It is a beautiful model, and your work on it has done it justice. Great build well narrated. I've only got back into modelling over the last couple of years and I'm enjoying more than I ever did. With added videos like yours and others has made my time spent on mine a real pleasure

Fantastic job great looking model

Great video Hammerhead! Absolutely outstanding performances and skills used in those video. I’m blown away by the cockpit and the small photoetch items you had to put together. Again, great video! I have this saved to my account. I’ll be referencing this video when I do my own FW190 A8 and any aircraft for that matter! 😃

Great video, I found your channel a while ago now now I'm in love with your commentary style! Keep up the amazing work! I built the 1/48 airfix P-51K a few weeks ago, now I'm tempted to pick up this one as well!

Hammerhead....what part if the country are you from?

that was a really nice build. I bought my first kit and I am thinking about painting it with a brush, would it still look good even if I won't use the airbrush?

Wish we had this in Ohio or Kentucky. The show was awesome, and I really enjoyed it. Sadly, Hobby shows don't get the publicity on tv. Only here on KZfaq. Enjoyed this and keep up the good work!

Fantastic to watch. You did a great job, including the full build and base with figures. Very informative for an amateur modeller still learning , great insight into a lot of different techniques. Thanks

I’ve already put a comment, but got to say having watched your build again, it’s fabulous and one of the best builds on YT Jason 🇬🇧

The build looks really nice, but $80......Wow!!

That turned out nice! Sometimes less is more!

I definitely prefer the long versions of your videos. They are fun to watch. Congratulations on the beautiful Fw 190. I don't know much about Luftwaffe planes, but a friend once told me that when the limousine was moved aside, the antenna wire fell freely onto the fuselage - it was not flexible.

absolutely gorgeous, i love it. only the radio antenna seems off, with the canopy open / back, the antenna wire would have some slack to it. great build nonetheless!

great video! did you said you thinned the Vallejo paint with mr leveling thinner?

That ''little piece'' you applied to the underside is a static wick I believe. Very nice build , thanks for sharing it👍

When's the build video coming? 😁

Beautiful build! I've got a Tamiya 1/72 scale on the way. I don't think it's got quite the detail level as the Academy, but I'm definitely going to be leaning into your techniques here. I haven't built an airplane kit since before graduating high school, so it's going to be a whole new experience!

I live in the Lake District in the UK and we are on the training flight path for the RAF and USAF low level flight training. In the last few weeks RAF Typhoons have rattled my windows as well as Chinooks and AH64Ds flying in formation. The USAF V22 Osprey and F-15 Strike Eagles. Now all these are low level training here, some at night but the majority in the day and they make a hell of a noise. I would not want to be facing down something like the F-15 that's for sure.. Anyway great content on here my friend, loving it

Great video

Really cool model show. 👍

Looks like a great show love the concept on judging I'd be interested to go up next year in display some of my work

The WWI plane you were not sure about,looks like a Curtiss JN4 Jenny. That M2-A3 Bradley is absolutely gorgeous!! I am a former 11M so I know the Bradley intimately. I liked the whole vid. That Lancaster you pointed out is HUGE!! My 1/48 is bigger than I thought it would be. Great presentation again, loved it.

I wish there were some of the shows around me. There are none here that I can find.

Really enjoy your videos mate!

💀👍🏻

So this is the place where you used to be able to see the Chinooks flying over😄 Thats so cool! i remember you mentioned this the other day. After i have witnessed a low pass of two US Army chinooks, i was deeply impressed. This looks like a great expo and i like the way they approached the judging. I havent heard of this type of procedure before

