G'day SMM, Thank you so much for another 'Brush Painting Model'. Brush users everywhere will appreciate your efforts to show us how to brush properly. Now I see that you have done the expanded detail videos on this kit. This will, again, be of great help to us "Brushers". I really appreciate showing us what to do when you make small mistakes. This is valuable information so that we don't mess up a model and waste our time and money. In my country models from Europe and the US are very costly to ship to Australia. Fixing mistakes means a lot to people like me who have come back to modelling after a break of many years. I truly liked your finished model and I will be getting myself a Hurricane kit because of your success. By the way, do you have a favourite kit manufacturer? Recently, experienced builders, like you, have been saying that the standard of Airfix models has been deteriorating, do you agree? As luck would have it, I have a 1/72 Revell B-17 kit and now I've noticed you have a set of videos on the B-17, this has given me enough confidence to tackle that large kit myself, after I put your tips into practice with the Hurricane. Thanks again for the great favours you are doing for us brushing modellers! Cheers, and I hope you are well and happy. BH Hobart, Tasmania

Videos like this, for which I am very appreciative, allay some of the trepidation of attempting these builds. Kudos and thanks.

31:40 the first time I did a sludge wash like that I believed I'd ruined my model but continued anyway as I'd already started. Much to my gratification the majority of it came off leaving the desired effect. Very nice job you've done there.

Another great work, what a pleasure brush painting a kit.

Excellent job, with just the right amount of weathering.

Today i want to take me some time and thank you so much for your excellent Videos. They are the reason why i reactivatet this hobby for me. Your instructions work so good that my first Modell after a long time (a BF 109) looks so great and i had so much fun to build it. With the right techniques it is so awesome. I paint my Kits by hand so far and they look now so lovely. I have a airbrush starter Kit too but i want to try it later. So thank you for your sharing and please make more of these. Greetings from Germany. ☺

Thank you so much for your detailed tutorials.

quite enjoyable. I did learn some new techniques.

I keep watching this series about hand painting and building over and over, I am using it as a referance for my Italeri 1/48 Spitfire MK XV1, first model in a very long time, I just hope I can achieve something half as good as this, keep the videos coming my friend

Amazing results from a hairy stick. Great tutorial

Awesome build!

Hello my friend! I do brush painting only and I have to admit that this project is by far the best!! No other words to say..

Beautiful work, she looks good!

Great Build ! I also hand paint due to health reason , but thanks to you learned some new tricks ! Thank You ! Tony

Was looking for some brush painting technical for my young nephew which I will help in is first kit. Just exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot. Benoit

U make it look easy. Am really enjoying the videos.

Excellent video,as for someone who has placed his airbrush in the bin of shame I find these type of tutorials invaluable....thanks

Fantastic video. Huge fan of your work. I learned a lot from watching. Thank you.

I'm right now building my first model (T-34/76 from Tamiya), as of today I've finished cutting and glueing whole model (+ two figurines and DSHK). Right now they are primed and waiting for painting tommorrow. So your video today is even more helpful for me :)

Brilliant video my friend , was looking forward to this, 15 mins in and loving it. Great information and concise clear approach to video making...well done ...AGAIN. keep doing what you are doing

Excellent work..!

Another first class video. My airbrushes may be laid up for a long time!

Thanks for making another handpainted series. I prefer this to airbrushing, it is appreciated. Great channel.

Great video!!! I'm looking forward to detailed series. You nail it. Best beginner series to modelmaking. I would really love to se more handpainted videos! And after three plainf of the alliance i would love to see FW 190 or me 262, that would be great. You also pursue me ti use vallejo colors from now on.

Hello there ! Very very nice tip with the masking tape sealing ! I stick to brushpainting for now and always had the issue of paint going under the masking tape and it was always a tedious job to sans the relief paint residue and then repair the damage before going to the next steps. Now it's way better. Just finished Airfix 190 A 8 , now to Eduard Mig 21 ! Have a nice day

*Splendid, only with brushes! Oil paints for smokes are also good. 👍👍*

Great job! And I'm building a older Heller 1/72 N.A. F-86F Sable it's going good so far.

