I like your style. Don’t change, there is a reason why people tune in. And your criticism is always constructive and useful. Plus you love matchbox 👍👍👍
You absolutely nailed it with your assessment of the "after market" phenomenon. To me, it's main - and original- purpose is to improve bad/inaccurate kits. Not to add pointless and virtually unnoticeable frills to already excellent kits.
This Mosquito project is shaping into a nice build - those figures look very authentic and the photo etch on the instruments looks great as well. And in terms of the content of your videos, you just keep on doing you because you bring a different perspective from some of the other model kit videos I see, and I watch many RUclips creators involved in this hobby.
I always find it funny when a PE manufacturer want you to remove something 3D/round and replace it with something flat or too thin. Nothing wrong with flat levers added to a kit when they dont exist in a kit ( in the smaller scales anyway ). A lot of older kits obviously benefit more from AM parts but a lot of the modern kits need very little to look great, unless they are correcting errors.
I totally agree with you re: aftermarket bits and bobs, especially concerning the interior. On airplanes with radial engines, brass can make an engine look awesome. But spending money to upgrade a cockpit that no one will be able to see? Nope. Ships are a bit different for me though. Railings are a necessary expense.
I generally get the kit first, then maybe a bit of aftermarket. On the kotare spitfire I did get the instrument panel and the seatbelts as the cockpit is very open and I wanted it to look as good as possible. I haven’t got anything yet for the zokei mura FW190 yet though
Hi Peter, I'm back. I always find your closing words inspirational. I lost my mojo earlier this year, for reasons. But I'm recovering from surgery right now and as soon as I can sit upright again, and lean over a table, I'll be back on it. Keep doing things at your own pace, the best of us won't judge you.
Peter I'm not being funny but the Tamiya Straps look so much more like the real thing and It might be worth noting that Eduard PE is going down hill a little over the last 12 month's. You should go with your gut feeling and do which ever ones you feel will be better for your situation.
Clunky is cool! You are a real modeller, not someone who is playing at it. You come across as quite genuine, not afraid to voice your opinion, I for one, very much appreciate the honest approach. I don't always agree with you but we can both agree that every modeller has their own 'thing' with the hobby we all love!
Peter opinions differ and occasionally you annoy me (kinetic😂)but I love your content you are on a learning curve as we all are just keep doing what you do I thoroughly enjoy your videos as a matter of fact back a couple of years I bought the Tamiya Corsair on the back of your review and at the end of the day I tell everyone build it your way ok so take care and I look forward to more build updates on the mossie
Try building the Revell 1/32 mosquito offering! You’ll soon lose the will to Live. Your mojo will die and become extinct! Mine flew into a wheelie bin on its maiden flight; I’m surprised it made it that far!
It was very interesting listening to you talk yourself out of using the PE. I totally agree with your conclusion. Also, remember, if the aircraft is on the ground there would be no radar signal so the supplied decal isn't required.
The problem I see as a RUclipsr, I tend to feel like it's almost expected to provide the ultimate detail experience? It depends on the kit but my stance on the good Tamiya kits such as the Mosquito and the Corsair etc, is to pretty much build them out of the box, other than the decals, lets not go there 😁
Totally agree with you Peter. There are a few places where the kit can be improved. I used SOME of the Eduard photo etch, fabric seat belts (I don't like pilots getting in the way) and brass barrels. I'd also like to improve the ammunition tracks which I think are a bit flat on the standard kit. I try to break the build into subsections or mini builds if you like. Otherwise it becomes overwhelming. Still not finished mine but I do have the wings on now. Keep up the good work.
On the topic of authenticity you would be extremely lucky to find a ww2 airplane in its original form. Considering they were designed and built 80 + years ago things have been removed, replaced over the years. The kit manufacturers, unless they have access to the original blueprints, they have to rely on museum exhibits which are rarely in original condition,or photographs. I don’t think there is a 100% accurate kit out there!
Pete, I'd definitely go with a section of the fabric belts- they look so much better- but could you perhaps do a hybrid version and use the anchor part from the photo etch? I haven't watched the whole vid yet so apologies if that's what you decided to do!
Peter, don't fret too much about the interior. Even in 1:32 not much will be that visible. Get a figure in, well painted and then close it up. Spend you effort on what can be seen - paint , weathering and decals.
Everything you're saying about aftermarket makes good sense, especially for 1/72 and 1/48 scales, as many "out-of-the- box" parts fulfill their part well. That being said, I'm eyeing some of the Great Little Ships photoetch for the 1/72 Corvette. I need. I want. Also, I like photoetch for 1/350 ships, especially for radar dishes. Plastic radar parts tend to look like plastic slaps. I also like metal barrels for all scales.
