Thank you for a great video. I am working on this model in a few days and this information will help. My father was a WWII B17 50 Cal. gunner with 52 missions in the B17.
Started watching to see if this build was worth getting. Thanks for the demonstration it had fantastic production quality and a very succinct video. Definitely going to get the build after I finish my Corsair model :)
How in the world did you do this in an hour. Good job and props to you (no pun intended lol)! I put one together and gave it to my wife’s grandfather who had to jump out of one. I have another to build for myself one day. If interested I have his B-17 story posted on my channel.
So many great tips in this video. I was literally stuck on piece #1, wasn't sure how to bend it right. Luckily I have the same mandrel set as yours. Problem solved! Thanks! This is a tough model. I have no idea why Fascinations says it is "Easy" difficulty on their website
I am currently doing the newer version of this same build and. It’s just not what I expected at all I’m being patient and taking my time but sooo many of the parts don’t fit very well and I’m using the same tools as you. Awesome video. I don’t know that I will do another one of these
Hi, this is by third model I tried and it wasn't easy. Just a beginner but learned alot doing this one . Lots of your tricks and tips sure helped for a beginner. For beginners don't try this one. Of course if you want go for it. Try afew easier ones Sfirst. TAKE YOUR TIME.
This one kind of fooled me. I didn't think it was going to be super easy, but I didn't expect it to be as challenging as it was. There are plenty of other started models, many of which are planes.
cool video, it helped me a lot during my build. Btw u forgot to put one tiny tiny cylinder on top of the nose in front of the cabin... I noticed that thing after I compared my build with the reference on their website :-)
jacqy eckenhausenkristel I had thought a little about it but not tried it. I have heard from others that soldiering does not work on these models and I can sort of see that being the case.
Want to make it look even better? The instructions don't tell you to but give each prop blade an identical little twist so it looks like it would push air rearward like a fan.
animateorange oh ok it's just I got it and the b 17 and one of the German planes from my uncle and it's my first time getting any or doing anything like it. I started the spitfire and I think I am getting the hang of it still on step 2. just couldn't find any videos on it to get a idea of how to do it
i'd like to try to build a metal model but from the two videos of yours i watched i'm going to need a lot of experience especially when rounding the metal. any suggestions on the first model to build?
I do have a playlist of beginner models: Metal Earth - Beginners list: ruclips.net/p/PLdXBkv4oG6JePGGe7BKsvH1WEn8EIMk9w Fascinations also rates their models. You can go to www.metalearth.com and look at easy models.
He uses either a sharpened dowel or a step thing that has different diameters along it. He also uses different beads, like marbles, the wooden ones you put on a necklace or bracelet etc. Hope this helpa
Lol, I was waiting for this to turn into some kind of 3D model snuff film where you eventually throw all the parts on the table and beat pieces mercilessly with a large hammer!
I really like your channel ..I got a few kits that I never made yet,I prefer plastic models..so the kits that I messed up on I use them in my model kits..I really wish they would make really large kits!!
I built plastic models years ago, back before resources like the internet. I bumbled though the best I could figure out. I wanted to start again and make that part of my channel but I really got hooked on the Metal Earth models. There have been two somewhat large models so far. One is the Eiffel Tower and the other is the Mega R2-D2. The Mega R2-D2 never officially went on sale and only dealers got it.
The only think I have right now are some Star Wars snap together models. I have four videos from 2014 on here. X-Wing, Millennium Falcon, and two Jedi starfighters. I somewhat recently built the Tie Fighter, but the camera was not pointed right, (I wasn't trying that hard) and it missed too much.
animateorange I have the 1\72 Fine Molds Falcon on my desk, but the price I payed I going to do it up. lights ,photoetched, and some printed parts.. it's just a waiting on money thing for me

i guess Im quite randomly asking but do anyone know a good site to stream new movies online?
@Isaac Kase try flixzone. You can find it on google =)
@Mekhi Danny Yup, I have been watching on flixzone for years myself =)
@Mekhi Danny thanks, I signed up and it seems to work :D I appreciate it !!
@Isaac Kase glad I could help :)

Glad you found the tips useful. Yeah, sometimes I don't agree with the difficulty rating either. Thanks for watching.
I bet ten to one it is their way of saying 'Easy to Screw Over'. ;)

Oh no... I got this one and 2 others for Christmas and it's the first time getting anything like it
Hello! I'm looking to buying one for myself but does the material go yellow or rusty overtime? I know this may sound dumb but..
Could I have the link for the tweezers that you are using?
What's a good starter model to try? I have the Messerschmitt but I'm kinda worried to start it since I've never tried making any models before
I have a playlist of easier starter models you can check out. Metal Earth - Beginners list: ruclips.net/p/PLdXBkv4oG6JePGGe7BKsvH1WEn8EIMk9w
Looking for some of the bigger metal earth models any u suggest
Anthony, are you familiar with the ICONX models?
cool video, it helped me a lot during my build. Btw u forgot to put one tiny tiny cylinder on top of the nose in front of the cabin... I noticed that thing after I compared my build with the reference on their website :-)
Ops... Thanks for letting me know about the missed part.
This was my first metal model build. All I had were tweezers. It looks like a B 17 made from scrap metal.
Ya gotta start somewhere.
What about this metal models: www.kickstarter.com/projects/timeformachine/the-most-beautiful-construction-set-in-the-world
Hi there, thx for great videos. Would you ever consider soldering the tabs after fastening just to make it look neater. Is it even possible?
jacqy eckenhausenkristel I had thought a little about it but not tried it. I have heard from others that soldiering does not work on these models and I can sort of see that being the case.
Awesome manual skills.
Want to make it look even better? The instructions don't tell you to but give each prop blade an identical little twist so it looks like it would push air rearward like a fan.
Good advice. I have gone back and done that with some if my planes.
do you have any videos of the spitfire plane
Ryley W not yet, unfortunately.
animateorange oh ok it's just I got it and the b 17 and one of the German planes from my uncle and it's my first time getting any or doing anything like it. I started the spitfire and I think I am getting the hang of it still on step 2. just couldn't find any videos on it to get a idea of how to do it
Ryley W I definitely want to build it. It's kind of a newer one and I just haven't gotten to it yet.

Hello, What is that tool you use to make it round? Where to buy it?
Thanks
He uses either a sharpened dowel or a step thing that has different diameters along it. He also uses different beads, like marbles, the wooden ones you put on a necklace or bracelet etc. Hope this helpa
where did u buy it???
I bought this at A.C. Moore. You can sometimes find them in hobby stores.

There was a guy that made a satire bit about bleeding a lot during a build.
@@animateorange Lol!
@@animateorange that would be funny!
Thx so much the the tool recommendations and especially the drill bit set😂😅
Trevor Perkins I hope it helps.
I lost my house in rhe care fire so i want to build something so ill get this and maybe a few other to kill time
@Maddox Easton bro it’s a 2year old comment and I have Netflix, Hulu, and Disney plus 😂
It looks like a bitch to install, TFM models aren’t cheap but they seem to be easier for a moderate builder.
Thanks for the video.

animateorange I still would love some of the kits you built in a let's say 1\25 scale that would look hot..
keep up the great work
