Regardless of the mistakes, this is a good kit to have fun with.

I have to agree with Roy here.  The idea of in-box reviews on Youtube is a good one.   I watched several of you reviews and they are all the same.  But what fails is that you don't know anything about the kits or subjects that you review.   As an example - the tracks in the M-4A3E2 kit you link to above never were one piece "rubber bands".  They were always as you show them - one piece where you have to connect the ends.  And none of the well known accuracy issues of any of the kits you "review" are mentioned.  Also you can see more of your hands than of the actual parts.

May I offer a sincere suggestion? I think the usefulness of an inbox Youtube review of a thirty year old kit that is frequently in the $10 table at model shows is very low.  Then you're comparing it to Dragon kits when the real comparison should be the Tasca M4A3E2 Jumbo -- DML doesn't make a Jumbo.  By not being able to compare the kit to the modern-tooled Tasca version, you're not really telling the consumer anything of value.

The huge accuracy issues (terrible turret, terrible nose armor) with the Tamiya Jumbo don't get addressed either.  Again, a serious deficiency in the overall usefulness of your youtube review.

Perhaps you can choose a new release, research it carefully for build issues and accuracy issues.  A filmed review of something like that might be useful.

You're mispelling the manufacturer's name too.  It's Tamiya.

Looking at a older Tamyia kit, the M4A3E2 Jumbo Sherman in 1/35th scale