i wish somting like this too greets from switzerland. O_o

I wasn't there, just a tad too far away, but there is no doubt in my mind that this Expo format was vastly superior to the standard IPMS format. I particularly like the idea that the modeler can be associated with their work and that others have an opportunity to meet the people behind the work. I think the smaller turn out in certain subject matter is more indicative of modeler's interests in general, or perhaps what they feel comfortable building. Shows / Contests that divide into categories will, by definition, give a different impression of what is popular in modeling just because of the congregation of the same types in the same area of the show. The Rocky Mountain Expo format, I believe, promotes more models being shown by each modeler, versus a category style show where a modeler may only bring a few of what they consider to be their best work. For this last reason, I think that the Expo format gives a more nuanced view of the hobby, but also presents some challenges to deal with if the show grows in participation. Challenges meaning, "Will there be enough space for everyone?" , "Will there be enough time for viewers to see everything?", "Will it be more difficult to remember a the myriad numbers of modelers one could potentially meet?". Nonetheless, this is a vastly superior format and I can only hope that IPMS will get off of it's hidebound duff and consider similar changes.

Hi where do you get the drill bits from please the ones with multi coloured ones thnx Jimmy

Great work! I like that you show everything on step-by-step basis.

Great video and commentary about the show.

That’s a a-wing not a u-wing

Brilliant build dude! Love it! 190 is one of my faves. When it comes to Luftwaffe RML colours is un like most nations there is not much in the way if documentation to know the exact colours. I find anyone calming what should be the right RML colour normally has no idea what there on about plus, and this is something they dont take in consideration that is documented is that depending on factory paint stocks are will depend on what it comes out like. They were told what the colours should be an what ratios ‘should be’ wont mean they will come out like that so there is nor real right or wrong colour also you can calm ‘its been out side along time!’ The undercarriage bays some times will be the same colour as the under side and some are a odd grey brown. Your right in the nose guns they were deleted on some to reduce the wight if these already heavy aircraft. I love eduard kits but i dont like there decals! But i have found using white spirits on a cotton bud works really well, so you can still put it on the conventional way and so you can do decals as normal then use the spirits on a bud and it will come way easy!

Thank you for shouting out my USS Defiant. I'm humbled by your praise. Your models are fantastic. That B1 was a sight to behold in person! I hadn't come across your channel before, so your display at the show introduced me to your work. I've subscribed and look forward to catching up on all your builds.

Great video, Brett!! It was also nice to meet you, although briefly. There were four of us from Idaho that came down to the show, two from the Boise area and two from N. Idaho. Looking forward to coming down again next year. Loved that you got a shot of my A-6A with the folded wings towards the end of your video. One thing I definitely learned is that I need to do bases with my builds, they make the subjects pop! Jeremy Elliott

Been watching your videos for a while; great work! I mostly do 1/35 armor and figures but once in a while do a wing thingy or something that floats. Amazing work on those tables at the show in Utah!

Very good build, but one thing. With the open canopy, shouldn’t the radio wire more loose than stretch? Like the tip on watercolours with dish soap.

It was so cool to meet you in person! Seeing your builds in real life and not just in videos was awesome

Great video Brett! Once again, kudos to your narration, I much prefer that than just video with often-times terrible music! Thanks for representing! And you look quite suave in the hat!!❤

I’ve only built one Eduard kit, but I love ‘em! I set my decals in place using Micro-Set, but did wait 24 hours minimum. Then used a brush with Mineral Spirits to remove the carrier film. Personally, I think doing separate video “chapters” will retain viewers. I did it tonight, but it’s hard to watch an hour + video in one sitting. I think 15-25 minutes is preferable. Just my two cents. Turned out great! Peace and love.

awesome video nice work on the tables congrats on the wins keep them coming

Kirk Tank designed the 190 to be easy to fly, reduce the pilot workload and ease of field maintenance. It had a single lever engine control that was years ahead of it's time. Not as agile as the 109 but very rugged and easy to keep flying.

That was a great build! I will be building the Tamiya 1:350 Fletcher as the USS Kidd DD-661!

Nice summary! Great to make your acquaintance at the show. After seeing your work in person, I’ll DEFINITELY be learning from your channel!
