Hi Cole, if you're referring to the P-51 at about the 29:25 mark, the sign next to it indicates that it's a 1/32 scale model.

@@MaxAfterburner I couldn’t see it

Blurry

I asked the same thing of the model builder of the F/A-18 in the tiger striping near the beginning of the video showroom portion. He said, "It's just part of the process you have to deal with when exhibiting at the conventions."

@@MaxAfterburner I can't imagine. My goodness

あなたがビデオを楽しんだことをありがとう、幸せ 😃

Thanks GSG5master, glad you liked the video. So many great modelers were out there and kind enough to show off their work 😃

Gracias!

Hi, Steve, thanks again!

So far, IPMS has nothing scheduled for Arizona in 2020 🤔

Anything and everything...whatever comes into their imagination as a useful material.

Thanks fred ted, so much to see that day for sure. 🙂

I hope this helped give a little picture of what was going on.

@@MaxAfterburner thanks man

There was some fantastic works out there on display!

Thanks, Robert! It was amazing to see all that talent in one place!

Hi Bill, ah, the "Lady Be Good", such a tragic story :-(

Hi Jon, I wish you a speedy recovery! I had surgery myself just over a year ago and it was a miserable time. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos and hopefully they're providing you a distraction as you convalesce. You only have to subscribe with one click and then you should get a notification every time I put up a new video if you have that option selected in your preferences.

Merci!

Thanks again JCL C! The F-14D Tomcat project should be uploaded in about a week or less :-)

Truly amazing, one of many incredible models at the IPMS show.

Thanks Miguel, I appreciate that!

Hi TWVM, I use the Iwata NEO airbrush in my videos. Thanks for watching!

@@MaxAfterburner Awesome thanks for the fast reply would you recommend it for a beginner or should i stay with normal paintbrushes for now

I believe an airbrush is the most essential tool for the model builder. It really enhances the look of any project all the more. If I couldn't airbrush, I wouldn't build kits at all.

@@MaxAfterburner Thanks for the info i will see about getting one.

Gracias! Iwata Neo; Paasche D500 1/10hp

Thanks Bryan!

Hi, I don't know of any Blue Angels exhibit at the 22:23 mark. There is a short clip of the "Summer of '64" Blue Angels flight line at 18:41. That is the only shot I have of that display though.

Ah, that it was it. Sorry my mistake. Thanks :P

Thanks! Congratulations on your IPMS videos as well!

Gracias!

It was unbelievable, this section was a whole model convention in itself.

That's great! I'm in the wrong business, I guess.

I don't know how you could choose most of the time :-)

Thanks Mike, I'm glad you enjoyed the "show"!

Hi Anthony, thanks for sharing your wonderful work. We had a lot of fun looking it over!

Hi Chris, sorry, too much to cover!

I agree with your assessment, that A6 was amazing!

Obrigado

Thanks Lawrence, I really appreciate the sentiments!

Hi Donald, it was a very humbling event for me too! You have the right attitude -- having fun and trying to do better on each new build ;-)

Just keep building .... They will get better .... I've been building since I was about 8yo .... Way back in the mid 70s I started with the Monogram snap fit Spitfire ... Over the years I've built em all .... From planes to cars to ships .... Star Trek TOS ships are my favorite .... Just keep going and the skills will improve

1/72 is the best value in the hobby right now.

Just keep having fun. All scales are getting to be a bit pricey. I was going to build the Roden 1/144 scale C-5 until I found out it was well over a hundred dollars. Oh well it was a great show and a fantastic vendor hall. Spent way to much.

Donald Savage -- DON'T feel inadequate. There's an ENTIRE NATION of modellers that mainly models in 1/72 scale and smaller and it's Japan! Most of the Bandai kits for the Classic Star Wars vehicles are 1/72 scale! They're snap-tite kits and probably the highest-quality licensed motion pictures replicas any company has done in the history of the worldwide modeling industry-- definitely the highest-quality Star Wars miniature kits at any rate.

That's why I could never enter, I'm sure they could find something... :-O

Max_Afterburner Depends on judges but I don't know about the nats but if there's a smaller contest that local club puts on annually I've seen winners chosen by name recognition too!😡 names of entrant shouldn't be on paperwork in my opinion!🤔 Jman👀

For example, at 4:58, that splinter F-16C looks amazing but it has some technical mistakes. It is serial #86-0314 which is a block 30, but he has built it as a Block 40 (WAR HUD, extra strengthening plates, antenna on vertical stabiliser). The pros aren't perfect :)

Harry Marshall True if someone knows their F16 I can see that but the bullshit they look for are misaligned wheels on armour/cars on planes it's wings,landing gear symmetry! Also they may use their $19.95 atomic beam flashlights to spot seems and glue marks!😳 Jman👀

I'm no expert on them, but I'm a huge Viper fan. I know a fair amount about the Viper, but I couldn't spot mistakes on another aircraft. An F-14A is an F-14A to me; I could spot the difference between an A and a D Tomcat but that's it. I guess in competitions of this level they have to be that fussy, especially if there are trophies/prizes involved. For me, I like to build with detail and accuracy but it's for me and me only. I build and call it quits when I'm happy :) I have just made a rather big mistake on my F-16C blk 30; I thought that they had updated the landing gear and so I elected to use the more modern strut. Turns out that they in fact have no updated the landing gear, and instead removed the MLG light and installed the NLG light instead. Oops!
