Thanks for posting this video. I have the Wingnuts 1/32 scale Gotha (yes...pricey!) and was thinking of picking up a smaller scale first. 1/72 is tough on my aging eyes though.
$30 kit vs about $350 for Wingnuts Gotha. Both great kits for what they are but a bit apples to oranges. I have both. The 1/72 is simpler as far as parts count, but the small size of parts and the fact the Roden parts (the small ones) have a habit of breaking when you barely touch them makes them more a PITA to build. Worthy builds both, but completely different animals.

Thanks mate. Yeah it a struggle as we get older. The wingnuts kits are just awesome.
Picked up one of these kits lat week, along with the ryefield Sherman with full interior and meng ft17 with full interior
Did you sell it in the end mate
Good review. I love those 72nd Roden kits. Got an F2 Felexstowe late. Can't get over the detail. Thanks for the decal warning.
I've seen builds of it with PE detailing, it's amazing. Mine is on hold as it's an intimidating project.
Yea they can build up very nice but the time and patience stalled me. The rigging is just awesome on this beast.
When are you going to do a build
I am going to sell this one mate. Wanting to get one of the wing nuts models. If i do not sell it this week i may keep it and try a build soon.

BTW I have a 1/48 AZ Gotha on the way and hoping it’s the best of both worlds. Thanks for the video mate. 👍
Thanks mate. Let me know what the 1/48 version is like when you get it.
