    Thanks for your video with personal connections to the diorama. My uncle also flew, mostly as an air gunner, in Wellingtons albeit an earlier version. His plane was shot down in 1941; he survived with two others, spent some time in a POW camp, but did not make it back. He served with the RCAF in 99 Squadron, Waterbeach.

      No no no, it's me that's bonkers. There is a considerable cognitive dissonance in m,y psyche, the fascination with WW2 and making models of those times, versus the horror of war I feel now. I note that Bovington also sell a blow up panzerfaust .........

But -- being born just after that war, parents served in it, the remains , the obsession remains . Bovington also do a blow up panzerfaust, something else to try to avoid buying.........🙂

      Had a holiday in Brittany many years ago, and became fascinated by the remains of boats in some of the harbours, and the demi-coques (?) models to be found in some local shops .... that were too expensive at the time. So eventually found a kit (I think it was Billings) of a Bretton sloup. A completely new medium, took some learning, but it sits in my study still. Not built anything like it since though. And nowhere near as many as you. @@johnmarley6695

    I think they did modify the kit. I dont recognise your early version decals? I built mine in 1988-9 when the choice was either Admiral Prune or S Sugar, which flew from Bottesford where I used to live as a kid, so obviously I chose that one. I still have the box and cover and think I still have the instructions also. It has that superb interlocking wingspar doesnt it, which enabled me to dismantle and pack away as I moved houses with work a lot from 1989-until very recently. Some of my tiny parts including a couple of wing lights are missing now..

    • @talesfromthebunker6924
      @talesfromthebunker6924 7 месяцев назад

      I found that the bomb aimers blister was the early shallow type, this meant that the PO.S would be incorrect. So I decided to spray most of the markings by cutting out my own stencils so it became OLQ.

    Thanks for making this really nice and informative video. With reference to the toilet habits of bomber crews, I recently read 'Enemy Coast Ahead' by Guy Gibson. He mentioned that if a bomber piot was caught short, needing to pee, there was a funnel connected to a tube which fed outside the aircraft. However, if the ground crew didn't like the officer, they would sometimes tie a knot in the tube.

    My gosh those are some tiny, tiny details. Very impressive how much tiny details you can cram into these models. As much as I can appreciate the small details, but when it comes to assembly... There is a limit where things get a bit too small, and I just simply leave them out for the sake of my own sanity :D

  • @johnmarley6695
    @johnmarley6695 Год назад

    I’ve built an ICM Do17z; Brilliant kit. And I’m throwing together their model T Ford Texaco light delivery car at the moment. They’re a great fitting brand. You’re making want to build a He111. I’ve not done one. Yours is coming along nicely. I know what you mean about fascination and horrification. I discharged from RAAF last November after 27 years of avionics. All of us love the engineering but none of us want war. I’ve seen enough...Time to sit at a bench instead.

    • @talesfromthebunker6924
      @talesfromthebunker6924 Год назад

      I bought a Do 17 kit years ago, only recently made it. Cannot remember the manufacturer .... and one of those models that fights you all the way. Should have waited for the ICM! The Do 17 is a particular interest : my father was not old enough to join up until later in the war (Served as Air Gunner, mid upper, 77 Squadron Halifax BIII, February 45 on) But when an aircraft crash was seen, he set off with a mate on a motorcycle to reach the site before Police or Home Guard, scrump as much as possible and get away . So I have a Dornier maker's plate for a 17. And a wheel and tyre from a Messerschmitt 109 brought down near Chilham in Kent in 1940 ..... with a Dunlop tyre, which used to confuse me. Yup, the ICM kit is good, generally fits together well, I'll have to look at what else they do. And the dissonance ..... I am still shocked at how similar Putin's rationalisations sound to Hitler's ----- hasn't quite claimed it is his last territorial claim on Europe, but only just. And somewhere deep down I want to believe human kind is becoming more mature, sensible, sane, but Ukraine and much else says it ain't.

    • @talesfromthebunker6924
      @talesfromthebunker6924 Год назад

      Think it was a special addition of the kit -- with two options : one as shown on the box top, British Army green, with a figure representing Princess Elizabeth, from that well known photograph of her when serving in the WRAC as an ambulance driver (though she is not named in the ' structions) The instructions show it as being in an almost russet brown, quite wrong, there WAS. though a khaki brown shade used early on. The second option is the one from the film, in desert yellow or stone. Extraordinary kit -- masses of small parts, often quite fragile if small. I get the impression it is all strictly to scale, i.e. vulnerable and fragile. I will continue though, it is a good kit. Possibly the Airfix version is engineered to be rather less vulnerable!