Thanks very much - I really enjoyed the video. I wish I had your skill at applying paint chips.

Hello again! Another really fine video and I did, indeed, learn something from it. :) The tip about going over the edges of masking tape with the base color is new to me and you can bet that I will be adding it to my bag of tricks. As a matter of fact, I have an inexpensive 1/48 Spitfire by Pegasus Models that's been sitting on my shelf for ages that I'll use as a test piece. The kit has few pieces (it is marketed as a snap-fit kit) but it's generally accurate in shape and should produce a reasonably good model once it's finished. (I have done a Hurricane I and Me-109 from the same series but I used an airbrush on them and was quite happy with the results.) Thanks for another great video and giving me the inspiration to get one of my old kits off the shelf and on to the work bench. Take care, friend. :)

Thanks a lot! Another great video, learned quite a few techniques. The tip with the base paint along the masking is nice, missed it in my last build :( Will try it on the next though.

Great guide!

Thank you for the video, your five paint coats and fine sanding finish looks incredibly smooth.

Very nice build👍🤗

Thanks for the next hand painted build! Also nice greetings borrowed from Plasmo :D

Haven't seen the video yet, but it looks amazing!

Great work. Heavy weahering of a miliary aircraft would imply a history of being shot at. Would it be possible to simulate bullet holes? Both recent and patched?

Very good

Amazing work. Congratulations. Could you tell us what size of brushes did you use? Thanks

P38 model would be sweet always wanted to make one

3:35 "It is much better to develop the feel for consistency of paint rather than work with ratios, that in my experience would not work." Spoken like a true Kungfu master.... or a masterchef who does not follow recipe measurements 😄

Interesting, I can't afford an airbrush at this point, so I do only brush painting, but I've found that you don't need to have the paint quite as thin and runny as you make it. It does need to be thinned (I use Tamiya acrylics and usually do between 1:4 to 1:6 for water to paint ratio as some paints are thicker than others), but I've found you can make it slightly less thin and runny than you do and you won't have it pool up as much, but it will still self level and require fewer coats, usually three or four. It also has a tendency to bubble less.

Thanks for the great video and found I learned a lot. Could you tell me the what brand and model of brushes you use?

Thanks! I got a lot more tips for my current build (Nippon Maru). Could you go into detail about what brushes you are used for what coats? It looks like a flat then the last is a round?

Very informative! For the gloss varnish after painting and placing the decals, what kind of gloss varnish? Enamel-based or water? Thanks!

Learnt a lot from this. Would like to see a more complicated pattern brush painted.

What brushes you use, can you comment on sizes and softness

Very nice job and that tip about sealing around masking tape is great. I'll use that on my next model.

What size(s) Flat Brushes do you recommend for Hand Painting AirPlanes and CarKits?

Have you made a guide about airbrushing because I am looking for a good airbrush and compressor for a beginner.

Was glad to see you did another hand painting video after the Thunderbolt. With the virus, I really got into model making and use your videos as my main reference. Do you have any preference as far as choice of model manufacturer and brush types? Thank you!

Well done my friend! Once more, your video was highly educational and motivating. Those beginners series are excellent. Why don't you hand varnishing gloss and matt your model? Is it difficult or you prefer to use spray gun?

Hello! Next coat diluting less than previous?

Good video. Are the horizontal stabilizers actually horizontal? The left one seems to be lower. If not then the main gears are not properly aligned. Is this a kit issue?

Sorry, one last question, how about tires the tires for me come out horrible

Anybody have opinions on the Vallejo RAF & Luftwaffe paint box sets? I bought 4 of them online, but I've since seen people in YT comments trashing them, maybe I wasted my money.

Is each cost of paint thicker?

Did you have to use a lot more paint than you would with an airbrush?

what the name of colour do you use

What do you mean by patches in the paint? Puddles, I get puddles

Ok already...get off of my frigging back. Yes it was a very good build.

What brushes do you use sir?

Can you hand paint Gunpla?

This is a nice result on brushed acrylics! I see the rudder is not aligned horizontaly, is this a kit error or a build error?
