This video came out 2years ago , I would like to say thank you for posting the build , I have this kit and it’s a tremendous help showing how you built the kit. It makes it so much easier to see it being built and to look for any problems with the fitting of the parts, I subscribed to your channel, 👀 looking forward to seeing future builds!!

Even TAMIYA’s old kits are fantastic, detail may not be on point but that’s to be expected from an older kit, but the fit.. my lord, it’s one of the reasons I enjoy building models so much. A good build where everything fits and comes together nicely just makes you excited about the build! A kit that doesn’t go together nicely makes me frustrated and I don’t have a good time building it, and that’s what got me out the hobby when I first got into it a couple years back, BAD kits. But now that I’m back in and I know manufacturers and stuff, I’m really enjoying it. TAMIYA kits are by far my favourite, they’re for the average hobbyist like myself. If you’re looking for a tank to build I highly suggest tamiyas 1/35 KV-1, it’s a brilliant kit and the detail is there, fantastic kit. Thanks for the video! It was amazing to see someone building a model out of the box like it’s suppose to be and not a bunch of excess parts!

Happy New Year to you, another great model. I'll have to try some of those techniques on a B24D model I'm working on at the moment. I'm converting it into a Coastal Command Liberator Mk 3a in memory of the crew (which included my great uncle). He served with the RNZAF as an Observer with 224sqn. The Aircraft he was in crashed whilst attempting an emergency landing 30.10.1942, the registration letter was 'K' and serial number was FK242. He was the Squadron bombing leader and he died with 5 other members of the crew in this accident he was only 24yrs old.

@@GregsModels Thanks for the reply Greg, I don't know much about posting videos on you tube I'm from the time before the Internet and I don't possess your skills. I might have a go though? I've been researching this particular flight for a while now and was part of the group who petitioned Dartmoor National Parks into letting the families erect a memorial to the crew near the crash site, Fullamoor Farm near Grenofen in Devon. The family in NZ were never told much but through research the plane was fitted with the then top secret ASV radar. On the way home from an anti submarine sweep they encountered fuel problems and were diverted to RAF Harrowbeer near Plymouth on the way there the struck 2 barrage balloons and crashed near the air base. Damgaged from the second barrage impact, their wingtip then hit a tree and the plane spun round hit a hedge and came to a stop very near Fullamoor Farm House. I'm working with the Revell 1:48 B24D but it has the old fashioned raised panel lines and I'm trying to decide whether to keep them or recess them instead? Keep safe and best wishes from NZ.

HI Greg, nice kit and your detailing is quite nice. This kit looks very simple compared to the Revell that i have stated to build. Engine for the Revell was more detailed then the Tamiya and also the landing gears. i think i bit off more than i can chew with this kit, by the way it's the IF Nightfighter. I have the Tamiya Beaufighter TF.Mk.X which willbe the next build. Thanks for your video's and keep them coming. Regards from Ontario Canada.
