Good lord kids that have to be #*%&ing persuaded to drive a tank? They have to be talked into it? What sort of ridiculous bunch of meek piles of lame lard are they?
why associating war machines with toys? i love james may, but i really hate the propaganda the bbc shoves in. why not rebuild a concorde, or the original wright plane? no, got to be a spitfire and a schooltrip teaching kids how to operate tanks. so unneccessary. i hope.
@thefredd What are you on about? Airfix is famous for making kits of these machines. Tanks and Warplanes were and still are the most popular subjects of the kits. Its not about the plane. Its about the kit. The concorde kit would have only been out when airfix was becoming less popular and I dont even think they produced a wright flyer kit. This isn't to get people interested in aviation history, its about the legacy and decline of Airfix. Propaganda? Of what?
Look at the father at 6:06 ..... Look how he's holding a Stanley knife and how he's using it..!!!
Scary stuff. And he is definitely NOT an experienced modeler. When I see this, I can just imagine him, cutting half his finger off, right after a few parts have been cut to pieces , flying away in an arc across the room. Followed by a stream of blood.
@telescopereplicator The blade is facing away from him and his finger isnt in the way. Yes its by no means the best way to use it but all hes gonna do is scratch his table.
Those guys are GAY or something, if your a boy and you hate tanks, your penis is the size of an ant. I mean what guy dosen't want to drive a tank, or meat james may? I'd love to!
I hate kids who only care about shoes, iphones, and other crap. I'm 13 and I would go absolutely mad if I were given an opportunity to drive a tank, and to meet James. They're so lucky, but they decide to take it for granted. Why are kids like this now?
If someones said to me that Airfix was waisting my time, they would get the best of british, a first class nose bleed LOL, I make stop motion films with my kits, check out my channel :D
I am 12 RIGHT NOW and I love building models!!! I can't believe those kids, they DON'T want to drive tanks?! I'm still mad at my mother because when I was 8, my friend's dad invited us to go fly in an apache (he was in the military). My mother thought it was too dangerous and never told me about it. I feel so sad :(
The tank bit reminds me of a story from a British friend of mine. He was a tank crewman in the British Army. One day on a base, a tank ran into the car of a high ranking officer (the tank had the right of way). The officer got out and screamed "Can't you do better then that?" The driver said "yes sir." So the tank backed up, turned and then flattened the car. :D
Say, can anyone tell me what that grey sedan is that James is walking past? 1:46 - 1:48 or so. My guess is a Vauxhall Cresta PB -early 60's?, but I'm not sure.
im 13 and i drink cups of tea and absolutely love! sitting down drinking warm tea and dipping your paintbrush in a small pot of humbrol paint and glueing my focke wulf model plane. all you need for a perfect model is silence-and a stress free mind with some encouragement =)
And now that i've watched the whole thing. HOW THE HELL could you not think a tank is cool??? I would kill to be able to drive one of those! To hell with your shoes, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
I wonder if I am the only 14 year old watching this who actually makes AirfFix? I first gained interest when my Dad gave me a kit of a P-51 Mustang (my fave aircraft)
Dude, well I was 13 if someone said I could drive a tank, I would of been up an going before they finished the sentence! what is wrong with those kids!
Serious modellers didn't really have much time for Airfix as I recall. Better companies were those like Heller, Monogram, Tamiya and Hasegawa, which produced much better detail with higher-quality plastic, and better decals.
those kids are helpless
