Thank you, really appreciate it. I'm happy you had a good time watching the video and felt the atmosphere I tried to create. Thanks for watching!

It really is an awesome kit and pretty impressive on the shelf. Had to buy a larger airbrush spray booth so I could paint it. 😂 Thanks for watching!

I fell asleep!

Thanks! I always intend to create a calm, relaxing atmosphere in my videos, so I’m happy you like it! 🙂

I take that as as compliment! ☺️ Thanks for watching!

When I was a kid my father also built a few plastic model kits for me. Great stuff but I couldn’t resist the urge to play with them, so eventually all of them were badly damaged and went into the trash. 😝 Fourty years later I rediscovered this hobby but unfortunately I don’t have any kids myself… Have a great time together and enjoy your builds! 🙂 Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much, happy you had a good time watching the video! ☺️

Two new builds are currently in progress, new videos upcoming in the next weeks! 🙂 Thanks!

Thanks! Hope you enjoy! :)

Awesome, thanks for your support! 😊

Thank you! Cheers! 👍

Thank you very much! 👍🙂

Thank you, appreciate it! I spent quite some time figuring the detail painting as well as the overall look I wanted to achieve so I’m happy you like it! Cheers, Oliver/RWO

Thank you, appreciate your feedback! 👍🙂

Thank you Joe! In fact when I was working on all these tiny plastic bombs I actually tried to imagine the massive amount of weapons this aircraft can carry in real life and what it must be like for the crews to handle these tons and tons of dangerous payload. Wow! 👍 Best regards from Germany, Oliver/RWO

Thank you! At first I was a bit concerned about the length of the video, but I’m happy you like it! Greetings from Germany, Oliver/RWO

Thank you so much for your kind words! 🙂 Enjoy your build, it’s an awesome kit! 👍 All the best from Germany, Oliver/RWO

Thank you! It actually took me a while to figure out how to paint this „big grey thing“ so that it looked realistically without being too boring, so I’m glad you like it! 👍

Thank you! 🙂👍

Thank you! Building the BUFF was a special project for me, so I’m glad you enjoyed it! 👍

Thank you! Yes, the Speedmaster Moonwatch is a legend, been owning it since 2005. I also have the latest model with the 3861 movement but I actually prefer this previous generation 1861 model. 🙂 Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much! 😄👍

Thank you! 😄👍

Thank you! :) Cheers!

Thank you, happy you liked it! 🙂

Thank you! Yes, this kit is amazing, highly recommended! 👍🙂

Merci! 👍🙂

Thank you!

Thank you so much, appreciate it! I put a lot of thought and effort into the build as well as the video so I’m happy you like it! 👍🙂

Thank you so much, really appreciate it! 👍🙂 Best regards from Germany, Oliver/RWO

Thank you so much! 🙂

Thank you for your wonderful comment, appreciate it! 🙂

Absolutely, this kit is extremely well made but the finished model definitely takes up a lot of space. I also need a bigger display cabinet for this myself. 😄 Thanks for watching!

Thanks, appreciate it!

Thank you! 🙂

Thank you, appreciate it!

Thank you! 👍 Yes, the completed model is pretty impressive, even at 1/144 scale. Wingspan is almost 40cm (15 1/2 inches). Greetings from Germany, Oliver/RWO 🙂

@@RWOModels I think on reflection this is better than the 1:72 Buffs - how would you fit them on your desk ???? It would be nice to do a Dan Brown "Megafortress " but a shame to butcher such a lovely kit >

I had the Italeri 1/72 Buff on my list when I realized it has a wingspan of 80cm! Definitely don’t have the space for that, I even need to buy a new cabinet for the 1/144 Buff. 😄

Thank you! 👍🙂

Glad you like it! Thanks for watching!

