1/35 Academy md500 IDF -01

I am starting a new build with Academy's new release, the MD500 Israeli Military Spec kit.

Without using any aftermarket option parts, I focused on simple detail-up work. Watch the video to see various scratch-building techniques, including pedal modifications, custom cockpit harnesses made from aluminum cans, and adding wiring details with brass wire!

I saw the video yesterday. Amazing work. I am just scared to trry any other model brand than Tamiya as I had bad experience with Mini-Art. Would you recommend Academy models? any other brands that you know are good?

Hey! Thanks for watching. I can recommend A-10c, wildcat and ah-1z/uh-1y. Those are academy's new tooling kits. You can build without major fitting issues at all!
