Most RUclips reviewers only do reviews to get free kits. Most modellers now only buy kits to put in their attic or spare room and then sell them again. This is a right review, tells the truth.
I wish more people actually reviewed kits this way.
Wholeheartedly agree. To each their own, but all too often RUclips kit reviews are someone waving some sprues in front of your nose!
Thank you, That's one of the biggest reasons I did this review ... I was getting pretty bored with those "Open Box Reviews". It's a kit, so all the pretty parts in the world are worthless if they don't fit together properly. And I didn't want the fixes "swept under the rug."
I couldn't agree more. Excellence in kit reviewing.
@@scale-model-workshop This is by orders of magnitude the best and most useful online build review I have ever seen. Your time and your RUclips channel are your own, but please feel free to do more build reviews like this one. I don't think you'll hear many complaints.
@@johancouder8013 And then they put them in their stache, never to be seen again.
The Ultimate master of model building. Hands down.
I'm glad you said that. I can't imagine this is the norm.
This is how all kit reviews should be done. Kudos to you, Mr. Budzik! 😀
Excellent photography, explanations/narration, and editing. Thank you!
One day, all reviews will be made this way. Thanks Paul. Here’s to part two.👍🏻
Very impressive, and most important, truly useful build review. This should be a model for how reviews are done. The Tempest is one of my all time favorite aircraft. I am eagerly awaiting the kit. Thanks!
When removing the cockpit frame from the spru I had flashbacks to my last visit to the dentist. Not a good memory. ;) Great series Paul. I'd watch more of these. I take it this series is regarding assembly only and not a complete build as parts would've been painted along the way.
Yes, I wanted it to be an actual review of the kit and how it goes together. No hidden corrections or "cover-ups," so modelers would know what to expect when building the kit.
Thanks Paul, really like your take on how to make a video like this. Would love to see you do more of them, but thanks a lot for what you have done...;)
Excellent review - we've all shared this across our various pages. Exactly what is needed from a build review: "these are the issues - this is how I chose to deal with them"
Great video, outstanding builder! I am impressed how Paul Jigs up parts for proper alignment. I am now building the Modelsvit P51 H. I see similarities in tooling between this Tempest and My P51 H. I wonder if tooled by same firm? Modelsvit's P-51H is a jewel in terms of detail and scale fidelity. So much trouble to align landing gear properly. I made a balsa squared jig I attached under wing, using white glue. I used this to align gear and wheels, then removed jig with a little water. Also gear are so fragile, on the real H too. I would make them out of metal next time. The softer plastic also reguired me to saw small parts off sprues, because snipping caused them to distort and break. Be careful about brush cementing large areas, as it seemed to almost distort plastic. Modelsvit P51H is a great looking kit when built. I aced the Cockpit and all photo etch parts. My finishing, black base and Allclad II Chrome has been one learning experiment.
Using a Dremel tool (or equivalent) to remove delicate parts was genius! I'll be doing that in future. Wonderful review, thanks very much.
I believe Paul is a dentist by trade. Knowing that, I cringed when I heard the dremel. ;)
Hi! I am looking forward to hearing about the accuracy.
From the assembling standpoint it's looking promising.
All the best until next time!
I love this video review format. Thanks Paul!
I can only echo other people’s comments. Excellent review! I’ll be keeping an eye on this series as I’m sitting on the fence with this kit. As a side note, Eduard has announced a second series Tempest for February and a Royal Class Tempest for June I believe.
Thank you for the release update.
Very good review Paul. Liking the understated class of your videos. I think the break in the cockpit rail may actually be a cold shut, but the packaging is still unacceptable. Looking forward to seeing how you paint the cockpit with the fuselage closed up. 😉
What a terrific way to review. I look forward to the future build up. Thank you
Got this one for Christmas. It's amazing how many 109's and spitfires are still being made, but other subjects are neglected. Well done to Eduard for this. By the way, the Special Hobby 1/32 Tempest was a decent kit. Ps, please do another part for the Invader!
I will be getting back to the Invader as soon as I finish this review.
A review where the kit gets built , how novel in this day and age - well done .
amazing review, i got this model yesterday, looking forward to the second part review!
Thanks Paul Excellent video more please.👍🇬🇧
thank you! since you talked about your scratch built hawker tempest, will there be the possibility of some more videos about scratchbuilding techniques. i am amazed how some people can create from nothing their own kits.
@bare nekid well that is a great suggestion, thank you
Well done! I'm waiting for the rest of the episodes. Greetings from Poland
And all the best from here in the US
I have Eduard's "Tan" plastic limited edition Tempest MkV #1169 with the resin cockpit. Not a decent kit. More frustration, than pleasure. I'm not sure which is worse the resin pit or the blob of a pit that comes with the kit. So far this new kit looks like night to day. Excellent pit, and air intake, looking forward to the rest of your build.
Add my kudo to the kudos. I've learned something from every video from Mr Budzik. Of course I don't have his skills, but not many people do.
Thanks Eric
Your videos are amazing.
2nd
I have recently completed the Hasegawa 1/48 Typhoon in the Eduard box and it was a pretty disappointing kit to build. It showed its age in the lack of out of the box detail in the cockipt, radiatot bay, around the tailwheel area. The locating pins had to be removed as thy warped the fuselage, but none of the parts in rhe ( also oversised ) box suffered any damage, as the plastic was quite thick and sturdy
Thank you so much to share your knowledge and your suggestions. From one of the best modellers I can see on the internet, these tips are gold to me.I dedicate myself and apply every tips you give here on RUclips as well as on your website, because I feel that I spent more time on painting, weathering and creating dioramas, than on building models with in-depth shape and details.I wonder, though, do you also like to paint your builds, and weather them a bit, or do you prefer to let the models you build as if they look brand new ?
Since my models are displayed in a more industrial/museum setting, the focus needs to be on the subject. Too much weathering makes the model about the dirt and not the machine. If it were in a diorama setting or on a model railroad, I would absolutely weather it appropriately. What I came to learn, many years ago, when I was doing large scale Formula 1 cars, is that it is much more difficult to make something look new and real.
Nice one Paul. Wish episodes were a little longer!
RUclips provides a ton of analytics. One of them is watch times and locations. The longest watch times are people from the US and they barely ever get past 5 minutes ... most countries never get past 3 minutes. So I decided to keep these parts down to watchable time segments because of the sequential nature.
Scale Model Workshop ok thanks
What is the reason you work with two kits (at least)?
Great review Paul! Looks like a nice kit if your careful about the assembly. If you have a minute please pop by my channel and check it out. I produce military modelling build videos, reviews and more. I'm looking to connect with as many quality creators in my genre on RUclips as I can and your skills are truly stellar! I just subscribed . Cheers Scott.