@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab thanks Peter. I've got a huge stash of kits. I've got things like Spitfire and SR 75, which doesn't even exist, but they would be wasted with my skills, so I've got a heap of hobbyboss, easy assemblies, and other cheap kits to practice on first. You're one of my favourite modelling channels. Keep up the great work 👍
I would definitely not be adding stuff to a Tamiya I/32 kit . It cost enough for a start . It's always going to be a model . I so agree with you 100% . it's ironic that all that effort and really the photo etch is horrid sometimes , not for Me!
Don’t worry about what other people are doing, you can’t control what people think of you and in the end it doesn’t matter what they believe or do. Just go about your business.
no offence to rivet counters....it looks good to me! we have a tendency to "overbuild"...if it looks good, I'm happy. We build because we like to build, not please others. Call it a day when you're satisfied. Dane
I have my simple "therapeutic" kits such as Tamiya 1/48 armour, and more recently, a heap of original 1/72 Airfix/Frog/Matchbox/Revell kits to build between the more complicated stuff. And then I decide to go and rig the 1/72 Roland C11...🤪🤪. And, I noticed in the opening scene you have the soldier on the Tiger barrel. Hopefully he is not going to start singing "If I could Turn Back Time"...
I generally solve the dilemma of indecision over 3rd party aftermarket products by not bothering with any of them. I once bought some seatbelt sets but did't think they were worth the eyestrain and they sit there unused. I feel the same about most PE that is included with kits. most of the time it just isn't worth it. If i'm desperate, I might 3d model & print some extra detail or a pilot. In my case, no one else is ever going to see or ask about any of it, apart from 'er indoors, who just complains about the clutter. PS Congratulations on your knob extension.
Your motivation chat was very helpful. I got into modeling because I fly aircraft in a simulator called DCS and one day while flying an F14 I thought 'hey, I would love to have a Tomcat model sitting on my PC.' So I bought a Tamiya kit and have caught the building bug. It's been a hell of a ride learning a new hobby and sometimes it's a bit of a grind but chugging through to the bitter end is really rewarding. Finished a 1/35 Huey a few months back and now working on the Tamiya 1/32 Mark IXc and enjoying every second. Anyway, probably bored everyone reading this but just wanted to add, having another hobby can really help with burn out. Whenever I need a break I jump into my DCS Spitfire and go at it with BF109s or a sortie of Ju-88A-4s. For some reason watching the Luftwaffe hurl to the earth in a ball of fire makes me giddy and revitalizes me. 😉 Anyway, that's my 2 cents - find another hobby to fall back on to keep the juices flowing.
Just like writing a book, Pete, if you're not in the mood, it will definitely go pear-shaped on you. And a sore healing foot doesn't help. Give it time, it will get built eventually when you are good and ready.
I agree that we are all guilty of “aftermarket fixation” trying to super detail already well detailed cockpits or when a lovely sculpted pilot figure is in the kit box. To be honest, I would not cut up an aftermarket PE set when masking tape or the kit’s PE seatbelts are available to drape behind the pilot figure in the seat. 😊 PS: Aftermarket is for adding obviously missing detail, not replacing existing detail unless it is severely incorrect, IMHO.
Enjoyed the update Peter. I feel like there's 2 routes with this, put all the detail in with aftermarket and be unlikely to see any of it, or settle for the kit parts which in most cases suffice. For the most part a lot of these things will never be seen anyway! Hopefully the mojo returns soon 👍
Yes. I suffer from the same mojo problem in the summer too. I’ll walk by the incomplete model multiple times all summer and keep on going. Once October hits I go to work on my models until about May. I still don’t understand why, because it’s not that I don’t have the time, I just seem to lose interest.😊
I completely agree on the overuse of aftermarket parts. I only use them if the kit parts are really bad or if I break or loose parts. You maybe inclined to use them on the Revell 1/32 mosquito which is only £32.00 compared to over a £120 +. If it looks like a duck , walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a bloody duck 🤦🏻♂️
Totally with you on the unnecessary photo-etch interior details THAT NO-ONE WILL SEE!!! I know we all have our 'thing' that gives us the buzz we want from the hobby but I know modellers (one in particular) who will spend weeks on a project obsessing about after-market resin and photo-etch doo-dads, fettling, filing, tweaking (yaaaaawn) bits THAT NOBODY WILL SEE!!! My thing is getting the model to look like a miniature of the real thing with oil streaks, chips, burn marks, wear etc that make it look like the machine in real life in miniature. And don't get me started on pre-shading - another fashion/fad that to me looks entirely artificial, real aircraft just don't look like that. Look at you ref, see what actually happens between panel lines, powdered pastel/weathering powders are much more representative of the actual finish (use blue-tack to randomly dab off the powder when applied and you get a real, dirty finish that looks like the actual thing, have a go, experiment, see what you think. As said, we all have our thing, each to their own and so on. Always enjoy your presentations, very helpful, cheers.
