Sorry for the long delay in getting this out gang, it's been a busy few months for me. But I'm back and feeling somewhat refreshed. I hope you enjoy the video m8s!

I've just caught up with your channel and having this kit in my stash I had to watch. I'm an ageing resumer but want to give it my best shot.I'm getting there (I think). The days are gone when as a kid too many years ago the Airfix figure of Julius Caesar had a red gloss cloak, groan. Wonderful finish to this kit sir, I can only hope and remember more haste less speed. Is there a video for the figure and setting, I did look but it isn't beyond the realms of possibility that this old codger kept missing it. Respect from England.

Really liked this video, even though I do not do serious aircraft, just the cartoon "Deals" kind. Hope to use that silly putty masking tech. on my "Spitsfire". Kind of ironic that with so many companies producing finishing products for scale models that one of the oldest paints being tube "OILS", come through for the final enhancement. Cheers

Ok. Back into modelling after 25 years. Most comprehensive guide I have seen yet on weathering, amazing, learned a lot. I am exe AAC so not the biggest Spitfire fan, but it's wrong and rude not to have one so this has been on the list (I am bashing very old donated kits that can only be improved...even by me😳😁). On request, could you list basic oil colours for weathering as a starter. I am guessing black, dark grey, burnt sienna, ochre? Yea, I get dry brushing, filters make sense so more watching needed. Oh, and who reads instructions? 😂. Love it. Many thanks. CBA

@SmallSoldier 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks, m8! Yes everyone needs at least 1 Spit in the collection. Oil colours I use a lot are Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna, Asphaltum, Cad Yellow, Cad red, Paynes Grey, Titanium white, Prussian Blue, Prussian Green and black occasionally.

Thanks chap. Appreciated. I am not anti Spitfire, it's just that over here, the Army started it, and at one point were the biggest help operators in europe, and yet, at shows and displays folk always thought we were the RAF😢. Thanks again. I will look into filters, dovetails in with photography

Nice video and thanks for the tips! I am trying to apply the pin wash on a 1/72 model and I am trying different ways but I find so difficult to not end up with a messy panel especially after trying to clean. How long should I wait for the oil paint wash to dry before cleaning it? When I use ear cleaners or brush to clean the paint leaves the lines and ends up smudged on the wings 😢 maybe I need a bigger model to learn this easier perhaps?

@SmallSoldier Жыл бұрын

Your welcome. I usually use a hairdryer to dry the wash then remove the excess right away. I like to use a blue shop towel to remove the excess. It’ll remove the wash without leaving residue behind.

@ChristopheW88 4 ай бұрын

Amazing video! Great explanation, detail and result 👏 how much time do you have after applying the hairspray to do the chipping? Or are you not against the clock with this method? I've used chipping medium before (only once) and been told the window to work in is around 15 minutes, and after that everything has 'set' and you wont be able to chip.

@SmallSoldier 4 ай бұрын

Thanks a lot! As far as chipping goes it really depends on the chipping medium and paint you use. If you use a true acrylic paint such as Vallejo for example, it’ll take less time for the water to penetrate to the chipping medium. If you use Tamiya paint for example it’s sort of an acrylic/lacquer hybrid which you’ll need to be much more aggressive to chip through. To be honest it’s all experimentation, trial and error. I’ve had great results and poor results there’s really no magic formula for it. Thanks again for watching and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. Cheers!🙂

would you rather recommend liquid putty for filling gaps, or diluted plastic goo? nice video btw, really pleasant to watch.!

@SmallSoldier 2 жыл бұрын

Both have they're place but "Sprue goo" is essentially liquid plastic so it feathers into the plastic model a little better. I also use CA glue from time to time especially for getting rid of ghost seams..

@Flingwing24 2 жыл бұрын

Yea, goo makes huge sense. Some of the filler I have been using can be cleaned with water so you cannot wet sand. Also some fillers don't feather that well leaving an edge. Hadn't thought of mr surfacer for gap filling fine cracks....doh

Should I apply x22 gloss before applying decals ?

@SmallSoldier Ай бұрын

You can but I prefer Alclad 2 Aqua Gloss clear "ALC 600". I find I get better results than with X22. If you can't get the Alclad stuff make sure you thin the X22 with either Mr Leveling thinner 400 or the Tamiya Lacquer thinner "retarder type" with the orange cap which is similar to the MLT. Hope that "clears" 😉 things up. Cheers!

If I use only Mark Fit strong will it do work for decals ?

@SmallSoldier Ай бұрын

Well like anything I would do some tests if you can before trying it on your model, especially if you’re not familiar with the product. It really depends on which companies decals your using. Some decals work great with Micro Sol others are thicker and tougher which makes them difficult to conform so I like to use Solvaset for those. Be careful as some decal solutions will make the decal prints run or discolour. I hope this helps with your decisions.🙂🙌🏻
