Just new to your channel, really enjoyed all aspects of the build and your informative commentary. Great job given this is your first video and you've only been building models for a short period of time (as I read in your 'about'). I've a lot to catch up on your channel so I'm smiling!!

Haha hopefully you don't get too sick of my voice, I always find myself coming back to these first couple of videos to see how I have altered my modelling and video-making approach over the past year or so now... enjoy all the content and thank you for the support!!

Great build! Well done. I'm in the process of building this kit. What a dream kit when it comes to engineering and fit quality! It's a total pleasure to build it. Just an observation: Airfix calls for the intake interiors to be aluminium, not black. Oh, and I DID forget those two slats in the intakes! Luckily they should go in afterwards. I did a lot of research and puzzling about the colour for the underside, as the colour Airfix suggests is too grainy silver, so I have decided to use Xtreme Metal Polished Aluminium. A satin varnish will dull it down perfectly.

thank you very much!! i could not agree more, this kit was a dream to snap together and i remember being very impressed that this was an airfix kit! thanks for letting me know about the silver intakes… need to do more reference image research in the future it seems!! and that sounds ace!! wishing you the best of luck for the rest of the build!! :)

The aileron workon opposing sides. If one is down the other must be up. They cannot be both up or down.
