@@Johnbuildsiconic Thanks, and I didn't mean any offense ... I also appreciate all the work you put in this and all the really insane eye for detail. It's just that it's sooo relaxing to see this process, that's all. Hats off to you, sir!
No offence taken my friend . I edited this video in a way that it could be watched by anybody, not just model builders, and at nearly 100k views I think it worked
Hello from Canada. Just found your channel and had to comment. I have an Airfix E Boat and the Revel E boat both still boxed up, plus 3 1:72 scale MTB's (Vosper, still in boxes.). I guess I'm one of those modelers who buy and "never get around to it" types. I'm certain I'll be envious of your build once I finish your video. Cheers!!
Just found your channel today - popped up because I’ve been watching US PT boat builds & am just wrapping up my own PT109. Darn it man!! Now you’ve made me do 3 things: 1) like the vid & your work, 2) subscribe C) build my own version of this model using your video as a good reference. Thank you!
i built the exact same boat 20 years ago. its ridiculous how much i rememberabout that particular built. like that the bow deck did not fit that well and that the whole hull was just a little bent so it was rather difficult to put that together. i think this was the last thing i built back then i painted it all as good as i was able to and with just a brush and some color i was rather limited. however back then i was really proud of it for a long time. it actually did swim too without any extra weight. it did look very much like yours except of all the extra fine detail. again as good as a 13yo could do i guess
Nice job, very well put together and with masses of detail. But let down by one piece of detail that is missing. There is a glaring white blank area on the ensign where one would expect to see a swastiika! Is this some sort of bowdlerisation by Revell?
Hi lars, it’s funny but I only noticed that I had glued the seats on backwards when I was editing this video, but all replaced and facing the right way now
Did I miss the top of the deck painting - quite dark compared to the Revell 057 on the side of the hull? Maybe the same 77 Dust grey on the bottom of the hull? Fabulous job btw - can only dream of your skill level.Thanks.
Super job, John !! I checked out your site and wished that you did armor and aircraft. Not much of a boat builder, but I now have this kit in my Amazon cart and will be building this one soon. Great detail and I am buying the crew for this Schnellboot ! thanks again.... 😊
Hi John I'm proud..to see what you have achieved in your work..it just goes to show...that you take great pride in your work...in my eyes..you are at your top level in model building... no matter what the scale is... there will be no mistakes or mishaps... all the up and coming new modellers..Will continue to watch your channel and maybe later in life they will become good as you one day
Thank you Carl for taking the time, and writing this comment, at the start of my RUclips channel, when it’s so hard to get any views on my videos. Comments like this really helped to keep me going
Superb job, on a strangely attractive vessel. I was slightly surprised that you didn't paint more of the small components before assembly but, after watching your skill with the paints, it makes perfect sense. The white centres to the flags: is that a condition of sale, a RUclips thing, or a personal preference? Whatever the reason, it doesn't detract from anything. The splashes of red on the flags and lifebelts help to break up all the shades of grey too. If you do decide to ell this one, I hope the elliong price reflectys the work and skill that went into this build. Cheers for now, Dougie.
Thank you Dougie. That’s how modern kits supply the flag, and I wouldn’t be able the show the emblem in the centre in this video, good chance RUclips would take it down, in this modern world we live
@@Johnbuildsiconic Hmmm, strange way to deal with the "situation". I've heard that the symbol causes problems but this is the first time I've actually seen the consequences. I feel like that's maybe not the best way to deal with it. Nobody would want it plastered all over our screens but by censoring it, it's kinda like denying the attrocities of two world wars actually happened. We can't just erase something from history, because we don't like it. Leaving blank spaces just draws attention to it anyway. I can't think of a situation when I'll ever need to make a decision about it myelf; maybe best to keep it that way. Certainly don't want to get political on YT; there's plenty doing that without any help from me.😁
@@2H80vids This is a Revell Germany version of the kit, is it not? Because there are rules about printing swastikas - or not printing them - in Europe. Airplane kits come with emblems that "suggest" swastikas or none at all, leaving tail flashes up to the builder. If one wanted to be historically accurate, there are aftermarket decals that would finish the flag. Frankly, I think it's a bit "whitewashing" to admire the boat and fine build job and ignore the history behind it.
@@carmium Yeah, bit of a strange one. If someone is going to find the flag too offensive to look at, it's rather unlikely they'd be in the situation of viewing the boat. Presumably, anyone building the kit will know enough about it's history to realise what it stands for, with or without the flags. Are the flags really more offensive than the guns, or the ordnance carried aboard these vessels? If you're going to build this sort of kit, surely it's better if it looks historically accurate? It would make more sense, to me anyway, to supply accurate flags 𝒂𝒏𝒅 these p.c. ones, leaving the choice up to the builder. Censoring history won't change it, might cloud it though.
Beautifully done. The overall look is outstanding. Now I want to build one. Nowhere as good but, your video will give me inspiration to at least give it a try !
Thankyou so much. Wait till you see the huge Mosquito finished build!!! Italeri's S100 is one of the, if not THE best kit i have built so far. The great thing about scale modelling is that it doesnt have to be perfect. Do it the way that you want to do it.
Absolutely Brilliant! Just purchased this model after watching many of your videos. I am not a fan of photo-etch stuff and see that you haven't used any. And the finished article looks great! Your weathering is excellent! You now have 363k views! Do you ever paint directly on the sprues?
@@Johnbuildsiconic PT-109, With the 37mm antitank gun or without. His next commission was PT-59. They took off the torpedo tubes and put in some 30 & 50 calibers along the sides, with 40mm antiaircraft guns, fore and aft, able to shoot on shore.
That's a very impressive build you did hi-five I always did like the schnellboot and wanted to get one but I never could afford the 70 or $80 for it I ended up buying the British fast-attack boat which look pretty cool too but none-the-less that's a very impressive build you did congratulations
Sehr interessantes Video. Ich hatte damals das deutsche Schnellboot von Airfix, war auch ein schönes Modell. Was für einen Klebstoff nutzen sie? Der zieht ja unglaublich schnell an. Very interesting video. I had the German speedboat from Airfix at the time, was also a nice model. What kind of glue do they use? It sets incredibly quickly.
Hello greetings from Peru. congratulations for such a beautiful work. I've watched your video about four times. You have incredible agility. I take this opportunity to ask you how you dilute the Revell paints, since they are very dense. Thank you very much and congratulations!
John Excellent build - I have this kit in my stash, and will follow your lead - hope it turns out near as well!. I enjoyed how you did the basic part of the build prior to painting, but then finished with great detail - well done. Keep up the good work!

