers and eyes have made me move up to 148/132 .. Good luck with your future projects , but make that time for the hobbie .Craig.

Im a Big fan of your vids and you inspired me to make Scale Models and im 11 years old i started in March with my first model the Curtiss tomahawk from airfix and now i already have 34 models,now im Working on the ju 88 A4 from Zvezda and please keep up the good Work 👍👐 (🇱🇻latvia)

i have made the gnat the parts fitted together very well and over all it was an awesome kit.

I built the Lancaster you have and its a really good model

Thanks Owen, stay well

Quick kits. I know I’ve said this before but I love your videos and this is no exception

I have 5, but actually planning on getting through them. Stuck at minute for time/energy due to a summer job.

I've recently gotten back back into kit building, I started off with 3 and then brought 5 more for my birthday aswell as getting one for my birthday as a present... I've only built 2 so far. they're all 1/72 scale airfix kits and the biggest is the English electric lightning starter kit I got for my birthday.

The Stuka was quit nice to build and a small amount of filler is needed I lost my cockpit while cleaning so I haven’t finished it but it’s quiet good Love the channel

I have a Lancaster b.III for Christmas, really happy!

Ive got a few kits on the go atm. And a few in storage. Im working on an me 262 bomber interceptor, kv-2, leopard a1a1, panther 2, and a hanomag. I have a tiger 2 and a 1/72 b29 in storage.

i have 350 kits here in Portugal, but only now started assembling, starting with oldies : Frog Hunter went bad at painting, Frog Sea Fury ok but broke the propeller, already got another, and Airfix Gnat in Yellowjacks scheme. Next are Eastern Express Hunter and Novo Fairey Delta 2, will try Tamiya acrylics ..later on planning on getting an airbrush for the other kits

The red arrows gnat was my first model. It is an amazing kits

13:30 I once made the Airfix 1/72 B-17 and it had a cool interior so I joined the two fuselage halves with magnets and it looked great and the seam was barely visible. You should do this one the lancaster

7, soon to be 8 kits in my stash at the moment. One can never have enough stash!

About 250+++ in the stash??, 3 wip/sitting in their boxes, and 1x tamiya crusader mk2 on the bench, the plastic addiction is real

for building ships model kit, i think you should build sub-assembly and attach the flagpole later

I don’t have in kits in my stash because I’ve already built those models. I really love putting together models because it calms me down and you get a miniature of a vehicle from a war, game, or movie.

Regarding your comment about an appropriate scale for ships, I am getting back into model-making with a 1:350 HMS Dreadnought by Trumpeter. There is still fine work, just more of it. However, I have been learning to airbrush with a really cheap starter set and it is my first model with photo etched parts so I am learning skills with cyano-acrylate glue and a modified sewing needle. Additionally, I bought a nice stereoscopic microscope to aid with work (my eyesight is changing to more long-sightedness). An indulgence, but it really helps. As for a stash, I am building that. Only an 1:72 Airfix EE Lightning F6 (inspired by the Mark Felton video on one intercepting a U2, which was considered impossible at the time) and a 1:700 Tamiya Waterline HMS Hood and HMS Electra from the Battle of the Denmark Strait (to replace a model I made a few years age where I did not like the way I painted it).

Oh my god how did I miss this a giveaway I’d of loved some of these kits my wasn’t I notified

I have 14 in my stash including a 1:48 TSR-2, red arrows gnat, red arrows hawk and a hawker typhoon. Advice for your boat would be take it slow and use masking tape for straight lines. I used a pencil with no lead to to my RMS queen mary. I think that the models for heroes is a brilliant thing to do

You ever think of setting up a discord

I have been wanting to get into models for the past four years but I haven’t started making any yet because I don’t have room to display them but I am moving house this year so hopefully I will have room for more shelves at the new location. So far I have accumulated a stash of 13 kits.

I’m ok. I don’t need these kits, but I like them. Keep up the great work Owen!

