I hope plastic model fans all over the world will enjoy my video.
なぜウェザリングしないのですか？ 美しい航空機が好きです。たとえ実機のように見えても、汚れた作品は好きではありません。 Why not weathering? I like beautiful aircraft. I don't like dirty aircraft even if they look like real one.
なぜ1/48は作らないのですか？ 家が広くないので1/48はコレクションに適していません。たまに大きなキットを作りたくなったときは1/32を作ります。 Why not make a 1/48 kit? Japanese houses are not large, so 1/48 is not suitable for collecting. But sometimes I want to make a big kit. At that time, make a 1/32 kit.
なぜ作業風景を写さないのですか？ 作業風景のあるビデオは多くのかたが投稿されています。短時間でキットの内容を紹介するビデオを作りたいと思っています。 Why is there no work scene? Many creators have posted videos with work scenes. I would like to introduce the detailed contents of the kit in a short time.

David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Monday, 7 October, 2024) Builders of this kit, for another perspective on detailing it, first take a close look at this video: “Tamiya 1:48 G4M1 Rikko (Betty)” (rebelsatcloudnine, Saturday, 25 February, 2017), which shows the assembly of the Tamiya 1:48th-scale kit of the Mitsubishi G4M1 Imperial Japanese Army twin-engine bomber (Allied code name “Betty”). You can use this to make more accurate the smaller model. The box evidently includes the unit markings for the personal transport of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, commander of the Imperial Japanese Navy, and planner of their attack upon Pearl Harbour, when on 18 April, 1943s the USAAF’s Lockheed P-38G Lightning Twin-Engine Single-Seat Fighter-Interceptors shot down his aircraft and the three escorts-another “Betty”, and two Mitsubishi A6M Zero Fighters-accompanying him. A suggestion: create a forced perspective ærial diorama (FoPÆD) of combat aircraft in various scales (here, just two), the smaller models behind the larger. First, acquire one of Tamiya’s G4M1 bomber kit (its tail number is “H 324”, whilst the Sword replica’s is just “323”), one of their 1:48th-scale P-38G Lightning model, an A6M Zero model in that scale, and 1:72nd-scale kits of the latter two. Second, build them all airborne (propellers spinning, undercarriage retracted, their doors closed, the crew figures in their seats, etc.). As this is a highly dramatic encounter, one must position the flight controls sharply deflected to illustrate such highly dynamic movement of sharp manœuvres. The USA’s warbirds swiftly dove upon their quarry from high altitude. Meanwhile, the enemy pilots were caught completely unawares, so their planes would be falling to the Pacific Ocean, in mere seconds having suffered catastrophic damage.
@@ScaleModelsJPN Paul Freilers was in Torrance CA back when and closed his two model shops around the 1990s. He displayed some nice scratche built Models and now the location is a chicken sandwich location. I remember a 1/48 B-29 that was a good scratch built diorama. He built some models like a car for James Garner that was a replica of a car Garner drove in a movie.
Hi! Lockheed Constellation and Super Constellation are ones of most elegant aircraft ever designed. I was not aware that there was a military varriant of Connie!... The kit is surely not something to write home about but the model looks fine in the end. PS: I've been missing your kit assessment. Glad to see it back! 👍
Thank you for your comment. I think the best 1/144 Super Constitution kit is the Revell 2006 NEW TOOL kit. I couldn't get the Revell kit so I made the Academy kit.
Nice video and very nice build .To bad that Academy got all the small windows wrong giving the model a rather cheap and toy like look....if you know what the real plane looked like . They corrected this on their E, F and G models so strange they did not upgrade the early models . Otherwise a fine kit .
Interior to the rear of the cockpit was dark green then aluminium from there rearwards. Instructions are not correct. The circle engraved either side of part A21 is a porthole and requires drilling out and fitting with a clear part. More research needed on your model.
I have been to the crash site of one of the british B-17Cs . The waist gunners compartment was definitely the american Zink Chromate Green ( not a british color ) . Perhaps this was only applied to aircraft going to brittain , I dont know . A color photo of a YB-17 with the crew door open appear to show an unpainted interior . The later F and G models were unpainted in that area ( probably also the E ).
