Great to sea brush painting. Keeping the hobby affordable.

Nice to see another brush painter seems to be a sea of people using airbrushes, nothing wrong with a hairy stick!

I know, we may be a small community. But brush painting is just so satisfying to do. :-)

The models looks fantastic! As always your painting is very good. The kit looks very interesting and I am glad to see length and link tracks as well as a one piece suspension in the kit. Airfix really did a great job on this and I appreciate the in box review of the kit. Thanks for sharing this.

Great work, especially in the small scale. Your Sherman Firefly looks more than well, with a good paintwork and weathering and a good eye for the little details. Very nice work and a great result! Greetings, Joachim

Nice job! This kit will probably be my first after coming back to armour modelling after a break of over thirty years! So much has changed - paints, adhesives, detailing parts, techniques - so a lot to learn and try out. You have a like and a new subscriber!

Awsome videos. The only models i hand brush paint are airfix 1/72 scale planes and use Vallejo air paints thier line of airplane war paint schemes they have sets for every era and coubtry that the plane came from and they lay on so smooth you cant even see the brush strokes when finished if you thin it just by keeping brush wet with water and doing light coats and switch the way you brush on each coat most of time it only takes two coats and sometimes depends on part and color one coat is plenty as well. Great job im gonna hand paint me a tank next im building a 1/72 scale ww2 diorama using all airfix kits in 1/72 scale its looking amazing. I found on ebay airfix made 1/72 scale soilder kits from ww2 era and there is one german and one american kot i got and it came with 15 soilders in each kit. And then on amazon i found this American marine infantry set with 45 pieces which means when built you will have 45 different figures and weapons that are bunker mounted or ground used thats to heavy to carry.the men have thier service rifles some with side pistols and gernades on their vests and uniforms glame throwers ect its a great kit to aff to airfix 1/72 scale armor tabks and vehicles and planes to make a diorama. Its almost liek they intended you to buy all the sets in that scale to make a diorama which they did so it on purpose lol which i love and its all so small its easy to hanf paint with a very fine paint brush and thined down vallejo paints, i love habd painting stuff like that brings back childhood memories of me hand painting figures abd small planes and parts for the huhe model aircraft carriers that i built with dad as a kid and i would sit for hours every night with him for years ha d painting little figures and planrs for the carriers and two of the ones we built in 1/250 scale won first place at a huge model show that had thousands of models we competed against to win best in show.

I recently made one of these but haven't finished painting it yet ; you've given me some nice pointers 🙂

@Modkits131 Жыл бұрын

Best of luck with it then. This is one of Airfix’s finer kits in my opinion. And I can’t imagine you having too much trouble with it. Also I’m glad the video gave you some helpful tips.

Cheers ! It was a double kit boxing with the new-tool Tiger for 20 quid - good value for money, i would say . Both kits assembled very nicely. I added some extra resin stowage to the Firefly but left the Tiger as it came . They are about 80% done, they just need messing up . I've always been primarily an enamel painter but have plenty of acrylics to play with . The soap and water idea is good , i used to use a similar idea for aircraft panel lines but have never tried it on armour the way you use it . Thanks again , nice work 🙂👍👍

@Modkits131 Жыл бұрын

@@jimmytgoose476 The soap wash is used by some war gamers (WH40k) for example. And it gets the job done for accentuating details. Especially when I only use acrylics. Either way. I’m sure you’ll have fun finishing up that Tiger and Firefly. Have a good rest of your day. :)

You're the legend amico!Great job as always!Since this heat wave started I've basically stopped building or painting anything. By the way do you like 1:72 scale modeling books?If so, do you have a preferred one like "Perfection" by Sergey Golikov?

@Modkits131 2 жыл бұрын

1/72 is my favorite scale. So I’ll try and look for that book then. I appreciate the suggestion. I’ve been meaning to find a book that covers this scale. Thank you.

Hi im painting a 1 72 sherman, ive painted it us olive drab, where do i paint yellow for highlights, just on raised areas??

@Modkits131 2 ай бұрын

Any raised details that pop out from the flat surface. You can use a subtle dry brush technique to provide a better view.

Nice work my friend! One thing though, the firefly you mentioned didn't kill witman, though it did kill 3 tigers in the same battle, there's a documentary on the subject that mentions how a group of Canadian tanks killed Wittman

Thank you for correcting me. I’d only remembered what the tank curator from the Bovington Tank Museum had said, but my memory was still hazy. :-)
