I am very glad to share with you my modelling experience. I'm not looking to teach you anything - we're learning together! Usually I split my build on five chapters, in attempt to answer to as many preferences as possible. 1. Pilot episode (teaser) 2. Inbox review 3. Step by step build 4. Painting and weathering 5. Start-to-finish (all of the above in one condensed edition)

Thank you very much! Indeed, the painted, not decalled red star and the winterwash camouflage were the main challenges of this kit. Thanks for watching!
Indeed, that was hurting! But meanwhile RB Productions have released a full set of correctly printed decals (four options) which I bought together with two more IAR 80s.
Great build and finish. I’ve got this one in my stash, so hope to build it this year. How did you find the decals? I’ve not built any Eduard kits with the ‘new’ decals and I’ve read mixed reviews about them.
Wonderful video and thank you. I'm curious as to what PSI you spray at? I'm finding some paint splatter at the beginning of my sessions but they go away after a few moments however I may have over thinned a tad. TruColor recommends 28-32PSI although I prefer up close at a lower PSI. My general comfort zone is 12-20PSI so their suggestion is a bit high for my liking. Your combo with Mr. Leveling Thinner (who is also my BFF) is very interesting because TruColor mentions acetone as an ingredient in their paint.
Very nice !! This turned out great! Does this vehicle have to ability to switch gearboxs ? The two steering wheels is odd, unless it can adequately go forward & backwards? Kinda like a PBR River patrol boat ? Not the typical slow 1 speed reverse?
Thank you so much! No - the build us as basic as it gets: one gear box connected to a simple driveshaft. Steyr ADGZ - also on this channel - have the ability to switch engines / gearboxes
I know - I found out later. The width and number of the camouflage strips is also wrong. I bought 2 other kits which I'm gonna do based on accurate paint schemes. Thanks for comment!
Great build. I specially liked the technique you used to call out paint, tools, etc. I would like to hear your commentary of the build as you progress. Better lighting Woolf improve your videos
Hey, I'm planning to purchase this model. It will be my first project, so I'm looking at what I need. Could you kindly provide what paints and possibly other materials I would need? I don't want to purchase model only to discover in a middle of a project that I lack specific paints for an accurate painting of a model.
@@PanzergrauModels multumesc pentru raspuns si pentru ca ai modificat acest detaliu important. Este bine sa te documentezi din cat mai multe surse pentru ca rezultatul muncii tale sa fie ca mai aproape de realitate. Spor la treaba in continuare.
@@atrium8609 Mulțumesc frumos! În mod ironic, cartea lui Radu Brînzan despre IAR 80 mi-a parvenit în ziua imediat următoare terminării modelului. Oricum, inspirat din cartea respectivă, am mai cumpărat 2 exemplare ale kit-ului și de asemenea un set de decaluri de la RB Productions. Planurile sunt deja făcute: un exemplar va fi faimosul 42, celălalt un exemplar foarte interesant de teste pe pista de la Brașov. Problema e timpul pe care îl am la dispoziție...
@@WGlennNorman It's a very nice kit, easy to put together. Unfortunately the painting instructions are all wrong and decals and decals placements erroneous. The colour strips should be narrower on the wings and many Romanian IAR 80s had wrap - around camouflages (i.e. only the undersides of the wings were sky blue). Also the interior of the cockpit was light blue. The instruments were RLM66, being of German make, but the interior wasn't RLM02. I have discovered these details after I completed the build - and my build is erroneous. I bought 2 new kits to build them in specific schemes. The decals from RB Production are excellent and the colour schemes provided with are thoroughly researched.
Denmark flag for a licence plate! I visited there for a while in the late 1990's. I found a decal sheet of Danish licence plates...but they were lost in a flood in 2013.
Mulțumesc frumos. Am cumpărat încă 2 kit-uri și un set de decaluri. Deocamdată nu am hotărât care cum va fi, dar probabil că unul o să fie ăla fotografiat la Brașov cu tablă negrunduită pe el...
Revell, Germany designers are what the German's call "FACHIDIOTEN" or technical idiots. Small parts are spread out on spur tress where ever they could find a place. Molding gates are place in impossible to access places and tend to damage or distort small parts. The instructions look like and Escher drawing and are organized in a sequence that requires guessing if they should be followed (which you did not do in the video, thankfully) On top of all that half the parts fit well and half require overnight drying time. Over all this kit is a tremendous example of German technical accomplishment; vs. practicality, like the Panther (two lost to engine fires at the rail head at Kursk) tank and Volksjager. The ICM G4 kit is much better. I have been building models for 40 years and Revell, Germany does not do the Revell name any favors. Congratulations on your build.
Thank you! Revell destroyed their name by re-boxing altogether good and bad. This particular kit is an ICM originally, and an early ICM at that. They're not the best, indeed, regarding the sprues layout, but after a couple kits you can get their logic. I sort of like 'em.
Thank you so much! Yes, indeed is a very nice detailed kit produced by ICM and re-boxed by Revell. Yo've got right the main point of this build: the contrast between shiny "hard" black and matte "soft" black. If it'll be to redo this vehicle (maybe the 1/24th version), probably I will chose the dark blue & black scheme. Cheers!
Beautiful model. I don't really get the complaints about kits being too much work and having too many parts. When I was a kid, assembling the model was most of the fun. Painting them was great, but not the big payoff it is now. I see guys at shows proudly explaining the days of effort invested in the 500 different methods and techniques they applied to their award-winning model, yet they have visible seams and joins, sprue marks, filing and sanding scars, glue leaks and fingerprints, especially on clear components. So many modelers now rush through the "boring" assembly to get to the fun weathering. Kind of a shame. (This T-54 looks great, though.)
Yes, the latest videos are filmed with FZ-82. The audio is improved though (noise reduction and normalizing). The video is as good as raw - no other editing than cutting and rendering to YT defaults.
I am just completing this exact same kit myself and agree that despite it's basic details, does build into a good kit. The original molds date back to 1981, so it is doing well for it's age. I added Eduard instrument panel and seat belt harnesses in an attempt to enhance my kit. Unfortunately the instrument panel is not visible, as the canopy cannot be displayed open in this kit. Thank you for posting your video, as I can appreciate the hard work you put into making your example. Well done.
