The 'gun' on the top wing is actually a gun camera that was activated by firing the main guns and used for training. It is housed in an adapted WWI era Lewis gun mounted upside down. You can see the grip pointing upwards. Nice build.

In the automotive "real" world, to get metallic pigments to stand up correctly is vital to avoid tiger stripes (you can always tell when a metallic car has been resprayed by an amateur!). So, to do the front part of the fuselage, I would spray clear base WITH levelling thinner to keep it tacky whilst refilling your colour cup with the duraluminum, and spray that on very slowly until you get the desired effect. Give it a go sometime... won't hurt!😊 All the best.

@MisterHampshire Ай бұрын

Agreed.

@machmodels Ай бұрын

My apologies for not recording it! Hopefully this will help explain: In terms of attaching the rigging, I use a thin super glue. Not super thin as that dries a little to quick, any manufacturer will do for this. I then use some vernier callipers so approximate the distance between the two mounting points. Then what I will do is cut out a length of rigging that I know is about 25% longer than it needs to be for the distance, to give me some working room for error. I’ll then dab a small amount of the thin glue onto the very end of the rigging, and place it onto one of the mounting supports. After that has dried, using a pair of tweezers, I will stretch it until it is tight and at the opposing support and snip off the 20/25% excess that I used. Then repeating like before, a small dab of super glue on the end and using the tweezers I will rest it in the supports position for 45 seconds as the glue cures. Hope this helps!👌🏻

Excellent instructions and camera work. I would like to see more detail of doing the rigging - so far I have jibbed at doing a biplane because of "rigging anxiety." Do you have any preference for detail brushes. I did buy a Winsor and Newton No. 7 and it has been in a different league from anything else I've used, but the cost is prohibitive and I'm not a pauper, but I wondered f there is anything out there to compete that you may recommend?.

So all of the struts initially sat with no cement of gluing of the sort, after I had “jiggled” everything into place I glued everything in place with ammo mig ultra glue. If you are unfamiliar, it is a super strong PVA glue, it dried super hard but doing affect the paint finish underneath. Hope that helps!

Hell yeah they do! Definitely try to make your way over there, I promise you it’ll be worth it☺️👌🏻

Lovely build and model. But Hendon and Hannants won't get a visit from me since the introduction of the ULEZ con.

Wonderful build. I just recently found your channel and I’m in the process of watching all your content. Just curious if you could link the products you use in the video description? Or maybe if not a straight link could you put a list of said products in the description? Again I love your content and please keep it coming. Do you ever build tanks or cars?

@machmodels Ай бұрын

Thank you very much! How are you finding the content? I’m sure I could look to do something like that in the future, if there is anything in particular you want now let me know and I’ll be more than happy to find you a link☺️👌🏻

@@machmodels⁠love the content. I watch quite a bit of KZfaq videos like Plamso and Night Shift but I like the shorter videos you do. Simple and to the point. As far as links to the stuff you use I’m not saying link everything but maybe stuff like the weathering pencils, mask sets, and 3D decals. Stuff like the paints and glues aren’t really needed.

Great thank you so much - I’ll ensure I do that in the future☺️👌🏻

Is the paint sprayer hard to learn how to use ?

@machmodels 20 күн бұрын

I wouldn’t say hard, but to master it you need to spend a lot of time using it. But it’s pretty plug and go, as in it’ll spray well first time of using it👌🏻

No pilot or mechanic? Maybe time for Airfix to produce a special 1:24 scale collection of suitable figures.

Not sure he'd fit in this kit, though... 😅

@machmodels Ай бұрын

Could be a good addition to the kits! Fingers crossed we might see some in the future.

Excellent build comes out very nice but Airfix needs to include seatbelts. In my view a glaring omission especially with the open cockpit

Thank you very much! Would you recommend they mould them in or add a photo etch fret?

it's a super aircraft and a good looking kit, but why do the trailing edges of the wing in the finished kit look like a plastic sandwich with a visible split between the top and bottom half ? Is it like that on the real aircraft?
