Halloween special! - Unboxing the Spook-tacular Mistercraft Tribal Class Destroyer in 1/600.

[@ModelMinutes]

As terrifying as this kit is . . . Build video when?

[@Sarah-JaneR32]

Eskimo is probably referring to the person who did the instructions, seems they wrote them while shivering in the cold, good luck working out how to construct it, model on

[@MichaelCampin]

I've built about 6 x2 of the Tribal class but they are 1/1200 scale. 2 in each blister pack. Dead easy and fit really well.

[@neillowe8230]

This just has to be an 'almost' direct copy of the Airfix Tribal class kit I've built a number of times over the years, though with added "lumps" instead of the Airfix hull's recessed 1.2mm dia port holes and upper deck "stanchions". What an awful thing to do to a classic (although already inaccurate) Airfix kit. Hope you can make something of it.

[@Dazziosan]

The bit thats bugging me is "Her Majesty's Ship Eskimo F75 - 30th December 1938"... Are they sure?!

[@alexeveryman5080]

Flash as an extra bonus, PS material I have never a looked at it like that, thank you.

[@roarexenl]

build it my friend!!!! Im building a mi8/17 hip from them!

Mister Craft are we in Purgatory VFC?

[@mh53j]

I haven't seen Mister Craft here in the US-- thank goodness. I can't imagine anyone would pay to import these regurgitated lumps of plastic.

[@jaws666]

The funny thing is SOME of their kits are actually quite good

[@WayneWelly]

You should do a live build of this lol

[@VFCproductions]

That's a pretty good idea. I may need a stuff drink on standby though!

[@jaws666]

Time to get the Air Rifle out.

Some of them are actually ok

[@truthhurts9241]

@@jaws666 I'm sad to say, I don't actually know whether that is good or bad, never had a Heller. I'm either a skinflint or just live where they are not readily available. Your thoughts ?

Well, at least there’s only one part 16 in this kit!!😂

[@VFCproductions]

I forgot to check!

[@lxtechmangood9503]

Build it !!!

[@swing.wing_singh]

Nice. So much extra flash for so much extra money. You're actually getting exactly the deal you paid for 😂. Build it however. Let's see how much extra after all 😂

[@mjpspit]

Looks indeed like the airfix Tribal class.

[@VFCproductions]

It looks like a reverse engineered Airfix one to me. Whilst the parts look the same they have a different place on the sprue

[@VenlyssPnorr]

The instructions also appear to say "Eskimo/Cossack/Nubian". I mean, I know they were all Tribals, but what do Cossack and Nubian have to do with this kit? Did I miss something? Or is this just another Mistercraft mindf*ck?

[@VFCproductions]

They are other releases of this tooling, I believe. Or maybe a spoiler of other boxings yet to come?

Mistercraft kits are really awful,how are they making money as a business?

Make for very little, sell to Hobbycraft
