[EN] The third and last video of Hobby Boss 1/48 Romanian fighter IAR 80 series. Please enjoy! [RO] Cel de-al treilea si ultim episod dedicat IAR 80. Vizionare placuta!
Stepane, I am the one that has to say "Thank You" for such a nice comment. Indeed, Romanian IAR 80 it was a masterpiece for its time, no question. As for my work... well... I'm still practicing :) Thanks again, fellow modeller!
Lucian Thank you, Lucian! The plastic it's superb in this kit, but the decals are awful! Please check the correct positions for the small decals on the wings and the electric connector on the under-side. The crosses are good but not in register. The numbers are wrong. If you watch carefully the historical videos, you'll see that the camouflage application is also wrong (it should be wrap-around camo). I really appreciate your comment and thank you for subscription! Gabriel :)
Great video on this kit man. I saw it for cheap at a local hobby store last year and didn't buy it... I'm kicking myself now. I think it was $20.00. I like the finish and camo you did on it as well as the subtle weathering. Fantastic! Looking forward to the Stuka video.
Yes, it's a fine kit from Hobby Boss and sells pretty well. I had twice my order on hold by my supplier, waiting for it. I ended up buying three of them. Unfortunately the painting guide and the decals are pretty much useless and the camouflage pattern is wrong. I updated meanwhile my documentation and I bought better decals. I even picked the next color schemes for the two examples from the stash.
Thank you so much, JJ! Unfortunately, the paint scheme is wrong because I had bad references. Please see my next channel update on the subject. I'm planning another build on the subject. Con un saludo amigual, Gabriel!
I know - I found out later. The width and number of the camouflage strips is also wrong. I bought 2 other kits which I'm gonna do based on accurate paint schemes. Thanks for comment!
Ai dreptate, Gabriel. Maronul e amestecat de mine si l-am scapat inspre rosu. S-ar parea pana la urma ca erau culori frantuzesti (?) - cartea lui Radu. Descrierea generala e terracotta care e mai aproape de maronul frantuzesc si italian decat de cel englezesc... in sfarsit, trebuie sa recunosc ca nu mi-a iesit chiar asa cum voiam... Multumesc pentru opinia sincera.
Eu am vazut doar poze, care cine stie cum au fost colorate, nu sunt istoric si probabil ca gresesc asa ca te rog nu arunca modelul. Oricum nu e un Leopard 2 sa vezi camuflajul pe viu ...
Nu arunc modelul - fac altul. Dupa ce am cumparat cartea lui Radu am vazut ca sunt mai multe greseli acolo, asa ca trebuieste refacut. Am comandat deja decaluri mai calumea si am pre-comandat kit-ul; ar fi pacat sa nu fac o treaba decenta, acum ca am toate oportunitatile. Multumesc din nou!
Indeed, that was hurting! But meanwhile RB Productions have released a full set of correctly printed decals (four options) which I bought together with two more IAR 80s.

Again, many thanks, Paul. I'm glad you liked it - that's the biggest reward for an You-tuber ;)
Bravo!! I have this kit, and will try and make it after watching this video. Thank you for posting this historic piece of Romanian aviation.

Thank you!

yes, a greeting
Some brill work there my friend , well done !! It looks great
Thanks, Motty! I appreciate your feed-back. Cheers!
That looked awsome, got some catching up to do with your videos. Love it
Vasili Thank you, Vasili!
There is NO yellow on top of the wings. Mistake in the instructions. Box-top picture is correct.
I know - I found out later. The width and number of the camouflage strips is also wrong. I bought 2 other kits which I'm gonna do based on accurate paint schemes.
Thanks for comment!
De obicei imi place ce faci... dar mi se pare ca maroul folosit e prea rosiatic... mai ales daca au fost folosite culori raf

Too bad about the mis registered decals.
