    This was so much fun to watch. Seeing my own stuff used is super weird, but I love it. Overall you did a great job, and RFM really fixed any issues there were for the kit.

  • Nicely build my friend I build the old one and found it to be a great build. Now seeing what's in the new release. I think I'll have to getting the new boxing. Another enjoyable video will look forward to your next update
  • A great choice of Kit Kai I was recently looking at this kit to purchase rather than the previous release by RFM and your rear stowage bin does look great and a bit daunting to build in P.E but great results all the same thank you again for showing this and happy modelling to you. 😎👍

    I just picked up their 2015 release of ryefield 503 kursk with full interior. I need to get the sprues they just released with the hoses and stuff for engine, etc. Its an awesome looking kit