32 'Airfix' style kits (then again, all bar 2 of those are airfix kits), 5 bolt action box's I'm slowly working on and *beep* loads of warhammer box's I'm making my way through. BTW it was because I found your channel is why I went back to doing airfix again

As I only started modeling I have 0 stashed models. Would love to start my stash with something from your giveaway. Im going to need much practice to get in your level!

Well I only have 2,a tiger1 that I haven't open yet bc I'm still working on my me 262 and the second kit is a flak 88 which i have already opened but I haven't started working on it

The airfix 1/72 ju 87 stuka. Is my favorite kit i like every pat about it does not need any filler ot that. But u need to sand just a bit but not too much but the kit is nice.

My favorite out of all of the kits is the M1A1 abrams

Well not counting the GunPla that I am selling from my backlog, I have well over 100 kits. I have roughly 80 kits on eBay

On the lanc.....be careful when fitting the wing spars through the fuselage holes! The holes need sanding as it's an extremely tight fit

The engines need a bit of filler however everything else is just fine (Avro Lancaster).

Great video Owen! I've built 2 airfix lancaster's and a Revell lancaster. I have to say that the Revell Lancaster was much better to put together. The airfix b.iii had a big fitting issue with the fuselage and the bomb bay doors were warped and didnt fit properly. The landing gear was very nice tho. The revell fit was perfect but I couldn't finish it as it had parts of a b.iii mixed in with a dambuster. I hope this help you with your Lancaster. I'm looking forward to the D-Day event video. :) Cheers. Christian.

I have something between 50 to 70, and a lot of them are 1/35 helicopters (Chinooks, Hind, Little Birds and ofc lots of Hueys).

I would guess between 300-400 kits in my stash, but I am not really sure

The Stuka is a very good kit but the decals where pretty hard to get off the sheet considering I put them in water for an extra 2 minutes

I built the Stuka and it was mainly ok to build

I used to have like 10 italri kits they were HUGE and i just built the last of them.

Hi can I say I only have like 4 or 5 kits in my stash but you are an amazing KZfaqr I love your content please carry on

I'm in Japan and I just bought a premium yamato and a South Dakota (and tons of paints, airbrushes, etc lol) in stores with plamodel departments so big I couldn't believe they existed

Cromwell is a realy good kit by airfix tho the gun is bit fidly by that I mean I put the gun on then I nocked it off and replaced it with a toothpick with the sharp ends cut eff

600ish, but maybe 70% of them were either bought second hand or in won in model show raffles. On the 1:350/1:700 dilemma, it depends on the kit. Some 1:350th kits are just as fiddly but with four times as many parts. Instead of a 20mm Oerlikon in one piece in 1:700 you get one that twice as big, but consists of four parts. Starting with a destroyer may have been a better choice.

I don't know off the top of my head, but I know I have more kits unbuilt than built. It's just finding the time to build them . . .which is a shame, because i've got some pretty awesome ones waiting to be done!

My stash is the model I am currently working on. And maybe another I am building next, but the overlap is only like 12 hours

I have over 3000 kits in my stash, many of them extremely rare from the 60's & 70's and 80's. I'm a studio scale model builder. need to lots of greeblies for scratch building.

I have to kits in my stash I usually never have a stash couse whenever I come in the store I only buy one kits

I only have 1. I built most of them yesterday

I have about 26 models or more I couldn’t think of the rest.

Got like five or so, unbuilt. Apart from that, got like 45 or so in varying stages of building and painting.

No stash yet, but looking forward to it

8 in my stash but I do have multiple kits on the bench currently.

I have one extra kit I haven't started yet. I just got into scale modelling a month ago though.

I have one kit :( , the Airfix Curtiss Tomohawk IIB starter set. But I’m looking forward to making my collection bigger!

