The Airfix Range for 2023 - RELEASE DAY! But which 3 kits are my favourites?
Hello from across the pond! Build the T34 first. It will be a fun kit. The Tiger gets a little fiddly on the road wheels. Also a great kit.
@@RaymondSuess hello mate. Thanks for the message. Yeah I’ve started on the T34. Doing it as a video build too.
This is, at best, a fair offering of a B-1B in 1/72. Monogram's version in the same scale is far superior in every way. Just mo.
@@markfranks1329 thanks for the info mate, appreciate the feedback.
@@hardysscalemodels No worries. Good video. 👍
@@markfranks1329 thanks man
Very hard build in places this one from what I remember 😮
Yeah I suspected there might be with an older kit. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the heads up.
Looks like you can turn the L clamp uprights 180 degrees, this will enable smaller aircraft to fit.... I've just ordered one of these about two days ago from Skookum RC, they were only £17 and £3 p&p, so only £20 all in..... looks exactly the same, cheers.
Yeah you can 👍🏻
That brings back some memories of my younger self rushing eagerly to my local model shop on hearing that they had just taken delivery of the B1B! I currently have the Revell platinum edition of the Monogram 1/48 Bone in my stash, and I'm very much looking forward to building it.
Yeah this kit is big so the 1/48 must be epic!
@hardysscalemodels It's 3 foot long and just under 3 feet for the wingspan,wings fully extended!.
@ hahaha! I am SO tempted!
You should build on in 1/6 scale . 🤣🤣😂😂👍👍👍👍
@@LUC66631 think I’d be spending my life savings on glue!
Blimey. I remember building this some forty or so years ago.
Yeah it’s an old one!
It's a beast marra. Used resin engines and landing gear on mine. Used hobby colour usaf, it's similar to f15 strike eagle colour. Only issue I had was the seem line joint along the cockpit pit area.
@@davidmaddox6220 thanks for the heads up mate! I have been looking at some of the aftermarket stuff… very tempting!
Hi. I have been making models for over 40 years so I have built many models. I started with aircraft , in a big way. I then went into 1/35th armour as well. Now I focus on small scale armour. I built the Puma , a nice kit. I have also built the King Tiger , another good kit. I might suggest that you look towards battles between the Germans and Russians on the approach towards Berlin. Places like Seelow Heights , also the battles around the Lake Balaton area or in other areas in Czechslovakia. This is where the T34 and King Tiger would have gone head to head. Good luck with your builds. Regards.
@@BrianSanders-tn7pi thanks Brian, appreciate the extra info! Thanks mate.
Errhhhmm

Cool Review
Thanks mate
Nice build I’m trying to get into the hobby, what type of resources did you need and how much did it cost?
@@andrewtang3108 thank you! I guess it’s like any hobby, you can spend a lot, or spend a lot less. Buying second hand kits online can save you money, as can just buying the essentials you need. For instance a knife, sanding sticks, nippers and brushes. But the kit I have has built up over time, I only buy new kit when I need to upgrade/replace. Hope this helps.
@ thanks hope I can get into the hobby soon, if you have any specific suggestions for paints for this build please let me know
@@andrewtang3108 I tend to use Tamiya acrylics. Easy to find, decent quality and not expensive.
all looking good! as regards building different genres of kits, I take the view that modelling basics can be applied to most types of kit, and I personally am a very eclectic builder ( I have on the go at the minute an airfix B17 old tool, an airfix Roland WW1 German two seater, I've just finished an airfix 1/32 MGB car kit, and will be carrying on with an airfix vintage classic HMS Hood with a photo etch set) that list is airfix heavy, I admit, but I do have stuff by other manufacturers, honest!
@@philsmodelmaking2260 yeah I think I’m definitely going to broaden the range of stuff I build, instead of just aircraft. Thanks mate.
can a bottle of tamiya primer be applied through brushes ?
I guess you could decant it into a container, let the gas come out of it for a few hours, then try it?
@hardysscalemodels no no no ,you can buy a bottle of tamiya primer on the market ,it is a glass bottle,which code is 87075
@@hardysscalemodels no no no, there are glass bottle of tamiya primer and can be purchased in market,which offical code number is 87075,are you heard of it?
@@junhaogu-ee8wh sorry I’m not aware of that.
Hello mate. I understand feeling of breaking new ground by trying a different type of kit. I'm predominately an armour modeler but every now and then I try to chuck in an aircraft to drag me out of the "comfort zone". Please keep the vids coming and I look forward to seeing how the T34 and King Tiger come out. Cheers fella.
@@IanWilliams-f2l thanks mate, appreciate that 👍🏻
Thank you mate! 👍🏻
Good morning my friend, those in-progress builds look absolutely fantastic, even the AT-AT, I am not a sci-fi fan, as for your two tank builds, just pretend they are aircraft😃 but being Tamiya they will fall together, bedt regards from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les

