100% I completely agree, however it’s got to be super precise as if the piece is wrong it’s rather hard to rectify!🤣

Well this makes me look like a mug!! Thank you very much for letting me know I won’t fall into that trap next time🤣✌🏼

i only know because i did the same thing but used it to seal the final lot of weathering on the outside of a model, ruining it. its a handy product but ive put a big X on top of mine to remind me not to grab it as a flat varnish again :D@@machmodels

Sometimes I'll use flat as a base for weathering on armor. Especially desert war vehicles. It leaves a dusty like appearance on the kit and you can add layers to it that really makes it look like a lot of depth. First time i used it on a Afrika Korps panzer 3....i was shocked by the outcome. Lol. But I used it to my advantage now. Haha

I had the same problem, except my aircraft went white, like it had winter camouflage applied. 😢

​@@machmodelsyep. You want XF86 for flat clear

Ah makes sense! Thanks for the comment☺️

Thank you very much! No problem, they are a superb brand! What are you thinking of ordering from them😁

I think you're thinking of the "shräge musik" armament on nightfighters .. the barbettes on the 410 were for defensive fire only.

Thank you for the informative comment! Really appreciated✌🏼😁

​@rich34glider I don't think the ME 410s were used for night-fighting duties, so wouldn't have been fitted with the Schräge Musik.

Thank you for the information! Got pretty darn lucky on this one then… won’t do that again🤣🤣

Thank you very much dude! Haha I’m not too sure either sometimes, that being said this one really tested how quickly I can chuck them together✌🏼

I couldn’t agree with you more! Thank you for the comment😁

I assume you are referring to Eduard's magnificent kit, not that crappy 110 that Airfix produces...

Thanks!😁

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it😁🤙🏻

Thank you very much sir!😁

Same here!! Superb variety of stock as well😁

Thank you very much sir!✌🏼

Thank you very much!! Hope you enjoy the kit✌🏼

Thank you very much!😁

I couldn’t agree more! Very enjoyable experience this kit, for a darn good price as well!🤣😁

It really is superb! I can’t wait to see what other people do with this kit😁

Thank you very much!! Glad you enjoyed✌🏼😁

Haha not sure! Thank you very much!

Thank you! Yes really came outta nowhere!

Thank you very much!! Really appreciate it, lots of other content on the channel which I’m sure will be of interest😉✌🏼

Thank you very much! I would’ve loved to have seen this in 1/32, cheers for the information! Really appreciate it😁✌🏼

Meng does a pretty good one in 1/48th

​@@machmodelsthat would be really nice to see.

Thank you very much!! Very kind of you✌🏼😁

Thank you very much🤙🏻

Thank you dude!✌🏼

Thank you very much!! Ah yes that would be rather hard to do with a brush… maybe it’s time to invest in an airbrush hey?😅

@@machmodels hahaha true! Perhaps for Christmas then 🤣

Hope you enjoy it sir!🤙🏻😝

@@machmodels thanks! So it does build up/goes together pretty well?

Thank you very much!😁

Thank you sir! Don’t tell the KZfaq people but me too!🤣

Surprise!! Very welcome on their lineup✌🏼

No one did! Except for the model shops which already have it on sale today, the day it was announced.

Thank you very much!✌🏼😁

No problem! Hope you enjoyed it✌🏼😁

Thank you! Hell yeah they have had a superb 2023!🤙🏻

Thank you so much Matt!😁✌🏼

Thank you!

Thank you very much!✌🏼😁

@@machmodels you going to Telford Model Kit show this weekend

@@Natsmodels56sure am!

@@machmodels saw you yesterday but you was busy xx but great t shirt

@@machmodels what model you bought just beening nosey lol

Thank you very much for the information! I’ll keep that in mind next time! Horrayyy KZfaq sorted itself out!😁

Thank you!😁✌🏼

Thank you very much! Appreciate the information as well😁

Thank you very much! Yes it is a real shame, it makes the rear of the plane feel a little naked and plain?! But I guess that’s just the world we live in now.

​@@machmodelsI bought a few weeks ago a decal sheet full of swastikas in various scales. You know what ? I never got attracted by nazism nor became a fascist. 🙄

You can source these from after market on line retailers. I have a load of them. Different scales.

