1/72 - Curtiss SB2C-4 Helldiver - Cyber Hobby- scale aircraft build

[@jbro2341]

You have done a excellent representation of the Helldiver used and abused War torn aircraft! I really enjoyed the build and techniques you applied. I'll keep watching!

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate 👍

[@petermartin4691]

Amazing work,👍

[@MMScaleModels]

Thank you

[@johnparmer6195]

Bravo! Thank you. I have a 1:48 scale Helldiver to build and your video is inspiring. My father was a gunner on those aircraft. Imagine dive bombing backwards.

[@MMScaleModels]

I would need some bags 🤢

[@BrianSanders-tn7pi]

Hi Sir. That was truly a spectacular build. The quality of your work is amazing. I enjoyed watching the build progress to a great finished aircraft. I wish that I was that good. Well done. Thankyou.

[@MMScaleModels]

Thank you for your kind words. All comes from building models and experimenting with new techniques. Everyone can do great models.

[@simonmowatt]

Cyber Hobby's 1/72 kits are so hard to come by, but they are beautifully moulded.

[@MMScaleModels]

Yes, it's a nicely detailed kit 👌

[@chrisworthington1027]

I watch your videos to relax or at least I try. Next thing you know I'm dancing like I just dropped some molly. 🤣 Your music LOL

Very beautiful build! I've been working on Academy's 1/72 SB2C-4E for the past 2 months and it's kinda kicked my ass lol

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks, Academy's newer kits are pretty good which cannot be said about all of their older ones.

[@brianc1701]

Beautiful build! Really like the black filter effect using the sponge, stealing that technique! Thanks for the great work and sharing it with us!

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks Brian. This technique is the quick version of the salt weathering method... kind of :)

Thanks mate 👍

[@rossomachin]

Nice build! Subscribed.

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate, welcome aboard 👍

[@bobsisic5714]

Can you explain the different glues your using

[@MMScaleModels]

Hi Bob, I use several types of plastic cements. The yellow cap is slow seting, suitable for when you need time to adjust the parts. The blue cap is faster setting, it cures almost instantly so streamlines the process. Super glue also has fast or slow types... same use as above. White glue is used mostly for canopies as it dries transparent and will not fog the clear plastic.

[@flopse3947]

Fantastic work! The kit looks a little bit similar to the revell/pro modeller kit, even a bit smaller (1/72)

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate. I have never seen the revell kit in person but this have quite nice details OOB.

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Amazing detail in this kit, was PE included? Didn't look like the seams were too bad, either? Excellent job detailing, painting and weathering! Keep up the great work 👍

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks Jerry, yes the PE came with the kit. It comes together nicely except for the clear parts.

[@SmallSoldier]

That's one well worn and weathered Helldiver! Great overall finish. I love US WW2 naval planes. Is there any aftermarket other than the dive brakes? I didn't notice any. Awesome job as usual.👊👊🙂

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate, there is no aftermarket at all. Even the dive brakes are oob. Very good kit but very poor transparencies fit.

[@robertjensen1438]

Just a comment for the algorithm

[@AlexandrMI-]

great job. And pencil Prismacolor PC949?

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate, yes that's right 949

[@AlexandrMI-]

@@MMScaleModels Thanks

[@jerryvolpini7987]

I prefer the look of paint to colored pencils but huge variety of colors and very easy to apply.

[@MMScaleModels]

Yes, pencils can speed up the process quite a bit... but for larger scales I preffer paint as well

[@bobsisic5714]

One more thing do I have to use a primer before paint or can I just paint one Color say green for base coat then the other Color of the model

[@MMScaleModels]

You can, but some paints have problems sticking to the plastic so primer is safer approach

[@djamelnini2235]

👏👍💪!...😋

[@djamelnini2235]

👍😋!...

[@alb707]

Felicitaciones, le enviaré 4 modelos que tengo hace 30 años sin armar, para que me los arme y pinte por favor 😂.
Si puede hacerlo y me dice que si, se lo envío desde 🇨🇱

[@MMScaleModels]

Hi, thank you very much for your generous offer but I have plenty of unbuilt models myself. No more room to store boxes sadly :)
