#Airfix #Modelling #DDay80
Today at Badgerworks, to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, we start on the Airfix "D-Day Air Assault" diorama set, first taking a look at the Typhoon. In upcoming videos, we'll look at the vehicles, the figures and, of course, the base of the diorama.

I certainly hope so, old friend 🙂

Looks great. The tooling info should be on the side of the box. But there are 2 boxings of this set. One from 2014 and one from 2019. The Typhoon kit is from 2013.

It normally is on the side, but I couldn't find it, unfortunately.

Fantastic build, love these videos as they're not only entertaining but also full of really good hints, tips and advice 😁😁

Thanks mate. Your support is greatly appreciated 🙂

HINT: When cutting out panels, always cut away from corners rather than towards them, to avoid damage in case of slippage. (I speak from bitter experience.)

@SteamGeezerUK Ай бұрын

That's very true, but at some point it can be necessary to cut inwards to complete the corner, which can be tricky 🙂

Great job as always. I like that you are so happy to share the bits that aren't so straightforward. Happens to me all the time 😂. Thanks for sharing, really appreciated.

@SteamGeezerUK Ай бұрын

I generally try to include the awkward bits, because we all struggle with them and misery loves company 🙂

brilliant !! looking forward to the rest .. now, how many times did that lil stirrup snap off ?

@SteamGeezerUK Ай бұрын

Funnily enough, not even once. It didn't even bend 🙂

Great trick with the stripes! Im off to get some 6mm tape now! I am curious as to how you manage to do that without the masking tape taking the paint off though, Ive always had to varnish between layers to get the tape to come off clean.

@SteamGeezerUK Ай бұрын

I really couldn't say. I've never really had an issue with tape peeling paint off, unless the paint hadn't adhered properly in the first place, which was usually down to not priming things properly. I don't even mess about waiting for the paint for 24hrs like some people claim you should. Throw it on, hit it with a hairdryer for a minute, move on to the next colour - it's always worked for me. Are you using the same brand of paint each time?

@docbrownscalemodels Ай бұрын

@@SteamGeezerUK it will be primer then - I rarely use primer because it always clogs my airbrush. Lesser of two evils perhaps.

@SteamGeezerUK Ай бұрын

@@docbrownscalemodels I use primer from a rattle can, specifically Hycote grey primer. It works really well on models, miniatures, everything. amzn.to/3ReSEJh

Good grief...that thing required way too much mucking about to get closed up. Patiently done, I'd say.

Thanks, although there was swearing, trust me 🙂 As I mentioned in another comment, I like to show the tricky bits, so people watching who struggle don't think they're doing something wrong 🙂
