WARM SOAPY WATER WITH A SPLASH OF VINEGAR. The legend is back
This video was sponsored by Sarson's Vinegar
@@quickkits WARM SOAPY WATER WITH A SPLASH OF VINEGAR. (lol) will this be your catchphrase? as with Duncan (from GW) 'Two Thin Coats'
@@russellguyver7746 Y'know Duncan has his own YT channel now? And doesn't use GW paints exclusively anymore?
Great to see you back Owen! Next project gonna be the HKM Lanc? :p
In all seriousness, I'd be interested to see your take on jet fighters
hahahahahaha
When you forgot the propeller, I felt that.
I recently made my first and realized when looking at the finished engine/propeller that I could have made it spin
This reminds me of a story. When I was in university, my senior year, I did an internship in London. This was the summer of 2007. Now I worked most weekdays, but my Saturdays and Sundays were mine to do as I pleased. Being the Aviation buff I was, I had to visit the RAF Museum in Hendon. Well, I visited the weekend the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight was doing the flypast for the Falklands War anniversary. As I was coming out of the tube station and walking to the museum, I joined an old man who was a World War II veteran who was an engineer on Halifax bombers. we had a wonderful conversation on the way to the museum. When we got there, he pointed out the Hurricane and Spitfire on display. He pointed them pout and told me, "Now young man, I want you to always remember this: The Hurricane did all the real work, while the Spitfire got all the glory. He also had a great story about when a USAAF B-17 wing had to make a mass emergency landing at his base. He remarked that "We all thought there was going to be a bang, but they all came in safe and sound." His most vivid memory of the whole affair were the bomber crews coming out of their aircraft and passing out from exhaustion under the wings.
Managed to get a photo of one of the last airworthy Avro Lancasters in flight that day. That day was really something special.
That's such a nice story! Thanks for sharing :)
What a great memory!
@@fubuki.pershinge1 There's no doubt the Spitfire has always been the "glamour model" of aviation, whilst the Hurricane has been the nice-but-plain "girl next door". 😄
@@fubuki.pershinge1 yeah but people often think that the spitfire did it all when actually it was mostly hurricanes doing the hard work
The one dislike was because of the historic accuracy
@Agar Edward omg it's you again
Don't worry, you're not the only one who likes raised details :D Especially when there's alot of it, for example the rivets.
But what about PANEL LINES AAAAAAAA
I like rivets as well when they're raised. because that's how rivets look. I'm about to finish an antique Airfix and a Valom Hampden and the Airfix model feels way more real than the Valom version. Raised panel lines is a bridge too far, I think. You are getting better every vid, young man ! Good job !
Owen and leafy have returned, maybe 2020 isnt so bad
Has leafy got a chin now?
Vasili Na it's still in hiding
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😷
Rip spinney propeller
1970-2020
He will be missed greatly by all

I absolutely love simple old kits, even if they do need some work to get them fitting nicely. I'll take that kit over some horrendously over-engineered modern kit with hundreds of tiny pointless parts, that costs three times as much, any day of the week. The rivet counters can whine and moan all they want. Great job, mate.
Yeah I think there's a lot of fun to be had in building simple old kits like this. Sometimes they're a disaster (looking at you old tooled Airfix Ju88) but somehow that makes them even more fun to look back on. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video man :)
@@quickkits I agree the ju88 the fitting was bad and lots of flash and keep the good work I enjoy also your tips are great have helped me become a better modeler I have been watching your video's for a long time
Bugger, the old Ju88 is my next project. At least I'm using it mainly as a learning experience for airbrushing...
Sometimes less is more. I loved the old 1/72 kits.
Enjoy the video while we can boys, it’s going to be a long time until his next video
Why?
When I was a kid (over 50 years ago!), to get hold of an Airfix kit was an absolute joy. They usually came in small polythene bags and each model had a clear plastic stand like the one in the video. They were about pocket money price, something like 2 shillings I believe, although I could rarely afford one. You would always use far more glue than you would need and it would splurge everywhere! The paint jobs were usually not a lot better either! When finished, you would stick them in a box or hang from the ceiling or, like some of my friends would do, set fire to them and throw them out the window kamikaze style!
