Took me some time to make another video, but here it is.. the Airfix Vickers Wellington in 1:72. A quite nice kit with good detail and a lot of parts that are not seen once the fuselage is closed. Feel free to leave a comment. :)
Awesome build video. So many tips for me. I don't know if the colours on the video are true but the green camouflage seems a bit bright and gawdy. Otherwise fine.
I did too... I switched to a .3 beck diameter (instead of .2) and I thin it at least 50% (50% thinner - 50% primer).. I also use some flow improver, can't say if it works much.. I still have to manually clean the tip of the needle from dried up paint (or primer) every now and then... To be honest, Vallejo was my go-to brand after I switched from enamels and I haven't tried anything else so far.. Their spouted bottle suits me fine and they seem to have a huge range of colors. Thanks for watching ! :)
Your a perfectionist my friend, I applaud your excellent work especially the interior detailing . Can I ask you please is that the correct colour green as I tend to use a darker shade for RAF aircraft ? Thank you for showing us this stunning build, I have picked up some nice tips from your presentation 👏👌
I used a darker shade for interior green in my Lancaster too... But it seemed a bit too artificial so I lightened up the color a bit for this build... There are not many color reference photos nowadays... save for fully restored planes which might not reflect the actual color of the era.. Thank you for your kind words :)
@@wbpsmodels3452 During WW2, the paints used for aircraft frequently varied a bit, due to the unavailability of certain colours. If this shade of green looks a bit light to you, it's probably only because you're more used to seeing a darker shade, but almost anything was possible.
Imagine building a big bomber, like a lanc or b-17, so that part of the cockpit walls/roof is cut out following panel lines. Then you could display it normally, but remove the roof to show the interior.
Hey mate, great build! I liked the chilled music, it really fits with building a kit. My father's cousin was a rear gunner in a Wellington and was killed on landing in 1941. If I can offer a piece of constructive advice, the dome on the back of the aircraft was supposed to be clear glass/plexiglass to allow the navigator to take sightings of stars in the event of getting lost. I'm not sure if you left the masking on accidentally or painted over it intentionally but as a modeller who paints the interior because you'll know if it's not done I thought you might like to know.
You're damn right.. I Forgot to take the masking off the dome... It IS clear and I had it masked.. and in the hurry to shoot the last pieces of the video, I forgot to remove the liquid mask.. (which can be seen with a green tint at 15:50).. Thank you for pointing it out.. The dome is now clear in my display. :)
Sur les plans d'Airfix, les endroits colorés en rouge sont des endroits où il faut coller quelque l'une ou l'autre pièce. Cela ne signifie pas qu'il faut les peindre en rouge ! L'intérieur d'un Wellington doit, bien sûr, être peint en "interior green"....
Les plans de fixation et les instructions de peinture indiquent clairement que les surfaces intérieures de la bâche recouvrant le fuselage devaient être peintes en rouge. Pensiez-vous que je suis tellement novice que je confondrais la coloration des pièces assemblées avec des instructions haletantes ?
LOL... I guess you don't like Jazz.. :P Oh well.. There are not many public domain music options you can download.. At any rate, thanks for watching :) (and what's wrong with a hangover every now and then? :P)
