I had one of those....brilliant fun.

Wardog militaria, Fitzkee military, Griffin, Overlooked military here in the US has thousands of original patches. Not to mention ebay.

Always enjoy seeing stuff like this, great find!

Really nice setup, I really love the helmet and the history to it.

Very nice.

Imagine getting that for Christmas in 1974....the box alone would be a very visually striking piece....absolutely no chance of that in today's world. I had a larger polystyrene glider....might have been a jumbo jet....you put a 6 inch nail into the nose for ballast, flew pretty well. I reckon the colditz model glider would fly well, do you plan on giving it a go?....I wonder if the real one would of flown successfully?....imagine the guards looking up to see the glider flying over their heads!!....'gott in himmel fritz!....wo ist das??'😅😅😅😅

Ah, the good old days when you could plaster swastikas all over a child's toy! Neat model, never heard of these Airfix gliders. Back in the day I had all of the Airfix toy soldiers except, for some reason, for the Gurkhas. Enjoyed the video.

Nice find CJ have you had a go at how well it flies.

A very informative video. Thanks.

Thats a really good find there 👍👍

Nice i do like the sound the siren makes. my nan dont she hates it. when we was going home from Hunstanton years ago the siren whent off.

Hi CJ, Thanks for showing the two types. A handy video to watch for someone wanting the two types.

Good stuff m8....ive had the experience, quite a few times of working in the local chemical plants around Teesside....some of which used old ww2 sirens such as the one in your video, but even the post war ones sound exactly the same....so if there was a drill/practice alarm or as happened more than once a twice , a real fire or chemical leak....the sirens would go off and when you are at 'ground zero' so to speak they really give you start, in fact the hairs at the back of your neck stand in end.....'is there a leak?'....'is it near me?'....so god only knows what its like when bombs are coming down at you. I remember as an apprentice at a long demolished site were two tradesman were splashed by diluted cyanide....off went the sirens, they both hit the emergency shower stations , then straight to the medical centre to be given a tablet that makes a person eject all possible fluids from every orifice, apparently.....you get the drift....so all the poison is out of the system. Even today , i think Tuesday mornings at 10am the local works sets off its alarm just like this and if the wind is blowing in the right direction it can be clearly be heard around the town.....might even be a ww2 one, cheers CJ m8😊😊😊😊

Apologies to anyone wearing headphones!!!!

Now stop that!....it lookd like too much fun😅😅😅😅

The velocity of the 2pdr 40×158mmR and the 2pdr 40×304mmR is similar to the difference between 38 special and 357 magnum in terms of energy transfer. Anyone know why the AP has a hole drilled into the base? I thought the 2pdr AP the British used was solid shot and did not have an explosive filler nor a fuse.

Hi pal have you deleted my earlier comment? was only wanting some advice

Nice Finds, I havent seen that long cased version here in america. Its been slim pickins here in the outside of the"rare occasional" gun/militaria shows that the democrats keep trying to cancel. Funny, but with me , if the random shell fits a case ..they go together. Never gave it much thought as to being correct match up. Still like to find a reasonable priced 88mm casing . Ive never seen even a cutdown 88mm ashtray..I did manage to find a larger chromed german ww2 100mm? ashtray for like $20. Wonder if the 88mm are more common in the UK then U.S. Happy hunting CJ!

Can't be a real one, the barrel has not been snapped off😂

In this case a 1973 box from the pontoon bridge assault set.

One on uk eBay for £45

Hi CJ, Really appreciate your video and review of this old Airfix kit. I am old enough to remember when Airfix released these kits.Curiously enough, about a month ago I bought a part built Airfix 1914 Old Bill Bus. The top and bottom body sections have been assembled and the windows have been installed in the side panels, the majority of the rest of the kit is loose in the box, but I have checked it with the instruction sheet and the kit appears to be complete. Like the 2014 rerelease you reviewed it appears to be the civilian kit with the the soldiers on a separate sprue. But Scalemates dates this as a 1966 release as it has the pattern number on the box 573 and it has the advertising for the civilian bus on a paper sheet as well as the cardboard planks for the military version. The art work on the box is what I remember from my childhood. When I bought the kit I intended building it. But I am now wondering given the kit’s age whether I would be better leaving it in the box as it is and whether it would have any more value than the £20.00 I paid for it. I would be really grateful for you opinion. As an aside ,just before I watched your video tonight I saw the 2014 version of the kit up for auction on eBay and bought it. Best regards, Eric.

You can buy Shells at Car Boot??? 😮 Did not know that C. J. - Sounds scary!!! 😐🚂🚂🚂

That's a good bit of brass for the price.Did you find out any more about it since? I wonder what calibre it is.

That's a nice case, put to handy use too :)

Where you been for 2 weeks is there more vids coming? Can you do newspaper reading or add I search button to your channel as I can’t find any of your old newspaper reading videos which I really want to get back to

Nice examples CJ

Good tutorial m8....i think ive got the larger one...just thought, in an emergency , would the shorter pom pom round work in a tank or larger gun?...they are the same calibre, puzzler 🤔🤔🤔

I’ve got both shell cases.

Look forward to the finished model , where did you find that?😊😊

I had one of these when I was a kid. Mine had darker blue plastic tho. Brought back memories.

He did a lovely job, even down to the little handles and coat hangers.

That's really nice, looks fragile, I don't imagine there are many complete ones left.

I bought my yonger brother the Airfix SLR after shooting the real thing on CCF camp. It was all black, but I painted the "woodwork" for him for greater realism (ha ha). I don't know whether there was more than one version, because the one I bought definitely had a spring loaded mag which took several plastic bullets. As with other commentators, it's barrel got broken in short order.

I knew this would increase in price ,as of august 2024 the retail price is 38 quid

Looks like something that may have been for the einsatzgruppen or just simply made after ww2

That is what I call a great collection 👍🏻

Excellent display m8, a cabinet packed with RAF items, very nice 😊😊😊😊

Very good Mr CJ 😊😊😊

That's nice, I've never seen one rolled like that.Nice book you used to illustrate too.

Thanks, this has been the most helpful of any info online explaining these slings.

Nice, I mostly see these as trench art, engraved or turned into ashtrays.

More nice Collectables.I'll take a look at some vids of it being built, I'm intrigued.

This weekend while on a Springdok hunt in the karoo South Africa I found one of these spent cartridges in a dry river bed.

Are you going to Military odyssey next week?

Just got a boys 1937 dated round. Tracer. For £15

3:30 I’ve heard of these being called All sorts of things sterilising pills for water and anti gas ointment but never antiseptic very confusing and I’d like to eventually get the right answer

Great video, thanks! Recently bought one. Seen them before, but thought they were from the 1960s! Mine has got about half of the red painted crosses still on the side, and the lead ball and spring loaded striker inside! Theres a chip at the base, but I'm really pleased to have bought it

It looks pretty neat in the illustration with the planes flying off the deck.I've seen one of these in the toy box in the dentist waiting room a few yrs ago. So that's what it is :)