My mate and I sent our airfix allied floatplanes off on a Bigglesesque adventure in the 'Pacific', landing in a jungle lake (his swimming pool). Unfortunately, Zeroes attacked (rocks) and the floatplanes were not recovered before the next summer...
Mike Good God! You remind me a lot of me. 👍🏻
I'm glad you didn't quit youtube because you were the one who got me into the hobby
The model looks good
Cheers dude I'm pleased you think so! 😎
Quick Kits And cheers to you and keep on making your legendary models
@@quickkits Why don't you build a revell kit or a boat like the Titanic and if you do don't give me a shout-out
Hurricane turned out great
14:42 me too, just finished Heller Fw190 ;-) Lovely result Owen 👌
Thank you :) Just checked out your FW190 and it looks stunning!!! 😍
This made 2020, the greatest of all time is back!
A nice little tribute to a great British warplane
I closed my eyes and imagined Brian Cox building this 👌
*"oMG oWen uSed dEcals foR thE wrOng VersiOn! HERESY!"*
I am glad you are back! :D
Hahahaha! Cheers dude
Even if they were for the right version not like this Vintage Air fix is a Tamia or eduard
The classic Airfix stand. Much missed!
Kevin Elliott Couldn’t agree more. Was the manufacturer penny pinching? When trying to attract the next generation into modelling, the stand allowed a simpler version of the model to be made. Penny wise, pound foolish.
@@valaudae1809 Sign of the times, i think. Say 2/3rds build gear down, that means a lot of plastic you've sourced & paid for as manufacturer gets tossed and that is money the company can use elsewhere.
Airfix did/does sell the stands separately btw, so not all is lost.
@@whtalt92 when they are finally in stock! everyone including airfix seem to be sold out :(
Keep it up, missed these videos
Dont worry about the state of the model, I always say you paint to a standard your happy with
Cheers dude, I appreciate that :)
Those transparent stands used to be standard on Airfix aircraft kits
I wish they still were 😭😭
But the standard thing to DO with them was to chuck them away and hang the planes from your bedroom ceiling instead! Many happy hours spent making Airfix kits back in the 70's.
@@mercut1o I always made my kits with the undercarriage down, so never used the stands.
I had loads of them in different sizes. If I had kept them I, I could make a fortune selling them on eBay! 😄
@@MacMcCaskill you would have made a fair bit of money, for some reason they are scarce at the moment, even airfix have run out!
lost interest in aircraft models, gained interest in tank models.
hopefully this will bring me back
I built a similar Airfix kit back in the late 70s. I remember getting a Hurricane and an Me 163 Komet kit the same day. My camo pattern on the Hurry was very similar . You did a beautiful job.
Old kits are fun, I just finished an old airfix TBD Devastator
Very clever using the cloth to stop seeing through the cockpit and wheel well. I also like using the clay to hold the small parts.
Thank you very much!
“I’ve had a haircut” dude no need to flex on us
Thx for the video I just bought my furst model it’s a m4 Sherman thx for inspiring me and getting me in the hobby love the content keep up the work
For an experiment it turned out very well!
I spent the last 3 days waiting for this video. The model is looking really good.
Can't wait to see more.
Evan Zhang same
Aw thank you so much dude! I'm really pleased you liked it!
Quick Kits my pleasure!
Finally modeling video with a meme song
For older decals. Especially those that have yellowed a bit. I spray on Testors decal bonder. I print out a lot of my own decals so I have it in my collection. For example. I recently built a Monogram B 24 1/48th Scale plane I recieved as a gift almost 15 years ago. The decals have yellowed and looked pretty bad. I sprayed on the decal bonder and the decals came out near perfect.
Do you spray the decal bonder onto them while they're still on the transfer paper? That's a really interesting tip!
@@quickkits Yes I do. When the decals get too old as you know they will sometimes come apart when you try to put them on the model. The decal bonder will insure they do not split. When I print out the decals that I have made. For example. I make a name to put on an airplane. I will let the ink dry for a few minutes and then apply the decal bonder and let it drive for about 24 hours. After that I can apply the decals. There are times I wish I could make some movies of how I make models. I don't always go with the decals provided. That is why I make my own.
