You're right. Somehow there's a secret war going to be the best between some channels. People talk so much about growing a community, then fight it if they get threatened 🙄😴 Thank you for watching us both :)
Nice little build and I like how you put in the effort to make improvements to the kit, you did however miss out a couple of obvious things on the aircraft, the pitot tube extending from the nose and the lamp directly below it which is always switched on when the Arrows fly their displays.
Thank you, and yes, this kit is very, very basic when it comes to the smaller details. It was a palette cleaner for me before a bigger build, so I didn't go all out on the scratch building.
Very nice! Ive not taken time to watch these in a few months, relaxing! It was fun to see how you did a gloss finish, but I laughed at "Oil leaks in the landing gear" Im guessing the red arrows dont have oil leaks :)
Thank you for joining me again and think that the videos are relaxing. A super gloss finish isn't my normal jam but it was quite fun on this little model to get me going again. You'd be surprised to see that even the reds have dirty planes. I found a few images that are in my reference bank on Pinterest that show a stained well bay area. pin.it/3hOzxfuc0 At 200ft and 400 knots the crowd don't pick it up, but when they're parked it's a different story. Thanks for watching :)
Looking forward to seeing more of your great work. I would love to see a pro like yourself build the 1/32 scale i have a couple well maybe 3 in the stash 😂
Thank you. I've got a 1/32 Bf109 on the channel which I enjoyed greatly. Have a HKM 1/32 Mosquito in the stash as well, thinking of making that in a series of videos focusing on more advanced techniques. Does that sound like content that you'd like? Thanks for watching :)
@TheInnerNerd yeah i watched your BF109 build. To be honest all your builds are great watches so most definitely Interested. I would be more than willing to donate a kit if interested just to see what you can do with it.
Thank you, and yes, this kit is very, very basic when it comes to the smaller details. It was a palette cleaner for me before a bigger build, so I didn't go all out on the scratch building.
What a wonderful build, one’s just gotta luv the Red Arrows! Now then: Is it a bit much to do all the extra work on a cheap kit? Or is it because it’s cheap that allows you to do it? Do you choose your paints because; They are exactly what you want? You have got used to them? Or you buy the cheapest/ best value paint you can? Great video, lovely style Bob England PS I had another set of questions but forgotten them so an edit may pop up?!
Hey Bob and thanks for watching. I do this amount of work on all my models, but if you want this to be a cheap and simple kit then that totally makes sense. You can make it how you want. I like to choose paints that I know I work well with. MRP and AKRC have always worked well for me and I like the accuracy of the MRP paints for colour. AKRC can be airbrushed or hand painted so that's thier advantage over the MRP. Hence both types of paint. Thanks again and if you've got more questions add another comment, I dooms get notified with edits, so I won't see it :) Matt, a brit abroad.
Matt, at last a YTer who uses a rotary tool! The first I've seen. You've taught me quite a lot here and given me a few ideas, such as your brass tube oleos which might solve one of my problems in a Westland Lynx doing deck landing trials diorama I'm getting info together for. Has your jet just been pushed back? Is the nose leg the right way round? (Sorry, my inner nerd showing).
I'll let them off since it's a starter kit and will never be the centerpiece amongst other models, but it's good fun. About 20 pieces in the box makes for a quick build. Thanks for watching:)
Thank you. Im trying but also setting up my workshop on betwen builds a little at a time. I'll get there one day and I'll be back to posting every other month or close enough. Thanks for watching :)
Am I the only one that's completely BUMMED OUT that AK decided to redo their entire Real Color range? I bought the AFV box set and was excited to get the AIR box set as well! But now that hope is gone forever....
I've seen that they've gone down the MRP style lines and gone for then new pre thinned bottles instead. I was building quite the collection but have recently gotten into MRP. I'll have to try the new AKRC sometime and see how they compare. Paint never stays the same for long and they're always changing the bottles or chemistry just as you get a collection started! Thanks for watching :)
That's correct. But in the end the model is finished, that's how time works :) You can see at the first presentation that the gear is rotated in the correct position. I've watched the video, I made it.
This totally defeats the whole purpose of building this kit......the idea is ts a STARTER kit and a starter is NOT going to have the skills or abilities you have to use after market parts and photo etch....also most starters won't have an airbrush.
I remember building a whole squadron of these when I lived in England in the 70's. my favorite plane design ever, thanks for this review.
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Glad to see you back. Looking forward to your next video!
Thank you and thanks for watching:)
Mate, glad to see you back! Your content has been sorely missed.
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Stronger and faster - that's what she said. Outstanding job with this old kit
All the time 😬🫣 Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Great edit on the inverted front landing gear
Realised as soon as I made the clip and changed it off camera. Nice easter egg for the viewers;) thank for watching:)
Awesome build, Matt. The shiny surface looks just perfect! Can't wait to see the Red Arrows again at RIAT25. Cheers and happy modelling!
Thank you and thanks for watching:)
Excellent. Good to have you back IN.
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Good to see you back! Sometimes you need a simple mojo build like this just for a bit of fun. Great build!
Thank you and yes its what I needed! Thanks for watching :)
Good to see different RUclips channels not having a subscriber battle but just being nice to each other❤

