Taking a break from 1/32nd scale kits to take a look at a nice older kit in Monogram's 1/48th scale TBD-1 Devastator Torpedo Bomber.
-
Returning to aircraft kits by Revell with their 1/32nd scale P-51B Mustang kit. Look forward to a future full build video featuring this kit.
-
This week we take a look at an interesting kit with Bandai's 1/7.5 (my best guess as there is no official published scale for her) Fumina kit.
-
First new review video of 2019 after taking January off. We will be looking at a very large aircraft kit this week from Revell with their 1/32nd scale Beaufighter Mk.1 heavy fighter.
-
Sticking with Revell aircraft kits this week by taking a look at Revell's 1/32nd scale F4U Corsair kit.
-
Back on aircraft this week with a look at another Revell kit with their rendition of the P-47N Thunderbolt in 1/48th scale.
-
Switching gear this week and taking a look at another armor kit, with Hobby Boss' 1/48th scale Pz.Kpfw KV-1. This week is also the first week that we will be doing videos in 4K, which should hopefully help improve the ability to see detail on kit parts.

OK so here is part 2, showing all the work done on the cockpit and internal area. Couple things to note. This was the first time I have done any large scale video project, so I openly admit the length has everything to do with my inexperience and lack of skill in editing combined with this project being alot larger in scale and scope then I initially though. As such treating this as a learning experience and will try to keep the length down in the next part. At the moment I am waiting to get some feedback on this one before I start editing the next part to get an idea of where I need to improve and if I should split it into 2 parts.

I ended up using fishing line for the rigging, which I plan to show in part 3 tentatively. After what all happened working on part 2 I am debating splitting the next part up.
-
This is a big reason why I do these videos, as it creates these sorts of discussions on the history of model building. Also because some, but not all, of these older models still can hold up today. They may need varying degrees of TLC and other work, but they still will build up to pretty decent models.

Been waiting a little while to post this, but since the first full part is now out I feel comfortable posting this. So this is the first part in a series of videos I am doing on the Stearman that I built for this years contest. I had originally planned to release this monthly following the first full part, which I will post tomorrow, but because of the large time investment of editing all of the footage these will instead be coming out bi-monthly. So look forward to it.

Looking at another aircraft kit this week with a kit from a manufacturer that I have never hear of prior, with Jo-Han's 1/72nd scale F4U-1 Corsair.
-
Going back to large scale aircraft this week with a look at Revell's 1/32 scale Spitfire Mk.IXc kit.
-
Late getting this posted due to being on vacation last week, but taking a look at one of the earliest rockets to be used by the United States in the very early days of the space race with Glencoe Model's Jupiter C kit in 1/48th scale.
-
Actually I already have built it, and was in the next few days going to start posting the build videos for it. Don't know if it still qualifies for the group build, and I also can not get more photos of it as its now in a museum, my IPMS chapter did a contest and the wining Stearman kit got you a ride in one (N3188 seriously go look up the tail number 😄 ) and to have the kit go in a museum.
