• WHATS IN THE BOX? THUN...
I hope you enjoy this video. This is my 102nd "WHATS IN THE BOX" kit review and I hope to be completing this model when i have the necessary skills to do it the justice it deserves in a bout 10 years time. I have a model collection/stash of 33-40 1/72 Spitfires which i am currently building badly for the amusement or to the annoyance of my fellow CZcamsrs, As my competence levels are not sufficient to complete this model it will be held in reserve for when i deem the time is right. If you would like to see the of 33 Spitfires there is a link to my collection below. As a novice modeller my intention is to learn the various assembly techniques and skills required, especially that of painting, so as i can produce half decent looking models, I concluded the best way to do this is to start with something simple, personally i think the best way to learn a new skill is repetition; try, try and try again. Hopefully by completing these 33 Spitfire models i will learn a few tricks of the trade. Whilst doing this I am also hoping to improve my VERY basic CZcams skills, so far just uploading these videos has resulted in tantrums of titanic proportions, yes unfortunately i am also techno-phobic.

Hi Andy, thanks a lot for this review. I try to catch up (like&comment) on your videos but with so many excellent ones coming so often I struggle to keep up, excellent content creation work, makes me think your choice of fıregoing editing has paid off.
I had bought several zvezdas, all ships, back in the day. For large models their prices were good. With the current political turmoil, in my haul video I tried to be diplomatic, reviewing a zvezda together with a roden from Ukraine. I was lucky I had both in the same batch.
Hi @fotograf736, i am experimenting with scheduling and making a few vids in advance and trying and release one almost every day. Regarding editing i still intend to have a go at that but i think it will be kit building vids, these shorts vid dont really think need it and would massively increase production times which would be a bit of a problem for me, all of what i do is unscripted and 90% is one take and done. This kit and my opinions jeez what a hot potato this has turned out to be.
👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the double thumbs up @Reset317
WITH THIS MOTORCYCLE ,YOU HAVE THE MAKING FOR A RUSSIAN RECON UNIT FORMING SIR.YEAR AGO I BUILD A 1/48 SCALE GERMAN MOTORCYCLE/W-SIDECAR AND MACHINEGUN.LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE MANY EXTRA PARTS FOR OTHER PROJECTS.I BUYS WHATEVER KITS I LIKE NO MATTER WHO MAKE THEM.TAKE CARE GLUE TROOPER AND MODEL ON
I know a couple of Ukrainian fellas at work so my thoughts on the whole political situation are fuzzy, i have been called a "Snowflake" and a "xenophoobe" today so i doubt i will be having opinions on such matters too much in the future LOL. #though i am kind of looking forward to receiving and showing the other Zvezda kit i have on order.
TO ANYONE WHO HAVE STUDY HISTORY ,THIS WAR IS WW2 PART 2.FOR THAT PART OF THE WORLD.HELL ,I GOT CALLED "BABY KILLER" DURING VIETNAM WAR,AND I NEVER LEFT THE STATES.I'AM TOO OLD TO GIVE A DAMN ABOUT WHAT OTHER THINK. THERE WAR A WAR GOING ON WHEN I WAS BORN AND A WAR WILL BEING GOING ON WHEN I DIED.F-THE WORLD AND MODEL ON@@TheNoviceModeller
Hey Andy, I've never seen a " Russkies" kit, looks pretty good. I can't imagine the Russians being allowed to have a hobby and actually having hobby shops and kit manufacturers . Very capitalistic of them :-) Anxious to see how it builds out. Cheers Bob.
Careful they are watching LOL. The motorbike looks great the figures hmmmmmm
@@TheNoviceModeller Yes, I have my phone and computer wrapped in aluminum foil 😎
I built a different variant of that kit with an MG mounted on the sidecar. Assembly of all the small parts was a little bit fiddly, but it came together very nicely. The figures are decent and it's nice that they give you a couple different options on how to assemble them.
Hello again @armymenaroundthehouse, thanks i'll be careful of the fiddly parts, their appears to be many, hopefully i wont make a gluey mess of it.
I wouldn’t worry about where a kit comes from it’s a manufacturer not from a government and as you stated they happen to be the only maker of the model that interest you. Enjoy the model my opinion only.
you are right Kevin, its just a model kit and buying it or not buying it makes little difference to the reality of the situation, though i work with a few Ukrainians so my allegiances currently lie with them.
@@TheNoviceModeller yes, I understand same for me I live in Taiwan and some friends don’t like what is going on with China but sometimes China made things are the only producers or products offered on the island. Example Meng models.
I can imagine that situation being rather difficult and to be honest well China makes so many things and even the things they don't put together have Chinese components in them.
@@TheNoviceModeller that is so true about what you said part of life.
Hi Andy. An interesting model. Typical of the Russians at the time, stick the biggest gun you can on the smallest vehicle you have. I am suprised that you don,t recognise some of those parts as you are interested in motorcycles. I don,t know if you have had a bike or not. Any way the kit it self looks ok. A bit of work with the edge of a blade will sort out the flash. I think that I would build the bike completley and then paint it. I,m not sure if you can keep the wheels loose so you can spin them slowly to paint the tyres. Overall Zvesda are not a bad kitmaker , they make some interesting kits. As for the Japanese one WOW, you paid through the nose on that one. But its what you want and thats good enough. I did the same thing years ago when I bought a diecast crane, 60 quid. I thought bargain, and then I got hit by a import tax that was nearly the same amount again. So I look forward to seeing it. I bet it will be tiny. Anyway good video. Oh yeah. Don,t forget copper wire for the cables my friend. Good luck buddy.
