When I was a kid, the "cockpit" of a 1:72 fighter was a seat perched on two cross-bars. Or sometimes just the pilot perched on two crossbars. Also, given the tools I had to work with back then, it's hard not to see the air brush and other such stuff as "cheating". My 12 year old self shakes his envious fist at you; my adult self wonders if it's not time to gear-up and get back into the game.

Hey that technique for making the camouflage accurate is brilliant

I could watch this for hours... gets me into a Zen-like mood. Very relaxing. By the way: hell of a job!

Nice and clean, I love small scales, detail engines and heavy weathering. Advice...if a product, is not working in the way you like, don t send it to hell, remember the way it works and use it later in other type of effects, in vehicles, structures you know, sky is the limit for a modeler.

What a great video! Great tips, nice music, fantastic result! Subscribed 😊

Excellent job. Bought this kit after doing Operation Torch version by Airfix also. Impressed with kit.

That is one beautiful model. Well done.

Beautiful work!

Brilliant idea with the electrical tape! Loved the image of the Wildcat & Martlet together.

I like the clever way of using PVA glue as the Windows on the fuselage☺

First model video I have watched i absolutely ages.. since I swapped shifts at work and no longer do nights, I have even less time for KZfaq, unfortunately.. :( Anyway, great video as always, I missed your narrating throughout the build but it was still easy to follow. Never knew Citadel did some kind of filler, will have a look out for it next time I go to a shop that sell Citadel stuff.. :) Great to see the full build in one video, and the end result is absolutely stunning.. :) It will take a while before I will do mine as I'm still building MiGs and once they are done I am doing TWO Me 410's for another Group or Buddy Build.. After that I plan to do a couple of Drakens. Thanks to the MiG builds I have already completed more models this year than during the last couple of years combined. :)

Great job as always

Looks Great!😍👍😍

Very beautiful! It was nice seeing you do the Micro Krystal Klear to fill in those bottom windows, too. I like the ambient music, too.

Nice little aircraft Lovely job . Steve U.K.

Very nice! I like your use of electrical tape for camouflage patterns!

That is an amazing martlet!!!!

Great job, my friend!

excellent work

Love it thanks for the lesson

That's brill work! xxx

Nice done! Camouflage is brilliant! ;)

really love this!!

Still one of my favorite builds on KZfaq 👍

Great work man!!

Great video. Thanks!

Love the use of electrical tape - seems to stick better than the expensive Tamiya flexible and also looks easier to curve. Pity about the Maskol; I wonder of Vallejo's version would be better. Great little build; thanks for sharing

Loved this video. It is the Koyaanisqatsi of the modelling world.

Great work my friend :)

Amazing!

Very nice. I'll try the electric tape on my next camo. I stopped using Maskol because of the smell. I've been very successful with the Gunze Sol mask. No smell and works well.

Really crisp little build,looks dinky with the wings folded in,like the new video too.

excellent!!!! beautyful !!!!

wow nice job thanks for sharing

What kind of Tamiya XF were used for main camo? Acrylic? And why it looks glossy? Did you mix paint with gloss clear X-22?

beautiful

IS that electrical tape he's using for the camo lines?

lovely model ; one I would like as I already have the Tamiya in USN markings

Very good result, but I like it when people add oil paint to make it dirtier.

I like the music . Who is it and what are they playing?

Presently watching this with me is a cat named Grumman. 😸 Very nice little model kit and nicely done. Does it have a pilot? Though I've been using Microscale decals and their various liquid products since the 1970s, their Micro Kristal Klear and I have yet to figure out how to play well together.

Very Nice

GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Painting acrylics over unprimed plastic-recipe for peeling under any circumstance. At least bare plastic need a good alcohol wash first. Better yet prime the bare plastic first. OR use enamels or lacquers. Nice job anyhow.

Well done and it was a blast to watch! What kind of green putty did you use? It looks very easy to clean up and left a very good result!

Great video and thankyou for posting it. Where did you get the music and what’s it called please

great work on this one,did you find the fit around the top engine cowling abit tricky

May I ask if you fashion the mirror or purchase it? I'm building the same kit right now.

Wow! Great job! My only question is what was the purple stuff you were peeling off the wings? Was that the Humbrol Maskol stuff? Check out my P-51 Mustang I just completed. You always do great work and your channel keeps inspiring me to build. Next update video you do, I hope you can give me a shout out.

Sweet

What is the masking tape your using?

Very nice build, thanks for sharing. Sure takes up a lot less room with the wings folded! This is the first time I've seen you use Citadel Liquid Green Stuff as a filler. Do you find it superior to the solvent based fillers you've used in the past? Might have to try and find some. Keep up the great work!

Good video. The plane turned out great. With the wings folded, maybe do a aircraft carrier deck with some crew figures around it.????? Bill

STUNNING WORK! So accurate in detail that it almost seems like a 1/48th (or bigger) model. Excellent. Just one question: aren´t wing ailerons supposed to move in reverse- one up and the other down? ^^ I might be wrong, and also it might be my confusion after the foldable wings of the aircraft...

Best way to mask is blu tack/tamiya tape for fill in!🤔 Jman👀

Interesting vid, and a nice job I thought, but why did you paint the interior in that shade of Green and not US Interior Green/ Zinc chromate green?

I liked the video, but I'd rather watch it with your comments. You could do it as Owen from Quick Kits does. He tapes the build and then adds comments over it. By the way, I've always masked my camouflage paints with Maskol and it's never happened to me. I use Humbrol paints though. I don't know, you might have allowed some time for the paint to cure before applying Maskol, or maybe it might be the wet weather. What's the weather like in Canada at this time of the year? Sorry, It's just a suggestion, you're a very talented modeler. I liked the idea of electrical tape, I'll use it in my next build. I loved the final result. Congrats!. Alex

Still find it so funny to see people buy humbrol stuff and still get surprised when it doesn't work 😂

nice work

Gonna build an aircraft carrier next?

I have the same tongs

Hate the bells. All else outstanding

beau montage avec une musique très aérienne Moi

Ey mang, when the old style gonna come back

R.I.P Maskol

Love the way those wildcat kits come out. Not a fan of the landing gear on the tamiya version.

If u would have put the flat clear on first the liquid masking wouldn't have pulled the paint off

Me gustan los modelos sean como los vehículos reales:sucios, des gastados, no las maquetas tipo museo.

Hi Rebelsatcloudnine how are you doing today ? I want to give you an update i posted a video of me building the Titanic model please check it out soon or next week.

it just looks like an f4f or something

Isn't that a f6f hellcat why did they call it the marlet
