  • Summer 1940, the Battle of Britain, probably one of the most important battles of World War II, and certainly the largest aerial battle in the field of human conflict in the history.
    Many representations have been in movies, and countless recreations of flight simulators, they have done the best to military history buffs and lovers of flying machines such incredible feat.
    But never in the history of the reproductions, has been represented by scale models.
    The Great Battle of Britain over the English Channel with replicas of Spitfires, Hurricanes, Me 109, Heinkels and other 1/72 scale models.
    From the original movie "Battle of Britain" filmed in 1969 by director Guy Hamilton and a great cast as well as Michael Caine, Trevor Howard and Harry Andrews, borns that animation project "THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN 1.72"

    Really, really good. I can remember fighting the Battle of Britain in my bedroom with all the Airfix models I built.

    Brilliant!! You've made my week with this. My dad was born in Coventry in 1940, so 'the few' are extremely close to my heart!! 9 year old me loves the model work, coz thats what was hanging from my bedroom ceiling. 48 year old me sees the detail and hears the soundtrack that he grew up with, and has tears. Thanks guys, a job well done 👍.

    Damn you, you've triggered a mid-life crisis in me. 54 years old and I'm off to google Airfix kits which I haven't made since the seventies. Joking aside, what an awesome job you've done. I can't believe more people haven't viewed this.

    This is amazingly good. You very quickly forget about the limitations fof the visuals, and you enjoy what you are seeing. So much work went into this short film too. Wonderful to watch

    An epic remake of an epic movie about an epic battle. The best thing I've seen on youtube in ages. Well done. I had an inner cheer as soon as the Spits appeared!.......Glad the Hurricanes and the Defiant got a look in.

      And all the aeroplanes all have the right engines - which wasn't the case in the 1968 film.

    Bloody Brilliant! As a fellow 1/72 aircraft modeler, professional pilot, WWII re-enactor, and B-17G crew member with 10 hours in the Flying Fortress, this is the best short film I have seen on TH-cam! Your group should have been nominated for several Oscars: Best Short Film; Best Film Adaptation; Best Editing; Best Sound Score and Best Picture! Well done. I have always wanted to model something grand. This made my day. Remember; Check your six, How much fuel is left, watch for the Hun in the Sun, and any landing you can walk away from, is a good one. The last thing; always apologize to your mechanic, Oops, sorry. I broke it. 😊
    Keep teaching history and make it fun. This is FUN!

    This is unbelievably amazing; the best thing I've ever seen on You Tube! The model-making, set-making, and moviemaking, all outstanding; the skill and patience and perseverance to carry such a project through to it's finish is monumental. I can only imagine how much work and time it took, but I sure wish you would make another! Thanks for posting your amazing 1/72 scale version of the movie.

    Stunning ! Beautifully done, great skills in stop frame animation. Told the story very well. Nice to see a ME110 and a Defiant sneak into the film. Excellent shooting and explosion graphics........and nice to see the omission of Suzzanah York in her suspenders. Lol. Well done !

  • @Matteline
    @Matteline 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This is fantastic. Really great work. I love the film 'Battle of Britain' and this is a worthy celebration. I love the animation and the efx of the exhausts and plane going going in flames are terrific. A similar technique as was used on several occasions in the 1969 film! The character moments like the Luftwaffe pilot and the dog, and the pilots clambering into their cockpits. the engines starting up. Superb. You guys should be very proud of what you have accomplished. This is a testament to how even the most simple techniques are rendered invisible by solid story telling and direction.. ...and the sensational Ron Godwin score. 10 out of 10.

    @florentmagen5993 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Absolutely incredible job you have done... Details, animations and perfect use of elements of the 1969 movie. A real "historical animation" even more accurate than the 69 movie (real BF 109 E, BF 110, Stuka 87 B,.. ). A wonderful job to celebrate one of the greatest victory of Great Britain history.! Thanks.

    What fantastic work in every way! The models, editing of the film, special effects. Take offs and plastic discs for the moving propellors worked very well. Great to see a broader range of aircraft types than could be done in the film. I saw this film with my father back in '68 and I enjoyed this as much. Thank you!
