Thank you so much !

@@ShuttleFactoryScaleModels no problem at all just saying what I thought on this beauty of a model

I would like to make an NZ civil airliner model one of these days. I just have a lot other model kits to make in the stash.

Thank you so much. I am very happy to hear that you loved the look of this model. The reason why I went for an Airfix figure instead of the kits pilot. Is that I thought that the Airfix figure had a bit more detail.

Thank you Kenneth glad you loved the model and Diorama. And thanks for watching!

Thank you Jose it's good to be back. I'm glad you love the Char B1 too.

Thank you for your kind words. I’m always happy to hear that you love seeing a model kit being brush painted. And thank you for watching too!

Thank you Matt, glad you loved the camouflage on this one. Most 1/56 scale armour kits are super fun and easy to make. Hope this inspires you to try a 1/56 scale model kit or want to make a Char B1 model kit.

thank you it is good to be back!

I could not agree more. Scale Modelling is an underrated art form

The kit only comes with the option to have the landing gear down. However, it should not be too hard to glue the gear in the inflight position.

Thank You!

Thank You for your kind words, Larry. The streak Fokker DR.1 camouflage was also used on early models of the Fokker D.VII. Thanks for the book recommendation, if you want any great biographies on WW1 Aces, check out Peter Kilduff’s books. Such as his books on Billy Bishop, Rudolf Berthold and even one Herman Goering’s WW1 service.

Thank you for the inspiration to try my Revell Dr1.I'll let you know how it works out. I think I have a set of 1/72nd scale PE Spandaus for it.

Thank you Kenneth

Glad you liked it. Thank you for watching and Subscribing

Thank you Chris I am glad you like my model of the legendary F4F Wildcat. I do not often make models in flight. But I could not pass the opportunity to use include stand. I was not aware there was a photo etch set for this kit. But good on you for finding one. Good luck with your build of this kit and thank you for watching.

Thank you, Matt glad you love it. This must have been a trip down memory lane for you. Would love to see you make a video on this kit. At least this time you will have Micro Sol or Micro Set to tackle those Academy Decals. Which have not changed in their “quality”

Thank you I am happy you loved the both the model and the video. I always try to add archival footage (if I can find the right footage) with the build footage of the model, in my videos. Thanks for watching

Thank you Konstantinos glad you loved it!

I am happy to hear that you enjoy my build videos and models. I do like to try and keep things nice and simple. Because trying to tackle all that aftermarket stuff in a model build, would terrify me if I made a mistake! Anyway, good luck with all your ongoing projects. And thanks for watching

Thank you I am glad you loved seeing my brief walkaround of a real F-86. Also good to hear that the way I applied the tulip decal, will help you with your build of this kit. Good luck with your build and thanks for watching.

Thank you I'm glad you liked it

Well done that sounds awesome. Loved the fact you recreated V8 53 in its wrecked state, on a small vignette. I might have to make a wrecked aircraft diorama one of these days…….

Thank you. I am sorry to hear you had a few issues with this kit. And were also a bit scared about tackling the camo scheme. But I am happy to hear that you were able to finish the model. After sitting on the shelf for a while. In fact, I have got a few ongoing projects that are sitting on my shelf. Which I need to finish one of these days. Anyway, you should be proud with yourself for completing your BF-109. Finding the motivation to complete a project is always a good thing. Good luck with all your ongoing projects. And thanks for watching.

thank you I'm glad you liked it

Thank you I am glad to hear that you are keen try this painting technique on a model BF-109 (or even a FW-190). My advice to test it on an old model (or piece of cardboard), until you feel comfortable to apply it on the models paint work.

The black primer fills any tiny cracks and gives the color layer better adherence to the plastic.

Well said @Chilly_Billy, that is exactly what primer can do. It also shows up if you have missed any gaps or putty. That needs to be sanded or refilled. Hope this helps you in your modelling.

@@ShuttleFactoryScaleModels thank you for explaining

Thank you Kenneth, glad you loved it.

