Aww Sophie
not cat approved lol
A Cpt. VFC short? We are being spoiled! 😮
Yes. I am amazing
Don't look too bad.
I guess you really DO get what you pay for.
That british mockery of yours it is so characteristic. By the way, I can't believe the box review. Good Lord, have mercy on this poor clumsy soul!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. One remark, I'm mexican, and I'm not defending Turkish or anyone else since all are equally worthless to me. The one thing I really hate is the contemptuous way. F U. And for you to keep this down inside you, the model is not by any means as bad as arfix models in the past.
I can not see this kit being anything but just ok. What is really wrong with it?
Huh. Even if it's crap, I learned something today. The real aircraft is actually a Siebel (of Siebel 204 fame) design. It looks kind of like a license-built Piaggio 149 which I thought it was initially..
I just finished making the Airfix B.XVI version in 1:72 and loved it. This PR version is on my list of must-do aircraft, along with the Tamiya 1:48 Pr Mk.IV (and maybe the bomber variant if I can find space for it). However, next up on the build schedule is my other favourite WWII aircraft - a Beaufighter TF Mk X. I spent 5 years at RAF North Coates in the 80s and knew that Beaufighter operated out of there in the war, but only after the station closed down in 1990 did I learn about the North Coates Strike Wing and their attacks on coastal shipping off Norway.
I gave up building kits as its so expensive now and im too old to turn tricks at the truck stop to afford a shittu Revel kit even
Original kit came out in 1986, btw
It can be made into a nice kit
You kinda get what you pay for here....😂
Hey, I just got this exact model just before you uploaded this video, lol. Have a good whenever you read this.
I bought not one, but two of these in 2023, and did not have the excuse of being a little inebriated. Both of them where donated to the oxfam shop in Dublin late in 2024. So apologies to anyone who bought one.
That is what you get for very little money. Reminds me of people complaining about re-popped AMT kits originally from the 60s.
Waiting for the build video. That one should be quite entertaining!
There is no better purchase than a drunken one, especially where kits are concerned.
Nothing wrong with a drunken purchase....we have all been there
Time Tunnel models has it for sale for £4.99.
@the.just.able.biker67 bargain. Maybe I'll buy another...
@VFCproductions Save yourself 99p and get the 1/72 spad xiii by academy. I'm currently building it, and it's a pretty good little kit apart from the instructions being in black and white with no mention of which colours to use for the camo. 🤣🤣
@the.just.able.biker67 standard Academy of that era. How do I know? Check back to the channel in 2 or 3 videos time...
@@VFCproductions Will do. 👍
Greetings skipper. I do like your slightly err "different" videos. Buying and making cr*p models so that we don't have to. Ta muchly.
Absolutely hilarious, loved it from beginning to end. Always wondered what PM Models kits were like and thanks to you I don't need to buy a kit to find out. Thanks again
This company's kits are pretty shit
This has made me chuckle from start to finish… the old ‘purchase whilst drunk’ scenario… what could possibly go wrong??!! Your commentary sets the scene beautifully… it’s actually quite a pleasant subject matter, and I’m looking forward to the outcome. Long live drunkenly purchasing tat… we all need a hobby!! 🤗❤️👍🏻👍🏻😜🤣🤣
I'll be back for the build video!
Not much to say really! It's not good, but as you say, with a little care and attention, a nice paint job and a lot of patience!, it should, or could be, reasonably OK. Probably not another kit of that aircraft about, so what can you do? 5 or 6 quid? 🙈🤣 Entertaining video anyway mate, good job! 👍 😁
Only built one pm kit twice, the hawker sea fury in two colours silver and a dark blue. One RAF one Australian airforce!!
@@JohnSmith-ve8mj I have built that (video on the channel somewhere) and really enjoyed it, but it was in the original Pioneer II box
OUCH! I've just watched Matt from Model Minutes unbox a Mistercr@p Dewoitine 520. IIRC his worst kit of last year was a PM Model Spitfire.. almost replaced the P with an H then *LOL* Now I see more punishment for my eyeballs :) I'm assuming the product code is so the unwary can avoid it :) 'Add weight'.. no indication how much though, a microgram, milligram, gram, kilogram? 'This is not something you should build if you've never built a kit before..' No it's something you shouldn't even BUY no matter what your skill level! :) 'This is not the kit you are looking for.. you should go away and re-evaluate your life if you bought it'.. Obi-Wan Can-opy :) There's more Flash than a bloke called Gordon in a camp 1980s sci-fi comedy film :)
@@julianmhall spoiler - the end result of that D.520 looks good - he did very well! I'd like it if I could do as well with this
@@VFCproductions I wouldn't expect anything less. Proof you /can/ make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.. well faux leather handbag anyway ;)
I ended putting my one in the bin. My one was horrible 😞
@hueyJoe135 this does not give me much motivation to start this!
Is it REALLY 1/ 48?@@VFCproductions
You'll do a great job on it 👍
I finished mine, it didn't take long, and it looked awful; I found a pilot that I could 3d print to be in the cockpit. Still looked awful. So, like you, I binned it.
