this might be a few years to late, but I've recently switched to enamels because I find that acrylics dry too quickly and enamels have better self levelling when brushing. I do find that the matte paints I got still dry too quickly and leaves brush marks, so would it be a good idea to maybe switch to the glossy/satin paint, and later apply a clear matte enamel over it?
Thank you for the video, I haven't done any modelling yet, but I watched everything thoroughly to get a rough idea on what scale modelling process is. On a side note, I'm not satisfied with the paint included with the set. I'd really like my model having more realistic look instead of that. Pretty sure I would be kinda bummed out if my first model turn out like this.
100% - the paint included is not the best modelling paint in the world, and the colours are a little off. I would recommend Vallejo, Tamiya or Hataka paints (all of which can be hand painted - but the Tamiya ones need a little extra care due to their alcohol base)
Built this. Not a good experience. The decals are horrible, the fuselage pieces have huge gaps, and the landing gear is weak in terms of supporting the model.
One had to cut a rectangular slot for the vintage display stands. In most cases the slot was pre shaped in the model. I prefer the “new” display stands (AF1005, AF1006 etc.) as a few little holes would do to have them put on the display stand. However, the “new” display stands are hardly available (2023-2024 - at least in the Netherlands). Hope Airfix will reissue them soon as not everybody hangs their models from the ceiling.
Ive been trying to decide what I want to do for my out door railroad and this is an excellent idea. The space I'm wanting to have isn't big enough for O and G scale. I think i just found my answer.
supposedly to actually get this thing into space, sanger proposed that it would first be propelled by a special purpose built rail-bound rocket sled, now imagine if there was a kit that included that railway (which would have to be quite long) and rocket sled! also as an aside; the cockpit wouldn't actually be a cockpit, instead there would be a camera in the front and the pilot sitting quite the ways back. they would only have a T.V display as their only means of looking outside. youtubers 'found and explained' and 'scott manley' made some fairly comprehensive videos on the subject!
Great review Matt! The small bomb looks like Fat Man, the second of the nuclear bombs the USAAF dropped on Japan. Perhaps one bomb is nuclear and the bigger one conventional explosive?
Hello from OHIO 🇺🇸 I’ve been interested in GERMAN WONDER WEAPONS Seen a few documentaries about this particular aircraft… GOODNESS GRACIOUS if this weapon was used as intended ?????? Could only imagine… This looks like a limited run kit ??? So much potential for a great Diorama / Display…. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this………. ENJOY !!!!!!!!!!! CHRIS 🇺🇸
The round bomb is a plutonium implosion bomb like Fat Man and the long cylindrical bomb is supposed to be a gun type uranium bomb like Little Boy. Even in the alternate universe where this was a real aircraft I’m not sure where Germany would have got plutonium from. I guess it’s also possible that the long cylindrical bomb could be a thermonuclear fusion bomb because it’s so much bigger than the short round bomb. In real life, Little Boy was smaller than Fat Man. But a thermonuclear device uses a fission bomb initiator so these bombs were initially very large.
@@benmanning4340 Well at least I am not naïve to see that my money is not spend correctly when I send it to China. Everything I can buy from other nations than China, Russia, or India. Seems like some people seriously do not see what is happening in the World.
The Sänger suborbital idea was still alive in the 1990's - Revell produced a beautiful little kit of the proposed vehicle, with the option of a freight pod or a passenger carrying re-entry glider. It was made to a very small scale, but was still a fairly large model, so the real thing must have been vast. Only thing I wasn't keen on was that it was moulded in black styrene, which always makes details difficult to see. It was released about the same time as the US Navy stealth ship, and Russian Ekranoplan kits. (Both worth having, by the way).
This is a very cool concept by the germans during ww2. I love luftwaffe kits especially "concept" prototype aircraft that were never built. Check out Mark feltons videos on these sorts of aircraft if you're interested 👍 Also Matt if you like these concept luftwaffe kits then I recommend checking out the special hobby EMW A9 rocket if you can find one. I've just picked up one on an eBay auction for a bargain. Cool paint scheme and nice decals!
il manque l'essentiel, la rampe de lancement de la bête avec son pousseur, il n'était pas prévu pour décoller avec ses moteurs fusées.......au fait, toutes les déco proposées par TAKOM sont pures inventions, le projet n'ayant jamais dépassé la planche à dessin, pas plus que les deux bombes présentées dans le kit.
@@benmanning4340 it's not offensive, it's silly. we have 100 kit options for everything german, including bad things and things that never happened. why is everyone so obsessed
It's certainly different. A lot of these Luft 46 plane designs never got past the rough sketch stage, but even so, they are interesting as model subjects even if they were never even close to being built for real. Really would like to see this one put together. The extra trucks and trailers really make the kit for me.
Hello mr min!i enjoyed the presentation and i wish u good luck and much much fun building the kit.with sticky greetings from Brandenburg/germany.your modellmate.christian
I read about this bird (a paperkit can be downloaded for free btw), the couple who designed it (yes, it was a couple male/female) were convinced it would work, however a prototype was never build and new calculations show it wouldn't have worked, wich is a shame from an engineering point of view.
I honestly despite mistercraft. They often rebox kits and sell for a higher price luring you with interesting decals that yeah are interesting but they Fall apart. Additionally i believe there has to be some sort of a competittion in mistercraft of how many mistakes on the boxes and manuals they can fit in and you can try to find them like easter eggs...
pick something that you are interested in - anything designed and manufacturered by Airfix in the last 5 years or so should be great to build (older kits are good too, but may have a few extra challenges with fit etc)
thanks for the suggestion - sadly I don't have that one in my stash nor do I intend to get one at the moment, but you never know what you can get at a good price sometimes
