Great video and presentation.

Just great! The old kits makes the modelers more creative like this specific one. 👍👌👏

I love those older Italieri kits. I especially loved their Panther A with zimmerit. My very first kit with zimmerit already on the parts. Keep up the great work with your videos and channel.

I have the exact same model! Also still in the box. Greetings!

Thanks for the review of the Matchbox Wellesley (and nice paintjob, by the way). It have it on my wish-list since I was a kid, but that wingspan is honestly a bit off-putting. I might go for the gorgeous Stranraer instead.

I still have models i built almost 50 years ago in my teens. They are in plastic show cases and still look very good; mostly Italeri German armor, some of my first airbrushed models. Still proud of them!

Look like me, down cellar behind the ax. Nice to see these old kits. Always liked luftwaffe nightfighters with their jazz music gun installa toins which was absolutely devastating. Treat yourself to a new ICM series dornier bomber/nightfighter in 1/72 and find the definition of evolution. Carry on brother and enjoy your hobby. Rick

Excellent, thumbs up!

Do217 served in north Africa I think the night fighter version did. Ironically Japanese wanted a licence to build it Iltaleri version was a great kit Especially in Italian markings As they operated about half a dozen. Keep up the good work

Nice video

Great job on your D2. I am contemplating getting the Resin D2 but wanted to get some info. Your video was exactly what I was looking for.

Loved this one! If you’re looking to increase views, sometimes a slight adjustment to the thumbnail can make a big difference. I’ve been working on some designs that might suit your style-

nice video!

Looks like you did a really nice job on the finishes of your models.

I find painting livestock so much harder than painting vehicles, so many different textures and colour patterns.

nice channel my work space at work is identical

What's the best site to get 1/48 mirage kit cant find one on Amazon??

Merci beaucoup ! Thank you for showing us some not very known models.

The Tiger Models Nagmachon is a lovely kit, goes together nicely. I would compare the quality to Meng, which to me is a great manufacturer.

bon jour, zoot alors... l' model c'est tres magnifique.

Hi buddy. I like how you discuss the aircrafts history and the model plus you say it how it is. I too had the decal problem with a couple of these kits which is surprising for Japanese quality. As you say I nice kit to play with,adding detail and maybe using a craft knife and some plastic card or tuning. But it is annoying when you can't replicate what you see on what is nice colour paint guide. Strange. But for the price and scale I think they are good. Having endured the worse decals and quality control of all with Mistercraft!!! Eeeek. Thank for the heads up and details. Happy modelling friend.

A and B variants = Freedom Fighter. C,D,E and F variants = Tiger 11 (Tiger 2)

decals om a sunny window for a few days will fix them. Surprised you didn't know this hack.

Nice friendly video cousin,I remember the Matchbox kit as tgey did do different lesser known stuff. Always crisp,rarely any flash,more decal and parts than airfix in the 70s and 80s. Novel colours as kids may not have had paints. I too looked up this weird bird and as you said quite often it's the lesser know unsung heroes that were the first to do all kinds of things. Matchbox got bought out but you can tell the originals as they have a unique clear window in the back of the box. Tank models cane with lovely dioramas. Revell bought them out so when you buy a Revell it may be a Matchbox. By the way tge Czech company Valom do the Wellesley for a more detailed version with Photo etch and excellent interior. That's a big old bird and caused a few headaches out in Africa for sure. Keep those videos coming. Nice and relaxed and informative. The kids grew up and so did the hobby but the buzz remains the same. Awesome. Cheers fried. Des UK

Cavalry aside, Mr. Alan you are doing a fantastic job.

Yes, I deserve all the fun remarks on my outrageous typo! Oh my!

CAV - AL-RY

Cavalry, not calvary, where Jesus was crucified. Lots of people make this mistake.

Actually are weird fact but the Cossacks spent a lot of the year in Iran herding ect . Reading a great book on soviet Aircraft and units in Asia 1922/41 . Very interesting reading

Awesome stuff, I remember our town library had that book, used to regularly get it out.

D520 would be great for Pierre le gloan Vichy Syria colours Great work

Love those vintage Italeri kits. I think we've all built this kit at one point....hahahahahaha. Good value in that kit with the inclusion of the figures. Keep having fun. Bill

Fighting the oppressive heat here in Maryland too. Great job on your early war Zero. Cool info on the plane's markings. Keep having fun my friend. Bill

Mid 60s farranheit I. Ireland today it's been an awful summer again I have some of them Japanese army aircraft books Great books but so expensive There actually a company from Japan which sells books in English on Japanese aviation. But it's hit and miss if in stock

Great video.

The finished product looks like something Eiji Tsuburaya would've made for a Godzilla movie.

Congratulations - you did a fair enough job. This kit was one of Airfix's first 'post bankruptcy' efforts with overdone panel lines and dodgy printed decals. I bought it when it appeared as I loved the cover art and wanted to do the BAE Demonstrator. The decals gave me a lot of trouble and broke up as I was trying to fit them. Airfix kindly sent me a replacement sheet free of charge (within a week!) but they had the same problem, so that project was never finished. I must admit the kit gave me no fit issues.

Cool reference books 😊

Nice video as usual!

Well done Mr. Alan, a subject that we don't see too often, unfortunately.

Polish wings by MMP Is a great book on this aircraft And MMP books have a separate. Book on it . A zubar ( bison) Is surely next lots of glazing lo There is new book on karas unit out in August l

Really enjoy your videos! I like the fact your really down to earth and seem to really enjoy making models. I also do military items. I build military dioramas. Also build models and paint figures I have been watching for quite a while now and keep it up you do a "Fantastic job " ,Mike from Philadelphia

The Japanese and the Russians and polish and Yugoslavia all operated similar vehicles pre war as well. Manchukuo had lots of different rail tanks and armoured cars Great subject.

Very interesting video, there is something I really like about the crusader tank.

A truly classic armour kit, probably most modellers first large scale sherman kit, better than the tamiya kit as the sponsons are boxed in so you don't get the see thru hull effect as with the tamiya kit and it used to be a third of the price of the Tamiya kit , this kit was copied under license to become the base kit for all the dragon 35th shermans .

Great video, thank you. You forgot to mention the M2 medium tank which was in development around 1939 which use the same running gear as what ended up being used in them three medium. I'm pondering a kit bash that would use the running gear of one of the Tamiya M3 kits with a different superstructure.

Love this aircraft and the mitsubishi FM1 Pete. A good few served on sea plane tenders and converted Battleships/ cruises. Would make a great diarama. I think the phosphorus bombs were called Fu-go but Japanese had a habit of calling the same name for numerous items .

Enjoyed it. Interesting use of spare Romanian decals on the newer Stuka.

My apologies for the chat being interrupted!
