World War 2 Armour - 1:72/76 Scale Model Kit Collection

My collection of WW2 armour (1:72/76 scale model kits)

[@PiperStart]

This is actually a good way to compare the different engineering and design by different nations. It is a great way to study and compare how designers of different nations coped with the demands of the time. I read your comments about dust, and you are right to say that it adds realism of desert warfare. The problem is that the desert sand ruined a lot of machinery, and eventually the dust will damage your models, and it is not healthy for you.

Top collection! Air fix matchbox all the classics and to the music from a bridge to far

[@axelkusanagi4139]

I kept thinking; "How many stories tall is this shelf?".

[@1014kerry]

a terrific video ,so accurate by campaign. and perfect soundtrack timing! 5STARS TO YOU GENERAL FIELDMARSHAL!

[@xxShadowStorm14]

Nice collection. You could have a pretty big war diorama with all those :)

[@pwareham61]

What a great collection, also, it's great to hear John Addison's theme, from A Bridge Too Far. One of my favourite war film themes.

[@paulhills1967]

I think the Hummell is a Hazegawa kit. I can't remember where the Dingo came from.

[@rnl73]

you literally have all of ww2 on your shelves

[@Francis-hr6jh]

I believe you forgot about WW II Planes... which he din't show case but I can agree with that huge amount of different WW II Vehicles! And warships .-.

[@hankrol7830]

A very nice collection of armour. Chapeau.

[@stratojet94]

My favorite video on KZbin. Ever. Operation Market Garden.

[@BabaganooshXD]

im 18 and used to play with these things when i was young not knowing how big it is collecting. lol i love these things nice collection

[@mrgoodiejr]

I thought I had lots until I saw this. You have earned a sub my friend :)

[@Grundag]

Sweet Collection! Great variety! I build 1/72 scale vehicles in between bigger 1/16 and 1/6 scale pieces. They are very relaxing to tinker with and paint ( no electronics ;o)

[@worldwar-2militaryscalemod186]

very nice collection.

[@paulhills1967]

@SwissCheese707 Sorry but I can't be of much help as I made most of these kits 20 years ago and my memory isn't too good. I believe the Chaffee (0.44) and Crusader (0.57) were 'Hasegawa' kits. I can't remember the name/make of the ammunition carrier (1.17). The Churchill (1.26) is an Airfix kit (one of their worst!). Many of the kits are 'Airfix and Matchbox and therefore H0/00 / 1:76.

[@jeanninedrew5449]

That was cool ty Glenn.

[@pyrobadger4241]

Nice collection, great music choice!

[@plastikid1668]

Wow, an awsome collection. Nice video. greetings from germany.

[@torpeboi]

Amazing collection 👍👍👍

[@JackFlemingFan1]

Excellent collection!!

[@paulhills1967]

Hi, I believe the 17 pounder is from a Matchbox kit that came with a Morris truck.

[@koineko2224]

「遠すぎた橋」のテーマ曲というのが泣かせるなあ～！

[@paulhills1967]

Thank you very much for your comment. I would like to do some close up shots but I don't have a Macro lens - maybe one day!

[@marks.6480]

That is quite the collection.... respect!

[@paulhills1967]

They are all painted. It may be hard to see but they are 'weathered' as well.

[@TERM8OR660]

Dude... i saw like 7 shermans! You should do a sherman VS tiger stop motion... it would be awesome!

[@paulhills1967]

@wolf6500 Thanks for your comment. I took a look at your videos - excellent stuff!

[@dadgad0]

Just watched this again. It's one of those films where each time you watch it you see something different. Great stuff. How long do you think it would take you to build them all from start to finish?

[@charlesbright9233]

Some hard work and a lot of time has gone into that collection. Do you ever stage any of them in a diorama?

[@Steve20127]

What a great collection! Well done!

[@monumentstosuffering2995]

Lovely stuff.

[@jeanmarcgalzy7747]

Très beau travail monsieur c est un plaisir pour les yeux je suis abonné !!! et je serai fier de vous avoir comme abonné aussi very good work mister this is a pleasure for the eyes I am subscribed !!!!! and I would be proud to have you as subscriber thank you

[@なすの-x9s]

私もWWⅡ当時の兵器の1/72や1/76のプラモデルの、自分で作った完成品なら、これくらい持ってるかも😅。しかし、出来が素晴らしくて、私も脱帽です👍️!!まぁ、この趣味は、人に見せるまでが、完成形だったりするので…。

[@paulhills1967]

@dadgad0 I'd estimate about a thousand hours. Most were built in the three years that my wife was studying for her exams - 20 years ago!

[@TheBoyo1234]

seriously how the hell can you paint a bult as good as that??? 2nd Awesomest video on youtube

[@wyattplayz3873]

Now all you need is a tog 2.

[@djscottdog1]

super sclection , ive got a 210 morser and i just colect german stuff , very nice vid m8

[@paulhills1967]

Yes, they do.

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

Wooooow! Dude your collection is insane! Sick video man love the collection. Are you going to do any dioramas with any of those ?

[@kimbritton6766]

big thx for sharing with us,they look superb;-))) Kim

[@PVN24]

LoL awesome collection , very cool models I like your video! :)

[@paulhills1967]

Thanks for your comment. Sadly, I don't get much time to model these days but I intend to get myself some kits and get back into it. Take care.

[@paulrobinson4768]

Have you ever built a 1-76 scale tiger or king tiger with complete interior detail? I think it was a fujimi kit but you can see the gun, ammo, engine,drivers compartment. It had the detail you expect from 1-35. Best "little" model ever.

