Good informative video mate, I watched the one you have on the canopy masking. Have you tried Paratape for the masing of canopies? Works very well.

Great job our lad. Great wash n paint work ye applied. And great tip on using flossing brushes for cleaning the airbrush.

Thanks for sharing the tools and tricks you use. Helps us all grow in our hobby. Looking forward to the video on your favorite paints, we can always count on your honest opinions. Have a good one !

Great video! Do you ever use sprue goo? I'm just getting back into it so i love these types of videos

Ive had a swan morton now since 1973 - and it's still going strong!!

Awesome information. I'll be keeping for future reference! Thanks for sharing.

Great videos as a newbie ive learnt a lot from ya ,i like the sticky pen thing ,grand idea 😊

Will be changing my current hobby knife to a Swan Morton now they certainly do look at lot better than most generic hobby knives. Great video on modelling tools 👍

Nice informative video

To apply primer or not. I’ve seen as many modeler videos who do prime as those who do not. Thoughts?

Interesting video but...what a faff! I put pilots in all my aircraft; realistically posed [leaning out of windows, pointing, working overhead panels etc]. I never airbrush pilots. I never use primer. I use just cheap acrylic paints from Hobbycraft. Very easy to bring out creases, shaded parts and detail by quickly adding black / white or whatever to base colour. Tamiya weathering powders used to further highlight if required. Realistic faces are the most difficult part - 1/72 scale very difficult to paint actual detail so it is tonal variations which are used to give the impression of eyes, cheekbones, mouth and areas such as shaded line on head just below helmet etc. Great addition is to add radio leads and also boom microphone from earpiece to mouth on non fast jet type of aircraft. Pilots are 'a must' for me to to give life to a model. It gives you the chance to really show your creative and modelling skills. Cutting off heads and arms and repositioning is standard fare on just about every kit supplied pilot I have had. A really good, well painted pilot, leaning forward in his seat or body turned and looking out sideways, with seat belts realistically tight or loose as appropriate becomes the focus of a model. However, done badly, it is the ruination of all your work.

To all fellow modelers i came up with a great idea concerning kids and people touching my set up i have an old fashion roll top desk 5ft long and all i do when the young one come around is close the lid and bingo it play time the desk has draws on each side and there's lots of room on desk for paint racks and supplies for modeling

Great video, thanks 4 sharing😊

I like it. I'm a returning modeler after a 50 year gap, so tips like these are gold dust to me. I've ordered a box of Blu Tack and a couple of those paint pens too. I've also invested in a small portable ventilated paint booth so no masks needed.

Your videos are great and have really inspired me to get into modelling. Could I ask what do you thin down the Windsor Newton varnish with for your airbrush application? Thanks and keep up the videos..

Really enjoyed that ,mr color varnish is that acrylic or polyurethane ? Im having to write things down (age thing lol)

Barnsley Lad ?

I don't like rigging it give me a he adache

Made my day mate no B,S mistake shown (glad I have never done that 😂😂 liar ! )Wonderful build looks fantastic subscribed

It was very sad how far Airfix were getting left behind. But Gosh. How they have come on now, they are up there with the new boys on the block

Very entertaining video. I last built a kit about 50 years ago. I still have a few, mainly Frog and Airfix with a couple of Matchbox kits. All are 1/72 and most have the price labels on them, 29p with one at 21p! I had a teacher at school in Leeds who gave us, "Is there any RED PORT wine LEFT" which gave us the correct colours and positions of the navigation lights. I think you may have got yours wrong. Keep up the good work. Nigel

1/72 is kids, not sure why Modolers with channels do them. No subscription-

Great job on the build. Thanks for all the information. 👍👍

🛩Cool

Thank you, another lovely build and video. Love the easy, honest commentary.

Love watching your videos pal. Nice to hear my fellow Yorkshire man after moving to Isle of Skye. Which part of yorkshire tha from

Excellent build. I’m build the same kit right now. This helped immensely. Thank you very much.

Nice build

Revell's skill level is based on the number of parts inside the kit, whereas Airfix's are actually worked out on some kind of reasoning based on how hard they actually think it is going to be to build, for example: 1/48 Bristol Bulldog, 120 Parts, Skill level 3 1/48 De Havilland Vampire F3, 124 Parts, Skill level 2 The Vamp has more parts but is an "easier" kit. If you dig into their kits and their labelled skill levels it will become more noticeable that there is not a consistent part number = skill level relationship. On another note, I think you did a great job of your Tempest! I have the post-war version in the stash to do at some point but will probably just do it in the silver scheme

Always a pleasure to watch your videos 😊 The freehand camouflage came out nice, Good Job !

Hi YMM - great wee kit and it’s turned really well for you, thanks for sharing - BTW we all make the odd mistake, cheers Liam.

There are 2 stand styles. The older stand style uses a slot while the newer one uses two pegs. Unfortunately they no longer sell the new stand style for some reason yet still design kits to ise them. They still sell the older stand style though for slots.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching you make this model thank you 😊

lovely little build Yorkie as always buddy , lovely to see ya back !!!!

Just built one last week, I still have my original from 1984, gotta love the matchbox/revell kits

I use my Air Brush for the large areas and shading work, for details I use a brush .

What are your deciding factors on which color primer (white, gray or black) to use? And why? I’m taking a break from the tedium of trying to build wood ship models and want to try a few plastic kits for more immediate gratification.

Great job, I have the same Airfix kit.

Enamels ( no brand, the ones you can buy at the paint shop) and brushes. It's 90% skills, 10% gear. I 've seen people using oils with a very nice outcome. For me, a well done weathering it really makes the difference.

Good video, I like the fact that you don't just focus on model kits but incorporate hardware as well.

Hi ,can you tell me how to make this panel wash please ,I'm new to model making so I need all the help I can get 😊

I`m a Badger airbrush user since the beginning of time using enamals. I bought two Fengda 183 and a Fengda 180 0.2 and 116C (trigger gun 0.3) primarily to learn how to strip down airbrushes whilst learning how to use modern acrylics. They all work much, much better if you polish the needles , Regdab the moving parts and use PTFE tape ( or beeswax) on the front end threads to stop the air leaks and to avoid overtightening which will wreck the soft brass threads over time. The rubber seals won`t tolerate solvents for long hence replacing them with the tape ( I`ve even taped the tiny needle nozzle). Replacement seals can be bought from Bartsharpe ( for the 183,116 & 180). I still have mine but have moved on to Gaahleri products. Interestingly the fengda trigger leaver and spring housing parts can be used on Gaahleri 39 and 98 airbrushes and are better quality. The paint cups are also interchangeable.. Cheers for the reviews ...have subscribed for more..

Good reviews,but how do you tell the diiferent needle sizes apart when they are out of their containers?.

I haven't looked back from Gaahleri since your review but that Fengda airbrush seems OK for general use. That compressor though, sounds like you're digging up Stairfoot roundabout. 😊

Bloody hell I've a pneumatic drill quieter than that .

I have the FD-186 and it works just fine for my needs. It was interesting to hear your thoughts about this new version.

would like to point out before i get told about it 😁 that at the end when talking about the compressor i keep saying airbrush (getting old moment lol)

Anyone a link for the varnish at the end

Nice job. It remember me when model built was pure fun without complications.

Notes that “list” supplies used would be handy. Thanks.
