I can recommend Eduard aircraft for their superb quality and reasonable retail price. The BF 108 has been on my Bucket list for some time. Your build of same was excellent. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to show this great build.
I hope that you build many more Eduard kits. Fabulous Taifun. Your Dad's tip on propeller painting is so simple but so elegant. Totally stealing that idea. Great bid.
this is most possibly one of the neatest jobs with aircraft models i have ever seen! i like the way you glewed the decal on because alot of times the decals in the cockpit would fall off! very nice job! keep up the good work!👍
thank you very much Johnovan, I know the problem, it probably would have been just as easy to use the full solid panel, but I really had fun seeing the effect of this. I've seen on a few older kits my dad was once restoring where the decals deteriorated and flaked all over the canopy.
I hope that you enjoy the kit. I had a few fit issues with mine, I think the mold was pulled off too soon while it was hot and I had a bit of warpage with the fuselage. Still I'd like to get another :)
Lovely work on a lovely kit. There are some details that caught my attention, like using Tamiya brush glue AFTER placing the pieces together, rather than before as usual. Also, that´s a nice idea to prime parts in white before applying the final yellow color- the problem is that both colors are rather troublesome to me :P (as I´m experiencing with my current kit; a helicopter in 1/72nd scale painted white, red and black) Also, a few times I used Micro Set and M. Sol for the decals, but I aw no difference between using them and not, so for the moment I am keeping those containers aside... Finally, nice idea too using that kind of "gun" to paint the propeller hub; way more effective than just spinning a wooden stick! Great work, once more.
I've been able to use that 3 times now and every time it's more and more fun painting the spinners like that. ANd very rewarding knowing that the divider line it more level than using my own hand. It seems like extra work but I've learned a base coat of white makes everything apply easier with brighter colors like red and yellow. Plus you don't spend so long trying to get a base of the color, by creating 5-10 layer making it all really thick. :)
You bet, Edmonton is a great city... ummm politics aside that is LOL. Say, if you have any kits you'll never do let me know. I have zero in my stash and would rather buy them from a fellow modeler. Thanks again.
There's going to be a model show in Nanton in a few weeks, with lots of vendors there. I was jut looking through my kits yesterday, and I'm going to take some time in July possibly to look through and maybe put a bunch for sale. Too many that I just can't finish in this life time.
Absolutely fabulous build, I very much liked the Tamiya drill idea for painting the white dot on the spinner, I am wondering if you might be able to complete a spiral effect in the same manner? Keep up the good work
Good to see you get your groove back! Beautiful job. (James Garner and Donald Pleasance stole one of these in, "The Great Escape") If you liked this, Eduard does a brilliant series of Bf-109's. They also do a good P-39
I'm keeping an eye out for the P-39, but they are going pretty high on ebay, hopefully I'll find one at the show in a bit. I'd really like to get a few kits out with olive drab, I've been reading up on it and I'd like to try some new techniques out.
Ok, go to the Andy's Hobby Center RUclips page. He does a really good black and white prime on his 1/35 armor, similar to what I do on Soviet armor. It might help doing faded OD on a 1/48 or 1/72 OD American bird.
Great Job!! Inspired me to get this kit. Nice job on the cutting of the masks for the canopy. What color was the darker blue for the panel lines on bottom?
10:28 If you thin it a lot and apply it in very thin layers, you can hand brush XF-86. It's too labour intensive for me so I switched to Vallejo Matte Varnish which is waaaay better for hand brushing.
I've tried Vallejo Matt Varnish as well, and I did really like the flat coverage, I just couldn't get the brush strokes properly out of it, not matter how much I thinned it. I think I'll give their Model Air Flat a try.
Hello Sir I'm sorry to bother you I enjoyed watching your full build video of the Bf 108 Taifun. My question is about the instrument panel On all your aircraft builds do you do the same procedure to the panel? Meaning you drill the holes in the panel and apply the decal on the back side using Microscale Kristle Klear so it can dry clear. Thank you for your time Sincerely Allan
The cockpit looks a bit like the interior of a car. Really unusual cockpit but it is really nice. If your painting dark colors, is it worth pre shading? Yea! not seen the Tamiya handy drill for a while. Have you actually used it to rill yet? Nice build very enjoyable video.
Hi Ron, I agree it looks like a very cozy aircraft :) The darker green and the olive drab do show and quite subtly when compared to the lighter green, but my camera didn't quite pick it up in the fullest detail, but it is there. I've used it quite a bit for things that aren't modeling related as well as 4 propeller paintings like this. I bought it to drill out holes for star ships but I haven't quite got to those projects yet.
Really nice job!! May I ask what type of airbrush you use? Looks like a Neo. If so, have you had any issues with it? Thanks and keep the vids coming!! DREW
I've got a NEO CN, and I really enjoy it. It's quite a hard airbrush that you can get a lot of good details out of, especially for the price. I've been surprised on many occasions what that brush can do.
Sorry to be less than helpful. I bought them from a model store and they aren't really name brand. However they are called "non magnetic tweezers" just search that on ebay, and you'll find a few hundred from China, and a few that will sell 5 different types for around $5, and free shipping :D