Thank you! 😊👍

Thank you very much! 👍🙂

Wow, vielen Dank für das Lob, für deinen Support und die netten Worte! Dabei mache ich das Ganze ja erst seit Sommer 2019 und habe noch ganz viel zu lernen … Die B-52H hat mich jetzt erst mal sehr viel Zeit und Energie gekostet und ich muss gucken, wie gut das Video läuft und ob ich weiterhin diesen Aufwand betreiben möchte. Als Nächstes habe ich hier noch was nettes Kleines in 1:144 in der Mache, vielleicht switche ich aber auch auf ein eigentlich „wichtigeres“ Projekt in 1:72, das sich schon seit geraumer Zeit in der Warteschlange befindet. 🙂 Viele Grüße!

Thank you! :)

Thank you! 👍

Thank you very much! 👍🙂

I guess it would be better than the Italeri 1/72 kit... unfortunately it's not for me since it is a real behemoth in this scale. 🫣☺️ Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I also have the Academy B-47 Stratojet in 1/144 scale, hope I'll be able to build this any time soon as well. 🙂

Hope you enjoy the build! :) Cheers from Germany, RWO

Thank you!

It’s an amazing kit, I’m pretty sure you won’t be disappointed. 🙂 Thanks for watching!

Thank you, appreciate it! I guess the music is not everyone’s cup of tea, really happy you like it. 👍🙂 Thanks for watching!

Thank you! It is an excellent kit, highly recommended. Thanks for watching! 👍🙂

Thanks! 🙂

Thank you!

@@RWOModels Your welcome👍

Thank you so much! It is an amazing kit, builds like a dream, and the finished model will look awesome with all those great little details. Enjoy your build! 🙂 Greetings from Germany, Oliver/RWO

@@RWOModels Say you don't happen to know what size bit you used for the bomb rack mounting holes do you?

I’m afraid I can’t tell you the exact size. I only have a cheap set of drill bits without any size designation and I don’t know any more which one I used so I can’t measure it for you. I would guess it’s somewhere around 1.2-1.5mm but I could be wrong. 😳

@@RWOModels Thank You

The kit quality is really amazing, you won't be disappointed! 👍🙂 Thanks for watching!

Thank you, appreciate it! Both aircraft types are true legends and stand the test of time. I also like the Tu-95, would definitely love to build it in 1/144 scale and add it to my collection. 👍 Thanks for watching! 🙂

Awesome, thank you so much for sharing your memories and experiences on the real thing! 👍 Greatly appreciate your comment here on my little scale modeling channel! Would love to see your finished builds. 🙂 Greetings from Germany, Oliver/RWO

Thanks! 🙂

Thank you, Les! Initially I wanted to build the 1/72 scale Italeri B-52, but it is such an enormous model that I happily ordered the smaller 1/144 new-tooled Academy kit as soon as it was announced. This size eats up enough space on the shelf already. 😆 Regarding the next build, I had actually started another 1/144 kit before working on the B-52H but maybe I‘ll launch something else in 1/72 that’s been in the queue for quite some time now… 😉 Stay safe, best regards from Germany, Oliver/RWO

Thank you! I always wanted to build the Italeri B-52 in 1/72 scale but when I realised how big this thing is I went for the smaller (and superbly made) Academy kit in 1/144. 🙂 Thanks for watching!

@@RWOModels would you consider to do a 1/72 b52 commission build?

Really appreciate your inquiry but I'm afraid properly building a scale model with approx. 80 cm wingspan exceeds my capabilities at this time. Sorry...

Thank you! It took me 7 weeks to build, with a few days off in-between. I'm not the fastest builder. :) Thanks for watching!

Hi there, I used various foam packaging pieces, cut to size for each opening. Hope this helps. Thanks!

Sure, it’s called Molotow Liquid Chrome. It comes in different tip sizes, the one I’m using is 1mm. You can also see it at 8:23 in the video. 🙂 Thanks for watching!

