- So I thought it was about time I built another ship. Because ships are cool. I got this HMS Ark Royal (with HMS Eskimo) on sale at the local hobby shop.
Sure it's not the best kit... but it does the trick. It looks like Ark Royal and eskimo. Sadly I didn't count on it being so hard to see once I'd primed it...
This model did require quite a bit of filling work in order to look reasonable, so I'd probably avoid it if that's not your thing.

TWO SHIPS FOR ONE, that's pretty good
Agree
Did you see the vid
I guess it's quite off topic but does anyone know a good website to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Roman Oscar flixportal :)
@Moshe Richard Thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I appreciate it !!
Whoever thought it was a good idea to put that sinkmark on the side of that lifeboat needs to go scrub the poop deck.
No. He needs the gulag.
@HMS king George V You must be new here. Care to look at the playlist literally called 'Painting with Herbert Erpaderp'?
@HMS king George V how does that makes sense? If he painted everything on the sprue and slapped it together afterwarts it still would have shown.
I did not have a sinkhole in my lifeboat
In my time l have never came across any model that was 100% perfect you did a great job with this model seacially the distroyer well done
Tamiya supra or revel 1:1200 Gneisenau aren't far from it, anything that takes half A day to complete because it's moulded nicely is something to appreciate with these, especially that Supra, Gneisenau needed some stuff cutting off but other than that the rest went together lovely
Panzer Maus packing in the background....**heavy breathing intensifies**
Yoman Drz when and where?
Takes me back many years er decades ago. I built a lot of these waterline models and fought battles on the carpet.
Great video of a classic kit! What you got is standard for plastic ship kits from that era. I know cause I was a teenager back then. Actually, this was a highly sought after kit for many years. Being as it was the only kit of a British aircraft carrier and destroyer that were waterline kits. Japanese kits from Tamiya and other manufacturers weren't really available yet. This is the first time I've seen this kit actually. I've always known about it but wasn't ever interested in getting one. Tastes change and now I've got a small collection of 1/350 and 1/144 along with a quartet of 1/72 scale ships and subs.
I'd really like to see you painting this one. You've really done a great job !
I remember building this back in the 1970s. The DD was the Ashanti, though, not Eskimo. Tons of fun for a little kid!
It was middle 90th for me. Model building started from this kit.
The kit's from 1967, Revell H-483. I built the kit in 1975 when it was Revell H-312-250. Your build is the latest use of the 1967 mould, 2017 Revell 05149. A great kit if you take your time.
50 year old molds, that's crazy. Still pretty interesting, one last effort by the old molds before they're retired and forgotten by time (and then Herbert comes a stabs it...)
I built this kit when I was about 15 years old in 1975, I had no problem with it.
Well done mate. Seriously you have done a great job of an old kit. Al
Herbert reads the safety sheets so you don't have to. Be thankful people !
Built this kit about ten years ago and I had the same issues as you did.
I built and painted mine as part of Force H during the hunt for German battleship Bismarck. It even has a squadron of Fairy swordfish.
the tips for not trying to glue the entire length of the hull are a good idea. I am waiting for this kit to turn up so will probably keep coming back to this vid for ideas. Will try not to create "battle damage" on Eskimo though 😁
I hope you have fun with it
Every model kit maker that sees revell on a box has low expectations
Luka Šlibar for a while I only built revell thinking it only gets worse and I built one tamiya kit and nearly stopped making revell kits
Same with aurora kits. Aurora SAN nautilis.... so disappointed I pointedly sank it with my bb gun in the creek on our property @ 1970.
That is not true. Their newer kits are great
@Justin Marion revell has some good kits, but most of them are old moldings with very low quality, especialy the cheaper ones. So far I have made some decent revell modern jet fighters in 1/144... But if you want a good kit, take tamiya
@Justin Marion their 1:32 planes are great.
I got this kit too excellent build I painted it to instead of using masking tape I just did it separate before glueing the rest of the hull on
Just bought this for $30 at Hobbyco, the fact that is was only $30 and all the other ship models around this scale were $50 and up, plus this video, gives a very clear indicator of the quality of the model. Still had to buy it as always wanted to do a carrier and $30 for a crap model is good enough for a trial run especially when you get two ships instead of one
5:10 Oh we have *all* been there : )
Where are you from? In my country this kit costs only $17-18
I built this kit when I was a kid. I liked the Tribal Class destroyer.