Thank you so much for your quick response. What I've decided to do is to initially prime the interior fuselage and other parts Vallejo Black Primeer and then apply my base coat using AK acrylic brick red AK 11093. Once that's completed I'm going to seal the process with a Matt Alclad II Clear Kote Varnish.. Then I'm going to try and paint the geodetic pattern and using AKI's new acrylic aluminum paint pen. I will forward the pictures to you when I'm completed again thank you very much for your rapid response.
Thank you for your comment. I don't remember exactly what paint I used for the inside of the fuselage. I think I probably mixed Mr. Color No. 41 REDBROWN 40%, No. 7 BROWN 30%, and No. 3 RED 30%.
Thank you for your comment. I thought Mr. Color No.14NAVY BLUE and No.71MIDNIGHT BLUE were too dark. So I mixed No.14 NAVY BLUE with No.5BLUE and No.1WHITE. I don't remember exactly what percentage I mixed it in.
Thank you for your comment. Overall fit is good. However, the fit between the engine cowling and the main wing is not good. Putty correction is required.
Thank you for your comment. Ease of making 1/72Bf109E. TAMIYA90point, AIRFIX80point, AZmodel80point, SpecialHobby70Point. I do not recommend AIRFIX as my kit had a poorly formed canopy. The SpecialHobby is well made, but it has too many parts that I don't like. All kits have good fitting.
Thank you for your comment. This is a scaled down copy of the Monogram Pro Modeler (Accurate) 1/48 kit. It's a very good kit. We recommend it as it is easy to make even for beginners. However, the use of photo-etched parts is not recommended.
Thank you for your comment. Assembly time is approximately 30 hours. Fitting is ★★★★☆. There is a gap in the machine gun parts on the main wing, so some putty work is required. You need to move the propeller backwards. I shaved the engine and moved the propeller to the back.
I was always fascinated by this plane in the RAF museum from first going there in about 1973 as a 10 year old, to frequent visits in the 90s which would include a visit to Hannants models next to Hendon tube station. I thought they must've been very small people to fit in, my 6ft 4" frame wouldn't fit in the back pilots position, or the position under the wing, that and the Cygnet, must've been built for people of 5ft stature. But the Caudron iii is a beautiful aircraft, all the woodwork, it always captivated me. I've often thought of attempting this kit, but I've only recently tried to get back into modelling, but so far my attempts have fallen apart like my patience and eyesight. I've just ordered an ICM Gladiator in 1/32, maybe if it works out and I intend rigging it, I'll consider this kit. You've done an excellent job of it, very inspiring. Thr G 4 twin engine Caudron in 1\48 looks good too, but I've got to attempt the Gladiator in Finnish 'Winter War' with ski 'boots' on first. Hopefully it'll be more of a success.
Thank you for your comment. The wooden propeller was an unused part so I threw it away. I don't remember the sinkhole. If you look at 1:13 in the video, it looks like there is a sinkhole.
@@ScaleModelsJPN Roger!!!!!! Beautiful Build!!!!!!! I could've sworn I saw the upside-down derelict wreckage of one of these at the extreme, southwest corner of Terminal Island (Los Angeles Harbor), belonging to the now long-gone Reeves Field NAS, back in January/February 1977.
That's a good looking kit. I'm soon to start the Octopus OS2U. It's gonna be a challenge, but I'll be absorbed. I would love to get a hold of this one, though.
Great instructions, but i would like to see what colour you painted the nose and those areas around the intakes with? I know the main body is FS36170 Camouflage Grey, but what is the other one for the nose and intakes? Thanks
Thank you for your comment. I painted the nose and intakes with Mr. Color No. 306 (FS36270). This was the specified color for Hasegawa's 1/72 kit F35A.
This maker has already released F14, F2(mitsubishi) and F4. Although there are a lot of parts, all models are easy to assemble, the parts are precise, and you will be surprised at how little modification is required to fit the parts together.
