Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching and I'll pass along your thanks to my father.

Glad you enjoyed it! It was great to have him be a part of the video!

That’s awesome! One of these days I’ll get around to doing a proper Arizona.

Cheers!

Glad you enjoyed it

I really need to try and incorporate it into my builds more!

Enjoy the build!

You are so kind! Thanks for watching!

I agree, I love the OD/over Gray! Classic look.

😊😊😊

Thank you for watching and thank you for sharing a small bit of your family history! I agree, Airfix has come a long way and this is quite a hidden gem of a kit. I've also built this one up in AVG markings, and I imagine I will do more! Take care!

I'm glad, thank you for watching.

Thank you!

I'm glad to hear that, good luck with your build!

that would be an interesting project!

Thanks, that makes sense! With the masking fluid its a little more difficult to do more targeted chipping, but in the end its hard to see anyways, good luck with your next build!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you!

Much appreciated! I will pass on the complements to my father, thanks for watching!

Thanks Matt, I'm going to have to give Mr Surfacer a try.

Thanks, I wish I could take credit for it, but it’s just some free stock music 😂

@@HammerheadModelMaking where did you find the instrumental version? The lyric version is called F*ck the Fakes.

@@michaelmyers2327 I believe this is where I got it from: soundcloud.com/best-music-promotion/dj-freedem-street-rhapsody

Thanks!

@@stevewyatt9546 I really appreciate that, thank you!

Greetings! Thanks for watching. Regarding your question about Lt Welch's aircraft. I have not come across anything the definitely states that he flew #160 that day. However, I think it would be reasonable to conclude that on that given day, it would have been a known fact which aircraft were at the airfield and serviceable, and while perhaps it wasn't recorded the day of, there would have been some sort of record made of which aircraft were armed that day, even if it was recorded days later. It wouldn't be difficult then to narrow down the list of possibilities provided one had access to those records. That said, I haven't done the research to confirm this, it is however, popular belief that he flew #160 that day.

Cheers!

My pleasure!

Hi joe, thanks for watching. I use the Rust-Oleum Painters Touch 2X Ultracover Paint+Primer for my normal priming. Have been using it now for the better part of a decade. I spray it straight from the can. Using it so long I've found that sweet spot that gives me the best coverage without flooding out any fine detail. But really, I've found that this specific primer really works well on plastic and doesn't flood fine details unless I really over spray. I haven't tried decanting and running it through my airbrush, only because, my work bench is in my house and even with proper ventilation, the smell can still permeate and the family wouldn't like that too much. Having said that, it probably would do really well through an airbrush.

Great info thanks. I spray inside the house too and can’t use anything other than acrylics. I agree with you on the Vallejo primer…I could see where yours pulled and ripped on the seem after sanding. How does the rust oleum sand and feather?

Give it a good 24 hours to cure at room temperature and it sands down really nicely. I've even been able to polish it to an extent and get a really smooth finish.

To each their own, I think in spite of the faults of the kit, it is the more accurate one available on the market currently. Thanks for watching though!

Thanks for watching. I do not have a video yet that goes into detail about the varnish layers, however that is a great idea for a video and I will absolutely work that into my release schedule. In the mean time, I'll try to type out the details you are looking for: For a gloss varnish I have started to use Alcald Aqua Gloss almost exclusively. I really like the quick drying nature of the finish and it's easy clean up. Generally, it holds up really well to further weathering and such, it handles Oils with out issue. It will handle mild enamels like the Ammo products, but it doesn't like the tamiya enamels. I generally spray it straight from the bottle at around 25 PSI. It is a little on the thicker side, I've tried thinning it, but find that thinning makes it not as glossy. I generally do a mist coat first then give it a second, wetter coat. I think I usually hold the airbrush about 4-5 inches from the surface of the model unless I'm trying to get a harder to reach area and I might take it in a little closer. The Aqual Gloss is usually dry to the touch after 20-30 minutes and cured in hours. For a matte or satin finish I've been using the Vallejo Mech range and I have really been happy with the results. These I will thin with water, usually just adding a drop or two into my airbrush along with the varnish. I will also add a small drop of dish soap. I've found that the dishsoap helps with the leveling properties of the varnish and provides a smoother coat. I will usually spray these at about 20 psi from the same distance as the gloss in misting layers until I achieve the level of matte/satin I'm looking for.. Drying time on these is very quick and I can usually handle the model after only 10 minutes. I hope this helps, and I will for sure work on a doing a video for all of this in the future! Thanks for your question, Brett

@@HammerheadModelMaking Thank you very much for all your great info! It helps a lot. Looking forward to your new videos. I also subscribed to your Instagram (under a different name). Greetings from the Netherlands

@@SippinSoda71 Awesome, I really appreciate that, I'm definitly more active on Insta, so if you ever have any more questions feel free to reach out to me there!

@@SippinSoda71 Also, I had the pleasure of visiting the Netherlands about 18 years ago, and it is a beautiful country! Cheers!

@@HammerheadModelMaking Nice to hear that you liked it over here! I’m from the Rotterdam area myself. My only trip to the US was a short visit to New York City, back in 1997, I think. One day, I hope to visit Oahu. But that’s a long shot. :) Great explainer by your father on the Japanese attack and the P-40s, by the way!

Yeah, I was still new to the whole video production thing, I've since rectified the audio issues on my newer videos.

@@HammerheadModelMaking Thanks! I’m always happy you reply to almost every comment. I think the fact you made mistakes in the past and grew from them rather than staying perfect forever really shows improvement.

Yeah, I just always have issue with it pulling up from the plastic.

Ok thanks. I’m trying to find a quality acrylic primer. I was hoping the Vallejo primer worked well.

I have heard generally good things about Ammo Mig One Shot primer, but I have not personally used it.

Thank you

No, pearl harbor was not attacked by IDF, that wasn't even a thing in 1941.
