It would have been nice if they included decals for "Halestorm" (A77-851) + the specific RAAF modifications, but I suppose thats what styrene sheet and decal printers are for:)

@TonyJ86 Год назад

Mate you've blown it out of the water with this one. Despite those minor issues, it seems that this is a decent little kit. The extra riveting you did is a nice touch. To me it looks like you've got the mix of weathering and tonal variation spot on. You should be very proud of this.

@ModellingWeekly Год назад

Awe thanks so much :) yeah it was a nice little kit, despite a couple of little flaws as you mentioned! I'm glad you like the tonal balances, thanks so much for watching :)

Excellent video - definitely bookmarked - especially since my club Gloster Meteor arrived this morning. Been many many years since I built an Airfix model so practicing on a couple of easier ones before giving this one a try. Definitely subscribed too.

@PhoenixModels-UK Год назад

Cracking build and finish!! Love to see an F.8 :D One tip I would like to share if I may, regarding your riveting. I usually add riveting to my own models, and when I've found it necessary, I've always gone over the finished row with a light sand, to remove the inevitable raised ridges that the process makes. That said, I usually work in 24th and 32nd scale, so these ridges tend to be a lot more noticeable. Just thought I'd share and the love, as it were ;) Keep on keeping on - loving your work! :D

@ModellingWeekly Год назад

Thanks very much man! I really appreciate it :) yeah, I actually did go over the rivets with some light sanding off camera, but I must have gone for a grade that was far too fine to make a real difference (2500), so next time I'd probably knock them off with 1200 ish and then polish up with 2500 and 3k

@johnfischer7689 Год назад

Beautiful build. How long did you wait between applying the panel line wash and wiping it with the paper towel?

@ModellingWeekly Год назад

Thanks so much! The wait was roughly 15 mins, though it depends on how much wash you apply + how much you thin it down :) a thinner wash will require a longer wait, as more white spirit has to evaporate before you can wipe/blend in the excess :) hope this helps!

@davidcoulson5229 Год назад

Great video! Question: where do you order your Eduard cockpit kits from the UK , I see they are based abroad

@ModellingWeekly Год назад

Thanks! Hannants is the main provider I use :)

@45degreesmodelling Год назад

Great build and finish. Is the masking putty reusable after you’ve peeled it off?

@ModellingWeekly Год назад

Thanks very much man! Yup, totally! Any paint residue left on it just becomes one with the putty, kind of in the same way that if you put paint on a piece of blue tack you'd be able to mix it all in and it would look like pretty much how it started 👍

@45degreesmodelling Год назад

@@ModellingWeekly great to hear, looks more malleable than blue tack that’s for sure. Thanks for the reply.

@ModellingWeekly Год назад

@@45degreesmodelling yeah it's super easy to work with, the most attractive part of using it is probably the fact it isn't oily (whereas bluetak is) so doesn't leave a residue behind

@Pte1643 Год назад

Lovely looking model. Just one tiny thing, Meteor undersides were painted High Speed Silver rather than natural metal, so you wouldn’t get the variation of shades across different panels. That’s not a criticism of your work though, which is great.

@ModellingWeekly Год назад

Thanks mate! ☺️ Very valid point as well, I admit I did realise my mistake after spraying the metallic underside but decided to stick with it because I'm a sucker for bare metal haha

@atariforever2002 Год назад

Newbie here. How/where did you get that rivet tool?!!

@ModellingWeekly Год назад

Hey! It's actually a custom made tool, I essentially extracted a small gear from the inside of a broken mechanical watch movement, mounted it to an aluminium rod, sharpened the teeth so they were pointed instead of square, and finally 3d printed an ergonomic handle to go with it :) I may do a tutorial on it at some point!

@cuebj Год назад

Not sure why this popped up. Not a modeller but have watched some videos to kill time. Will have to hunt down photos of my uncle and godfather who flew them in 1950s. I think he was squadron leader

@fasold2164 Год назад

At least no "needle stich holes" on the surfaces, imitating rivets. The grooves are fine, nonetheless they are of course not to scale. To make it correctly, the grooves have to be filled with putty and after sanding reapply them with a sharp knife. But who will take this effort?

@ModellingWeekly Год назад

Each to their own, if you feel like you have to do this then go ahead - but obviously not everyone has the desire to, and that's fine! :)

Oh them wheels. I had to take about a mil off the tyre parts just to get them to sort of fit. Also i noticed you scraped all the detail off that over engineered nose section and butt jointed it. Would i make it again.. no. Great in parts. God awful in others. Nice build though

@ModellingWeekly Год назад

So glad you share the same views about aspects of the kit haha, thought I was the only one 😂 yeah, I totally agree - aspects were nice, others were appalling. Thanks either way mate :)

@egyeneskifli7808 Год назад

The atomization of the Harder und Steenbeck airbrushes are mind bogglingly terrible. My Evolution is resing in the depth of one of my drawers, because even with the 0.2 mm nozzle it creates much, much worse surface than a cheapo 0.3 mm noozle chinesium Iwata clone airbrush.

@ModellingWeekly Год назад

My infinity works completely fine, maybe a problem with your unit?

@egyeneskifli7808 Год назад

@@ModellingWeekly Nope. Even in this video is clearly visible that despite the 0.15 nozzle the paint is poorly atomized. Pratically just splattered. And in all of the videos I see the same thing. So no, not just my unit. The whole stuff is just inferior to any kind of Iwata system airbrush. For the same price as the Evolution a GSI PS-267 is a much superior airbrush.