Thank you Matt glad you love the look of the BF-109 in late war Hungarian markings. It was fun project to both research and make decals for. Hope this inspires you to make some more custom decals for your models

Thank You I am happy to hear you loved the look of the model. And enjoyed watching the video. As for how much I thin my paint. Its often about three drops of paint to a drop of thinner. In the video when I am doing the mottling, you can see I use a paint pallet and an eye dropper for this task. Not too thin like what I do in the mottling section. Just enough to get the paint flowing a bit easier. I also use soft synthetic hair paint brushes. Flat Heads for flat surfaces, with the strokes running from nose to tail, then wing root to wing tip. With the paint in two to three thin layers. I hope this is of some help to you.

Thank You I'm quite happy with the way it turned out.

Mere Kirihimete (Merry Chirstmas) from New Zealand , Kenneth. Hope you have a great Christmas & a Happy New Year too

Thank you, hope you have a great Chirstmas and a Happy New Year.

Thank you I am glad you liked it. Also, I am happy to hear you saw a CAC Sabre up close. Its always good news to hear that a historic aircraft like a Gloster Meteor is undergoing restoration to an airworthy state. And fear not you have not gone off topic by mentioning the Gloster Meteor. It’s kind of relevant to the topic at hand (in regards to the CAC Sabre). Do not forget that the Royal Australian Air Force flew the Gloster Meteor during the Korean War. Even though a few RAAF Meteors did shoot down a few MIG-15’s. The type was outclassed by the dreaded MIG-15. The RAAF requested to acquire the F-86 Sabre from North American, but there was such a high demand for the F-86. Both Canadair and the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation would acquire a license to build F-86 Sabre's, in both Australia & Canada. Long story short as soon as the CAC Sabre’s started arriving to RAAF squadrons from 1954 onwards. The RAAF retired its fleet of Gloster Meteors. Anyway, next time you are in Tauranga, you must go to the Classic Flyers Aviation Museum. Were you can sit in the cockpit of the F-86 as seen in the video. Also you can also go through the fuselages of a PBY Catalina & a B-17 replica. Thanks for watching

@@ShuttleFactoryScaleModels I dont remember if you could sit in the sabre last time. and sadly I could not sit in the sabre but I got to sit in the 2 seat spitfire, Mosquito no where as neat as the sabre

@@Rowan331 That is sad you did not get the chance to sit the F-86. However, sitting in the cockpit of a Spitfire Tr.9 & in a DH.98 Mosquito is still awesome experience to treasure. Hopefully the next time you see an F86 you get the chance to climb into the cockpit.

Thank you

You are welcome👍

Thank you Terry I'm glad you loved it. Thanks for watching too!

Thank you and your so right the F-86 is a real cold war era classic. Hope you have had the chance to sit in the cockpit of one.

Thank You so much. I tend to use a few drops of thinner via a disposable eye dropper/ pipette. Mixed into a small pool of paint with a paint brush on a paint pallet. Its often thinned where the paint is free- flowing than paint that has come out of the tube/pot. And I often apply my paint in a few coats with plenty of drying between each coat. I hope this is of some help for you. BTW Also as Sic-fi & Horror Movie geek. I love your profile pic too. Roddy Rowdy Piper from John Carpenter’s THEY LIVE. If I'm not mistaken. That reminds me I need to give that another rewatch one of these days.

You are correct. One of my favorites. Strong messages for an action film.

Thank you Kenneth, you so right Hobby Boss kits are fun to make. Thanks for watching

Thank you so much and Thanks for watching too!

Thank you so much. You are so right it is a bit of an oxymoron to have an eye-catching camo scheme. Then again it seems appropriate for the F-86 Sabres of Jagdgeschwader 71 "Richthofen" to have rather outrageous colours on their aircraft. Guess they wanted to keep up that old German tradition of painting crazy colours over a fighter aircraft’s camouflage pattern. Also, I am happy to hear other larger channels like Greg's Models. Are still painting the odd model with the mighty brush. Will have to check that video out. Thanks for watching!

Thank you I'm glad you liked it
