Do you build any of these kits? Everything I have taken a brief look at, except the comparison views in German Field Guns of Sept. 16th which I watched more than half of are just you showing what the unbuilt models still in the cellophane wraps, and instructions and not build photos. I wonder is this a review channel only? No disrespect intended, mate.
Thanks for watching, yes I do build ,the kits I review, when I get round to it as sometimes normal day life things need doing to,I have put build kits on my channel as shorts.
@@Kitsnbits I got started when an Art professor in the small town university with no hobby store asked me to get a specific model when I went home for the weekend. It was that Tamiya Hanomag that is in your video. I saw it at the story and became curious so I bought one for myself, too. That got me hooked. In my career as a cartoonist I had to come up with three cartoons a week, and each one had to be a new idea and the act of finding a subject and then drawing the idea out, and then going back and doing a pen and ink drawing. It was often quite stressful. So when I finished I would get a kit out and build it. It was relaxing and nice to follow a set of instructions that laid out the entire process, rather than what I had been doing. And I decided in about '88 to not just buy a kit to build then, but to buy something I could put aside for my retirement. Retirement did not come until 2010 so I have a huge stash and I'm still buying kits. So occassionally I got into the old stash to pick out a kit that has been in the stash for decades. I also bought the after market parts for those kits at the same time so that even an old kit will look detailed and competitive with what is on the market today.

Meny moderlers end up having a stash,of kits ,so.e become collectors aswell,,but it is better to build, than not.