@@andrewluchsinger as alternative, there's microscale decal film. May be easier to get (seeing Testor's owner company's antics).
My very first model kit! Built this when I was eight years old 42 years ago. Of course it didn't look like this! Bought the newest one four years ago to do it better this time.
This is what my life has been missing... welcome back!
the man, the myth, the legend is back!
Hahaha ye boiii
Even when it's an old and bad kit, he still makes it good. Really good video!
Thank you so much man!
This video is better than most Hataka paint reviews I’ve been trying to find a good review lol, and this video is just a model kit review
Good to see you back lad, nice build, when I saw the Model Air and Hataka paint I thought you had treated yourself to an Airbrush!!!!
Just started the 75th d-day air assault your tips have helped SO much.thanks!
I died laughing on the propeller moment
xD
The video is good as always :D
Hahaha hell yeah I'm glad! Big thanks to Lily for editing that!
You did a great job with that kit. There's something about the old kits♥️
Thank you! And yeah there really is 😍
I've just watched this again after a year away from modelling because my first attempts were so poor it put me off, but I may have another go , you inspire me when I watch and you have a nice easy going friendliness , thankyou 👌👍
Chin up, dude. Same here, I'm 61, and getting back into it after nearly 40 years away.
Glue fingerprint marks and seams everywhere, lol. And misalignment of halves. :-)
Even though it’s an old kit he still make it looks great with. Also RIP spiny propeller 😢
Haha! And thanks dude that means a lot!
Welcome to the charm of Airfix kits as they used to be! A bit heavy handed with the fine detail, but great fun, especially for the younger/newer modeller, but not having the tyranny of super-detailing.
Great to hear / see something from you again... stay safe and continue to have fun...
The floor polish works good on car models. Brush on finished model it gives a nice shine and makes glass clearer.
Thanks for the tip! :)
John Manley Is it similar to Kleer? A sadly missed, very useful substance.
Nice to see you back, your channel was the first I found and inspired me to get back to my old hobby. Thanks Chris
Aw that's great to hear and means a lot! Thanks Chris I'm pleased you e enjoyed the videos 😎
Nice bit of nostalgia. I remember this kit from when I was a kid in the 60s.
I still like the original Airfix kits and some of the best models produced by manufacturers in that period had raised panel lines and rivets. This was a helpful review of the paints and you gave a lot of good information on using them. Thanks for making this and the model look fantastic!
Thanks John, it means a lot! I'm pleased you liked the paints review :)
How can anyone dislike this video? Awesome build and paint brush skills.
Thank you man I'm pleased you liked it :D
Amazing kit! I am considering buying this again for myself.
10:15 What a CHAD!
HE'S BACK.......The long awaited return had finally come. The people cheer for the glory of King Quick Kits
Great video - i always look forward to new videos from you. I love that you are honest about your builds and show us your mistakes
Thanks I'm pleased you liked it! And I'm pleased you appreciate me leaving the mistakes in - mistakes are the best way to learn and maybe if I make them first other people won't haha!
Hi Owen! First things first, I love the channel. I've been a modeler for around 20 years now and I love how effectively you demonstrate how accessible this hobby can be. It takes real skill to produce good results with the bare basics and stuff almost anyone can afford. I'd like to get back into brush-painting and those Hataka Blue Line paints look incredible and they have a very comprehensive range of military colours. Best of all, you applied them without primer! If I could ask you a few questions about them:
- What, other than their proprietary thinner would you thin this paint with?
- Likewise, what would you use as a cheap brush cleaner?
- Have you tested out any other colors of theirs? If so, how brush friendly were they? (esp yellows, reds, or whites, the shades that tend to not cover as easily)
I'm very happy to see you continued the brush painted model making
Thank you, and stay at home
I'm pleased you enjoyed the video dude, you stay safe too! :)
This man deserves more fame
That’s great. Good to see you back.
I had built a heller BF109 from the 1970s aswell, and I couldnt believe most of the decals didnt disintegrate when I added them. Really good kit, totally would recommend it.
