Thanks! It's definitely a beauty

Haha thank you. I appreciate hearing what viewers want to see as well. There will be more builds in the future for sure.

@@ScaleModelAssassin yeah I am collector of 1/32. So far I have Tamiya 1/32 F-16CJ and F-15E Strike Eagle. Also have a Trumpeter F/A-18F Super Hornet and of course an Academy F-4 Phantom that was just released two weeks ago. Just have to find time to start them haha.

If only we had enough time to build what interests us

Thanks!

Hey! good to hear you enjoyed the video. Yes, I sprayed a matte coat over the entire model at the end. IMO for a plane that doesn't need a mirror finish, I don't feel like the matte coat detracts from the NMF. Also, I like the added layer of protection. For the 30% question (lol), I can see all sorts of statistics from videos I've posted and historically, that's about how many are left watching at the end. I do mix my own oil washes. I use odorless mineral spirits and any old oil paint will work although I just happen to use Abeilung. I mix small batches as needed in a plastic (or metal) dish, and then discard what I didn't use during the session. Its a bit of guesswork on the ratio of paint : thinner, but if you've purchased washes in the past, just try for that level of consistency/fluidity. If it doesn't flow thru your panel lines, just mix in more thinner. Oil washes (and oil paint in general) are very slow to dry. You can easily wipe away excess a few minutes to a few days later. I generally use a dry paper towel, but if there's a stubborn spot, sometimes Ill dampen it with mineral spirits.

Lol yeah it does add quite a bit of time onto the build and is unfortunately mostly hidden in the end

I think the part you are asking about is visible at 5:31. I put it further back inside the intake and glued it in place on 1 of the fuselage halves before sealing the both together. Took me a bit to figure out how this was supposed to go in there because I thought it odd that it was so small too....I think I got it right.

@@ScaleModelAssassin yes that’s the part I did the same as you weird how they did that

👍 stay tuned!
