Alex,superb job all around. The paint and decals were some of your best work. You said something in your video about your English, brother I was born in the United States and lived here most of my life and I can tell you,your command of the English language is far superior than a lot of people born and raised in the United states and that's the truth. Again I enjoyed the video, stay well and safe my friend. My best to your family as well.🇵🇹🇺🇸👌👍
It’s 50 years since I made a model Aircraft. Watching your videos makes me want to start again. Plus all the new great gear! Please keep up this fantastic work. Your authenticity is inspiring!
Hi Alex. I watch and enjoy your videos all the time....your models look great! I just saw that you are a Police Officer in Portugal. I have been on in California for 35 yrs and am retiring in June. Also, I am half Portuguese and still have relatives in the Azores. Keep up the good work and keep your head down! Chris Vlamis
Hi. I'm a new subscriber to your channel. Wow, your movies are so easy to watch. I'm a quite new model builder and I have already learnt so much from these. Thank you so much for your channel.
Still no luck finding myself a SR-71 Black Bird I wish to find one soon, I enjoy watching your videos my brother, they are so informative and intriguing always with a smile stay safe from the Covid 19 and keep building
Excelente trabalho, como sempre. Eu apenas faço 2.ª Guerra Mundial à escala 1/48. Duas sugestões quanto à cola e betume (gosto dos termos portugueses). Há muitos anos atrás havia nas drogarias um líquido chamado xilol que utilizávamos como cola para plástico. Há uns meses atrás encontrei xilol num site que indico abaixo. É uma poupança "descomunal". O litro de xilol não ultrapassa os 7,00€. Já tenho cola para muito, muito tempo. Quanto ao betume, eu tenho uma receita que funciona, mas é preciso dias de "cura". Mistura-se xilol com bocados finos de plástico ou plástico em pó resultante do desbaste de peças de plástico, até consegui uma pasta com pouca fluidez. Depois do plástico completamente "derretido" utiliza-se com qualquer betume mas como disse, tem um inconveniente para quem tem pressa, demora dias até ficar completamente sólido. Lixa-se e eu costumo depois de aplicar Mr Surfacer 500 e volto a lixar. Fica impecável. Concluí um I-16 da Eduard, estou a acabar um Dewoitine D.520 da Tamiya, estão em fase de montagem MC.205 Veltro da Hasegawa, Me.163 Komet da DML/Dragon (o Schleuch-Schlepper da CMK está concluído), V2 da Mauve e o trator Hanomag SS100, e de raiz estou a fazer o transportador (Meillerwagon) da V2 baseado no Meillervagon da Takom à escala 1/72 (basta multiplicar por 1,5 as dimensões à escala 1/72). Um abraço. www.restaurarconservar.com/Xileno-Xilol
Pergunte nas drogarias por xileno. Se não é o mesmo produto [xilol] mas com outro nome, anda lá muito perto. É o que eu tenho usado. Bons kits. Abraço.
Great work!!! Love your builds, have a nice day and stay safe :) and, by the way, i'm using my nose to unblock the phone when wearing gloves, so try it next time :)))))))
About the only thing I did different was add weight to the nose and of course just the US decals. I wasn't sure if it was going to be a tail sitter. Lovely build.
Oi, Alex, é sempre um prazer ver os seus vídeos, aqui da parte desta sénior modeller. Acho é que a FAP, não devia andar a fazer provas de TT na lama, com um "veículo " tão caro.!!! kkkkkk Não leve a mal.!! Um abraço!!
Mais um ótimo filme que vou guardar! ( Algum dia o Alex ainda há de vender os filmes das suas construções a quem quiser ficar para sempre documentado com os mesmos. Estes do RUclips, ou outros... ) Para iniciados e ''azelhómetros'' como eu, teria interesse, acho!! Ora o F-16 de Portugal foi obviamente uma excelente ideia!!! Algum dia ainda irá construir alguma versão de Israel pelas particularidades dessas versões que somente eles têm... Obrigado Alex pelo muito que nos dá e ensina!!!
Well alex... you did it again. You sir never fail to impress me. Absolute beauty of a build. Thank you for keeping us entertained during this hard time. Stay safe alex 🤘🏾
Oh well done Alex🎉good job. It is interesting to see the beautiful colour schemes of aircraft. I'm building the Belgium airforce 50 year anniversary F16 with a spitfire painted on its back. In 1/72 scale.
Out of all the 1/48 F-16's, Tamiya's is the best, then Hasegawa's, Italeri's is one of the oldest kits out there and show's its age compared to the Tamigawa's kits. At least Hasegawa keeps updating their kits with a new sprue of parts, Italeri really hasn't done any updates to theirs except for the decal options, Kinetics kits are closely to those of Tamiya's but they have their own style but if you take your time they too are very nice kits, again Italeri's are more of a weekender kit then compared to the others.
Só um pequeno detalhe, acho que há lavagens a mais. Já reparei que há um grupo de pessoal que gosta de ver um avião "bem sujo". Se reparar na foto do "Falcão" real não nota tanto "grime". Não sou nenhum expert e já há alguns anos que não "toco na chicha".... e só brinquei com um aerógrafo (de acção simples, a massa era curta) nos 4 últimos modelos que conclui, Me-262, FW-190, Me-109 G e He-219, tudo a 1/48. Continue com bons modelos, sou consumidor ávido, desde o Vietname. Bem haja !
Pedro Santos : Você quer dizer "sujidade" a mais.!! Comecei a fazer kits em 1956, e conservo TODOS até hoje.!! CONCORDO ABSOLUTAMENTE consigo, também fui aviador professional durante 42 anos, e, na realidade, NUNCA vi os A/C tão sujos.!! Eles SÃO LAVADOS, tal como ( a maioria), dos nossos carros. É por isso, que eu também acho, que a malta EXAJERA na "sujidade" nos modelos. Nem nas guerras de África, nunca os vi assim tão sujos.!! Até, que isso seria prejudicial, e mesmo PERIGOSO, para o desempenho dos A/C... ( Desculpem-me, mas RECUSO-ME a chamar "pirosamente", "Aeronaves" aos AVIÕES.!!!!
She's a masterpiece! A thought just ran through my head. What if the image was reversed and you could build a model of the the Sabre with the same F-16 on top of the sabre! That would make a great pair!
What do you think of Italeris kits Alex? I have two of them: 1:48, F-22 and F-35. I'm worried they're going to be a ball ache to build. I've also got some Hasegawa models (Spitfire and Lancaster) they seem to be excellent, are they as good as Tamiya kits?
Not Alex but the three companies follow different paths. Italeri produce a very wide range of basic kits with good markings options and models that Tamiya would not produce. The fit and shape can sometimes be awkward but they're ok. Tamiya continuously look for advanced engineering solutions and ways to make their kits more accurate and more complex without being harder to build. Hasegawa are halfway between focusing on accurate shape and size with simple construction and none of the bells and whistles of Tamiya. Sometimes they throw in photo-etch and resin but it's a special when they do.