Outstanding video, I Had to watch the video again in preparation for building my kit.
Thank you my friend, is video is my most popular on my channel
Wow ! What a kit ! I never knew Revell made such a kit.
And at a very good price my friend
Instructive to watch and the background music is excellent. Perhaps you could mention what it is? Thanks for this and others.
Hi Alec, all the music is
From epidemic sound, I’m working on a new 1/350 scale ship, I will list all the music in the next one
beautiful ring!
Thank you Andy
Damn me. That is one heck of a big boat. It's like looking at a british Vosper in 1/32nd. No wonder S boots were avoided if possible.
Nothing else like it on the water at the time
Великолепно,Мастер!😊
Thank you my friend
Beau travail ! une belle maquette bien soigné ....
I love your work. I save the good videos for my reference as I build my models. This will be saved.
I’m glad you enjoyed the build nohabs
Your Painting and weathering is awesome. Ben sent Me

Wow what talent and Skil
Thank you for your support Mike
Nice job! However check the two small black seats on the cannon: they're facing the wrong direction (they're backwards). Bravo anyway.
Thank you for the feedback , I will have to check that now Cheers
Absolutely top class build....awesome attention to detail..
Thank you my friend
Nicely done...out of the box kit building without after market "stuff"...just building and great painting.

Das geht mir mit Truck-Bausätzen genauso. Sammeln statt bauen ... leider ...
Ja, ich traf andere Modellbauer, die Hunderte von Bausätzen zu bauen hatten. Ich habe über 300 unfertiige.
Top Marks. I used to glue a load of nails inside the hull before sealing it up, to give it a nice weighty feel when picked up...
Ye it’s a very lite weight model
Very precise weathering techneick!
Great work John! I hail from Northern Indiana , in the town of Knox. In Strake County. USA.
