Airfix messerschmitt Me262a-2a 1/72 scale model build
i also use my battery cordless airbrush kit to show what kind of finish you can get with this type of airbrush kit
does the kit do the job ok? is the battery going to last without recharging?
the kit is the one i got from the Airfix Mystery box
how does the airfix kit compare to the revell version?
buy this kit here:

cheers it was a fun build to be honest the revell kit is still a good kit for the cost of it

Aye up lad, really enjoyed this build, turned out great. What an iconic aircraft the 262 is. Just had a quick shuftie at your site...... you've got a new subscriber. I'm looking forward to checking out more of your vids properly. Best wishes from the other side of the Pennines.

Hiya YM, nice build and paint job, i think all kits look better with pilots or crew but most manufacturers don't bother so "well done Airfix" all the best Eddie 🐦.

Gotta agree airfix do a nice job giving us figures as it gives some perspective on scale Also your damn right about those engines and I gave you a mention in the video for it Thanks 👍

You can say that again! A lot of manufacturers don't even bother putting something in there; even if it's not super detailed. I had to go to a separate online store to purchase a host of random 1:72 scale pilots in the seated position from the approximate eras just to get something in there. Also bought a box of pilots+crew so that I can have one plane with a pilot going up the ladder. Definitely breathes more life into these things than just seeing empty cockpits all the time. 🥴

Thanks for sharing. I've never used any airbrush at all and feel a bit overwhelmed with all the options available with compressors and tubes. Would you recommend such a cordless airbrush gun to a complete beginner and how do you thin the paints? I looked up all my cans and it looks like I have both acrylic and enamel paints (mostly Humbrol and Revell paints). I assume you have different types of thinner for acrylic based paints and enamel based paints; or is it not recommended to use an airbrush with enamel paint? I guess I should just look around on YT to see if there are any "Airbrushing Guide for Beginners" videos out there haha. Anyways, thanks again for sharing!

@DanakarEndeel Жыл бұрын

Forgot to ask, but what's the name/brand of that cordless airbrush gun?

@yorkshiremanmodels Жыл бұрын

i would recomend at cordless airbrush for beginners because it will do all you need it to enamel paints need different thinner to acrylic and are sprayable through a airbrush watch barbatos rex videos on youtube and you will learn how to use a airbrush because he has great videos showing how to use a airbrush the airbrush i used in the video is this www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B089FB37JF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 it isnt available anymore but similar can be bought
