I’ve been making models for quite a while, but I’ve never really been confident enough to paint them. This video did help quite a bit and the first model I painted turned out quite well, thanks for making such inspiring content!

Despite the troubles it gave you, it turned out great. A couple tips you might want to try is to get 2x water traps to attach to BOTH ends of your airbrush hose. My (cheap) compressor has one built in, but I still found water would make its way into the line. By having 2x more I eliminated this problem entirely. You may need to get some adapters as well, depending on the gauge of your hose connectors etc. Regarding the decals... never leave them to sit in water. This is a common mistake that I see people make, and while you may get away with it for a while, it will bite you in the arse eventually. Best method is to just dunk them (in warm water) for about 10 seconds with a pair of tweezers, then set them aside on a paper towel, and give it a minute or two for the adhesive to rehydrate and slip from the backing paper. Also a good idea to only do a couple at a time etc. Older thicker Tamiya decals sometimes require a second dunking and a little more time before they will separate. 👍

Hard to believe that was an Eduard kit, I think they sucker punched ya on thinking it would be a fun build. Have to hand it to you for sticking it out I would have put it in my firecrackers stash. It was such a small plane , you'd think that was a 1/72. The Chinese actually had some success agaisnt Japanese in pre WW2 attacks dog fights. Thanks for sharing that all kits aren't made equal :-)and its not the modeler.

Great video and build thanks for creating! I hear what you’re saying about detail that can’t be seen. Modelling is about enjoying the process as well as the end result so you’ll know it’s there regardless 😉. Great channel 👍🏻

Hey, nice work. Really liked the narration and attention to detail. 🇳🇿📸

I've been having a LOT of problems with Tamiya glue of late. Another kit I do NOT recommend is Dragon's old 1/48 scale Messerschmitt Me-163 Komet.

Great painting. What mask if you use one do you use for airbrushing? Thanks.

Weird question but from your experience in general which is better; Hobby boss or Hasegawa. I want a 1:48 a4 skyhawk but it’s made by both companies. I don’t want a really hard instructions booklet so in general what do you recommend.

👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻😎

glad to see it actually built of course the armor guy wins the airplane kit at roscoe turner, and it sits in the bottom of the closet until I gave it to you.

Je ne comprend rien à tes explications. Je regarde tes vidéos depuis des mois et c'est génial. Petit détail.... les traces d'huile sortie moteur c'est très bien.... Mais l'avion est très propre super bien peint partout et là c'est pas propre. Peut être faudrait il le salir ailleurs sur le fuselage.