Not bad, really. If it were in my scale 1/72, I'd grab one.
I considered getting this for one of my recent GBs on the server, glad I didn't now lol
@@ModelMinutes embrace the flash
PM models are awful ,
Never built a KP kit, but they do tend to do some interesting and rare aircraft that other manufacturers don't cover, so if you fancy something different, worth a punt. Looks ok, bit of flash but short run so no real surprise. Not a deal breaker, modelling should be a combination of problem solving, skill, luck and most importantly, fun! Nice review mate, thanks. 👍👊
Nice recovery Lee! 👍 Beautifully finished model, cheap and cheerful (apart from the quality issue!) and great practice , knowing that if you make a boo- boo , you haven't just wasted half a days pay! 😮 I built the 80's tooling as a kid with airfix and humbrol tinlets, and was one of my most favourite builds back then! Ive got the starter set in the stash so might take another look. Cheers Captain! 👊
Hiya Captain. Lovely little build here mate 👌 I think your reasoning is spot on for the finishing, and even if it wasn't, it's your model, your rules! 😊 I bought this kit myself just over a year ago for a mojo boost and bashed it together in an evening. It's a great kit of a frightening weapon, and for a tenner (i bought mine at hobbycraft too!) can't go wrong! Nice finish on this one, really enjoyed your vid. Thanks 😊👍
I have got an airbrush but I don't know how to use it could you give me a bit of a voice
@JackHargreaves-i6w I'm not really sure I'm the best one to ask! General rule is to make sure it is always cleaned after use, but I just had to try and work out things like paint ratios and technique by just doing it. Sacrifice an old model to practice on and watch a tutorial from someone more competent than me! Also don't give up if things don't immediately go well as it will take a few attempts to get the hang of it
Hiya. Really enjoyed this build mate. You've made a lovely job of that paint scheme too! I totally agree with you on the subject of these easier/starter sets, they aren't just for beginners! Sometimes its just nice to throw a kit together and paint it up without too much stress! I've got the new starter set 109 on its own but haven't buikt it yet, but you have made want to crack on! Great vid mate, look forward to the Mustang 👍👊
Ordered it from Super-Hobby because I wanted something cheap to experiment with panel lines and washes. And dear lord I hate this build at every step of the way. The decals are shit, the plastic is hard as hell, stuff dont line up properly and never mind that my box came WITHOUT ANY INSTRUCTIONS.
@JonathanLundkvist well the instructions aren't great anyway... I ended up using this kit as a butter knife for a silly skit and it was bad at that as well
Great result. In these days of people saying how they have the nicest 0.15mm H&S airbrush and use the currently de rigueur lacquer paint (I believe Outlaw is currently "the best", but it'll become "rubbish" when the next one arrives 🤷🏻♂️), you've achieved a lovely finish with water based acrylics and what looks like a 0.3mm Fengda. Well done. Nice mottling, especially it being 1/72. The overall look is very nice too mate.
@GavinNerazzurri thank you, and yes it is a 0.3mm Fengda - well spotted! I do have some Outlaw paints to try on a project, but I'm not fussy. A lot of the result is the skill of the Modeller!
I'm glad I didn't go for this one lol
I tried out the Dogfight Doubles with a 109 and a MK5B Spitfire. Might be starter set kits but they make great little models in my opinion.
Very nice build - i've got one of these to do at some point as well
Shadcam lol
Almost a yr the new starter sets/double sets haven’t arrived in My local shop in Australia well done Airfix. They managed to deliver the majority of the 2024 range but not these kits.
TH-cam has a video of the CEO that was part of the James May episode. He left Airfix and did a subsequent vid at the same time publishing a book. He mentioned that Airfix selling to Australia was a challenge. Speaking to hobby shop owners about Tamiya and they say they too are a difficult company to order stock for Oz.
@ true we get em just the not gift sets
Really like the addition of the decals on the tail. Any recommendation where to pick them up from? I’m not a crank, honest. Just appreciate the historical accuracy.
They are from a set from Xtradecal (Hannants).
@@VFCproductionshowdy Cpt....guess what i heard through the grapevine about a new release from Airfix this year?
Yes, Airfix have certainly upped their game in recent years.
Agree. Competition has got Airfix to put the game face on 😊
Great job with a rather natty little kit!! What I also admire immensely, is your ability to achieve such effective results using paintbrushes that look like they’re made from forcibly extracted nasal hair… very impressive! Keep up the good work, love the channel!🤪🤣🤣❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Clamps are a god send
Great little kit.......have it myself
I suppose they go for these European Bf109 theatre schemes as that theatre probably sells better than others. It's a pity because some of the Bf109 North African schemes are really simple for a beginner to paint.
Nice build, looks really good. My own is in the dark green and earth RAF camo of 1940. I must also say that the Gloster Gladiator is my favourite fighter of all time, never really been a Spitfire or Hurricane admirer like most people seem to be.
