For those, who might wonder, why I've put the Nazi swastika decals on my german Guillow's models. I did it, because I wanted to build models of existing aircrafts and the swastika on my models shows nothing else, than the historical truth.
The redacted swastika is pathetic. You are absolutely correct in my view. Presumably some people have tendencies of megalomania at the mere sight of a swastika!
I understand but find it unfortunate that you even feel the need to explain. It's so sad that we have to walk through life on eggshells paranoid about offending one another. With that being said, very cool video and great looking plane.
Hi Veecee27, it was a good idea of you, to watch more than only one of my slideshows! Simply, because building these Guillow`s models, has been a steep learning curve for me and I only kept the better ideas, which worked fine for me. I`m also happy with my modifications of this Guillow`s model and if I should have managed to inspire you to build your own model, then there is nothing more, that I could have wished for. I wish you good success and a lot of joy with building your Ju 87!
Hi X Man, thank you very much for your nice comment! I'm lightyears away from being a good model maker, but I've enjoyed building these models and I'm happy with the result. I've created my slide shows to inspire other friends of Guillow's kits to build their own models and from time to time people are writing me, that they're working on their own models. That's always nice to know and actually the best part of my slide shows. I wish you all the very best!
@@andreasbuttner-land1890 History ,for what I have been able to understand,paint that plane as a flying coffin,granted not as fast as the Spitfires ,and or Mustangs it was a formidable weapon for it's time and when flown by a seasoned pilot as RUDEL it was deadly, Sorry if I mispelled that name wrong, but as I understand he was one of the highest decorated Aces if Germany
@@royalanania3306 Hans-Ulrich Rudel was indeed the most decorated German pilot and since German pilots had no other choice than flying mission after mission, he will be forever the most successful ground-attack pilot. But despite from his success with this airplane, the Stuka was outdated and easy prey for allied fighters. One reason for Rudel's outstanding success might be, that he fought at the eastern front. Rudel was an exceptional pilot, but the Stuka wasn't an exceptional airplane. But the Fw 190 was a truly excellent design and maybe one of the best fighter airplanes of WW II.
Yeah, built one of those when i was ten back in the 80s. barely cut wooden sheets, had to cut it all out myself. But, having it fly was impossible... built it for the rubber band koncept that came with the kit and that was to weak. So i found some odd small co2-engine with copper tubing, but i couldnt get that to work.. fit a propeller etc. So... i ordered a COX...mini-somerhing, but when i got that home it was to big and heavy and even if it would have worked i couldnt have had any way to control it, so it never really flew. Making it radio controlled was impossible since a mere servo back then was heavier than an entire system of today, including batteries.
This video kicked ass. No music, no annoying voice over, very detailed in showing each step and no "smash that like button and subscribe!" At the end.👍 I have this kit but haven't built it yet. Currently working on the sopwith camel and p-47. I usually do the chalk on tissue method instead of painting and decals because I build mine for rubber band free flight, but have the PBY and B-24 built for display and those are painted. Your plane looks very good, nicely done.👌
Hi ADIT ADDICTS, thank you for your nice comment! I had the idea to create a slideshow, that everyone could understand, just by watching it, without being distracted by music or advertisements. I wish you a lot of joy with your wonderful models!
Hi The Ruptured Duck, I`m glad, that you like my slideshow and I hope, that you'll enjoy building your model as much, as I enjoyed building mine. It was a lot of fun to modify this kit and I'm very happy with the final result. But as you also can see from my pictures, if something goes wrong, it can be easily repaired and also easily improved. I wish you a lot of joy with building your model!
Thank you very much! This guy here gave me the inspiration for my own slideshows. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jVoIsDwAHTs.html I wanted to build a few models of existing aircrafts and then try out, if they would fly, but when I finished this Stuka, I didn't want to risk a crash and therefore it never flew. As you have seen already, my models don't fly very well. But I'm happy with how they look.
Hi Bryan Beard, the lightest option is of course, if you cover your model with already coloured tissue. But if you want to paint it, then acrylic paint might be a better choice, than enamel paints. You could also use thinner, to reduce the weight of the applied paint, but I haven't tried it out yet. I wish you all the best!
I am currently building this very kit and the Me109 is waiting to be covered. Your models are beautiful. I, too, get frustrated with those plastic cowls Guillow's provides.
Hi Ken King's Flying Machines, thank you for your kind comment. It's nice to know, that your building currently your own models. I liked very much the idea of building a model of an existing airplane. Therefore I made my own decals and a few modifications. Enjoy building your models! I wish you the very best!
Hi Julio Hernandez, I've used a mixture of 190 ml of water and 10 ml of white glue to shrink the tissue. And for coloring the plane, I've used REVELL enamel paints. They work well, if you want to build a model for display, but they add too much weight to the plane, if you want to fly your model. But you could also use acrylic paints. They might be a better choice. I wish you all the best!
Hi Pascal, my next model will be the Micro Magic from Graupner. I'm glad, that you find my slide shows helpful and you're right, that it makes sence to watch more than just one, because only then it's possible to get an overview about what I've tried out. Wish you the very best!
Hi Philippe Duc, at 5:49 I've put the wing, stabilizer and rudder on a plastic dish and lid to let them dry. To avoid, that the parts might get stuck to the plastic, I've rubbed some wax onto it's edge. I also used the candle in the beginning to make my own waxed paper. I wish you all the very best!
Hi Ben Hudman, I don't know, if someone has ever built such a big model, but at least you can find the original aircraft at the RAF Hendon museum and you can take a look at it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lCGBGi48dPM.html. I wish you all the best.
Hi Santini Deutch, thank you very much! I'm also happy with the result, especially because of the modifications, which I've done. I wish you the very best!