Thank you very much, they have a new 109 I'm interested in as it was the same as my Uncles squadron :)
I hope that you build many more Eduard kits. Fabulous Taifun. Your Dad's tip on propeller painting is so simple but so elegant. Totally stealing that idea. Great bid.
Thanks Will, I hope the trick comes in handy for you :)

Great to see narration back on the videos. Far more educative that way. Lovely model!Martin
Just bought this one this past weekend myself....hope it turns out as beautifully as yours did!
I hope that you enjoy the kit. I had a few fit issues with mine, I think the mold was pulled off too soon while it was hot and I had a bit of warpage with the fuselage. Still I'd like to get another :)
It's always good to see you build and narrate.
Thank you very much GYRUSS :D Any progress with those Star Trek builds?
Not so much at the moment. I have a holiday in a week so will do a bit of modelling and videos.
So wonderful, beautif job, from another " maquetista" un Alcalá de Henares, España. 🎷

A funny looking plane that eventually evolved into one of the greatest machines of war. Great work! :)
Quite interesting to see the many similarities of the two.
Indeed
i love the back ground music,so soothing
Very clean and tidy build,a lot of glass in that canopy.
Great build as usual. I have this kit on the shelf. I guess I'll start it now. Cool idea for painting the spinner.
Thanks.
Man that looks incredible! Thanks for the great tips and cheers from Edmonton!
Awesome, always nice to meet a fellow Albertan :D

Excellent and would enjoy helping you out.
great build,its been so long i forget how talented you are
Thank you very much :D I greatly appreciate the comment :D

Its beautiful my friend!
Thank you Andre :D

Good show with hands on build vids!👍🏿Thanks for including historically correct
swastikas.................
Jman👀
Finally someone who talks about the fake swastikas. They just dont match like the original ones, for modelling obviously :/
Great Job!! Inspired me to get this kit.
Nice job on the cutting of the masks for the canopy.
What color was the darker blue for the panel lines on bottom?
That was some plain Tamiya Flat Blue, XF-8. Thanks I'm glad you like the kit :)

Strange, I’ve never experienced that problem with the Vallejo varnish
Yay! It's been a while since you uploaded a video like this.
I told you this format would return :)
This looks great!
Very nice work my friend :)
Thanks Dacosta.
Dam Fine peace of modelling
Thanks Mark :)
I'm glad modeling is still alive and well.
fantastic vid m8. really enjoyed it
Nice work.
nice work! love it!

Nope, it completely depends on the build.
Buen video y trabajo,pero me falta en el video el trtamiento con oleos y suavizar los timones de control trasero y ese amrillo chillon

Awesome!👍
Cool video! Question- when handbrushing the Future, do you have any problem's with it filling the panel lines and interfering with the Pin wash?
Also, I'm liking the new format! Nice to here you talk again.
Not that I've noticed, Future is nice in the way it dries very close to the surface.
Really nice job!! May I ask what type of airbrush you use? Looks like a Neo. If so, have you had any issues with it? Thanks and keep the vids coming!! DREW

rebelsatcloudnine May I ask what brand is the black tweezers that you use? I struggle with cheap tweezers and tiny 1/72 parts! Thanks!
Sorry to be less than helpful. I bought them from a model store and they aren't really name brand. However they are called "non magnetic tweezers" just search that on ebay, and you'll find a few hundred from China, and a few that will sell 5 different types for around $5, and free shipping :D
That's bad ass ... thought your next video would be the meng kit... gotta love the Germans too 😈
Thank you very much, I'm currently working on the P-51D, I just added some putty and I hope it will be dry in the morning :)
Look forward to it Mate. love the new format btw I will miss the waffles mind you.
Sir,
If you use water based paint on a fuselage, can you paint a section of the fuselage with a lacquer finish?
Allan
magnifique!
Makes me wanna watch Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Why are there 2 sets?
かっけえ！
This plane should be in war thunder :p
Bradens reviews idk how this would play out in war thunder