Vielen Dank! 👍 Die B-52 war schon lange auf meiner Liste, und den neuen Academy-Bausatz habe ich dann sofort bestellt und gebaut! 😄

Ich habe damals in den 80er eine B52 gebaut, der Bausatz war damals von Revell, ich mein der Maßstab war 1/144 , Sie war Groß. 😊

Absolut, eine B-52 in 1:144 ist wirklich groß genug. 😄

It is definitely safer to seal in your work with a clear coat (preferably gloss clear) before continuing with washes/panel line colors. This way, everything you’ve done before (painting, decals) is protected in case you need to correct or fix something. With this build I passed on the clear coat because I knew I only wanted to apply panel line color in a few places where no decals could be damaged. Hope this helps.

Yes, those wrinkles on the fuselage would really add to the realism of the model. 👍 Unfortunately I'm not skilled enough to recreate them in this small scale... Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment on the video!

@@RWOModels the only thing I can think of would be some very delicate sanding and shading or something on that line .

I just thought about using a Dremel tool with a very fine tip but I guess that would require an extremely steady hand, lots of patience and strong nerves. 🥵🙂

Alwzys enjoy the hobby, and make certain you have at least a basic tool set which you will add to over time, and always keep reading the instructions, all the best for your new hobby. Best regards from Australia.

I‘m with Les, most important is to have fun and enjoy the hobby! And don’t be put off if something goes wrong - because it definitely will! 😉 Try to choose easy models with single-colored paint schemes and gradually increase the difficulty level or try new techniques when you feel comfortable and satisfied with your results. You will soon find out which skills are easy for you to pick up and which require more effort to achieve the desired results. For example, I love painting my models but I hate sanding and filling gaps, yet it needs to be done to have a decent looking model. Always try to be patient and take your time, a good build can (and will) take weeks or even months. Hope this helps. All the best, Oliver/RWO 🙂

The pre-cut masks are included in the kit, and they are of excellent quality! 👍 Thanks for watching!

@@RWOModels can they be bought separately or do they only come included in kits. I have a few models that could use canopy masks.

Depending on which models you have you can buy these mask sets separately from various aftermarket brands (for example Eduard, I also regularly use their mask sets for my builds).

Der Schlüssel könnte die Verdünnung sein, ich verwende für Vallejo Farben und Primer ausschließlich den Vallejo Airbrush Thinner. Je nach Fläche nehme ich beim Primer die 0,2er oder 0,4er Düse bei 1,2 bis 1,5 bar. Manchmal spuckt es ein bisschen, wenn ich zu wenig verdünne, aber im Großen und Ganzen hatte ich noch keine Probleme mit den Vallejo Primern. Ausnahme ist die Farbe Weiß, damit kämpfe ich auch meistens. 😉 Oder vielleicht mal ein, zwei Tropfen Flow Improver beigeben?

On my main desk I use a Panasonic Lumix Micro-Four Thirds system camera which is attached to a modified PC monitor desk mount. The camera is located overhead, and the field of view is set up in such a way that my head is not visible in the recorded image. On my second desk - which is actually more or less my illuminated airbrush spray booth - I've been using my old iPhone which I'm gradually replacing with a second, smaller system camera (also mounted overhead) allowing more advanced, manual settings for higher and more consistent image quality. I'm constantly working on my camera and lighting setup, and if you look through my older videos you'll (hopefully) see a few advances and improvements. :) Thanks for watching!

@@RWOModels That is a really smart way of doing things! Thank you for such an exact answer!

Hi, I have a large box where I collect all sorts of foam pieces from packagings etc. in different sizes. I picked a few suitable parts, roughly cut them into shape and pushed them into the gear bays as well as the bomb bay so that they cover all the previously painted areas. No big deal actually. 🙂 Hope this answers your question? Thanks for watching!

