Many thanks!

You are seriously exaggerating, my fiend... I am by no means a master, especially compared with some of the real masters that you can see here in YT... (I'm 61+ myself by the way).. At any rate, thank you very much for your kind words. I hope I won't disappoint in the future :) I also hope you enjoy your P-51 ! Greetings from Greece!

@@wbpsmodels3452 I learn a great deal more from your videos than many, many others. Your styles of modeling and demonstration seems to be perfect for my processes. And your final products are beautifully done.

Thank you... I hoped it'd work... seems it did... (from a distance anyway :P)

Thank you!

Thank you very much Dave. :)

Thank you Juan :)

Thank you very much :)

Thank you my friend :)

Thank you Pete! :)

Thank you Jan :)

Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm not very young myself (almost 60) and my eyesight isn't the best either.. But I use magni-scopes to help cope... Next one will be a 1:72 but the one after will again be 1:32 ! Hope to see you again!

I hear you, man! I’m a 1/48 lifer, but seriously considering 1/32 - this kit, in particular - next. There is much more room to move. There is more yardage to cover, too, but it seems as if the scale is a bit more forgiving in the colour department. I am afraid, though, that our host here makes it look easy.

@@papadopp3870 Agree...I've been building models for about 20+ years after coming back into the hobby (as many of us do after giving it up in our teens). I'm 68 now and still learning so much from modellers such as WBP's Models....thanks goodness for technology and YT!) Thanks for your comment Papa Dopp. Give 1/32 a go, a little more expensive than 1/48 but so rewarding!

@@wbpsmodels3452 I will most definitely look forward to your next post.

Thank you Mel :)

I didn't even know of the existence of the 1:32 Ju88 Technik... It definitely seems to be a challenge. If I can get my hands on it (provided the price isn't forbidding) I would definitely consider building it, although at 60+ cm it would pose a problem where to store it.. (having two cats at home does not allow free-standing models ;) The Flogger, I wouldn't even touch.. but that's mainly because I'm into WW2 planes mostly and not jets.. However, I am in your position with another kit.. I have bought the Platinum Edition of the 1:144 Fletcher type destroyer by Revell which contains 700 parts and just as many PE parts... It's been standing there for months now and I don't dare start it... Thank you for your comment :)

It’s an expensive kit, about 150 euros, 120 $. But, it à réal challenge I work now on a Gaz AAA Of Miniart, and the fabuous panzer 4 from RFM. Tricky. But the revell ju88 is a pièce Of art. The box is huge

I did a quick search on two model shops (where I usually buy from).. none carries the Ju88.. But i'll look for it.

@@wbpsmodels3452 you can find it on Ebay. It's more in the $250 - $300 range though. Lot's of aftermarket details available though. Mine turned out great.

As you can see in the vid, there was practically minimal flash on this model... see my 1:32 corsair.. THAT had a lot of flash!! At any rate, when I cut a piece from the sprue, I make the cut away from the part and then I use the cutter in parallel to the edge of the piece to remove the remaining joint. After the cut, I always use the scalpel to even out the surface. New Revel models (new tooling) are almost flashless... Then again, you never know... I bought an Italeri 1:48 stuka a year ago which was flawless! Then three months ago, I bought an 1:48 P-38 Lightning.. there was some airplane within the flash! Worst model i've ever seen. Thank you for watching and commenting. :)

Thank you :)

Thank you ! :)

The adulators do their best; why this mediocre built model should be "amazing" is a mystery to me. Are you a goody-two-shoes that has to leave behind his traces wherever he can?

@@fasold2164 the irony of that comment is utterly astounding. The best part is you have no clue.

The wash I used was a mixture of black and burned umber oil paints thinned with thinner... Although there are some "odourless" thinners, they also fall under the "thinner / mineral spirits" category and therefore not suggested for you, considering your lung condition... Therefore, the only alternative you can use, is acrylic washes. I know for a fact that Vallejo DOES have a series of acrylic washes, but I wasn't too happy with the one I tried, hence I stick to oils. Usually, "the book" says that you use alternate paint and washes base (i.e. use enamel / lacquer washes over acrylic paints and varnish and vise versa).. However, I am sure that if you use a couple hands (layers) of gloss acrylic varnish and allow it to fully cure (say, 48 hrs), you will be able to use acrylic washes too. Thank you for watching :)

The "early version", according to Revell, refers to the plane itself, not on the model which is indeed new tooling. (I usually go for newer models which have better detail and much less flash).

Thank you :)

Thank you! 😃

Thank you! :) The wooden stand was made by someone here in Greece who makes them as a hobby, using plywood and a laser cutter... Unfortunately, he isn't interested to export them, yet, although i'm trying to convince him otherwise.

The video files alone total nearly 10 hrs... So I'd say that the total build hours (hours I was actually working on the model) were around 20... across a span of one month. (letting paints cure overnight, letting cement dry or decals to set etc, don't count). Thank you for watching :)

@@wbpsmodels3452 Wow! Thank you. Gives one a good idea of what to expect.

Thank you!

Thank you! :)

@@wbpsmodels3452 Enjoying all your work. Especially even the older ones like the F4 Corsair, you still make it look great

Oui, je le dilue à environ 50 %. Merci d'avoir regardé :)

They are scratch built.. I usually use the lead foil from bottle seals (whisky or wine)... easy to cut and easy to shape.

Thank you Darrel. Truth is, I followed the instructions explicitly, I didn't consider searching elsewhere. And the instructions did indeed guide to placing the markings as displayed, as you can see on 0:45 . Who knows.. maybe in this early version they were indeed there and later they were in the middle.. At any rate, thank you for your comment and your kind words! :)

Thanks for your comment. I'm about to start on this same scale model and probably would've made the same mistake. An image search shows you are correct and Revell indeed made little mistake here.

@@wbpsmodels3452 All Mustangs (B, C and D Models) with the Hamilton Standard Prop had the oval manufacturers logo in the middle of the blade. Revell made a mistake in the instructions! I'm a Mustang buff for decades, i've NEVER seen any Mustang with the Hamilton Logo near the prop blade tip where Revell shows it!

I guess you mean the wooden painting stand... Unfortunately, this was made by a local handyman here in Greece who - for the time being- is not interested in exporting it... Thank you for watching :)
