Thank you very much

These 1:72 scale Airfix kits used tome in clear plastic bag, with stapled fold over header; for the princely sum of 75 cents! 1970.

Cracking job on this one. I've never had the courage to even start my kit. And I have the Cobra detail set so should be way easier, right? Some day.

Nice work. I use a fine tipped fiber tip pen to do the tyres. Like the brass wire frame and exhaust. One small point; the Wespe did not (I believe) make it to North Africa as it was only introduced in 1943. Same issue with the Airfix Panther. There were early Lorraine based Marder 1s and the Pz2 based 150mm SP infantry gun, so the diorama base still has potential. There were a very few Stug IIIs sent over to Tunisia for the very end, and of course a few Tigers.

Not built a kit for years, but never used gloves for miliput. What's the issue?

Diamond in the rough, well done Greg!

Great video Greg and thank you for the usefull and instructive assembling tips, it's appreciated. Greetings from BCN

模型太小了

Hello Greg, I am always happy to see your magic fingers and always a stunning result. I am in France , actually working on a detailed version of this old airfix kit. thanks for this video JF

I must notice one really smart move on your side to improve fuselage fit. You have glued all three left pieces (tip, front and mid-rear section) as well as right one and then put fuselage together. Good move. I'm just putting my own Italeri Jag together and now I see what i got after following manual. Far more filling and sanding

Loved it , I sent myself two model kits for my 🎉. Same age ,

What can I say? Another gorgeous, stunning model! Even with some ofnthe setbacks you endured (especially after it was all done and fell off its stand! 😮) you still pushed through and finished it and did a helluva build, another one to be proud of Greg!

7:58 I'm stuck on this part

Very nice build of an equally nice kit - it seems Kotare is a new(ish) brand since they don't have much to offer, but from I can see its very high quality. One think I'm kind of surprised to see here is the suggestions for improvements and scratch building in the kit - that is something I haven't heard about even before. I'm no aircraft builder, but I might actually try this myself for once, just because of the quality of the kit.

Wow that is some serious modeling, what a conversion! Masterfully done! 🫡 My hats off to you for this one! 👏👏👏

Man I love it! Hard to believe it's a vac-form kit! Beautiful job Greg, I loveyoyr channel! 🫡👍

This brings back such childhood memories!

Man, I've just discovered your channel, your skills , patience and modelling abilities are truly incredible. I love building model kits. My brother and i have made loads but not quite to your standard. The problem now is we are terrible, my bro has ptsd and i had an accident which has left me with nerve damage and a dreadful tremor in my hand. We can't draw a straight line between us let alone build a model. Its such a bummer but i don't want to stop modelling but they are terrible when finished. My brother thought it would be therapeutic for his ptsd but it winds him up. Honestly we are a right pair of flids. Keep the videos coming !

I'm building one.

Ha! I'm a Greg also, and first built this identical kit in 1978. I only returned to the hobby last year. 😅 Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺

Beautiful build Greg! I love the whole build, the paint scheme, the detailing. Painting on your own markings and insignia was most impressive too! Looks like it was a rather straightforward build too? Eccellent work! ❤

I remember building this kit in the 1980's

You never cease to amaze

I've shared a lot of stuff around this,I told my partner last night I'd probably done enough to find myself in custody...am I stopping no,I've just retired,they can't take my job...well done tim,thanks for all the effort you make.while one of still stands we haven't lost. Here's to a better new year for all of us,the fight goes on

A unique looking tractor, and model kit. Nice work!

looks perfect, I love it.

It's BENGHAZI, nice little build.

Really nice build and hope you got the engine running, I have the 1:24 Spitfire in my stash, a Christmas present from 2023 and giving myself some building/painting experience before taking on that project and scale.

This product is a waste of of time 11:03 my rod doesn’t fit

Thank you for this build.

You really give life to these old kits. Your craftsmanship is second to none and i enjoy your tasteful weathering

A beautiful job! Thanks for taking the time to put up how you did it

Dont fucking buy this shit i wasted 5 hours just it to break everything because of a spring it kept shooting out everytime i put it back in dont buy this fucking time/money waste

I've just found this series of videos on the Lightning build. It's a very dear aircraft to me as I worked on them in the early 1980s 1:32 scale isn't a scale I build. I'm hoping for a 1:24 scale from Airfix, lol! Regarding the hook. The part that has the slot it fits into is/was known as the "Duck's Arse". You have done a good job as the hook 'arm' itself was just a really big chunk of spring steel. The videos are a pleasure to watch.

All considering it look damn good

Hello, My adventure with modeling began with Mathbox. It was a fantastic adventure. I have great fondness for Mathbox models. the first one was an sdkfz7 pak cannon plus a bmwr75

Got all they to part p9 and they were missing. 😢

Superb work. I like the see through clear part. Be a shame to hide all that interior detail. Excellent seaside diorama. Cars and people bring it to life. Bill

Im playing catch up. Keep up the superb work Greg.

Wow......I mean WOWWWWWWW

I love the “silhouette” approach on the passengers. A great idea for even a 1/144 scale 737 that I’d like to try. I’ll also be trying the the talcum powder/super glue approach. Great build. 👍👌😎

Thank you for all the info and not putting in epic music 😅 very enjoyable

Love your channel. Great to watch a master at work. I will never equal your skills but one can hope 😂

Outstanding build! Thanks for sharing.

I had this kit too in the early 1970's and I wish Airfix would do the same thing they did with their Spitfire and issue a whole new one that would be a real killer!

I don't know what you did to make those wings fit, I'm into number 2 model and the same thing. Massive gap at the top.

Matchbox is my childhood . So many memories

Beautiful build, Jamie. My build experiences largely mirrored yours. Interesting approach to painting the fibreglass/phenolic resin bands on the canopy. The raised Airfix framing on the canopy was a pain to work around and i might take the frames off completely on my next one, much like what ye did with the JP.

Adding all the stencils to my 2 S. Mk 2Cs, drove me bonkers.
