Airfix 1:76 D-Day Battlefront Diorama Kit Review

[@garyjust.johnson1436]

I just got this airfix set from hobby lobby for 40% off regular price and i can see i will need another one to fully display all the vehicles, figures and extras! Great video, great content. Good job!

[@simonhart9325]

A good kit. I’m building mine now. The only thing that has let let it down is the paints. Most of them in my were either un-numbered, dried up or even empty!

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie6037]

I guess the paints arn't that hot from what you have experienced. Thanks for letting us know.

The Sherman was moulded in green on my kit

I have one question if you paint plastic figures from flexible plastic the colour standing good? I wonder.🤔

[@MDScaleModels]

Most model paints will tolerate some bending. Extreme flexing will likely crack though.

Interesting video . Subscribed !

Everything in this box is made with almost 50 year old moulds and unfortunately it shows, especially the figurines.

[@ken12345616]

Yes, the new Sherman and Tiger are much better. The German infantry are ok but the Paras really could do with an update.

Great set

[@martinoconnor4314]

I was given one of these as a present, I sold it on ebay. The tanks are 1/76 and the soldiers are 1/72.

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie6037]

I noticed that when I saw the different scales on different boxes. This has been an issue in this scale for quite awhile now.

[@Mailed-Knight]

Is that 1/76=25mm and 1/72=28mm?

[@bearmaster2384]

Got it great kit cool tanks but my Sherman didn’t have its turret

[@MDScaleModels]

Oh man. That sucks. You could contact airfix and they might be able to send you one.

[@HLLTAF]

Handy video

[@theodwyer7838]

the instructions are really bad im pretty much done with this kit but in the diorama at the back the painting guide for it is really vague it just says what colours you need but not where, also the picture has things which arent included in the set like scatter, also there is no guide to painting the figures at all and the paints for it arent even included (it says you have to buy the paints for the people separately on the painting guide)

[@nonzmcgonz]

Mine didn’t have tanks.

[@MDScaleModels]

I’d send it back and get one that has everything.

[@kayafza]

This is kind of cool

That's britain for you 😊🇬🇧 ( my home country )

Hi great vidddddd

[@topcat4759]

A good set let down by the poor old British paratroops. Widely known as one of the worst sets of Airfix figures they ever made (originally issued in 1965). Otherwise base and rest of the pieces are great for the price. Would consider using Italeri figures and "Dragon Armour" vehicles as good subsitutes.
