Good to see pilot and stand included in the kit. Love the smooth brush application of acrylic paint. Great tutorial.

It’s a brilliant kit! All the parts fit perfectly. Both beginners or experienced modeller’s will enjoy this model. The shadow base is a superb idea. I built mine hovering and I’ve got another to build flying. Great model Airfix

Agree these tutorials are outstanding. Can you please make the Cutty Sark ship model. Favorite of mine. Thanks.

I know this sounds like a demand, but I'd love more ww2 military vehicles and aircraft for quickbuild for 2024. I wish that could happen.

@saulnavarro4730 10 ай бұрын

WW2 is way too oversaturated in model kit companies tbh. I’d like to see more modern stuff

Why doesn't every kit come with stands like this? It's great!

I really liked this one. Dare say Airfix could use it as a start point for a more detailed version at some point. I'd like to see a flat brush in the set for painting larger areas.

@paultaylor7287 Жыл бұрын

I agree, definitely. I'd love a kit that was a bit more intricate and detailed for sure

Is this kit able to be built in the inflight mode with gear down?

@ftb8218 11 ай бұрын

Which paints are they as there's two 164's listed on my box. I'm assuming it's 163, 164 and 165?

So this is a starter set, but you are still supposed to have a palette? I've been modeling for 30y and never had a palette. But yeah, have been thinking about buying one)))

@julianmhall Жыл бұрын

TBH for a palette I'd suggest anything with compartments such as a fridge icecube tray. As the video suggests though one could be made from bits of the model box. Anyway it's not saying you're /supposed/ to have one, just that for a beginner it makes life easier.

I'm sorry, but given that this is supposed to be a tutorial for those new to the hobby, it might be useful if the person performing for the camera got the correct tool for the job and learned how to use it the correct way.
