Twist the yellow and black wire, it's brilliant.🚧

For over 40 years now, I've always stuggled with those pesky yellow-black alternating colors on the primary and alternating ejection handles and now **BOOM** 30 seconds later and I now have an AMAZING method at my disposal to make them (at least the alternating handle :-)!! I SO appreciate these extraordinary guides and tips! I cannot thank you enough! Your work is stunning and videos are informative, easy to understand and they tend to hold one's attention. Thank you so very much!!!

That ejection seat alone is better than any kit I`ve EVER made. FML.

This is an anonymous post, so I have nothing to gain by saying this. I am a IPMS National award winning modeler and I am happy to say that I can still learn and be motivated by others in this hobby. The method you used for the ejection curtain blows me away. I have spent decades perfecting the painting of these things, and apparently it was all for not. Thanks!

Love the new format! Much easier to know what you are using this way vs the way you used to do it! Great job and thanks...;)

Absolutely incredible work. Craftsmanship worthy of a Faberge egg. Simply stunning.

So many guys here on youtube, who thinking they are modelers, but they produce trash for garbade, but you are a really perfect example of a good modeler, the whole way of making your videos i like, you give informations beside your build, like air pressure, nozzle, what kind of colour, the mixing ratio and always copy of the instruction plan, please stay in this way and make many more videos like this, i would appreciate it so much. Cheers from Germany

Excellent techniques shown here. Man that dry brushing on the side controls really made that detail POP!

Your model building videos are the best and most informative on KZfaq. Love them!

That copper wire thing for the ejection handles...GENIUS

Excellent insight as to the build of this kit. I've had the itch to build an F4C in Robin Old's markings representing his lead in the Thai Nguyen Steel Mill raid of March 1968. I now have the kit to do it!

I just learned more new detailing idea's and techniques that I'm guessing are completely your original idea's (no matter, I've never seen many of them before) and the result was an out of box cockpit that is BEAUTIFUL my friend. Love the format using instructions super imposed as you build along with what paint mixes, colors, what type of air brush, air pressure etc. Best scale modeling production value on your video's I've seen on a modeling video on you tube. Your skills are fantastic and you have just moved into my top 5 favorite You Tube channels of ALL TIME! Thanks for sharing, I'll never miss one of your video's. Great stuff !!

You make it look so easy. It’s anything but that. Awesome job! And I love the background music!

You know it's gonna be a good day when ya see scale-a-ton has uploaded a new video. As always, a pleasure, and inspiration to watch a master at work. :)

I like the way with the parts of the instructions displayed in...

Enjoying your builds very much. Now for part 2, can't wait.

I love the new format or rearrangement of the info! LOVE IT!! as usual the best you tube teaching video about this wonderful hobby; keep up the excellent work!

Love the format, always great to see a new video, cant wait for the next part.

You certainly have set the highest standards in model building and video presentation, amazing all around!

You do beautiful work, my brother. I learn something from every video I watch. Keep up the fine work.

Love the ejection handles technique! Found this because I have a Hasegawa USN F4J kit on the way. Going to use that technique for sure. I also love that you got results this good with kit parts. It's rare to see such a clean result without resin and PE parts. Well done!

great new format. by far the best on youtube. well.done

Instrument panel painting was brilliant. Will have to try some of those techniques myself

Bloody awesome! Appreciate the ratios and air pressure info. For someone getting back into this hobby it is great. I will be using this as a guide for my SU-27 build. I have subscribed.

Stunning work love the new format

Excellent build and paintwork, and those ejection handles! Brilliant :-)

Awesome painting love your videos

Beautifully done!

Ejection handles... I know, few guys before me commented, but I just HAD TO!!!! THANKS 😊😀🙆🙇!

Absolutely incredible. Love the technique You Used for ejection pull Handles.

Fantastic work as always!

The ejecta pull handles brilliant will have to try that, great detail

Level of detail is jaw dropping.

love what you are doing , I am mainly into sailing ship's . but I do have a go at plane's , learn something new off of you everytime . which make's modeling a whole lot more fun , thank's .

Always learn something new!

Liking the graphics at the top. Very neat.

Can hardly wait for the next part!

Nice work as always.

Awesome job!!! waiting for the continue...