This is wild. I was just looking at my kit (same one), that I've had from back then. And thinking about how I'd like to finish it. Then I come across your video. Funny, I got about as much done to mine, as you said you did, with your original kit. I'm glad I found your video. Maybe that will motivate me to complete mine. Did you finish yours?
@@lorenwade8760 haha, that’s funny! Makes you wonder how many people got this kit and never finished it! I’ll be working on mine in the new year I think. I still haven’t decided which scheme I want to do it in. Good luck with yours!
where did you get this cabinet?
Hi. It’s an IKEA Detolf cabinet, but I think it’s been discontinued now.
Name of plane?
@@skyline2344 it’s the Airfix 1/72 Vickers Valiant
@ sorry for late response but thank u so much bro that plane looks so nice
@@skyline2344 thanks man
Can you help please? On the decal sheet, are the stencils in Arabic or English ( wording)?
@@c8136132 I’ll have to check for you. But this version of the kit is all Arabic schemes. So likely they’re not in English. I’ve bought some aftermarket decals for it.
@@hardysscalemodels yep I'm assuming that's the case however if the manufacturer cut a few corners, who knows..... It's things like the "Rescue" arrow for example...
@@c8136132sure I’ll check.
@@hardysscalemodels hi matey, did you get the chance to check?
@@c8136132 yes, sorry! The rescue markings are in English. So are the no-step marking.
Building this right now. Im a seasoned modeller but you need your wits about you with this one. General fit challenges thats all but if you read this before starting this build, dry fit and adjust before picking up the glue!
Thanks mate. I’ll key an eye out for that.
Where did you get this i need one
It’s an IKEA detolf cabinet, but they’ve been discontinued. They have a new one that’s very similar though.
To be fair, Dave, I can see why it has failed 😂
Hi dave I'm new to the hobby and a new sub to your channel , I'm struggling with scale size I've bought a few 1:72 , that are quite small but I've seen some that are larger I would prefer to do a larger size like the ones you have shown In this video but I'm guessing they are expensive? Any help would be much appreciated thank you neil
@@nidge2822 hello mate and thanks for subscribing! EBay, Vinted and sites like that are very good for picking up bargains if you’re working to a budget. Older kits can tend to be a little cheaper too.
@@hardysscalemodels thanks mate I've just 2 models of vinted so will see if they are better to handle !
Should be a fun build and great for weathering 😀
@@jetsofthecoldwar1149 yeah it should be quick too, really not much to it.
non è sicuramente pratico avere una linea esclusiva x ogni tipo di verniciatura,se ho bisogno di usare il pennello ?o fprse la linea rossa è già pronta senza diluire,alora conviene prendere la linea bluevisto che i colori sono gli stessi cambia la sigla A001 B001
Turned out really nice!

Looks nice enough....funny how it says "British aircraft " on the front of the box but no R.A.F. option on the decal sheet😂😂

The famous Airfix box art has gone to the dogs since Airfix panders to the history deniers with no Swastikas.
Hi. I build the kits with swastikas on, so the box art leaving them off doesn’t bother me to be fair.
It's law in the UK and some European countries.
@@rodneypayne4827 No it not law in the UK.
Well if you didn’t whinge, you couldn’t be called a whinging Pom.
@@ekspatriatAirfix sells their products internationally and they’re not going to make different box art for different countries.

@@hardysscalemodels 80s kid here in Canada obsessed w F-14s too - great build! I'm almost finished my 1/72 VF-84 (or VF-111 as it comes with both) decaled 1/72 Tomcat. Been out of modeling since around 1993 or so, I just picked up my 1st airbrush and built a practice 1/144 VF-114 jet a month or so ago as practice before graduating to 1/72. Just wish I'd kept my 1/48 Revell VF-142 jet from when I was a kid. I saved a lot of Tomcat stuff but only have the vertical stab for it now sadly. At any rate, videos like yours are an immense help for someone new at this stuff, so thanks!
