Thanks for the video, and I agree with you about the Airfix tiger moth, I recently build mine as a sort-of mojo build, and as an experienced 1/72 bi-plane modeler I was quite surprised at the problems it threw at me, it's a pity Airfix didn't include a jig to hold the wings while installing the struts into the very vague locating points and as for installing the wind-shields at the end, what were they thinking?? and as for the cutting of the fuselage??? Definitely not a beginners, or a starter kit model. Interesting to see both you and Peter Oxley both chose the ICM B26 as the model of the year, could it be great minds etc?
Don't know about great minds...! It's is just such a lovely kit to make of a popular aircraft at a scale not well served in the past and ICM put some proper effort into it. Best of all it's very buildable!
Hi Gary. Happy New Year.🎆 Nice selection. The ICM B-26 is definitely the years highlight. A "I must build it this year" resolution (although we all know what NY Resolutions are like!). Airfix watch was a strange thing and I agree that tiny biplanes aren't for beginners. Nice threads sir. Matt 🦘
Hiya Gary. Fantastic end of year awards show 👏 Best thing I've watched all holiday! 😂 Totally agree with your winning build 👌 Awesome kit, loads of options with the 3 boxings (more to come in 25) and looks incredible! Loved watching your build vids on it. Thanks for all your hard work again this past year, hopefully 25 will be a much better one for you 🤞👍 Enjoy your evening out tonight mate 😁 Happy new year 🍾🎉
"... and the award, for the most egregious waistcoat, once again goes to...". Just as guilty myself - still have a couple of shockers I wore back in the 1980's. Thanks for all your hardwork and entertainment during 2024 Gary and best wishes for 2025.
Cher Gary Merci pour cette cérémonie géniale et très sympathique ! Je continue à regarder régulièrement vos vidéos qui sont inspirantes. Je vous souhaite une excellente année 2025 , qu elle épargne a tous les modélistes les soucis de montage des kits et les pertes de pièces. Fred du Sud de la France
Absolutely hit nail right on the head Gary with kit of the ICM definitely deserved the top spot l wish you both the best for 2025 looking forward to next year on Gary’s Stuff 👍
I'll have a go at the Liberator when they do a coastal command one. (It's a pity its not the Blakes7 version because I've wanted to build a kit of that since I was a kid.)
What a surprise... was the Sea Harrier so bad that it is not worth a price? Or was it not a build of 2024? It may not have been an easy year... but I wish Gary, Maria and all the other members of Gary's Stuff a carefree 2025 with good health to everyone you love. Gelukkig Nieuwjaar van België
Happy New Year to you and Maria, Gary :) I have to say I was surprised that the Mistercr@p Sea Harrier wasn't Worst Kit of the Year, but I do agree with your reasoning for the Tiger Moth. I just think the Sea Harrier was a thoroughly bad kit.
Well turned out Gary ... but are you wearing the trousers?

Happy Hogmanay to all, and a guid new year when it comes!
Aye, thanks and the same to you😊
Will you be out first footing tonight?
Happy New Year all!
Excellent choices Gary. Have a great new year and keep your fingers crossed for an Airfix 1/24 Hawker Hunter.
I’m happy to wait for the 1/32 Hunter T7 from Revell!
I'd have to agree with the Tiger Moth, not something I would want as a starter set. I got the B-24 for Xmas, cannot wait to get started on her.
Nice to see my two favourite aircraft ...the Fouga Magister ( yes im from Ireland and it was me who donated it to Gary ) and the Hawker Hunter.
Hi Gary. Happy New Year.🎆

Nice and concise selection Gary!
Thanks Gary. Keep up the great work and Happy new year!
Thanks Gary, great series of build for 2024! All the best for the new year, 2025! Regards Alan.
And the winner goes to .... nice video. Happy New Year.
Getting a "Royal Marine Commandos" vibe from that Rotodyne in that scheme
I'll have a go at the Liberator when they do a coastal command one. (It's a pity its not the Blakes7 version because I've wanted to build a kit of that since I was a kid.)
@tonybmw5785 there was a model of it I'm sure!
Nicely done Gary! ICM, can we please have the Marauder in 1/72???
Happy new year! Classy presentation as usual, no bow tie T-Shirt but the real thing. 👍
Even a real tie-up bow tie my friend! We do things proper here mate!
Happy and healthy 2025 to all😊👍🏼
And to you too.🥂🥂🍺
@ Hi Damien, I hope you’re well☺️

Love it 😂

I agree with the Airfix/watch product. Too much $$$$$!
Happy New Year to you and Maria, Gary :) I have to say I was surprised that the Mistercr@p Sea Harrier wasn't Worst Kit of the Year, but I do agree with your reasoning for the Tiger Moth. I just think the Sea Harrier was a thoroughly bad kit.
The Mistercraft SHAR was worst kit last year I believe - although it does warrant a second award for ruining two years of model making mojo!
@@garys_stuff ahh .. /last/ year. Time flies when you're having fun :)
I haven't even watched the video yet, Gary, lol, but I'm hoping Arma Hobby gets a look in 😊
Bonjour, merci pour tout votre travail. Je crois qu'il y a une erreur dans le titre (2023 au lieu de 2024).
Meilleurs vœux.
Bonjour Lionel, merci! J'espère c'est correct maintenant...
@garys_stuff c'est juste parfait. Belle journée à vous.
Very surprised the award for worst kit of the year did not go to the Mister kit / Mister Kraft Sea Harrier.......unless Gary built that last year?
Ye, it "won" last year!
@garys_stuff ah i see Gary.....that would explain it perfectly.
Cheers D.🙂👍
@@garys_stuff The build video was 11 months ago
@@robi3081 and the box opening was more than that. Which is when the full horror first struck me.
@@Damien-q8t I've got a Mistercraft F4 UI corsair that I had got lined up to build in the New Year.... I'm getting worried now.....
👍👍
The title is wrong, nearly got mislead...
In what way is the title wrong?
2023?
It's a tyop
Done, thanks!
🤣 like what you did there!
Surely the mistercraft sea harrier was pits of the year ………
It won worst kit last year…
Ahh well we better give someone else a go :) thanks Gary
Need to change the video title mate 👍 great video idea
I was just aboit to say that
Done, thanks!
Now we are all wondering what it was changed from!
Only a very minor typo
Awesome Gary....wasn"t expecting to see the Fouga.cheers D.👍👍@garys_stuff
If I was Airfix I would be mortally offended you made the Tiger moth the worse kit of the year, especially after you made that dogshit Hawker Harrier.
Which was worst kit of last year…..
Happy New Year!