It's because German politicians considered model kits "toys". The Swastika is not legally depictable in Germany unless it is for artistic or historical or educational purposes. It's not a "hiding the truth" or a "this is the modern world I guess lmao" issue at all. It's really just a case of German boomers not understanding that model kits (and video games!) are art and thus shouldn't be censored under the law against extremist propaganda symbols.

@@Blackgriffonphoenixg I agree up to a point, Airfix was a British company they were then bought out and are currently owned by Hornby also British, I also built dozens of kits through the 70's all had the Swastika not only Airfix i might add. then they disappeared. Was the West German market so large that it forced a rethink for the rest of the world? Call me what you may but to hide something makes its appeal greater, that's human nature. As i said in my 1st comment the Swastika was on almost every piece of German Nazi era equipment from spoons to the Turpitz. Leaving it off of an injection moulded kit is not going to indoctrinate anyone

It really is!! I’m sure eduard will produce a mask set soon enough for all of us😁

Thank you sir! Hmm very interesting, what is that like as an airbrush?

@machmodels i love it! I came from a 50€ sparmax and its definitely a step up. The valve controll on the front is ideal to control airflow, and with correct practice of thin paint and low presure( which i haven't fully figured out yet) you can even do nice fine detail. Its also really easy to clean and keep clean. Something i like is that the paint cup is not a tub like on some cheaper burshes, but directly feeds into the needle (idk how to explain it better but i hope you get it) which leaves less mess to clean up. Overall im really happy with it and it does a fantastic job and its a blast. Good brand aswell since i use a lot of mr.hobby products, i can definitely recommend it.

Thank you very much dude!! Hope you enjoyed the show✌🏼😁

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it✌🏼😁

Thank you sir!😁✌🏼

Thank you very much!😁

I’m not too sure! I don’t think I missed it out the kit😅😅 I’ll ask them at Telford, thanks for the comment✌🏼😁

Хеншель - 129 все ждут...а ,италери, все только обещает перевыпустить свою модель...и тормозит!!😢😮

Thank you very much! I got sent this one a little earlier in the week but still only about 4 days to get everything sorted for it! That would be a superb release hey?😫✌🏼

Thank you very much! Very decent kit indeed, glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it✌🏼😁

Thank you! Definitely… perhaps gives me an excuse to get one😁

Yup!!! I have been overwhelmingly schooled! Thanks for the comment🤣✌🏼

Thanks for the comment Neil! Don’t think this one is a turboprop though!✌🏼

Thank you! Definitely a very welcome surprise, and yes the plastic is really nice to work with😁

Thank you very much for letting me know🤙🏻😉

Thank you! That makes sense, thanks for letting me know✌🏼😁

Thank you very much for the suggestion! Looks like I know what I’m doing with my weekend… painting bottles! I’ll let you know how I get on😁✌🏼

Thank you very much sir! Ehh I would imagine they are in a similar class!😁

Oooo yes that would make a lot of sense! Thanks for the comment✌🏼

So it doesn't blind the aircrew.......

Thank you very much! Oooo yes that would make sense, thanks for the comment😁

Also to shield them from the target so not as visible when attacking at night

Phew! Yes I think this one tops it definitely😁

Thank you! I believe the wings had more of this splinter camouflage which is notoriously very sharp. I might be wrong but I believe on the whole sharpness was key here!😁

Thank you very much for the facts!! Really makes sense now.. feel a little stoopid!🤣🤙🏻

I will have a look!! Thanks for the suggestion😉

They sure as hell have!😁

Thank you for letting me knowN

Thank you! I wish I could comment but I’m not sure how they compare!✌🏼

Thank you!✌🏼😁

Wooooohoooooo!✌🏼

Thank you very much! I’m sure you’ll love this kit if you like anything German✌🏼

@@machmodels i absolutley love German Aircraft !!! Mach with a passion , just a shame its 1/72 my eyes are not the best these days and i struggle a bit , loads of good kits in 1/72 but i try and get the same in 1/48 for my eyes you know , great job as always !!!! all the best Shaun.