Great paint job, i made this one a few years back with my then 9 yr old granddaughter, it's a good one to start 'em on.
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Great model, it's been a while and it's great to see you back. Best wishes to you from NZ
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
There's a fun little model. Thanks, nice to have a video from you to watch tonight. :)
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Very nice! I always enjoy seeing the Red Arrows.
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
"Makes me bum twitch enough to make it exciting" anddd that's a subscribe right there
Oh yes it does ;) Thanks for the sub. More trouser department jokes incoming :)
Wow super shiny 😮

Looks cool.

I used the same kit in the airfix starter kit speed build last year with Little history, nice kit
It's pretty basic but good for a qpeed build and mojo kit in-between more serious models. Thanks for watching:)
I really need to get some polishing compound because gosh you got such a nice finish! 👌👌
It's really good. You can use car polish too if you're finding it hard to get hold of. Thanks for watching:)
Nice build. 👍

Great build with a limited kit, disappointing that the nose lamp and pitot tube are missing

Thank you. Glad the brass tube has helped you out also, best if luck with the Lynx. And no, it's on the right way around, look again ;)
@@TheInnerNerd Now that's sneaky. You turned it round? It certainly looks wrong time stamp 15:31 to 15:58 but alls well that ends well.
Just checking you watch the video closely 👀😄 I have to make one stupid mistake per video and in the one, I chose this 😇
Hey mate, could you make a video about Airfix swift kit ?
Hello. It's not a kit that's been on my radar, but I like the box art for sure now I've taken a look! Thanks for watching:)
Bra gjort!
Tack så jättemycket!
Great job. Remiss of Airfix to not have tailpipe and the under side smoke pod. It looks like they forgot all about the underside arrow decal
I'll let them off since it's a starter kit and will never be the centerpiece amongst other models, but it's good fun. About 20 pieces in the box makes for a quick build. Thanks for watching:)
Great build buddy any chance of being a little bit more prolific 👍
Thank you. Im trying but also setting up my workshop on betwen builds a little at a time. I'll get there one day and I'll be back to posting every other month or close enough. Thanks for watching :)
Can you do the academy B-29 “enola gay” please

Super glue will eventually make the clear plastic go opaque
I’ve never had it do that.
Oh, I've never experienced this and have been using my superglue for about 6 years now. Does it depend on the type maybe?. Thanks for watching :)

The nose wheel was in the wrong position
No it's not :) Thanks for watching
@@TheInnerNerd yes it was then you arranged it in the end. Watch the video
That's correct. But in the end the model is finished, that's how time works :) You can see at the first presentation that the gear is rotated in the correct position. I've watched the video, I made it.
@@TheInnerNerd Ignore 'em Rivet Counters mate. Splendid job given it is a starter kit. You built it ❤❤
Just a comment for the algorithm
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
GOOD modeling d(￣ ￣)
