Sorry about this I'd tried to make this the final part. I found that the video would be at least 35 to 45 minutes long, too long. The last part, part five, should hopefully be nice and short.

As an retired Airfix master model maker. You have brought back so many happy memories.

I always liked Airfix kits from the seventies; they always managed to capture the look and stance of the subject, thanks.

Your experience is well evident on this build fella. Looks like you've served the long term, vintage kits apprenticeship and finished the course with honours! Younger or less experienced modellers used to more modern kits have got a real goldmine here. Pay close attention kids... there may be a test later!

Very interesting surface finishing of the final paint coat. I can't wait to see how the decals go on. Well done!

I well remember making this kit back in the 1980s. I remeber the front cowling would not fit over the M/c guns for love nor money. I wondered how you were going to resolve this issue. I remember taking the M/c guns off and doing them twice, thinking I had made a mistake, I realised I hadn't I then tried scraping the very thick cowling out, but to on avail, it sat about 3mm proud and sat looking at me accusingly for years! The other issue was the ungainly angle of the narrow track U/carriage. as angled as the real thing, but it did want to close up, and looked wrong, even though it was pretty accurate!

Looking good. I think I'll take a chance and have a go at one of these.

The poor fitment of the cowl is what caused me to throw mine back in the box. Nice method for smoothing out the tamiya finish...I’m gonna have to try that.

I just hate adding a gloss finish just for decals.

What glue did you use for the canopy? Outstanding work! Masterclass in "done out of the box" 😁.

Your modifications for the fit of the cowling panels probably got them to fit as well or better than on the real plane. An early war German aircraft, like this, would have hard edges to the camouflage.

@MothaLuva 3 жыл бұрын

The „hard“ edges were the result of painting with the airbrush closer to the surface. So the overspray was usually not very evident. But in reality they were not as hard as if they would have been, if the surfaces to be painted would have been taped, or covered otherwise.

Hi Greg. I love your oil work and the way you are able to bring these plastic parts to life. Any chance you want to give a demo on just your oil painting techniques?

@GregsModels 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks, someday I will. Need to invest in some decent lighting and camera first.

Color matching with acrylics is really tough as they can shift quite a bit as they cure.

Ref cutting off excess plasticard. Could you use sprue cutters with one edge flush to the part (wing in this case) and trim it in one go instead of using a scalpel?

Yes👍
