I wish I lived in Japan! Unfortunately many of the modelling materials you use are unavailable in UK! Great work by the way and the sub- titles are a big help.
I didn’t realize that the optional parts I used were not available in the UK. I will continue to add English subtitles as much as possible, so I appreciate your continued support.
@@Meoto_mokei thanks, you do very good work. Like many Japanese, you have great eye for detail! I probably need to go on a shopping trip to Tokyo and visit Mr Tamiya!
@@Mike-mm4mx Please visit the Tamiya shop in Tokyo. It’s definitely a lot of fun. www.tamiya-plamodelfactory.co.jp/ Also, there are many large model shops in Akihabara and Shinjuku, so I recommend checking those out as well.
So a very expensive model kit ends costing the average builder a fortune in extra items and upgrades.....it somehow removes the enjoyment the great majority of builders on a somewhat limited level ( retirement income and or jubilation etc...) amazing work!!!!! those people that are fortunate to have both time and money
Not necessarily though. Nearly all my 1/32 models are from brands such as Revell (ex. Piper Cup, Mosquito, etc.) and ICM (Tiger Moth, etc.) carrying sale out price tags of below 40 dollars. I really recommend Eduard´s 1/32 ("weekend edition") Bf 108 four-seats utility plane, which is of fairly high quality for a very low price. I´m mostly interested in classic civilian utility 1/32 models however, and I know of only a few 1/32 kits worth a much higher price. Such as Lukgraph´s De Havilland Dragon Rapide and Dragonfly. For very high price tags I would dream of vulnerable parts (propellers, landing gear, etc,) to be of die cast metal. I really don´t get why no model kit brands are offering that.
You’re right, Japanese fighter planes certainly had a unique beauty. Their sleek lines and refined forms are quite captivating when it comes to design. While history speaks for itself regarding their success, their appearance is definitely something worth highlighting! Please continue to support the channel!