Nice build.. I build this kit. Too. Honestly I don't like the italeri box but if you say so a little bit of work
So good! That's just what I was going for.
Great process. You did very total in every details.
Amazing! You’ve inspired me to pull out a plane model that’s been in my garage forever un-made.
So happy for you that you got that hard drive recovered. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃

I have the Bartsharp 133, 180 and 186, im sponsored by Bartsharp got it throught them
Great looking kit Alex 👍
Does this kit have also the Dutch decals
Be safe
She's a masterpiece! A thought just ran through my head. What if the image was reversed and you could build a model of the the Sabre with the same F-16 on top of the sabre! That would make a great pair!

This 10 seconds cement is somethink like tamiya extra thin. Btw nice build :-)

Which brand of paint did you use? they seem awesome
I use Mission Models Paints! Thank you!
Sir hi, as usual a well built model, which oil wash did you use ?
Flory models dirt wash
Existe algum kit ou decais do F-84 da Força Aérea Portuguesa?
What do you think of Italeris kits Alex? I have two of them: 1:48, F-22 and F-35. I'm worried they're going to be a ball ache to build. I've also got some Hasegawa models (Spitfire and Lancaster) they seem to be excellent, are they as good as Tamiya kits?

What type of painting oil you used on your details? Please
Artist oils. Any good quality brand will do 👍
what is wrong with kinetic if i may ask? im building their f104g and its a pretty good kit imho
Several modelers told me it was Over engeneered (nothing wrong with that) and some pieces didn t fit . But i never had one.
AlexModeling you should really try the f104g, it fits very very good and is imho a pretty easy kit actually
Thank you! Have fun!
