Another outstanding piece, the weathering and attention to detail seem to surpass the previous model every time. Another great model for your collection!
Hi, thanks for your question. Yes you can just apply a spray directly on the parts. But don't use a wash to weather them after. You may break them. Have a good build!
Very nice work, really great job! I have this kit in my stash. It seems I also ran into the same problem with the wheels connecting to the suspension, where you used steel wire ( I built the SU-122-54). The plastic coming out of the wheels is just a little too short. I am not sure if it is the part being too short or if the instructions are incorrect.
Thanks for watching. Yes I think also that the connection bit is at least 1mm too short. And, too soft. When I started to use that system, it appeared very quickly too me that it couldn't work. Too sad. That's why I ended with the wire "very long" task.
@@studiosam4350 Just out of curiosity, how long did the build take? I know everyone has a different pace. I think this one might take me around 6 months. Miniart kits are very detailed, but at times they are a slog.
Hi Sam, it has taken me a while to watch this video, and I am vety glad to have ginally wztched, the T-55 came out perfectly, you certainly have done a outstanding job, congratulations on a job very well done, bedt regards from Australia, Les
Great job. I was assigned to 4/64 Armor back in the 80's when we started out with the M60A3 and then in 1986 we received our M1IP Abrams tanks. What difference! It was going from a Model T car to a Cadillac. I wish mini art or Rye Field would produce a M60 series tank with interior. The M60's seemed to be considered a B class tank model in the hobby. Not much respect .
Superb paintwork to finish off this super detailed kit, I'd say you've more than done it justice!! Definitely one to be proud of in your collection my friend!
Very nice. But I think you over did the weathering and wear a bit. The Ki-84 was introduced in the summer of '44. It was in service for about a year before the war came to an end. More importantly, by that stage of the conflict Japanese fighters are lucky to survive half a dozen combat missions before they are shot down. The typical fighter really didn't have more than a few months in the field, which isn't a lot of time to get really weathered and worn. Fighters leaving the factory in summer mostly didn;t get to see winter and those rolling off the production line in winter is lucky to see spring! What's more prevalent of late war Japanese stuff is the lack of finishing and poor quality to begin with. Unpainted undersides for instance is not too uncommon as are missing gauges.
Now that was a incredible build, I have another version of thisvwith full interior so this videk has given me some inspiration to tackle my kit, thanks for sharing this video, best regards from Australia, Les
@@studiosam4350 I would have gone crazy the moment I opened the box! Kudos to you for such a great looking build, looking forward to seeing the paint work next
Nice build when in the British army used to fly on the westland wessex in Hong Kong new territorys in the 90s weird that the pilots sit above the passengers.
I'm currently working on a hobby 2000 (hasagawa) ta152 and the engine detail is far superior to this zoukei kit but its my kit is also much more of a pain to build from the looks of it.
Cool build from a ugly chopper. At least i think those Sikorsky,s are as ugly as my mother in law. But a nice detail is that the hairdryer has also Wheatering on it.
There is a seam which should have been filled, I know they can be easily missed I should know. It’s on top of the fuselage spine. Otherwise lovely build. I picked up a couple of tips, so thank you for that.