Always good to watch talented modelers build for inspiration 👍
What an engaging manner you have, an obvious, whimsical love of the hobby. Great results to, and some innovative techniques. Thanks.
People don’t get liked for this but your are really good
I very much enjoy this new more casual more comedic video style. Can’t wait for more videos!
I'm really pleased to hear you like the new style! I'm much happier with it myself :)
Great to see you back Owen.!
Thanks great knowledge and communication
Fantastic to see you back and nice job. Between you and Model meltdown, you are the reason I'm back in modeling after 30 odd years. You look like you're enjoying yourself, keep it up
This video gives me more confident in painting with brushes, thanks and also great build!
That's fantastic to hear! I'm pleased that you're taking that away from it :) Best of luck and keep having fun :D
here again. our modelling maniac
You are the best modeler out thar you wer the man that got me in to modeling thanks again for the good content 😊
Looks great!
Thank you! :D
Expert like you making mistakes in the models make me feel better. When I'm done a model i have 17 extra parts . Every model I have built has at least 5 things wrong. I call them my signature touch.
Good build, interesting to see the paint test. Its always nice to see an old kit done well.
Thank you sir that means a lot coming from you!
Awesome build! Nice to see you’re happy with it too. I personally don’t care too much about realism or historical accuracy. Modelling is all about the fun of making and painting something and then enjoying the results, however they are (not that you did a bad job with your hurri lol). That’s the single most important thing I learned from your videos. Cheers!
Cheers to that sir 😎🍻
Great video of the retro kit!
The real hero of the battle of Britain
Excellent make and finish
Looks really nice and im also happy that you are back
I found your video helpful - and I've been modeling for 57 years!
Maketh the model, like good old times!
Ayyy haha I see what you did there!
Glad to have you back
❤️
Great build! I like the raised detailing too. You just notice it more!
Thanks very much :) Nice to see someone who agrees haha!
You are helping me a lot on starting building models. I thought you'd need much more than a couple of paint brushes and thin paint to have amazing results. I want to thank you for that. Cheers
Great to see you back !!! Stay safe
Thanks man, you too!
That Hurri would go perfect in my 1/72 collection! You had fun with it and I like that it's a MK IV, so your decals are close enough. Nice!
you are so underrated. this video helped a lot, thanks.
For a simple little kit...it turned out great... nice video
Thank you very much Tony :)
Excelent work , great airplane !
Okay I admit it, whilst I was hooked on Airfix kits as a teenager decades ago, I haven’t made a kit for a long while and I was prejudiced, assuming it would be really boring and nerdy to watch someone make a 1:72 model. But I watched your Hurricane video and am now
hooked and seen a few more.
Not only was it great to see someone have the same problems I had. It made me feel pleased to see I had come up with some of the same solutions (e.g. holding parts together with clothes pegs and bluetack) and better still see solutions to problems I had but never solved
(e.g. painting and attaching cockpit canopy).
I have seen beautifully made and painted models in shops and found them off putting because they put my efforts to shame, and assumed it was a question of having expensive tools and rigs or supreme dexterous skill. But you have inspired me to realise this this is not the case.
I have had a couple of kits languishing in my draw for a couple of years. You have
inspired me to tackle them. Thank you.
Good luck with them dude, I hope you enjoy! :)
Wooow it is beautifull kit of Hurricane. You make beautifull kits. Good job
Thank you so much!
It's so nice seeing Owen back, can't wait for more.
❤️
Absolutely wonderful 👍
Aw thank you so much!
great to see you back💪🏻
thank you for making another video, you have helped me with modeling so much
You're very welcome, I'm so pleased to hear that my videos have helped you out, that means everything!
These sort of kit r good for getting your mojo back 🍺🍺
Return of the King
As a newbie modeller, my God I've missed you Owen. So much of the modelling press forgets your last statements in this video... [paraphrase] I enjoyed this and I don't care. I'm so glad you're back with Quick Kits :)
I've been waiting all day for this
I also love the new filming style.👌🏻
me too!
Really pleased you like the new style! Thanks for the feedback
Nice build!!
Thanks dude!
Excellent!!
Nice clean build and finish 👍