Revell had a whole series of these back in the 1970's including Prinz Eugen/Blucher, Franklin, Arizona/Pennsylvania and Alabama/Mass. Alabama was probably the best of the lot but still bad compared to the japanese 1/700 kits that came later on.
Hey whats the diffrence of 1/700 and 1/720
Yeah, I built that same kit decades ago. Disappointing that the molds haven't been re-tooled since then.
Temper, temper, Erpie! Lol. I'm with you there, mate. I know the feeling of frustration!
It's the same old injection molds from 1967, and the model was re-boxed and re-released in 2017. Also, it looks like it's resin, not styrene. Same old Revell 🙄. I've got one coming and will look forward to building it... 😐 Pom-pom was the nickname for the 37mm British QF 1-pounder anti-aircraft gun. It's named that because of the sound when firing: Pom, pom, pom, pom...
I always wanted that kit as a kid
Carrier has arrived!
I got two ships from one kit too.Bismarck and H.M.S Hood
When this kit first came out it was probably the best that could be manufactured at that time. But that doesn't excuse Revell using the same moulds half a century later. Talk about scraping the barrel......Cheapskates!
neat! thats an old one.. i recently built a stuka from the '80s.. a new old stock one..
Still have mine and the DD @ 1970. Did a what if.... borrowed a few F6Fs from the uss franklin kit for the air group.
Just thinking....Trumpter has released the Ark Royal circa 1939 re ently. Its pricy but a much better kit.
I just picked up a half price Revel 1/700 Bismarck at my local hobby shop sale. I don’t know when I will ever build it but the price was great.
pbeccas build it it is a great kit
Can't wait to see the Maus video hopefully it will be painted soon after?
Unlike today, the model kits from the mid-twentieth century were produced for different age groups, or modeling experience. Including cheap kits for beginners, early teenagers. Mine you, long before snap together kits existed. Fifty years later these kits don't pass today's detail requirements for adults. They really never have.
I think he probably built the Airfix version when he was younger
noice, when are u gonna show the fully painted kit?
dat good supposedly in a long while like a few years I just asked him on stream
I’m borderline having a stroke with the fitting my small 2 GCSE mind can’t handle it
I made the same mistake of impulse-buying a 1/700 Graf Spee, its very different to the 15mm and 28mm stuff I'm used to.
It's not necessarily a mistake. It's good to try different things. Even if you don't end up liking them.
Yeah, I'm sure it'll look great once I get it painted.
I made the same kit as a diorama 2 months ago, mine was ok
I built that kit in the very early 80s. It probably is from the late 60s.
Destroyer for destroy :)
You should do a Tamiya 1/350th ship kits next ;)
I think that's a bit too much money for him, they do cost a lot of money
5oM3duD3 unfortunately true for all of us. But we can dream...
@@la6335 agree pi bought hms hood it cost 70 dollars
He doesn’t have that much room
When i worked on a garbage truck in Canada in the 90s someone had thrown out the airfix version untouched . The irony is my grandfather served on her and other ships 1st and 2nd world wars .
Oh yes :)
Nice comrade Can you mayby do a kit of a il 2 stronk plane
And hey herbert i bought it though
What i don't get here is why they produced great colour instructions for A crap kit, And crap instructions for the interior kit of A type xxi, being printed in black and white when it needs to be colour
Thats the same old kit i built in 67 or 68? I thought i really scored to get this Revell 2 in 1 kit!
Mine didn’t have decals
Hello there..., i bought recently the same Kit for 12,-€. I had no Issues with the Kit..., maybe i was lucky with the Mold...
Very old kits ... The destroyer hull is pretty much unuseable. The Ark is better but you'll have to use some PE in order to make things look right! On the Ark : where are the anchors?
I read PE as 'plastic explosive'. So first thoughts were 'a bit drastic but who knows maybe the recently blown up look is de rigueur'.
heyherbert =) how are you ? greetings toshix22
Where i can buy this kit?
Don't
5:11 why would you small that i did had problem but i would never destroy models if the kit is properly done
If you don't like it I can have it.
It's not that I don't like it. Just it's clearly not the best model ever.
An absolute waste of money
Hey herbert January 31 is my birth date
WTF I BUILT THiS IS WELL WTF