I'm not particularly interested in motorcycles, i just thought they are an interesting kit that for me poses some interesting problems with construction and painting because they seem very fiddly.Yes well what can i say i may have been a little over enthusiastic when i purchased that Pit road kit, i am not blaming the bottle of wine but it may have influenced my decision LOL. Maybe i will have a go of the copper wire technique, we'll see.
@@TheNoviceModeller Hi Andy. I thought that you were into bikes ? Did you once say that you were helping a friend with his motorbike ? Oh well , no worries. Hey don,t worry about that Japanese bike kit. We have all bought things that were a bit to expensive. Don,t even get me started on the cost of some of the model railway stuff that I have bought. It will make your eye's water. Good luck bud.
i'm into cycling, got a couple of road bikes and a touring bike for my tent and stuff, not done much past two years as i'm getting a bit creaky LOL, though i have done some rather epic things on two wheels in the past.
You may notice that that bike looks a lot like a BMW which is what the design started as (an early BMW) and then the Russians cribbed it. The Germans by this time were using an upgraded version. Tamiya 35316 BSA M 20 motorcycle, Bronco 35035 Triumph 3Hw Motorcycle,
Thanks for the British motorcycles will have look at them, didn't realise it was a Bmw, interesting stuff.
If you saw the Zvezda 1/35 Panzergrenadiers you'd know just how bad Zvezda figures can be! I dare you to review them on your channel.
Hello there @martinoconnor4314 and thanks for watching. i have added it to my shopping list, i will see what happens next time i engage in a mini buying frenzy
@@TheNoviceModeller Thanks for your reply but please don't, they are truly awful, I was only joking. They are on par with the Starfix 1/48 Spitfire and Bf109 kind of awful, they will make your eyes bleed.
LOL another viewer recommended Starfix to me and i promptly went and bought a 1/72 Mustang i enjoyed building it and videoing my experience immensely, just in case you haven't seen it PMSL

have looked at a few other rather nasty looking "eye bleeder" kits and have a few more to look at and build i the future, my favourites are Ventura Spitfires from New Zealand, built one, five more to go.
@@TheNoviceModeller lol, the Starfix 1/48 kits are legendary for their awfulness..... don't ask me how I know, I'm too embarrassed to say.
It was a while ago that I built the Zvezda 1/35 Panzergrenadiers but I still have them.
Try to imagine Frankenstein's monster in German uniform and you'll get the idea. Their body proportions are just wrong and the faces were designed by some poor sod that had taken way too many hallucinogenic drugs in his youth.
To be fair the parts didn't look too bad on the sprue, its when the assembly is finished that the true horror appears. The one thing that sticks out in my mind even more than their ears about the construction was having to scalpel off their ears so that their helmets would fit.
So if you like to build truly awful kits I would recommend anything by Starfix in 1/48 (preferably Spitfire) and the Zvezda 1/35 Panzergrenadiers. Good luck!
Cheers at some point in the future "Zvezda 1/35 Frankenstiens monsters Panzergrenadiers ear surgery" i think i may have to work on that title LOL.
Being a model maker,If Theirs a certain zvezda kit I would like ill get it,good kits I have about 6 1/35 scale small kits motorcycles and figures, and a T 34/86 ,german elephant tank destoyer, and the new T 14 Armata.
I have this one and something else on order. I'm going to try to ignore them unless its something i want, that i cant get off another manufacturer
@@TheNoviceModeller yes very good I would.
👀looks a nice kit ,but of a quandary the model kit manufacturers like the athlete ,s didn't start the war so should not get the broken end of the bottle for it imho. 👀👀 watch out for 80 quid customs sting on your package if your unlucky and get a kick in the teeth from customs and excise😠😠
Its one of those kits that got more interesting when you open it. My opinion on the Zvezda issue is really just an opinion that i started out with, i own this and have another Zvezda on order, so its an opinion that is withering, though interestingly i have been called a "snowflake" and a "xenophobe" in a comment on the haul video this featured in, by a viewer who's subscribes to channels for Red Army Marching Bands, so its obviously an interesting topic.
@@TheNoviceModeller sadly you can never win with politics someone always got a different pov ,just keep doing what makes you happy and spend your hard earnt money on what you like .think y'all should have done a Vodka review as well 👍😂😂 See 👀 you in the next video young un 👍.
LOL i wasn't even trying to be political, i considered the statement to be akin to i prefer coca cola to Pepsi, though i used to prefer Pepsi to Coca Cola, until they messed with the ingredients......... because of reasons, the reasons being erm political, too much sugar bad, you want sugar pay more tax ..............or smoking bad, but feel free to smoke, just pay more tax etc etc etc. Its a funny old world LOL.
@@TheNoviceModeller 👍👍
