Very Nice the only thing missing on the aircraft is the three 3 white stripes on the wings meaning an Allied plane used during the D Day Invasion
@SteamGeezerUK4 күн бұрын
As I explained during the video, the Typhoon had recognition stripes added in 1942, long before D Day, because the shape of the aircraft was found to be similar, at certain angles, to the Focke Wulf FW190, which was its main opponent when it was first introduced in 1941, as the FW190 outclassed the MkV Spitfire. The stripes were painted on the underside of the wings and fuselage, so they would be visible to ground based AA crews. It's also worth noting that invasion stripes on nearly all aircraft were used from D Day right until the end of the war and beyond, so those stripes don't necessarily mean the model or diorama is representing D Day, although in this case it is.

Nice one. Couple of other things: 1. You can get pre-cut mask sets for fairly recent kits from big online retailers, and they're not that expensive: usually £3-£5. They often include perfectly circular wheel hub masks too, which makes painting the tyres much easier. (I know he mentioned it right at the end). Always try to get one that specifically says it's for the same manufacturer as your kit: you'd be surprised how much variation there is between supposedly "identical" models from different manufacturers! Having said that, if you can't get the exact one it's still worth trying one for a different kit, but be aware that you might have to adapt it slightly. 2. You can get masking fluid (the Humbrol version is called Maskol) that you paint on. It forms a rubbery film when dry that peels off once you've finished painting. It's not as reliable or easy as tape, but it can be useful for particularly fiddly bits. You have to be particularly careful around it with airbrushes because the fine, high pressure jet can lift the edge of it or drive paint underneath it.

By a thoroughly rotten coincidence, I watched this just 10 minutes after I mixed myself up some scenery glue - or, at least, watered down PVA. It's a rotten coincidence because I hadn't thought to add isopropyl alcohol to improve the flow. Still, I have a gallon of PVA, so I can just pour some out & add the alcohol... My PVA is builder's grade - will that need more thinning or less? Your medium looked pretty thick.

If I were you, I'd just add a little IPA to what you already made. It really doesn't need a lot. All it does is break the surface tension of the water and let's it flow and soak in better. As for the density, mine comes out somewhere between the consistency of water and milk, so pretty thin.

I'd never consider using Contact adhesive for that application. #1 reason being the solvent triggered multiple micro heart attacks when I was exposed to it in a workplace. #2 reason is it relies on surface area, obviously lacking on 3 sides of that plastic sheet. #3 reason, as you say, One chance to locate it correctly on that highly flexible material. Mind you, you can apply the sheet when the adhesive is still wet. The far better adhesive is polyurethane.. the type used by wood workers if they have low skill and so, very loose joints. This adhesive is very strong and ideal for dissimilar materials. As it cures it it produces a foam that fills voids. This deals with the low contact area around the 3 'lacking' sides as the adhesive expands and covers wider areas than where a thin bead is applied around the edges of the plastic sheet. AND, you wouldn't be fluffing around gluing off-cuts to 'lacking' areas. Apply a thin bead around all edges and a light trace bead on the flat area of the plastic sheet. Wipe the timber sheet (or any material like metal or ceramic) with a water damp rag. This triggers the adhesive cure. Place the sheet down, locate correctly and spring clamp down where needed. Place a weighted sheet cut to size over the flat area. Use gloves because this stuff will stick to anything and spreads easily on sticky fingers. The cleanup solvent is mineral turps. This will fully cure in 24hrs. Any excess foam that my form around the edges can be easily carved off with a sharp knife... even sculptured.

Hi, thanks for watching. You could use any commercial smoke fluid in a machine like this, but it really depends on what output you're looking for. Some smoke fluids are made to produce lots of smoke, some produce a haze, some linger, some dissipate quickly and so on, but any of them will work. It just depends what result you're after.
