Видео

Glad you enjoyed the vid! I’ve a few more that might be helpful with returning to the hobby. My videos seem to be on the upturn which is great seeing as I’ve been so lazy not making a new ones 😀 - happy modelling 👍

Keep an eye out for the Airfix Tigers.. they are a good deal sometimes 😀👍

If I remember rightly the side shell loading hatch opens and you can see in!! The model is stored away so I can’t remember if I allowed the commanders hatch to open as well.

Glad you enjoyed the video! I just got busy and there was less time for the hobby and making the videos. It was a massive effort making all the graphics, music and building the kit whist recording it… I’m still impressed at how much I got done back then 🤪. Maybe I’ll get a chance to build again but for now I just dabble at many unfinished kits, ha ha Hope you enjoy the hobby again 😀👍

Ha ha, yes I need to remember that for the next time 😀👍 Glad you enjoyed the video

I should try them sometime.. it was really a test to see if I could even paint with this type of tube paint.. I’ve wanted to do another video with standard hobby paints! Just not had much time recently.

Thanks. I researched as much as I could on the colours. Some said this and others said that and in the end if I remember rightly I thought I’ll just go as close as I can to the photo! I know that’s probably throwing in a whole heap of variables in terms of bleach and tones changing but it looked so cool. I think my Fulmar video is probably closer to the real colours as it finished up being darker. Cheers 😀👍

@@modkitmayhem There is some confusion especially regarding the earlier aircraft delivered to the RN from US factories and the Seafire II some of which were delivered in RAF schemes. The fading on Indian Ocean and Pacific aircraft would also have been considerable, it’s often difficult to even determine the demarcation of the two colours on B & W schemes. I’m returning to brush painting as I’m so sick of cleaning airbrushes!

Photographs

@antonyhughes4702 That’s what I found tricky. The confusion seemed considerable and I almost gave up doing the video. I totally understand the airbrush cleaning.. it’s a pain! There seems to be a lot of brush painters who have said the same on my other videos! I’ve had to stop building altogether as I don’t have any time at the moment, hence the break in uploads. Maybe I’ll get back to it at sometime. Cheers for the comments 😀👍

Thanks

Thanks - Greetings from Wales

Thanks. I really enjoy playing around with Apple Garage band but nothing beyond basics! I’m glad you liked the music! I only did the tracks for my videos.. no other channels I’m afraid.

Ha ha 👍😀

Thank you for watching the Series 😀👍

Cheers, glad you liked them! I was quite surprised how good this techniques worked 😀😂

@@modkitmayhem awesome stuff 😎

Halfords grey.. so far it’s the best of all the different undercoats I’ve tried 😀👍

@@modkitmayhem Is there any other different paint? I can't find that brand.

Citadel (Games Workshop) undercoat was fairly good back in the day! Can you get that?

@@modkitmayhem yes in Indonesia 🇮🇩 they sell it and thanks for your guide.

Yep no crew ! I think it would probably be best to get an upgrade on the whole cockpit area.. it’s very basic (seats are way over scale if I remember rightly) otherwise see if someone has a spare set of crew from another helicopter kit and save the money! I reckon a Hasegawa kit would be probably more detailed in the crew area and worth spending the extra on if you love this copter 😀👍 cheers

Great you are back in the hobby 😀👍 - I think I was same age (12-13) last time I actually finished a kit ha ha There’s so much that’s been improved but you can still keep it simple with good old Enamels. To be honest it can make you dizzy with all the new techniques and products to finish a kit.. I guess a good thing is to try what you can and see what you enjoy. I’ve done a Apache but in Acrylic’s.. although there’s not a lot of difference if you thin the Enamels enough. Triple check the canopy fit.. it was tricky on my kit!!! Thanks for commenting and I’m glad you are enjoying the videos.. hope they help on future projects! Cheers 😀👍

I’m starting a Sherman next.. I’ll have to re-watch my video as it’s been that long since I used pigments 😂 Glad you enjoyed the video! Cheers man

@@modkitmayhem I am doing some 40k tanks, Castigators... but I am also going to be starting a 1/48th Corsair and kitbash it into a Kroot sci-fi prop fighter for 40k too. That'll be my first steps into scale modelling... Though Ihave an old F-14 Jolly Rogers special kit from Tamiya in my closet too haha, big one I got for birthday. I should try it out first.

