Super build mate!....had the immense pleasure of meeting 3 of the surviving pilots of the Grey Nurse Squadron!.... Bobby Gibbes, Bruce Watson and Ted Sly...It was in an airshow at the Temora airport NSW. They keep in fly conditions one spit like this with the markings of Wing commander Bobby Gibbes..
the royal was variable pitch wooden bladed prop fitted during production of mk v,the 4 bladed prop on the mk 6 onwards I'm 99% certain was wooden-that's what my book 'Spitfire-flying legend says.I have read elsewhere over the years that they was the case.
I’m about to build a seafire for my dad (one from the ship my grandad served on), I’m following this fantastic video as a painting guide. Absolutely stunning work
An absolute work of art. Truly superb job. I love your info bar on the left with paints and thinning mixes. I have this in my stash to do after I have made the mistakes on a range of 1/72 models first. Look forward to the next! Cheers and stay safe 😎
You're an incredible scale modeler, definitely some of the best work I've ever seen! I can't believe you're a "beginner" at video editing. It is excellent and you present in original ways that I've never encountered before, superb!
I was a happy, mild-mannered, well-adjusted kit-basher once. Then I discovered modellers' channels like this one. Of course, my bench-time dropped while mesmerised by modelling stuff. Your builds are eminently enjoyable. I have been doing what you do, for scratch items, for years now. But what enraptures me most is your paint technique. My skill with the airbrushonly began to rise once I learned to slow things down. Improvement in my paint effects came when I accepted there can be several layers to the process. Man, did the 'Wow!' factor go up. So it was with a huge smile I see how you do the same, but with a helluva lot more patience. No matter how good we think we are there's always something to learn. For that I thank you.
@@Scaleaton 14 August is coming so whu do not you make a Tempest MK II of Pakistan Air Force which was the first fighter of the country. Love from Pakistan.
pretty amazing how underratet your god like skills be on youtube :/ how Amazing work and the explosio drawings ar grait !. I trutly love your work . i learn mutch from you.
Hi!!! Thanks for your videos, very helpful, thanks for description. I'm have a question.... which is the difference between alcohol isopropilic and use thinner?? Sorry for my poor English. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
You sir are a terrific modeler. Id like to see you build the NF-104. It will take some modifications like wing extensions for wingtip thrusters as well as nose thrusters and the big rocket under the the tail. Then to skin the aircraft with thin foil burnish and polish for real aluminum shine. Just a request. And challenge. Thanx. Ill keep watching and hitting that like button.
I relax and learn from the model video. Then I have watch this so called 'gun rights' hysteria crap! Spare me RU-vid! Find something useful to advertise that won't stir up the morons in our society!
I really appreciate your work. No disrespect, but I wish you guys would do a lot of talking and explaining. It’s soothing and relaxing to hear people talk 👍
Awesome Build. There is a full size replica of this aircraft at the Darwin Aviation Museum in The Northern Territory Australia. But yours has mush more detail.
You are one of the best channel i know. I build models to, but i am Just a starter. Do you have some good tips for me? Like tips for the decals. I know how you Neef to place Them, but they Will nog Stay on these place. You're still the best RU-vidr in the world. Greetings from Holland
Thank you very much for your kind comment. Check this video series (2 episodes) I try to explain all basic modeling techniques. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Gk5Yqt_bB_g.html
That was a beautiful piece of work. I have never seen airbrushing like that before but the result is awesome. I learned something from this guy! Thank you.
Last build of 2017? Either way, it's been a great year! Maybe for 2018 you can do a tutorial on how to make such excellent videos (and then more of us can share our work)???
Yes it's the last video of 2017. RU-vid is great source for video editing tools tutorials. I'm quite a beginner in video editing. I'm still learning and I do not want to give wrong information. Maybe a few years later. Have a nice holiday!
This is a GREAT video. Unfortunately the powers that BE on RU-vid have decided to ruin it for me by interrupting it SIX or more times and I still have over twelve minutes to go.
It looks like you are using Tamiya Extra Thin Cement on painted parts? Yes??!?! I have always thought you had to go clean plastic to clean plastic. Am I seeing it wrong?
Killer work man. Especially love the smokey paint effect on the wing. Quick question for ya if you don't mind. What do you think is the best brand for these scale models? Some say Tamiya, others go with Revell, italeri, Trumpeter. One of my favourite models was by Hasegawa. What do you think of the cheaper kits you can buy, manufactured by AirFix? Sounds low quality, but could be a good option for when you want to pay less for your models?! And what about Monogram kits? Or have they become Revell these days? Sorry that's a lot of questions, how about you tell me what you usually get in terms of which brand? Thanks for your time. I've got other questions for you, but I don't want to overwhelm you with so many right now. When I ask you what brand offers the best quality, I'm also asking about what brand of tools are the best? For example; the paints, the glue/cement, etc, etc?
