Eduard's 1/48 F6F-3 Hellcat | Full Build | HD 

I have to agree! The more I look at it the more I think everything seems to just kind of blend in (I think I’m rather lucky there!) Thank you very much🤙🏻😁

totally agree !!! I wish I could make a brilliant mistake like that , I'd be well happy ... ,👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hmm yes I guess I can see that! Thank you very much👌🏻

Ooo I’ll have to try that out! Thank you!☺️

Haha this one made me laugh, thank you buddy😉👌🏻

Thank you very much! I might try out some more varnishes soon as I’m slowly running out of my VMS and Mr Hobby stuff. Alclad or SMS looks interesting!🤙🏻

Thank you very much! Those snippers are just so much fun🤣🤙🏻

Thank you mate! Really appreciate it🤙🏻❤️

Thank you mate! The more I look at it the more I quite like the effect that the varnish gave! I’ll usually show all of my muck ups just so you guys don’t do the same thing!🤣😁

Thank you very much for the comment! After looking at more reference images I have to agree! Happy accident I think they call them🤣🤙🏻

Thank you very much mate!🤙🏻❤️

Thank you very much sir!🤙🏻

Thank you dude! Really appreciate the support🤙🏻❤️

Thank you mate! Haha yeah luckily the slight issue luckily complimented the rest of the weathering!🤙🏻❤️

@@machmodels a very happy accident 🙌🏻

That’s a really good idea! I’ll go check the trap now!! Thank you very much my man🤙🏻❤️

I can’t agree more! All of their products that I use has always either met or exceeded my expectations!🤙🏻😁

Thank you for the feedback! I’ll keep it in mind☺️

@@machmodels actually you know what, keep showing mistakes and how to fix them if it is possible, my models have sometimes mistakes that do not stand out much but they are there in the finished modell, and knowing that pros like you can also make them mskez me feel better about them!! Thanks!

Thank you very much sir! Hope you enjoy the rest of the content🤙🏻😁

Thank you! I hope you enjoy your build!🤙🏻

Thank you very much! Yeah the effect is slightly growing on me… slowly but surely🤣🤙🏻

@machmodels I spent last night stripping gloss back primer off my current project so I feel your pain. Thankfully I got some kind messages on my model Facebook page!

@@paulcorrigan649Oh god… that must’ve been a pain in the ass!😭

Thank you very much!🤙🏻❤️

Thank you very much! Really appreciate the support🤙🏻❤️

Thank you mate!🤙🏻

Thank you very much!! I’ll make sure to remember this comment if I ever encounter this weird effect again🤙🏻😁

Thank you very much! I’m inclined to agree😁🤙🏻

Thank you so much dude!🤙🏻😁

Haha maybe?! I’m not sure if I’m sold yet but maybe it’ll grow on me!

Thank you very much! After this I’m also a cat fan! Made me get a 1/32 scale one!! A happy accident, I like that! Cheers🤙🏻😁

Thank you mate!! Glad you enjoy them🤙🏻😁😁

@@machmodels I am actually thinking of making Eduard 1/48 Weekend Limited Edition F6F-5 so this inspired me and helped me with some Stuff for the future 👍

Wow thanks for the heads up! I’ve never really done many bare metal finishes but if I ever do I’ll make sure to rethink what paints I use! Cheers🤙🏻😁

@@machmodels You're welcome. If I may offer a suggestion. Give Tamiya LP-11 a try for an undercoat to do chipping effects with. It's lacquer, and sprays beautifully especially if you use mr rapid thinner. As for bare metal finishes, my personal favorite paints to use are gunze super metallic 2 paints. Specifically duralumin and super chrome 2. Again they're lacquers, pretty forgiving for metallics, and don't have a lot of the drawbacks of other metallics like being fragile etc.

Thank you so much!🤙🏻

Thank you! The mishap has kind of turned into a positive thank they modelling lords!!🤣🤙🏻

Thank you! I was kind of blindly following the colour call-outs on the instructions! I’ll do some more research next time. What oil would you recommend?😁

Oh yes! Do we think that these might not have been manufactured before 2022?

​​@@machmodelsthey only began the removable carrier from about 2021 (the print date is on the decals)

I’ll go have a check now!

Thank you Matt!🤙🏻❤️

Thank you so much! Comments like these keep me from going insane sometimes, I guess it’s just people wanting to make sure I know I’ve done something wrong? Who knows but anyway thanks again😁🤙🏻

Thank you! Yup no problem, they are Tamiya’s round headed tweezers! Hope this helps🤙🏻😁

@@machmodels thanks. Yes that's great. Thank you. 👌👌

Thank you mate! Definitely, I don’t think I’ve ever produced a model that is “flawless”. But hopefully the video can inform people about what not to do to hopefully avoid the same headaches!🤙🏻😁

Thank you!😁

Thank you very much! I do like to show all of my muck ups as well in the videos… hopefully it’ll help you not to make the same mistakes! To be honest, I used cardboard just because it made getting the correct curve radius of the strut a whole lot easier! Hope that answers the question🤙🏻

I think I’m starting to agree with you, after starting to use Mr Colour gloss again it just sprays so nicely and leave such a nice finish.. Maybe I’ll start to look into alternative🤙🏻😁

It is a magical substance called ammonia mig masking putty!

Haha honestly I have no clue!🤣

@@machmodels I think it's the thinness of the fuselage at the stabilizer area--not much area to work with.

Thank you! Yes, I’ve had more and more comments assuring me that the muck up wasn’t potentially as bad as it could’ve been! Could be cool to try and do a super patchy version of one of these!🤙🏻😁

Pahaha yeah it kind of does!🤣🤣🤣

I did try to! The varnish just did want to stick to the regions and would kind of pool off… very weird! Sorry, I just blindly followed the instructions paint call-outs. I’ll try a little harder next time!😞

@@machmodelsit’s a great build mate lovely job who cares about some wrong colours!