Thanks, I’ve been trying to improve my acrylic skills recently! Enamels are, I think like most modellers where most of us started! I’m using Vallejo Air only to brush-paint a P47 at the moment.. it’s a challenge because it’s very thin. A good challenge. I’ll try a combo of Enamels and Acrylic’s at some point! I like the idea of that. Happy modelling friend 👍😀

Definitely worth the money 😂

Thanks again Jose! Check out my Tiger tank videos and see what you think of them 😀👍

Thanks Jose 😀👍

Thanks, I wanted to show you don’t need an airbrush to get results! The Hellcat turned out better than I expected. 😀👍

@@modkitmayhem yeah, you did a great job showing that good results can also be achieved with hand painting 💪

Thanks Tom… hopefully I can get back to the model desk at some point 😀👍

How did you get on? I can’t exactly remember my reason for going with Enamels.. but it has lasted since I did this video 😀👍

@@modkitmayhem Well that's good news...I put a base coat humbrol enamel yesterday so maybe a couple days and I'll attack it with some acrylics...My humbrols, like yours are a decade old....need some reviving...This is my second tank (Matilda Tamiya 1/35), I put a vid on my channel of my first tank (chieftan)...I'd be interested to know what you think...Tamiya Matilda desert came with some crew so busy painting sunburn on them at mo...Chieftan came with 3 crew with the same faces so they look a bit like triplets riding the tank...so I gave one a beard and another a moustache....lol...Thanks for reply

Good stuff.. another hand painter!! I’d heard yellow was a bit of an odd paint, in that it doesn’t keep as long as others.

Ha ha, I guess it could be! It worked out well using the artist paints! Thanks for watching, much appreciated! Cheers

Hey Tom, great kit to build! Very satisfying as you can see so much of the interior detail. I’ve the 88 version to build next 😀👍

It’s quite surprising how many different types/thickness you can get with different brands. Definitely worth keeping a few for projects. 😀👍

It was not bad considering the cost. Definitely one for the collection 😀👍

Thanks Rod 😀👍

Cheers, glad you liked the vid 😀👍

Thanks 😀👍

Go get those mini camo branches 😀👍

@@modkitmayhem quick question tho could i spray clear coat lacquer of the little twigs i wanted to keep it the realistic and use the model farm grass thats a bit like moss

I was there in July, man it was hot!! Yes a plaster or grout mix would probably be safer than icing sugar ha ha Isopropyl would be worth a try for sure! Probably would bead less.. I’ll give it a go next time. Cheers

Top stuff, Sherman will be a great kit to try some techniques on. I was the opposite and only did armour although I started with aircraft initially.. doing this RUclips channel made me start looking at other types of kits and that's been great! Let us know how you get on! I'm on instagram, connect there if you can. Cheers for all the comments, its great to get :)

Thanks man, You are the first to say you've watched the whole six video's and I appreciate that! I worked hard on these and when they didn't do as well it was a bit depressing! I wanted the project to be a story (and I'm glad you said that) and most of all get people to realise not all projects go perfectly.. and that's ok!! I learned tons from doing it.

@@modkitmayhem Yep...Spend many hours editing and such and no views...It's a hard road...(and I know how many hours it takes editing)...but you just got to make 'em and chuck 'em out there and see what gives really...I've done the same with some WW2 flight sim vids when I thought they were great...and no views...but I'm not trying to make a channel really...just for fun...I get the frustration...not appreciated...but some of us appreciate them

I think the six parts put most people off ha ha.. I think that's the most important thing at the end of the day, try to keep it fun!

Thanks Lewis.. I think I bought a bag of empty paint bottles before I did my last spray video! Its been so long I've forgotten what stuff I've packed away! I'll have to have a look later today haha. Thanks for the idea though I'm sure there will be someone on here who will find that handy!

Such a good smell and very relaxing once you remember how slow they dry ha ha.. I do use tweezers when I remember! Mostly on PE and really tricky details! I find while filming these vids I usually forget!! Hope you enjoyed the vid.

Cheers, B17F next 😀👍

I’m thinking of doing my next build/video with Enamels again. Seems like it’s still a popular subject and there are still a fair few people using them. I did enjoy painting with them again I must say 😀👍

Oh I forgot to say not Mr Color levelling thinners. I mean `real` lacquer thinners ,it works beautiful especially with the matt colours and then u have a choice of any primer colour! oh yeah it sticks, try it 50 /50, it bonds to the plastic not like this water based crap U need a mask and ventilation though

I may have to clear the shed before I really try that ha ha

If I remember rightly A and B are Brown/Green. B scheme is inverted so all the the green areas are painted brown and all the brown areas green! The camo pattern is pretty much the same. Not sure if C is grey! I’m sure a Spitfire expert on here will know! There’s a good section on this in Robert Humphrey’s The Supermarine Spitfire (Part 1) Book.

@@modkitmayhem Thankyou I’ll take a look :)

Gracias 👍😀

Thanks, it was a good fun experiment! I think in the end sawdust and broken down chipboard worked the best for me. Maybe I’ll try old coffee and even hot chocolate powder next - thanks for watching 😀👍

Thanks 👍

Thanks Petr. I must admit they were more fun to go back to than I expected. I’ll be painting a C47 in them next. I may give Tamiya a go for the F14s after that.. it’s supposed to be easier for learning to spray! Hope the Fulmar is going well 😀👍

You are right... I should have done it all rusty and burnt with no Turret!

I found lots of people appreciate videos that are brush painting ones. I'm getting back into the hobby so using a brush seemed like a good place to start until I mastered the airbrush. Glad you liked it, check out my Hellcat vid its got a good technique for pre-shading you might like! Cheers

Thanks, always good to help out with as much info as possible.
