Thank you for motivating me to start my 1 /72 Airfix Hellcat. Great simple build.
Its a great little kit, have fun!
👍👍
First Junkers Ju 88, Stuka, me 262. There now outstanding video Glenn as always 👍👍 its funny I haven't built an aircraft since i was 16 years old. My nemesis has always been the canopies and kits back then you had to be a Magician to get the dang thing to fit together right. One kit i remember you put the wings together and slide them through the fuselage what a turd. Off track. So I hated canopies because painting back then all we had was enamel paint which look like heck if you had an accident and glue just destroyed it all together i know bla bla bla .fantastic build Glenn looking forward to your next build video. 👍
Hey Clay, all added to the list mate. I was a shocking builder of aircraft as a kid, luckily none have survived to haunt me, but i can remember that none of them ever seemed to fit together properly and i am fairly sure i didn't even know i was supposed to paint parts of the canopies 😉 Early idea is that next build will be the 1/35 Pershing tank as a "Dugong" in a "Halidonia" diorama 👍
You've done a great job on that, it looks really good.
I've seen a comment on another channel from somebody whose Gran used to work in a factory building Spitfires during the war and she said that the camouflage was done by painting brown all over the top surfaces and then spraying green over the top of the brown, using large shaped mats to mask the brown.
I loved the intro, that's one of my favourite films.
I'd like to suggest the Vought F4U Corsair for your WW2 collection, an uncle of mine used to fly them in the NZAF.
Thanks Ian, much appreciated mate! I knew in a fifty fifty guess about what colour to put down first i would get it wrong 😋 Both your suggested planes added to the list mate 👍
Great series of videos, during lockdown I’ve been watching some superb model builds including yours. I’m amazed how techniques have progressed since I was last building models 40 years ago. I wish I had been able to watch something like this when I first started. It’s great watching experts with years of experience creating masterpieces but sometimes you really need to see something a bit more straightforward with tips on how you can improve a basic kit. Many thanks.
Thanks Stuart, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Things have certainly changed and for the better in terms of what we have available to us to help build wonderful kits, no doubt 👍
excellent , just my level, makes me want to build, where as watching the skilled builders puts me off totally ,thankyou so much
Thanks Stevie, I am glad you enjoyed it 👍
Just stumbled across your youtube channel this evening.
Enjoyed this Spitfire video series. Great little build.
Thanks Simon, welcome to Halidonia mate 👍👍👍
Hawker Hurricane. I built 1.72 spitfire and messerschmitt 109e (desert cam) when I was 12. I still have them. 35yrs later They are in bits now, but I'm building and painting the 109, spit, and Hurri for my 6 year old. 40 years ago I collected all the 1.72 scale airfix soldiers and airmen. I'm planning on building a small diorama for my son, just like my old man and I did all those years ago.
Hi Ginge, added to the list mate. Sounds great, my boy and i spent months painting LOTR 28mm figures years ago, it was really great spending time at the table doing that with him. Take care, thanks for watching 👍
I liked the part where you washed the undercarriage, as i am new to painting and wanting to learn how to apply effects and weathering i found that very beneficial.
Great video and i now feel a lot confident 👊
Thanks Craig, I am glad it was helpful! Cheers 👍
Really helpful tips and tricks, thanks. Keep them coming.
Thank you, I am glad you find them helpful
Brilliant intro! "...fat old men..." Hey, if the cap fits! Good series this - got me all 'brush nostalgic' for a minute there. Never knew about the vinegar either. On the aircraft front, the Fiat G.55 is a fine looking plane if you wanted an Italian one, and for the Soviets I'd go for a MIG 3. Good stuff. Cheers.
Thanks Andrew, i felt ok saying that given i am one of them 😜 Both suggestions added to the list, thanks mate 👍
Italian Fiat G50, in Finnish markings.
Got this spitfire kit myself while been watching your 3 vid's. Great stuff.
Thanks, much appreciated. The Fiat is added to the list 👍
Hi mate, that intro made me laugh, hope you are all OK, great video mate, one of the best videos I've seen on the modelling for beginners. Stay safe Mamba. Fondest regards, sweet cheeks. Xx
Thanks brother, much appreciated, i enjoyed making the intro video, i am working on the final reveal intro now, the Mamba gets a mention it it too 😜 Take care mate, I hope you are keeping healthy and safe, it's about time we got a video from you old boy, I'm missing your angelic face 😍😍😍
Spot on glen nice and clearly done perfect for the beginners a really nice relaxing style I would like to see the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 one of my favourite fighters of WW2 after the Spitfire and Hurricane
Hi Greg, thanks mate, much appreciated. Your suggestion is added to the growing list 👍 I hope you are keeping well mate and continuing to improve
Your very welcome glen I'm getting there i had my feeding tube removed yesterday so the old stomach is a bit sore but the main thing is im heading in the right direction
Aircraft you missed out on your list: The Vought Corsair and the FW 190. If you wanted to throw one other iconic WW2 aircraft in there, then the JU 87 would make my list too.
I like what you've done with the Spitfire. Looks really great - I haven't seen a handpainted Spitfire for a while. Looks like you've had a blast with this build, and they've been good vids. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Cygnusx, thanks for the suggested planes I have started a list to keep track 😜 It was a great fun build, a bit challenging using a brush to paint and results clearly not as good as if i have used the air brush, but still really happy with the result, thanks for watching mate 👍
Glen, was or friend Horse in the woods during Goering's visit? Off camera, of course, flooding the place! You did a super job on this build. Inspiring for newcomers to the hobby.
Thanks Larry, much appreciated mate. Yes Horse was almost certainly lurking and leaking in the background 😜
I enjoyed this video, I brush paint my models as well, good to see someone else doing as well. Most RUclipsrs airbrush.
Glad you enjoyed it!
So, 7 other 1/72 iconic WWII fighters. P-51D Mustang, Me-109, FW-190, F4U-1 Corsair, Hurricane, Zero, P-47 Thunderbolt, MiG-3, P-40, Yak-9, F4F Wildcat, F6F Hellcat, Me-262. I think that pretty much covers the major players and their best known fighters. Less iconic choices, P-39 Aircobra, Typhoon, Tempest, Macchi C.205. Have fun choosing!
Thanks DJ, great suggestions and i have added them all to the growing list, I think i will have to put a top 10 suggested list out for the viewers to vote in the top 7 from that, i wont be able to decide on my own, they are all too good 😀
Excellent job well done, do you only build 1/72nd or do you venture out and build 1/48th?
HI Les, thank you. I actually normally build 1/35 armor, this was a real departure for me but i really enjoyed it. I will be doing more aircraft for sure and i have a 1/48 Spitfire in the stash that i am looking forward to getting stuck into 👍
maybe I missed but I'm looking for the green underbelly cover. Where do I find it or how do I mix it?
You need better music. Some nice classical or piano music, maybe some jazz. Otherwise good job on the build. Nice work.
That intro😂😂👌🏻
Thank you, it was fun to do and it keeps me off the streets 😜
@@HalidonDioramas nice haha😅✌🏻
A f4f Wildcat USN Fighter or a Hellcat...?
Thanks Mitch, both added to the list 👍
