Thanks!

Welcome back and thank you for the quick show. Looks like some very popular and sought after kits. I spent the morning looking for a putty scraper and all I could find were box cutters.

Being a fellow modeler, I would gone for my x-acto knife instead of a putty knife. Just a thought

Cheers

Yeah.. good point. Mine is actually upstairs with my workbench up there. But I should probably start thinking about putting together a kit for down there. I think that area is mostly going to be for painting though. When I get that far.

Cheers,
Jim

Get a hair cut, just because its not as warm does not mean it can be left.

Interesting that SKP Model has once again failed to include an amber option** in their set of WWII era vehicle reflectors even though they have clearly included them in their modern vehicle kit.

** Forward facing reflectors on the CCKW loadbox were amber NOT red.

Great show, Jim... though painful to watch you bring a putty-knife to a box-cutter fight! I kinda’ took a visual inventory of your workspace and swear I could’ve found some other tools to open packages with... oh yeah, how about that bench grinder? 🤣

Cheers!🍺

Or at least use your keys, much better than a putty knife.

I realize now it was the entertainment factor along with trying to figure out what the heck the kit/item is when he opens it. I must admit it, I get more enjoyment watching him rip open boxes followed by try to explain what it is he just opened. A call out to the companies that ship items to Kitmaker, please make it harder to open the shipping box(s)

Cheers

Really nice that you show photos of the kits being reviewed on the webpage. Thanks, Jim!
