I had a Testors 1/72 scale CH-46 Sea Knight and was having lots of fun but they pieces weren't fitting together correctly and the I accidentally dropped it on the floor and all but two rotors broke off. I YOU can't glue 1mm by 1mm parts together so now I hate the tiny little thing. I was constantly walking out into the living room saying "Look! Tiny little wheels 3mm diameter" I could have cried when it broke. it was cool. SO now my roommate says the Chinook is better in real life and I am watching videos to see which Chinook kit to buy. I think maybe Trumpeter 1/35 scale Chinook but I'm still watching this video to see if I can tell the difference between 1/48 and 1/35 .
David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Sunday, 29 September, 2024) So-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o cool! Extraordinary detailing and parts breakdown! So much potential for truly dramatic dioramas! If one is rich, one could buy a dozen or more, build them, detail them, add to each the same unit markings, populate them with appropriate combat troops, modified for the setting, augment everything with the signs of combat in progress, set them in a twenty-first century version of a wagon circle, much like the travellers crossing the rough country of the Wild West over a century and a half ago had . . . !
This is a very hard no from me, unfortunately this appears to be a scaled down Hobbyboss kit with all it's faults... Apart from the shape issue, just look at the fabric detail on the tail planes.....They were all metal.
Hi Brett. I believe the US built Aircraft destined for the UK still had the colours the US planes would have. The cockpit would be US interior green, the tail wheel area would be zinc chromate. Those markers look pretty cool, but the RAF cockpit green looked a little bright?
Thanks Nigel, I've been wondering about that cockpit color and couldn't find any reliable info anywhere. Yes, the marker color seems bright to me as well, I hope weathering can bring them down. Thanks for watching!
@@DavidHernandez-ez3gd Hello David, thanks for reaching out. Yes the store is open with Flory products and I did get your order. It will ship out tomorrow and you will get a tracking number. Thanks and take care, Bret
Thanks for the review. Suggestion - rather than keep moving the Sprue to show us ALL the pieces, stop moving the Sprue and let us concentrate on a few parts to note the representative detail.
Great reviews of both this and the Kate Brett, wish it had the splinter protection and I've asked Border if they're going to release this as an after-market part but no positive answer to that. That's stalling me as I was looking forward to doing this after a 1/35 Border U-Boat diorama I did last year on the Flory site.
Thanks for the overview. Please include in another video a simiar look at Hobby Boss's 1/32nd-scale kit of the Consolidated B-24D Liberator USAAF Heavy Bomber. If I had sufficient means, I would buy several of each: 1) another B-24J kit to build as a B-24M. A B-24D to make as 2) a PB4Y-1 US Navy Convoy Patrol Bomber in the tri-colour paint scheme, another as 3) a C-87 Liberator Express USAAF Heavy Transport in a diorama over a model of a DKM U-Boot VIIc (some company makes a segment of part of the hull, the conning tower, the deck guns, and several crew figures in 1:35th-scale), 4) a third in a forced perspective aerial diorama of a low-altitude bombing run, with kits in other scales to represent the big warbird in formation farther away from the viewer.