I have 550 plus kits, the majority of which will probably be sold by my next of kin once I'm no more. I think a lot off old kits on ebay are being sold under these circumstances. A practicality that I've never really given much thought is, where the hell would I put them once I've built a number of them, there is only so much shelf space. I'm currently reading a book by WW2 French pilot Pierre Clostermann, who flew with the RAF. I would like to build a few kits of the planes he flew, Spitfire, Typhoon and Tempest. I already have the Spitfire, which has his markings, the others could be a challenge.

Hey Owen can you make a tutorial or even reply to this comment on how you make the string on aeroplanes the connects usually from the tail to the fuselauge.I think it's called antenna wires but I cant be sure.Thanks and keeps up the awesome work.

Yea, i built that landcaster there, and i had a blast. It was so fun to build, all though i faintly remember having a few minor problems. Now i have yet to paint it, so i don't know how it will be to paint it, but the building part was 👌

I've got 3 unbuilt and 2 half built. Don't really store kits I just build stuff straight away

Regarding ships, bigger is better. I don't have much experience at all but I'm restoring a poorly built 1:200 scale Titanic and, although cute, it's an absolute nightmare to detail! Regarding the Lancaster's, I can't speak for the Airfix model but the Revell is a very nice kit. Great engine and cockpit detail, including the all-important bombs in multiple configurations. Highly recommend it. I love the 1945 b/w scheme so I'm thinking of picking up an Airfix one to decorate in that livery. Looking forward to your future construction vids on these projects (if you film them!) I understand you are a brush painter, so I'm curious to know how you plan on painting such a large area on the 1:24 scale Spitfire? I'm a brush painter as well, don't have the room, money or desire for an airbrush so I'm keen to hear your thoughts!

I am actually building the Airfix Mk Vb Spitfire as a live build on my channel now and I can confirm that the clean up of the parts has dramatically increased the build time :( having said that, people appear to still be enjoying this series/project and I am actually enjoying it, so don't be put off by its condition. ATB Mark aka SprueSurgeon :D

Gotta be honest , i've only got three kit's . A 1:24 james bond autogyro , 1:72 fairey rotodyne , and a 1:48 mk 45 seafire , plus i've also got conversion part's for the 1:48 airfix mosquito . 20mm anti ship , highball , bulge bomb bay for the 4000lb cookie , separate flap's , different engine's , and a complete conversion for the mk 33 sea mossie with folding wing's . But for me it's not time , it's space . I built hundred's of airfix kits , 30 odd year's ago , but currently don't have any built now , plus i've developed a taste for the unusual , hence those three .

I would love this. 💘 i have zero kits. Wish I had one

Haahahah those are rookie numbers! I got about fifty boxed, 3 in progress and like 15 on the shelf of doom

I have around 18 kits, 5 of which are work in progress.

Martin from Malta here! I have watched you glee over that Zero. What are you waiting for!? 😃

Are used to have around 18 aircraft but I built a lot of them now I only have five

3 kits in my stash but about 30 F1 car collection cars to modify paint and decal

Just 5 kits, but one is a balsa with tissue cover. It says it will fly, so we will see.

Great video! 1 kit in my stash

I have a 1/72 academy b-17f I’m looking forward to building :D

Made the zero its pretty good even tho i managed to mess it up with tamiya's panel line accent xD

I'm currently building all the models my dad has left from when he was a kid. I've already built three, and I've got seven left.

For the moment in my stash I have 3 models: The Tamiya F4u Corsair in 1:48 scale. A Revell Monogram P-51 1:48 scale and a Beautiful Fw189 in 1:48 Greetings from Italy👍🏻

3 Academy kits, F4U-1 (to be built as an FG-1D), a TBF-1 and a P-40E, all to be painted up in RNZAF paint jobs 😄

I've got 31 kits in my stash an I doubt that this number will stay the same for a longer time😆

Use frog tape for the sides of the Bismarck and 1/350 you can have figures

Nice haircut it looks really good on you!

132 and counting! 😊