Apologies for my mishap!!😁

Thank you very much for the information sir!! I’ll make sure not to make the same mistake🤣😁

Hey dude! So for airbrush I use a Harder and Steinbeck Evolution and for compressor at the moment I’m using a Sparmax 620X😁

I don’t believe there are any flying to my knowledge :)

I partially agree! But I feel like using them might’ve obscured some of the visible cockpit detail… that being said it would’ve been nice to have them included!😁

Thank you very much for the information!!😁

I do indeed!! I think I forgot to mention it in this built, my apologies!😁

Dont apalagise dude, youre buiolds are great!!@@machmodels

I’m not too sure if this is a compliment or an insult… but produced in 4 days!😁

So I believe you might be talking about blue tac, or white tac as another name. I can’t imagine they use anything else! Hope that helps😁

@@machmodels That looks like it would work. Thanks!!!

I feel your confusion! Very similar to me about a two years ago when I was just starting out with modelling, I ended up just watching as much content as I could and trying all the different techniques that where recommended to me by the videos and sticking with the ones which worked the best with me! That being said it isn’t the most efficient way of learning how to make good models but my good friend called Tom has recently put together a huge “basics” series that has around 8 hours of content walking you all through the basics. Here’s a link to it: learn.tscalemb.com/courses/Modelkit4Beginners

@@machmodels many thanks for the reply I’ll give it a look! Cheers

Oooo thank you for such an interesting fact!😁

Thanks for the information! Really appreciate it✌🏼

Oooo big question that!! It really depends on what you enjoy, so pick a subject that you are passionate about. For me my first was of course a spitfire because I loved watching them at airshows, always helps to give you motivation! In regards to brands you can’t go wrong with airfix starter sets or also Tamiya just because of the superb fit!! Hope this helps✌🏼

​@@machmodelsthank you im gonna buy a airfix spitfire and aec matador.

Thank you!

I might’ve… not on purpose if I have!!! My apologies😞

I completely agree, I always let people know as a starting point but it’s all dependant on setup like you said. Sorry about the imperfections! I’m sure yours will be free of all minor cock ups!! Thanks for the comment😁🤙🏻

Ahahaha, I wish they were free of all imperfections... 🥲

I’d definitely like to! But I don’t think I can afford one of those at the minute!

Thank you!😁

Thank you very much for the information!! Really appreciate it makes far more sense now🤣✌🏼

Thank you for the comment!✌🏼

Thank you sir! I know it does feel a little off without them, shame about the new printing laws not being able to print them! Maybe they will change their minds in the future?

Thank you! I somewhat agree but I think using washes enhance them potentially a little too much? Something for me to potentially work on in the future

@@machmodels Don't get me wrong, a well finished suite of panel lines like this is hard to achieve and enhances the model. I started kit building 50 years ago, the lines on these things are magnificent, 0.5 mm or thereabouts? Amazing. But in 1/72 that's a 36mm gap, something you'll not see on a real aircraft. I find myself hunting down old airfix, matchbox and ex frog kits. They often have fitting and shape issues but I enjoy correcting those. And the after market parts can make a fine finish. Paul Budzik on Scale model workshop has done a couple of videos on raised and scribed panels. A lot depends on what you want but I enjoyed them

They're actually really fine and impressive on modern kits... but Airfix are still using 1980s mould tech.

I real life the panel lines on this kit are probably the finest I've seen from Airfix.

Since I’ve posted this I’ve had many people enlighten me! Thanks dude😁✌🏼

It’s huge!!!

None in this kit! I’m sure you could snag some from another kit though and they’d look at home✌🏼

Uhmm I don’t think I agree with this one! Airfix released and announced the kit at 10:00 and myself and Jadlam posted our content at 10:05! I talked to Dale today and I think we both agreed there was miscommunication on both ends… all worked out now😆✌🏼

@@machmodels It wasnt a dig at you. It was aimed at the fact Jadlam have listed new kits on their website before airfix have announced them. They have a history of 'doing their own thing' shall we say, when it comes to things like this. Kits like this are released from airfix to distributors on an embargo, them sending you one 4 days ago, breaks that embargo. No fault on your side, but their questionable ethics is too dodgy for a lot of youtube modellers, especially those who have good relations with airfix.

Thank you! I’m sure you won’t need too much, perhaps not Tamiya level of fit but still easy enough! Thanks for the comment🤙🏻

Sorry! Can’t change the rules with printing and stuff… although I did buy a sheet of the symbols yesterday so I’m gunna chuck a few on later to make it a little more accurate😁🤙🏻

Well if you turn a blind eye it’s not too shabby!😁
