Feeling like poo today with the man flu so having a bit of a binge watch of your vids and this one set me thinking. I'm 62 now and been building kits since I was a whipper snapper and these days with this interweb thingy making access to channels like yours, Scale-a-ton etc make me think think you have all made a deal with some dodgy bloke at a crossroads somewhere 🤣to be so good. But getting back to my point, what a time to be alive as they say. All this 3D printing and the quality of kits these days makes me wish I was in my teens again. What are the next 50 years going to bring as long as the younger generation keep the hobby alive. Have you seen those fabulous WW1 era 3D printed motorbikes from Copper State Models and Gaspatch have released a fully printed 1/72 Me163 which I really fancy getting.. Having a couple of resin 3D printers myself which are capable of great quality I would love to see the types of machines these companies are using. I assume they use a professional 3rd party to produce them. Wish I had the patience to learn CAD to produce bits 'n' bobs.
Looks good, from a quick glance it seems the conversion could be a right royal , but with the comprehensive instructions , be a piece of cake. Having used a 3d printed conversation set(the revell Lancaster grand slam) I wouldn't hesitate to use another 3d printed item. I was also impressed with the packaging of the set and you for managing to get it back in the box without breaking the scaffold
Hi Jamie. Have you seen on Aeroscale that he's also done some cockpit part sets for the MkXIV. He's clearly very passionate about what he's doing judging by the quality of it.
Stunning bit of design and printing you have there Jamie. Can't wait to see it come together. After coming-apart of course!
I can't wait to get started!
That 1945 Burma scheme with the Panther is the coolest [and I am from Canada]
It's very cool
Cannot wait to see this build! Magnificent set plus a Tamiya Spit - cannot fail to be a masterpiece.
Will be next year!

Go careful, man flu is way worse than lady flu!

It's so much better in the flesh!
Looks fab!! Laminar Flow Design are also producing cockpit parts which look awesome!!
Seen that, with the Barracuda Studios stuff on order this should be really detailed
Looks really great. Those cages are a pain for reviewers though! Looking forward to seeing you work your magic on this "all out" model.
Thanks mate
Can’t wait to see you build this! I’d love to buy this conversion set, when it eventually comes back into stock 😅
5th November I think mate!
Do you have a link for this kit?
laminarflowdesign.com/gb/
Fantastic set. Please build this one on priority.
It will be after Xmas mate, got a few projects to clear first and I need to get a bunch of Barracuda Studios bits first

Yes mate, I have the alarm set for when it goes live on sale! I'll be getting a load of Barracuda Studios bits too!
Fantastic exhausts!!! 👏🏻👏🏻
I can't wait to paint them!
Looks fab Jamie. Do you think you will keep the Mk.VIII tail from the kit?
No mate, I bin everything after a project
@@thescalemodellingcafe Sorry Jamie, what I meant was use the kit tail rather than the Laminar Flow conversion part.
You have to use the conversion part mate, the XIV had a bigger fin.
I guess Christmas came early!
Lots more Barracuda Studios in my Xmas wish list for this one mate!
