Wonderful build! One tip for the primer! If you mist a coat of mr leveling thinner to the black primer, it will make the surface perfectly smooth!

@ModellingWeekly Год назад

Thank you! Thats a fantastic tip, I'll definitely try that out next time 👍

@machmodels Год назад

Superb video!! Love the final result and your ability to work on such a small scale to such a high level of detail is insane!!👌

You did a crack up job... Bravo! I would have liked seeing how the flying wires went...

@ModellingWeekly Год назад

Thank you! Yeah I'm really sorry about those..they ended up taking the entire afternoon with a lot of frustration haha. I'll do a dedicated video to rigging one day.

@ralphford4302 Год назад

Very nice build. excellent choice adding the aftermarket parts

@ModellingWeekly Год назад

Thanks! They did wonders giving the kit an extra spark 👌

@paulhargreaves1497 Год назад

Great job....I can't believe how small it is! Very hard to get some life into a paint job that small, but you did it.

@ModellingWeekly Год назад

Many thanks Paul mate - I know right! It's so diddy. I'm glad you're a fan of the final paintjob :) Thanks for watching

Dude, you did such a sweet job on this one! I've still got the earlier Shuttleworth/Irish Air Corps version of this kit to do at some point, but will have to seriously consider getting those PE and Resin parts that you used - especially those parts for the rigging! Edit: Using CA glue as a filler is also something I might have to borrow :P

@ModellingWeekly Год назад

Thanks v. much mate!! Yeah definitely have a crack at the shuttleworth mk.I, its a lovely little Weekender - and yeah, the extra parts really give it a spark! Cheers mate

There was three of these aircraft serving in Malta named faith hope and charity

@ModellingWeekly Год назад

That's a cool little fact! Would be cool to do a Maltese gladiator at some point

Interesting besides being a fine build it’s also a historical gem Sweden during ww2 was a neutral country and didn’t take part in any action Wrong , in fact we did. During the winterwar in Finland 1939 ? Sweden set up a volunteer squadron called F19 to fight against the Soviets And they did quite well. But when they were returning to Sweden After their time in service , they painted over the insignias as a protest for the lack of further Swedish support for the Finns It was hard times and the Finns were forced to negotiate with its attackers history sadly often repeat itself. So end of history class Great build anyway didn’t know that in was in Airfix product range

@ModellingWeekly Год назад

Very interesting bit of history there! I'd heard of F19 but didn't know about the rest of the narrative - thanks very much mate

Pretty sure the MkI had two prong wooden prop where as the MkII had the three prong aluminium prop.

@ModellingWeekly 10 месяцев назад

You are correct - under fairey production the mk.ii was fitted with a variable pitch 3 bladed prop. The first few j-8a's also shared this component, however the decision was made (very soon after delivery in Sweden) to switch back to the earlier type - nobody is entirely sure why they did this, but it's likely down to the blade pitching system seizing up in the cold weather :)
