    Building the Mini Art P-47 now. It really is fantastic, especially if you assemble the cowl on its own without using the supporting frames around the engine. Treat all the locating tabs as potential enemies, trim them off, and you will be ok.

    Speaking of problematic plastics, I'm currently building 2 Revell kits from the mid 70's, both made in England and both 1/32nd scale. The Spitfire Mk 1 is a slightly translucent beige/tan plastic which is extremely brittle and reacts badly to the SMS paints that I use. Not all of it reacts, but some of it goes quite lumpy. Many of the thin parts have broken, especially the mounts for the ailerons and rudder. The gaps between the wing roots and fuselage are massive. I wonder whether the wings have shrunk. The gap was up to 5mm and needed plastic glued inside the wings to give me something to support the putty. The Ju87B Stuka is a medium grey plastic which is actually quite nice. The only problem I'm having with it is the ejector pin marks in awkward places, especially right next to areas with lots of rivets. As all the rivets are raised, and there are lots of them, it is a real pain.But at least the wings are a good fit and will only require a very light fill to hide the joins.

      @@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab I didn't know they were Matchbox kits. The Stuka certainly doesn't seem like any Matchbox kit I ever made. I don't remember any of them having so much rivet detail, but then I only made the 1/76 scale kits. I haven't started painting the Stuka yet, but the plastic is totally different to the Spitfire, so hopefuly will be OK. I'm also having fun with a Hasegawa TWR XJS which is causing lots of paint issues with some parts, mainly the interior. Similar issue to the Spitfire, but only with the white plastic. The grey parts are fine.

    Gannets a fine choice and looking forward to building that at some stage. Unfortunately the LMS got the kits but not the pricing from Airfix so they could not sell it to me. I have built a few in 1/72 and they always garner interest at the tables at our meetings. A Jag will be along some time soon. No panic. You should start building more TBH and reviewing those kits as some kits can look lovely in the box but are dogs to build.

    Hey Peter - Nice chatting with you during the Apollo 11 video from Steve.
    Do you have any experience with I Love Kit models?

      @@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab lol. I've never built a trumpeter but I have many in my stash as they cover many, especially ships, that no one else does in scales I want. I'm looking at adding to my 1/350 ship kit stash and there are few options. Even if I went 1/700 the vast majority are water line kits and I'm not interested in those.

      @@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab I did some research and you are correct. Reviews are not super hot for the Trumpeter ships which is a bummer as I have several kits (not a top priority to build save for an Assault ship the U.S.S. Iwo Jima - hoping that one is good!). I wish Tamiya would do more 1/350 ships. I'm beginning to understand your...constructive criticism...in regards to Tamiya needing to do a bit more.

    As for kits to build in 2024, I had already decided to go for ICM Ov-10 Bronco (firsti ICM kit), and then go from there.
    And then a wild Oxley reviewed the 'Goulash kanone' and blimey, this bugger has to hit my bench as well.
    Even though the looks of 'Fat Amy' is not my cup of tea, but I am a Tam-boy, so what will go wrong?
    Anyway, happy new year everone.

    fair comment on airfix and all manufactures. do you look at the price range when you take into account when choosing kits as budgets are getting tighter.

    • @Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab
      @Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab  11 месяцев назад +1

      Yes my 'Marks out of 10' rating at the end of each review very much considers the price. 👍🏻

    Very fair Peter... 😃
    I haven't built any of the newer ICM kits, though bI do intend to have a go at some of their new helicopter range - that's an area I'd had little interest in until this summer.....I'll get to it! 😉
    I started the year (2023) with the Tamiya F-35A (with an aftermarket RAF Lakenheath decal set) and at the time it was the best kit that I've ever put together - the painting of certain areas was the only 'tricky' part. AS far as engineering goes, it's the best; it's almost Lego brick style in the way it fits together; even the small fiddly detail parts - of which, there are many! Fabulous!
    After that, I turned to an Italeri 1/48th F-15E Lakenheath edition kit....I was attracted by the Lakenheath schemes as I live near, and work on, RAF Lakenheath... Oh My God...What a PIG of a kit! Not two parts would fit properly!!! It was a shocker....the upper and lower fuselage halves are of different lengths and barely match up; the cockpit details barely fit, and the whole;e thing is a joke...I did however persevere and managed to bash it together, and from about 4 feet away it looks 'OK'.... 😂
    I was building an Airfix Seaking 1/72 scale kit during the summer as who doesn't love a Sea king? Fond memories of them recovering the Apollo astronauts after the Moon flights in the early '70s! 😉
    Anyway, as I was building that, Airfix suddenly announced their NEW 1/48 version!!!! It looked amazing, so I pre-ordered it immediately!
    Whilst waiting for the new Sea King, I started an ancient Revell (1959) HMS Victory which actually came out looking great! Bloody rigging drives you nuts, but I got there, and then finally started the 1/48 Sea King.......
    Just on the home straight now and have the rotor blades to finish....My God what an amazing kit this Sea King is! So beautifully detailed, and the fit of parts is 'almost' up there with the Tamiya F-35A - 'Almost' because there's there's a more complex structure build for the Sea King, and it does need a bit of clamping/holding to get the parts to fit firmly, but that's just normal modelling, right? 😉
    So after all this long post (sorry!), for me, THE kit of the year is obviously the 1/48th Sea King, with the F-35A very close behind - I think the Sea King gets it because there's more actual 'modelling' involved and it looks fabulous (probably MY best finished model from over 50 years!)....Having said all that, I will without shadow of doubt be getting the new Tamiya F-35B... 😉
    So yeah, congrats to Tamiya for a fabulous F-35, but BIG congrats to Airfix for the unexpected and seriously good Sea King kit! 👍 👍 🥳

    I wish ICM would use harder plastic, it is soft, and even Tamiya's extra thin dissolves it too soon. I await the time they produce jets through the years. AirFix should release a Jaguar jet, they were used in UK service, and many schemes.

    Hi Peter
    I hope your new year is good and that your 2024 is as good as any.
    Just a point about Airfix that should be brought out in the open.
    Airfix never take money out of your account until the item is despatched and so the quote they shouldn't take your money before you get the product needs to be addressed.
    I understand that ICM is a prolific release kit company and they are doing extremely well under their present circumstances as you have stated But I also think Airfix have released a high number of kits that are top quality and this has not been brought in the open by your video.
    I am not an Airfix fanboy and have had issues in the past with Airfix myself but I think as a company and the quality of the product they are producing is moving in the right direction.
    I want to make a note as I think it's easy to put down things rather than build things up.
    I would like to see a video from you stating what you really like in modelling , there must be something about this hobby that keeps you coming back.
    I would love to see a video about your likes.
    I liked to see your builds you feature on this clip (Nice work)

    • @Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab
      @Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab  11 месяцев назад +1

      Sorry John, you are wrong: AIRFIX DID indeed take the charge from people’s credit cards 2 weeks BEFORE they despatched, as I clearly stated. They have even now apologised…see my Buccaneer review vid.