[@igormira_md]

Мужик,коллекция просто супер. Пара вопросов..ты сам клеил эти модели или покупал уже готовые? И какой компании модели?

[@PedroRodriguez-hx7dm]

I haven´t seen the Italian medium tank Fiat-Ansaldo M13/40 neihter Semovente 75/18 assault-gun.Isn´t the Italian light tank Fiat-Ansaldo L3...Is a wonderful collection of tanks and vehicles of the Second World War.

[@paulhills1967]

Thanks for your comments - I bought the kits from various shops over a period of a few years.

[@rodgy3099]

Very impressive!!

[@mscm1969]

A perfect miniatures

[@MrJMD66]

Really Nice, Awsome. The only thing is no originality in german AV camo... Nevertheless you're a pretty good modeller ! just a question: I'm looking for a M36 jackson tank destroyer 1/72 kit, which hobby brand is your ?

[@panhardEBR]

Great collection

[@paulhills1967]

Thanks for your comment. Six shelves in all - one has 1:35th scale models on it (not shown in this video).

[@ristort123]

hood friend that you got the best cars

[@MrDmx123dmx]

i love the shermans

[@paulhills1967]

All models were painted with Humbrol Enamels.

[@wheresfekkesh7375]

Awesome well done👍

[@dadgad0]

Wow. Great video. You must have a good camera. They look like real model tanks on a real shelf. What colour emulsion did you use on the wall? Great shelf brackets by the way.

[@mateuszzbiciak4594]

Where you got this matadors? Btw. Nice wiek dude

[@ampvolt4045]

@glennskitchen, Your collection is terrific and I have to say I wasted many spaces for some other scale. I feel 1/72 or 1/76 armour is worthy for any space. I have bought a big bomber in 1/72 scale which cannot accommodate in my cupboard. I also have numerous 1/72 armour completed but insignificant to yours. However why there are no camouflage in german vehicles and why there are no railway vehicles such as Karl or Leopold in your collection. They are great especially Hasegawa ones though old.

[@paulhills1967]

No, but it sounds like a great kit.

[@theSaltycactus]

0_0, nice collection, how many shelfs do you have? :p have you ever thought about making some doiramas??

[@thefruitdealer4970]

Yeah ok thanks I've been looking for the right Hetzer for a while now, and I'll check that one up thanks

[@paulhills1967]

Thanks for your comment - I don't sell the kits I make - its just a hobby.

[@stevemartin8003]

Awesome.............

[@charleslamb4189]

[@gazrolle33]

[@wizzardrincewind]

you must have a rare collection mate were did you get the catnarad? or German half track bike?

[@paulhills1967]

Thank you for your comment/question. Sorry, but I can't remember who sold the German half track motorcycle - I made these models a long time ago.

[@savageman200]

thanks its a good theme and nice collection im only starting what would be an ideal item to start with cas i have no idea

[@marcof9564]

Why you don't paint the vehicles with the mimetic?

[@laratram001]

The Monument Men =)

[@MrJMD66]

@glennskitchen Thnx a lot ! One more time: really nice job ! =)

[@marcof9564]

what brand is the NEBELWERFER ("Screaming Meamies")?

[@MrKillaRabbit]

Is that the Italeri/Esci Bishop MK1 I saw?

[@paulhills1967]

@GreyFergy101 Sorry but I can't remember the exact name but it is an ammunition carrier based on the M4 chassis.

[@paulhills1967]

Thanks for your comment.

[@paulhills1967]

Gracias!

[@thibaulthumblet6297]

The models are paint with an airbrush?

[@kathynourse122]

[@thomasrussell5892]

Awesome

[@ungabunga8380]

where did you get the sdkfz 251 from?

[@paulhills1967]

I certainly did.

[@hansvanwouwe1958]

Great!

[@paulhills1967]

Theme from "A Bridge Too Far".

[@logannguyen1785]

Nice but maybe add an IS or an IS-2 to your collection. Or a Maus

[@b_de_silva]

Wilen Serra. isu 152 high explosive shells cold kill all crew of the enemy tank

[@NugsSlugsBugs]

Ahhh... the isu 152 could probably take down half of Berlin with that fist of Stalin

[@philipplutki]

Somebody Once Told me not the maus though ;)

[@lastunctives2095]

Couldn't believe it .

[@cuztanksrule4774]

Maybe sort by countries? Its your choice but it would look bette to have Russian tanks somewhere then American vehicles over there, and germans down there

[@cuztanksrule4774]

No problem! I have my tanks organized by country. I have very few french and italian tanks, so it's best to put both of those on the same shelf.

[@wolf6500]

@glennskitchen Thanks!!

[@MiNiSamster101]

Isn't it the M7 Priest?

[@paulhills1967]

@MrRsa76 Gracias

[@Balakirev_]

Can you tell me the name of BGM?It s so beautiful.Thank you very much.

[@TheTotalMacedon]

What brand is the crusader tank?

[@natashaclarke3771]

cool!

[@Rassoul44]

nice

[@legobrandweerforum]

i wish my collection was so big !

[@aediasnaini4918]

Where is Chi Ha.?

[@BearGrisham]

How do you find the difference between some of the 1/72 vs 1/76 scale ?

[@paulhills1967]

There is a noticeable difference between 1:72 and 1:76th scales but it's not a huge one. I just bought the kits that were available and to my liking.

[@АндрейШмырев-ж3з]

Меня больше грузовики интересуют...как дополнение к самолетам...😂

[@Abc78633]

You should do wargaming.

[@paulhills1967]

about 300 models

[@pelledansk8186]
