This is one of my most famous models but for all the wrong reasons!

I received the kit as a gift from my non-modelling friend and honestly, I would never consider building it because it’s Revell. But after I finished my Tiger F13, I wanted something simple where my expectations would be close to zero. And I thought that a poor kit from Revell would be fun to build and mock on YouTube. As it turned out, the kit wasn’t as horrible as I was expecting, but the video I made for it was pretty unhinged.

Combined with the time (the start of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic), the clickbaity title, and my cringe-inducing delivery, it became one of my most successful videos. I’m not proud, but hey, I’ll take it!

It was also my first attempt at a scenic base, and I never looked back after this model. Scenic bases, and later dioramas, became a stable part of my work.