@@baanibarnes9711 Thanks and Yep I agree! I just been trying to attach a PE handle to that radar screen with no location for it and just a flat plate of PE...ridiculous! 😤😡
For the 1/32 Tamiya WW2 kits are acceptable with minor mods. There are modellers that find them less interesting because there is not the need to correct/improve on obvious issues most kits have. In this case, compare/build the old Revell Mosquito. Yikes! I have two years of work building a pair of 1/24 Airfix Mk.IXs. Enjoyed the extra work put into them to improve/correct and the only aftermarket replacement was resin exhaust.
No figure in the Bader mk.V kit , you get a pair of 3D printed tin legs to put on the seat or drape over the leading edge of the beautiful elliptical wing . P.s . I am joking . M
I think we are at the point where aircraft model kits 1/48 and above should have accurate looking seatbelts whether it be PE or molded on instead of decals as standard. Oh and please stop molding the pilot with his hands on his thighs
Ok so you do build kits, i did wonder! I gave up with buying and applying photo-etch, I am of an age where it is to small for my eyes and fingers. By the way, regarding your Mosquito, I don't think the radar would be turned on when the aircraft is on the ground?!
The older I get (I've been modeling for 47 years) the more I really look at what I am adding to a kit, even from sets I already have on hand. A lot of aftermarket is worthwhile but when it comes to photo-etch, there are items in these sets that are too two dimensional and are either better left alone or scratch built if one wishes to replace the kit part. Then, there are also those parts that are so microscopically small that using them becomes impossible. It is a matter of choice really, but I think that choice becomes a lot clearer as we age and our eyes and coordination are not what they were 20 or 30 years ago.👴
Ive beem modelling for 46 years and remember kits with no , or very limited interiors and eduard etch was a grest , cheap way to add detail combined with some simple scratch building . Now kits have better detail ootb , mostly , than was achieved back then and with a few additions , i find , will suffice. Homogenous painting looks better than any preprinted stuff , if done by a skilled painter. Keep chipping away Pete , they don't build themselves . M
On the subject of kit reviews. I'm sorry to say that I've actually unsubscribed from your channel because I got tired of the endless reviews. Having said that, your reviews are better than most other reviews on RUclips. For me, they all seem to be lacking (I mean ALL reviews) an essential part and that is how does the kit go together ? Are there any fit problems ? What does it look like when it's assembled ? To me, it's like reviewing a car without a test drive. I'd call them, "an in depth review". Something to consider for the future I hope and in my opinion, would put your reviews head and shoulders above the others. Best wishes. Bryan
@@bryan26762 Thanks for the compliment, but I find your comments very strange: Did you not see last week's Kinetic Sea Harrier after-build review? (Perhaps BECAUSE you unsubscribed) I doubt there has ever been a more forensically detailed kit building breakdown? Once I complete a kit, I always do an after-build review. But I think you are being unrealistic...Building kits takes a LOT of time, -unlike a car test drive! Perhaps you should try doing it yourself...? Cheers Peter
@@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab I did start watching the review but because it wasn't an aircraft that I was interested in modelling I gave up. I have now gone back and watched it all the way through. It's exactly the kind of review I would like to see. I fully understand that it takes time to build a kit but I would much rather watch fewer reviews of this quality than many of lesser depth and usefulness. Especially when they are of obscure models or manufacturers. Do you really need to build the kit to show how well it goes together... or not as the case may be ? Surely just loosely fitting main components together with tape would give a good indication. In short, quality rather than quantity. At the end of the day, it's your channel and it's up to you what you do. I'm just voicing my opinion and giving feedback. Hopefully in a helpful manner.
I generally get the kit first, then maybe a bit of aftermarket. On the kotare spitfire I did get the instrument panel and the seatbelts as the cockpit is very open and I wanted it to look as good as possible. I haven’t got anything yet for the zokei mura FW190 yet though

(Perhaps BECAUSE you unsubscribed) I doubt there has ever been a more forensically detailed kit building breakdown? Once I complete a kit, I always do an after-build review. But I think you are being unrealistic...Building kits takes a LOT of time, -unlike a car test drive! Perhaps you should try doing it yourself...? Cheers Peter
@@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab I did start watching the review but because it wasn't an aircraft that I was interested in modelling I gave up. I have now gone back and watched it all the way through. It's exactly the kind of review I would like to see. I fully understand that it takes time to build a kit but I would much rather watch fewer reviews of this quality than many of lesser depth and usefulness. Especially when they are of obscure models or manufacturers. Do you really need to build the kit to show how well it goes together... or not as the case may be ? Surely just loosely fitting main components together with tape would give a good indication. In short, quality rather than quantity. At the end of the day, it's your channel and it's up to you what you do. I'm just voicing my opinion and giving feedback. Hopefully in a helpful manner.
Airfix pornography..... Brilliant! ✌️
I generally get the kit first, then maybe a bit of aftermarket. On the kotare spitfire I did get the instrument panel and the seatbelts as the cockpit is very open and I wanted it to look as good as possible. I haven’t got anything yet for the zokei mura FW190 yet though
@@paulmoore6345 I can recommend the FW190 Guns from ZM. 👍🏻
