A Welcome Return? - Academy 1/72 Scale Martin PBM-5A Mariner Inbox Review Part 2/2
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Greetings all. Recently I did a inbox review of the Academy/Minicraft B-24, but its not the only reissue from Academy in 1/72 Scale. They also reissued the Minicraft PBM-5 Mariner, but is this kit actually good and worthwhile building or is it a bit of a cheap trick?

Very thorough review of this kit! Looks like a winner!! Nice decal, versions, and propeller options. Making it able to float in the pool would be awesome!!!!! Take care!!

Cheers mate! Yes it definitely seems more than worth it! I'm nearly ready for painting, bit uncertain if it will float but I cant resist haha. Take care:)

It sure does, and the B-24 for all its faults seems reasonable given it’s price in my opinion. And many of the older tooled single seat warbirds are also still great even today I think. Thanks for watching😁👍🏻
Hi Luca Sprues please take a look at my first video I finished that 1/72 Airfix panther they are all hand painted no airbrush. Thanks Alan

I shall have a look👍🏻😁
That was a dream kit when I was a kid, when it was first issued. Yeah, way over a half century ago. Looks like that dream will be coming true soon.

There’s been a handful of 1:72 Mariner Kits over the years, I think the Academy one was new tooled in 2013 under minicraft. I’ve started work on it and so far it’s gone together pretty well. Will hopefully have a build video on it eventually😁

That was when Hasegawa issued it, a long with the Kawanishi Mavis and JNDF PS-1 Shin Meiwa

@@MaxWill-bt2tk Ah yes they did the Martin Marlin too. I have a scarp one of those from a mate that I haven't gotten to restoring yet 😁