Thanks for your kind comment! In fact this hobby really is a kind of self therapy for me after an accident a few years ago. Glad you liked the video! 🙂 Regarding super thin glue there’s actually no need to worry about those spots you mentioned, on unpainted surfaces. Most likely they will disappear with the first layer of paint. Using glue on painted surfaces is different though and you need to be extra careful. The bond is a lot weaker (if there’s any bond at all) and you easily get those nasty „blobs“ when glue and paint react together. Practicing on a small, easy kit is a good idea. Different types of plastic work differently with your glue, and you’ll soon find out how much glue you need to use. Most important, have fun and don’t be too upset if things get messed up. It’ll happen. ☺️ Greetings from Germany, Oliver/RWO

@@RWOModels Thanks so much, very kind of you for the detailed reply. I appreciate that a lot. I guess after watching videos such as yours, I want the first model I make to be 'incredible' and forget your level of skill and the time you have put in to perfecting it. I should aspire to be that good, but I should realise I am starting from scratch, again. I have a Revell lunar lander bought in 1984, untouched, sitting in a cupboard Stores where I am are going to open up again in 2 days time after the worlds longest series of lockdowns and I am going to get a few kits from a real walk in shop (online orders are always damaged by our mail service, nothing beats walking into a shop and seeing everything they have there and picking up a crisp, new box of goodies), I have a list of a couple of easy practice kits to get and a few serious (expensive) ones for much, much later to tempt me to do well, like your Saturn V. I only hope they are still in stock as model kits have been popular and run out quickly! Most of last year you couldn't even find glue. Vielen Dank, time to rewatch your earlier videos and take more notes 😁. Greetings from Australia. Oh, your videos really are put together so well.... ha ha , another thing I wish I could do - but model building first.

@@tomstamford6837 Thank you! Regarding the purchase of model kits I guess it’s kind of „normal“ to have way more in your stash than you could ever build. 😬 That’s quite common in this hobby. 😂 All the best of luck to you, let’s hope this crazy situation were all in will somehow come to an end pretty soon. Enjoy your builds, stay safe and take care! Cheers, Oliver/RWO

and what tamiya panel accent line use?

Thank you! I had pre-ordered the kit at my local hobby shop here in Germany and picked it up there. Not sure about the current availability. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! On my main work desk I use an overhead rig I constructed from a monitor desk mount. The camera is hanging directly over the working area pointing downwards and is attached through a Manfrotto quick release bracket so I can easily remove it. On my airbrush extractor booth I use a second, smaller camera which is mounted on a Manfrotto Magic Arm. Maybe some time I'll do a video showing my workspace and equipment. 🙂 Thanks for watching!

@@RWOModels Yes you should it would be a good video. Thanks for replying if you get a chance take a look at my videos which I have just started. Thanks 👍

Good catch! I’ll tell the crew chief to have a look before the next bombing mission. 😄😉 Joke aside, I guess the limited clearance is due to the one piece design of the bomb bay side walls/doors. Thanks for watching!

I hope it’s okay to answer in English. 😉 For video and stills I use a Panasonic Lumix Micro Four Thirds system camera with manual zoom lens, attached to a modified PC monitor desk mount. For lighting I use two cheap LED softboxes. Thanks for watching!

@@RWOModels thank you for answering)🙂

👍😏

Thank you, Robert! Fully agree with you on that. Personally I don't care about judges, contest rules or competitions in general and just do my builds the way I like it. Thanks for watching! Greetings from Germany, Oliver/RWO

I’ve been building approximately seven weeks on this, maybe 80-120 hours in total or even more, can’t tell exactly.

Jeeez

Hi there, I usually don't sell my models so I'm afraid I can't tell you a price for it... sorry! Thanks anyway, take care and thanks for watching! 👍🙂

@@RWOModels oh i meant the price you bought it for lol i need to re word it lol

Ah, okay, sorry I misunderstood you! 🤷🏻‍♂️😆 Well, I'm based in Germany, and here the kit cost me around 40 Euros (equivalent to approximately 40 USD), if that is of any help to you?

@@RWOModels thanks
