None of their 1/72 aircraft kits did, you would have to find one from the spares box or an aftermarket one. Keep up the good work.

Very nice work, just need to find a pilot figure for it. Looks a little more realistic when the props turning.

Nice build and construction tips. 👍🎬🏆

New to the channel mate and already you've got me a bit jealous. Great build and I'm tempted to build one myself although I've never built a Revell k before but seen a couple of other Arados built n they look to go together well. Keep up the great builds n content buddy and Happy Modelling

Another great build and video!

Great build and presentation.

Lovely paint job that brings the frizbee to life.👍👍👍

A great video. Any suggestions on motorising s couple of kits I have on my pile of things to build. Both 1/72 scale. A He111Z and an Me 323 Gigant

Nifty piece of work.....👏🏻👍🏻👌🏻

Thats a very nice kit. The paint job makes it look much better.

hey up theres a church roof where mike lives missing some lead from the roof !!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

AMAZINGNES!!!

Hi Mike would just like to commend you on the firefly outstanding job and nice to see a local modeller on TH-cam. You've brought my mojo back 😊Gareth

The Heyford! Makes a brilliant & interesting subject for a model. But, have you ever thought - who designed this most impractical & ungainly aircraft? They must have been in the process of a mental breakdown!

It's very nice work.　I think this is well done. But, The exhaust pipes are facing the wrong direction, but this is because the assembly instructions are incorrect. Many the Heyfords exhaust pipes are installed facing downwards and are combined into a horizontal exhaust pipe at the tip. The exhaust pipes in this kit do not have a combined exhaust pipe, so they must be installed facing downwards with the exhaust facing towards the rear. It seems that the person who wrote the assembly instructions mistook the base of the exhaust pipe in the aircraft photo for the combined exhaust pipe at the tip. Exhaust facing forwards would result in poor exhaust efficiency and reduced engine power, so this arrangement is completely impossible.

Wonderful job building and painting the Tempest. Motorizing it is on a higher level. Too bad no pilot figure....looks weird running without one. Happy hobbying. Bill

Such an odd looking aircraft. Nice build though.

I've been lusting to build mine for a while, but i only have one, so I will need to get a second one to maintain my complete Matchbox collection if i do!

Wow! I have a Matchbox, Heyford! I was only looking for a simple build video to help me with mine when I found this! When your video said "motorised" I looked at my kit and thought, how the heck do you fit motors into this? Last time I motorised anything was back in the '70s and the motors were much bigger. Then you come out with the tiniest motors I've ever seen! Where do you get these? I might try this with my own Heyford as your result is super impressive. Well done! 🙂

Loving your videos Mike, I have been motorising my models for quite a while but your method of fixing them is far better than my Milliput method. Also, how did you get each motor to spin in a different direction? Wondering if you crossed the wires when joining the two? Brilliant work, thanks!

This brings to mind one thing I very much liked about Matchbox's 1/72 airplane kits and tank and softskin kits, they have the guys! 😃 And a number of them were nicely detailed.

Lovely job mate

Hard to resist.

Thank you very much Mike. Seeing the exact resistors takes some of the ‘voodoo’ out of it. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Ian

Nice build but is it me that your exhaust facing the wrong way?

Have to say that moment when the contra-rotating blades started up hesitantly for the first time was magic! The cogginess looked pretty cute!

Mike, thanks for the video and explanation of what resistor is best. I can now try it out.

I may be wrong, but I think the propellers should spin in opposite directions to counter the rotational forces.

Why do the exhaust stacks point forward ?

Top job!!

Very good I like it could show how you fit the motor in the kit. Thanks

Beautiful build - mine is still in the stash - I now have a couple of ideas....thank you.

Soooo Helpful, Any chance of showing us what 'spec' of motors you use?

Cheers Mike, I am still using a hair dryer to make my props spin but that may change when I do a helicopter. Have a Great Christmas Sir.

Your videos inspired me to put a motor in a 1/72 SBD Dauntless last year. This year I have put two in a 1/72 PBY Catalina, and they share a single 1.5V battery. Thank you for sharing your work.

Excellent video mate 👍

it is a cool aircraft

I like your content but feel you could knock off 10 mins of your video if you didn't point at things so much. Too much faffing about, just get on with it. Probably says more about my attention span though lol.

G'day to you, I am a bit late but I had this Model back in the Mid 70s,I painted it in RAAF colours, fitted Rocket Pods on the Wings Twin 50Cal. in side door and Minigun in the rear, didnt look to bad! Armadale West Aust.

Nice to see you again! Lovely build, especially with that extra magic touch with the spinning props. There's something of the 'steampunk' look of these old beasts (and many of the 1930s RAF heavies) to my eye....... and you've really captured the feel of one here. Nice work 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻

Lovely build.

What motors are these?

splendid👍👍👍

Cool model. I'm a new Sub on your channel. 👍

Why does it have American markings . As far as I know it was never sold to the US ?

I've been working on this same kit and have been looking al over for other people builds. So thanks for uploading this.

Nice job motorising the props Mike. 👍🏻🙂

If you are using super glue for filling gaps, you could try the bicarb trick to dry it instantly and build layers quicker.

Great build. I have this kit in my stash, I'll have to give it another look.

Awesome result from an interesting subject.
