I think one value of a 'plastic' reproduction of something like an original black powder flintlock British Light Dragoon (Cavalry) Pistol is that it could provide the necessary wood/metal structure and composition measurements for a actual working copy!

Lucky for you...your mom has a big basement.

So it’s plastic not wood???? I’m glad I found this before buying I’ll save for the real thing for my channel

I built the Pyro kit in the Day

If the kit was a new tool in '82 then I believe it was that kit I got for Christmas of that year. Built, painted and displayed by that evening. No time for gap filling and sanding sticks back in those heady days of my youth.😂 Also, why does the box art show the chopper being flown by Starsky and Hutch?

The conflict began in 2014, and from 2022 it is the so-called "Hot Stage" or a full-scale invasion.

Wrong bridge, but still nice.

Nice review, for me, it is hit or miss with Trumpeter kits. I have build some that do not have as many parts as this T-72B and those were a nice build. For me this kit appears to have too many tiny parts, I built the Meng T-72 with a different ERA, I found it to be ok, The tracks were individual with separate guide horns, I am finding that the speed of length and link are more to my liking.

Would like to have seen it completed and painted.

I've been sitting on mine for a while, but I've been tackling it lately along side the trumpeter LAV III and AVPG cougar "early version". Their in the painting phase now.

What's in your current model queue to build?

If like a original colonial mount, the mount plate should be brass. That may be why the textture is bubbled. Sand casting in colonial times was primitive. If you do go thru with this build. I may suggest Tamiya paints as I find their metal pigment is very realistic.

Good God , that is junk 🤮🤮👎👎

I had the F-100, probably the Lindbergh version, somewhere around ‘78, I think. That picture on the box looks like an F-100C by the wing.

The Winchester is a really good looking modle when done.operates like the real one

In the 70s I built the winchester,the peace maker,the Turkish flintlock,the s&w modle 29,the colt python,ND the German p38.all working replicas.

Continental Army ☆ It's actually called Breeds Hill 🗡 and even after dropping over 400 Bloody Red Coats 💀 WE LOST THAT ONE 💣

I had this kit they were $5.00. Had about six different kits a klintlock a winchester a matchlock

...you've got a new subscriber...

...WOW!!! I remember that miquelet pistol!!!

....IRC they had a number of 15th,16th & 17th century arms

..I remember these from the late 50s to the mid 60s!!!

Back in the early 70s, i had a kit of the Kentucky Long rifle..it was non fireable, but otherwise was completely realistic, the stock was inleted for the lockplate, working hammer and frizzen..etc...loved the thing, until my father used it for spanking the heck out of me..... things were a lot different then

Dislike for wining around about the SMO markings.

I had the plastic cap and ball revolver kit as a kid. Never completed it for some reason… probably was too complicated for a six year old. Thanks for the memories this video brought back

In NH they sell real kits you can build and shoot. There like $300.

Very neat

Great job , keep it up . Super information for a huge collector such as me . I have a huge collection of spare parts and rare kits . If you require any that you might be looking for ? Feel free to contact me . Warmest regards from Alberta Ray in Canada o7 .

David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Monday, 30 September, 2024) I several years past had a full-size model kit of the Colt six-shooter. A neighbour had a fully functioning replica of the actual revolver, which looked generally similar, with relatively minor differences here and there. He had allowed me to examine it for the details, from which I had improved my kit. I also had seen at a model store another kit with a pair of those much older pistols vaguely reminiscent of the weapon that sea-pirates had wielded. A third in a much longer box was some sort of flintlock.

Great review. Firebirds at the end is a nice touch .

Very nice

Very cool

Very cool

Well done!

Beautiful model 👍

Scary... indeed model precision and manufacturing have greatly evolved since those days. When I was young, many years ago, I had some LS kits, much better than this one, and since I bought real antique guns, no need to say more. But at least they were rather realistic... About this kit, the first impression I have is that it will be very hard to make this so-called pistol resembling a real one, even from a long distance. The way the lock plate with these ridiculous engravings no real antique pistol ever had tells a lot... it looks like those cheap reproductions made in zamac for tourists. Well, if PileOfKits manages to make a somewhat realistic pistol with this kit, he's a champion !

I had the Miquelet pistol kit when I was a kid. That was fifty years ago. Yup, I’m old. I remember I spray painted the lock gold and the stock brown.

REVELL, MONOGRAM, AURORA. A great brands gone, but not forgotten

I found one of their kits a couple of years ago. I assembled it and used modeling clay for weight I have it hanging on my wall in my den. I aged it a little and it almost looks real

This whole kit is all plastic, I don’t know how you can’t tell the difference between a wooden frame and a plastic frame. The frame is plastic

Having this in the UK willl get policrmenn hiding in your house.

I had several of these as a kidin Idaho , mid 60s . Loved them

Thanks for a great review,I am looking forward to more videos.

I don’t remember IMC models but I think these kits were done by AMT. I had the AMT version of the Skyraider. I built mine in the late 60s. I could be wrong about these being made by AMT, that was a long time ago.

Fond memories of mine!

If you have a drill you can convert that to a working firearm I reckon

I had the single action army, 1860 and 1851 navy from the pryo line

I had that one and the Colt back in the early 60s.

My parents got me another kit in that series, the "Dutch flintlock pistol", for a Christmas gift a VERY long time ago. I think it's still packed in a box somewhere...

The D7 is such a cool design.