When you used the watercolor silver pencil to do chipping did you use a wet or dry brush on it after - was this to smooth/fade the silver or where you simply brushing away excess pencil from the surface? Stunning build I have the same kit w/ different decals I just ordered the other day.
I build models but not on this level. I enjoy it, very relaxing. I do not have all the fancy tools tho, I don't have a compressor spray thing, I only use paint brushes but don't know how to properly keep the brush lines out of my model. I enjoy watching your videos and hoping one day to pick up the properly equipment.
Hi. My almost blind brother asked me to assemble this model that he received as a gift a long time ago. I hope to make it happen, but your video will definitely help me a lot. I have not done that since my 10 years ... 56 now. Thanks !
Very best model building video style with the side bar and overlays. I would love to know how. You are way beyond my level but I would have added chipping underside and prop. Bravo!
Leaves a lot to be desired. While your video format with directions and paint info was very good, your over all paint job, weathering, part clean up and lack of resin based parts for wheels and such make this model mediocre at best. If only all of us had the loot to buy high end plastic models to only abuse with lack of skills. Keep trying.
@@cfranko1860 😆 This comment is 4 years old buddy. But to be polite, I rewatched it. I’m still correct. Clueless AND broke? Lol. He did have mediocre skills and covered that up by buying all the gadgets instead of developing skills through process (4 years ago). I was accurate in my statement. Your response makes you sound like a rube.
@@jargobordine7254 complaining that someone is using good equipment as a crutch when his work is by all means good (numbers don’t lie) just makes you sound like a poor
An excellent build as always. I always worry when you do the white marbling because I think you've spoiled things but then it always turns out so well! An example for us all. Happy Christmas.
Very interesting chippint technique(whater + soft brash). Did you try it on 72 scale aircrafts? Or maybe you know some grate chipping technique for 72 scale? Also I very like paint name, ratio and pressures on left site of video. Like from me))
I'm kinda sad about the fact that out of the hundreds of modelling videos I've watched, this is the first one I've seen with my home country's (Australia's) markings. To all the Aussies that bravely fought during the Second World War, Least we forget.
An excellent series and a first rate instructional site: well done! If possible I'd like to know what the strength of your IPA is. I use 99% with pretty good results.
Even making it appear the plane was repainted, by first adding RAF roundels, then cover these with the "new" paint job, amazing, to say the least. Btw, are these kits so good that most parts instantly slot into place perfectly? I remember always struggling with getting the tail plane and rudder to be perpendicular, aligning the landing gear to be nicely symmectrical, and often having to make small corrections to get it about right. This video it seems almost like snap together, and just adding a bit of glue to seal the part in place.
I'd like to see a video on how you mix your paints with such accuracy for the ratios. If I go with too much IPA for the 95% I get a watery paint. Maybe it's because I'm still a newb lol
Hi! This one reminded me that it's been too long since I've built my last Spitfire 😊. And that was a 1:72nd scale one. I wonder how many hours of work it took you to finish this model... I usually spend between 40 to 50 hours for a fighter like this in1:48th scale. But my weathering is waaay less elaborate 😑. I have to try some very thinned paints like yours one day... Thanks, nicely done as always! 👍
I have a cheap airbrush/compressor and it does not have a pressure reduction feature on it. So it pumps pretty continuous at around 50 psi. Instead of using the airbrush, I use crushed chalk to simulate engine exhaust stains and gunpowder stains with that. It works ok, but I hope to get a different compressor soon. I'd like to be able to recreate those features with the airbrush.
Sublime paintwork....simply stunning build....I feel like I’ve just been given a Christmas present by YT!! Merry Christmas to you and thanks for 2017....
I just ordered this kit. Nice informative video. I will be using it as a guide when I do my build. I was going to add the Eduard motor as well but I think I will leave it for now, I could be getting a little ambitious. May get it and do as a seperate model build on its own. Any chance of explaining your technicque with the white marbling. Is it just short bursts with the air brush? Anyway, beautiful build and a very informative video. Thanks very much. One more thing, why did you paint the circles on the wings, then paint over them and use decals?
please tell me how many models you have built because my 9th, (also first with air brush) looks okay but there are a lot of minor things like me not spraying evenly and not the best masking. Its making me feel terrible watching you be so good!
