I have a sealed kit with base. I also have one built in front of me. Palm trees add an extra mile. Nice touch with the tank. Very nice paint job. On everything.

I remember getting this, the tank and the soldiers over 50 years ago!

Omg sweet memories from a golden era 👍🏾👍🏾

Just found this vid. I’m 77 now and remember these kits. I was always buying Airfix kits as a kid and even past that . Thank you for sharing

Oh I never had this but wish I could go back in time and spend a rainy afternoon making it like I used to

Cracking job, great idea, nice to see another Geordie on here

Great dioramma; time to get my hut , tank , shelter & figures out for a play...

I remember the 1/32 scale one, very foundly great build.

I recently built a vintage classic type 97 and paired it with a British 25 PDR on a small base board. It was meant to be in line with the stories my grandfather told me about being in Burma/Myanmar in WWII and serving with the Artillery, but my recollections of the stories are not very detailed and I am sure that he left lots out.

Thanks for sharing the build. It really makes history come to life.

Oh yes, this brings back the memories had massive box  with thousands of airfix soldiers. Wish I'd kept them .

Great work and I had these troops back in the early 80s!

really doing these kits justice , great detail and finish

Great work! You just proved to us models that you don’t have to have the most up-to-date kits to make a great diorama. I learned a lot watching this episode. I am inspired to pick up a couple of vintage kits and do the same!

That would be a nice re-release

Really love how this turned out Neil, everything, the hut, the figures, the Japanese tank, the groundwork, excellent job! Love it, great work sir! 👏

Thanks for the memories of my childhood

Para mi los soldados japoneses y los anzac de Macchtbox son las mejores figuras de 1/72 de la historia. Y con la casa de la jungla jugué mucho hace más de 40 años. Muchas gracias por los buenos recuerdos

Never had this set, but I did have La Haye Sainte, the Roman Fort and Sherwood Castle: what wonderful memories ❤

My grandfather said have fun with it when you're making it!
Which ment, don't fully follow the instructions but make it your own.

Wow, this was a random watch but glad I did. Very impressed seeing such a simple kit set from childhood built properly. Often things can look over weathered. You got this just right especially given the small scale.