I Love The New Intro and my Favourite Jet The F-4 Phantom

Excellent work!!

Top Video, top Musik, top model, top build. It is awesome 👍👌👏👏

I just finished the Revell version myself and wrapping up my video series on it. Its always a challenge painting this model.

piece of art man, very very nice

Exellent work and presentation!

looks amazing - you got mad skills!

Awesome..I've been watching lots of build videos but this is another league. The ejection handles was mind blowing! Your now on my Patreon pledge list :-)

Astonishing !

Awersome work 👍

Im currently doing the Revell version. Any F-4 is always a fun challenge.

great video made me go out and buy this kit just to build alone

Outro grande video, obrigado!

When you are replacing the Black and Yellow Ejection Seat "Handles" with Painted Copper Wire, do you have any problems with the Paint "Cracking" or "Flaking" off when you twist it???

top... awesome video

Fantastico,come sempre.grande.grazie.bye silvio.

대단 하십니다...멋져요 ^^.

magnifique ,encore un nouveau succés !!!! good job , !!!

Brilliant. When I saw you painting half the wire black and half yellow I suspected it was going to be the pull handles. Didn't know how you were actually going to make them though!

Subscribed - great stuff.

Looks really good my friend. I can see why there is so much controversy about Z.M. kits. For $75 in a 1/48 scale I want a PE safety harness and instrument panels. And only ONE decal call out? Sorry not on my wish list. Thank you as always and LOVE your builds and seeing you progress compared to when I first started watching your channel.

Very Nice

Beautiful job Sir. The Zoukei-mura F-4 is the best 1/48 kit on the market. Puts the Academy kit to complete shame.

Finally the Phantom...

it is always amazing to see your work, regards from Mexico.

Nice!

Awesome!

Super!!!

Ellerinize sağlık, mükemmel olmuş.

uf diyorum, kutudan çıkan decal olacaksa kuyrukla şahane duracak hayvan.

Великолепно, мастер.

Tökéletes ! ( Perfect )

Me likes the twisty wires! Me wants to try that!

Amazing work - technical question - why do you sometimes use leveling thinner and sometimes isopropyl alcohol?

Hi! Super great video! I've a question, why do you use sometimes IPA and sometimes Mr Hobby Leveling Thinner for the same paint type (Acrylics) ?

As always, I'm blown away with your work, and always learn something new. But could you explain the "stretched sprue?" Are you heating then stretching or what?

Outstanding!!!! Great new format. I love the Phantom, one of my all time favorites. Looking foreword to the finished product...what paint scheme you gonna go with?

what kind of paint brush are you using in this video , very nice work by the way

Must have missed something but what happened to the checkerboard paint job on the stabilizers ? Besides that what else can I say ? Perfect. Masterpiece. Awesome. Your skills can be compared to those of a swiss watchmaker.

working with epoxy like its puff pastry, good job :D

Do you use a paint booth, if so, which one? Thanks.

What gull gray wash did you use or make up from?

Scale-a-ton What a great idea for making the yellow and black ejection handles. They look better than even the PE ones! Do you know what size or gauge of wire you used for them? Keep up the great work. You are a very talented and awe-inspiring modeler.

You have the patience of a monk

hmmm good

Hello great video when will you be doing part 2 ??? as im building along with you thank you Bill

Amazing attention to detail! One thing that puzzles me is the small amount of glue you use. It doesn't look like enough to hold things together, but it obviously works. What kind of adhesive it that? A CA glue?

Fantastic stuff! Just noticed one small thing; is the pilots right side shoulder strap buckle missing?

alot off EDIT work in your movies, BIG PLUS for you !!!!!

Absolutely great presentation and really helps us newbies. Are there subsequent parts to this??

What gauge of copper wire did you use for the ejection seat handles? Your way is brilliant and I'll be doing that method on my Hornet and Phantom!

for the instrument pannel what was the exact paint?

what was the width of the seatbelts you made out of epoxy putty

You're so skilled it almost pisses me off.

You need to sell strands of that ejection seat wire in bulk

Excellent video!...Love the copper wire trick.....what gauge wire do you use?

Hi tell me please why you use isopropyl alcohol when painting and he is better than thinner.Thanks
