What do you look out for at shows, and what bargains have you snagged? Let me know in the comments below!
I've built the costal command wellington a few years ago. It's a beautiful kit with plenty of interior details. I'd recommend getting a canopy mask set for the clear parts. Other than that, you're in for a great time
I bought a pack of those brushes last year at the Telford IPMS great value and reallly good quality
Now I know that I need to take loads of money to my first show in November.
Airfix Cromwell - when Airfix first released this kit it had the incorrect number of bolts on the road wheels. I’ve read that newer kits include an additional ‘errata’ sprue with the corrected wheels. If your kit doesn’t have these (and I don’t think it does because the extra sprue is said to be in grey plastic and I couldn’t see that in the video) it might be worth contacting Airfix to see if they will oblige.
Thanks for the info!
It's nice to see a fellow modeller, english, who's not "in bed" with Airfix. But has a broader...taste :)
Agreed.while im not british tooi dont look at Airfix through "rose tinted glasses" like they can do no wrong....i notuce a MAJOR lack of helicopters in the current line up....only 3 from what i can see....1 in 1/48 (which doesnt intrest me anyway as i dont build 1/48 due to space restictions) and 2 in 1/72
To be honest, Airfix was pretty weak on my modelling radar until the last year or so when I discovered how much they've changed over the last 10 years. I'm afraid I have no particular loyalties other than to who is making decent kits and treating customers well!
@@jaws666 And actually major lack of 1/35 vehicles. They have some...but not much. And yes, many British model YT'ers "sell" Airfix very well...
@@Aardvarkdk1 I think Airfix has made great strides in recent years, but I'd say their focus is primarily in the home market and British modellers this have a different experience than, for example, US modellers who may be paying much more for a given subject
With the evolution of modeling - materials, paints ,glue etc. - it seems like you have to add " model archaeologist " to our hobby and what better place than a model show. Not having a brick and mortar shop in my city, your tool section was very helpful and your kit acquisitions " envious" :-) With after market accessories the stash of many years can be enhanced. Now I hope some of what you shared is available in the Colonies. Thanks for sharing.
That Tamiya Pz.II brings back memories as I built it around 1970 and was my first Tamiya kit. That was followed by a 1/50 KI-45 Hien. While Tamiya was successful in making 1/35 the favored scale in armor, it failed completely with 1/50 aircraft.
I’d say you got a heck of a good deal on that He219 nightfighter. 😍
Nice haul! Looking forward to future builds.
More to come!
Good to see all the models, especially looking forwards to the review and build of Airfix Comet tank. However the Revell Nightfighter looks a beast differently looking forward to see that build and review. Have a good one
Thanks - it might take me a while!
I have that yak -130 but i dont feel bad as in the real world it was a joint production with Aermacchi/Alenia/Leonardo of Italy and while in the real world they had different avioncs and engines as far as the modeller is concerned all you have to do is snip the wingtip missile rails off it and sand down the excess untill no evidence they were ever there and boom.....you have the Italian version.
Some nice kits there mate. Although, I do believe that Airfix messed up with that Cromwell kit. Pretty sure the main wheels have the wrong number of bolts on them. Mind you, I wouldn't call any of Airfix's 1/35 Armour kits as real Airfix. They are all tooled and produced by Academy. Not a bad thing though. Academy do make some good armour kits these days.
The Cromwell is an Airfix design, tooled by Academy - like the ambulance, Ferret and truck that'll come out this year. It's one of the reasons I wanted to get it because they started with reboxed Academy and then went into designing themselve and had Academy tool them,so I think it would be an interesting comparison
@@MannsModelMoments How do you know that Airfix did all the designing themselves? They may have just done the box art / design and the instructions. Back in the day. Airfix used to totally produce their own 1/32 armour kits. Such as the M3 Grant etc. I would have preferred it if they totally produced their own 1/35 armour kits. All these recent 1/35 armour kits. You may as well just think of them as being Academy models.
@@Andy.Gledhill.Models.Because Airfix themselves have discussed this - it's a smart way to enter the market, to partner with a company with existing products and then use their factory to make what you've designed. This is common practice and not restricted to Airfix - why reinvent the wheel? Academy have good Provence and experience making these types of kits
I just received an email telling me that the Do-217J from Revell 1/48 has been reduced from £56.49 to £52.18 at Jadlam. It's still not as good as your show bargain.
Nice haul. Thanks for sharing.
Su-35 (actually Su-27M, T-10M-7) from Trumpeter is a piece of shit accuracy and details wise. Complete 60 Quit waste. JF-13, Wellington, Stuka and Whirlwind are gems.
Donno about He-219A from Revell, seems to be the decent one.
To be honest, not too worried about the accuracy for a £15 kit I can just enjoy the build and painting, and use it for any future experimental techniques!
@@MannsModelMoments … “…I can just enjoy the build…”. What a radical concept, actually enjoying building a kit 😮
It’s the only reason I build… for the enjoyment of building, sanding, painting. As long as the finished project looks even vaguely right, I’m happy.
@@ernestgalvan9037 Absolutely! Otherwise it becomes work, right?
2:48 Huh? The M4's innovations included a gyro-stabilized main gun, fast power turret, assembly that allowed for quick field repairs including the transmission, wet stowage for ammunition, and driver/assistant seats that raised up and down for heads out operations. Large hatches lead to quick vehicle egress which resulted in a very low 1 of 5 crew loss per knockout blow. You're simply parroting an old "washer-wives" myth that the only thing the Sherman had going for it was sheer numbers. 🙄
No, I'm not, I have my opinion grounded in facts that is different to yours. The M3 introduced a gyro-stabilsed gun, wet stowage for the ammo was a sticking plaster fix to stop cook-offs from penetration and large hatches appeared on many other tanks before it (T-34, for example). All tanks evolve, and the last M4s were very different than the first, but it's main strength (in my considered opinion) was it's weight in numbers. It still looks like a big ugly box to me with high profile, average armour, average gun and average performance. I know works of fantasy like the film "Fury" make them seem indestructible and cement the myth of their brilliance in the US collective mind, but they weren't. That doesn't affect my opinion of Americans or US forces in WWII, either. We won the war together, and should celebrate that cooperation.
lol I mean im still not sure the russia Ukraine issue is not our fault here in the states - its putin and biden lol the russia people are not at fault
The average Russian on the street, maybe not, but there are many more than Putin involved and benefitting from the corruption and political compliance that has led to the present position, including state media and those who support all of that.
