AMT 1/350 Klingon Bird of Prey Part 1
Scale model build of the AMT 1/350 Klingon Bird of prey. This build is here to help with tips to help you along building this model.
In Part 1 we begin using the Green Strawberry fruit pack, building the disruptors, adding the dorsal fins and starting to drill out the windows.
I am neither a professional or expert in models, just someone who has been doing it for a while, and is hoping to teach as well as learn on this journey.
I would like to thank the Hobby Time Modelers @htm_usa for all their help in getting me set up. Also a great thanks to @MarvelPhx for the great intro.

Again, a good video, actually SHOWING how to…. Subscribed. BUT, the music is very intrusive. I vote for no music. As to many saying “turn the volume down” then I miss the voice-over commentary/instructions.
Hello there, good video. Actual parts numbers or links to the Fruit Pack and the Base would be very helpful , to help us beginners purchase the correct parts.
It's a beautiful model. Why didn't you use the cannon colors from archive x
@@MrCharlesthegreat sorry but I didn’t feel the need to purchase paint from another paint line. While I have seen the archive x paints and I know they are great it didn’t seem necessary to me. After all in the end this is just a piece of art. I do hope that answers your question, thanks for watching. Take care.
When will AMT produce a Y Wing and X Wing in 1/32 Scale ? There is no logical reason not to do it.
@@stardude2006 I was just talking to someone friends about that the other day, and it would be nice if they did some other 1/32 “Studio Series” models.
Nice work Ken, the Repulsors looks amazing!!!
Looking really good, I need to pick up one of those Tamiya Handy drills. If I can ever find one lol
Another great video Ken, although every time I watch 1 of these, I can't get Queen's song out of my head for days🤣🤣
Great job so far Ken! Those green strawberry instructions should tell you on the first page exactly what to cut off those reason parts.
@@DonnieDaugherty thanks Donnie
Hey Ken, I don't usually comment on videos, but I just wanted to say how helpful your video series on the Tie Fighter build was. Thank you so much for putting it together and explaining all of the steps so clearly. Have a great day! Cheers.
@@jasonwatts8031Thanks for watching my videos. Take care.
Looking great so far Ken.
This model has been on my "to Buy" list for years. Very interested in this build.
I just bought this same model. Hope it you’ll start churning out build videos so I can follow along lol
Love the TIE Fighter, such a different design, and the sound wow, so cool & evil.
Ooh, this is going to be a sweet build.
Hey! Great work : ) Can you give the spec/model info for the LED strip?
That's going to be really cool, I'm excited to see you build it Ken!!
@@darthtrentog6766 thanks for watching, I too am looking forward to this build
Looks like it’s gonna be a cool build. I kept waiting for you to pull out some whales from the fruit pack to make a Star Trek IV Bird of Prey lol , and Darn it Ken now I wanna watch Flash Gordon
@@ithink2ez thanks for watching Eric, I am looking forward to this build.
Awesome model Ken, love that base
@@ithink2ez Thanks Eric, yes Cosmic Scale Models makes some great stuff.
Very nice work! Thanks for bringing us along on the journey.
@@mdoyle1981 thanks for coming along on the journey.
EXCRUCIATINGLY AWESOME YO 💯 KUDOS ON THE BUILD!
@@jackoszuscik6669 I had a great time with this build, thanks for watching and commenting.
Great series! Looks Awesome!! Lou is Amazing!
@@themodelstudent20 thanks for taking the time to watch my videos.
Turned out great Ken, I love the base!!
@@darthtrentog6766 thanks for watching, Cosmic Scale Models certainly do have a great series of bases.
The support rod holder on my base for the defiant snapped to but not completely off like yours did. Awesome video and that tie fighter looks amazing! I need to give that mottling effect a try. One thing though, every time that music comes on I want to head over to the bar and order a drink. 😏
Oh, and that lighting looks sweet!
@@DonnieDaugherty Thanks Donnie, I just hope I don’t corrupt you into going bar too often.
Like I need corrupting! 😏
The Ocean Grey looks good with its bluish tint. Looks similar to the ILM Stormy Sea from Archive X.
You could have just left the clear cockpit parts off and kept it accurate to the original filming models which did not have them to avoid reflection from the studio lights.
@@decadentdave I do realize that they didn’t have the glass, however I did want to show it for anyone who was interested in buying/building the kit how the kit turns out. For me personally I prefer the windows being in, as this will be sitting on a shelf collecting dust for years, that will help prevent dust from getting inside. Thanks for watching my videos.
Well that doesn't look that dark after all now that it's all together. But I think I'll still go with a little XF-2. That base is awesome and gave me a few ideas. I enjoyed your build. Hope to see more Star Wars!
What kind of black primer are you using? Looks smooth. I use Mr. Surfacer 1200 black.
@@decadentdave for many of my builds I use AK microfiller primer, it is lacquer based and requires no thinning, just needs really good mixing.
The rear window thingy always cracked me up. First of all there’s no window on the back of the fuselage and if it is a display screen it’s pointless to put it behind the pilot he should have an aft viewscreen near his yoke.
That looks pretty dark to me. The general consensus at the RPF is to mix 1:1 XF-82 and XF-2 (Flat White) or use TS-32 (Haze Grey) in a rattle can. I have this kit, the old MPC TIE Adv, and the rereleased AMT TIE Fighter and TIE Interceptor on the bench right now (might as well do them at the same time). I'm nowhere close to paint - the TIE Adv needs a LOT of custom work. It'll be interesting to see how this comes out and hopefully it can inform my paint choices. I went ahead and bought multiple cans of TS-32 and a few jars of XF-82 & XF-2, I still have several Fine Molds and Bandai TIEs in the stash. Subbed! Don't mind me. If it looks good to you, that's what's important. Round 2 did a pretty good job with this kit. Let's hope they come out with the 1/72 TIE Bomber they've been teasing! That's the only TIE that never got a major production run.
@@purplemicrodot58 thanks for watching, and good luck with your Tie Fighter builds.
I don't know what it is, but it needs fuzzy Imperial dice.. Lol Looking Awesome!!! I built the old Darth one I should drag it out and finish my mods. Thanks for the inspiration!
@@themodelstudent20 glad I could provide you with some inspiration.
Great video, but dammit I don't own any XF-82! time for a purchase!
@@PitstainHobbies thanks for watching Ian. Now you know what to buy on the next livestream. 😂
@@Kenshobbybench 🤣
Awesome video Ken! This is looking great!
@@DonnieDaugherty thanks Donnie, I appreciate your help with the lights.
Looks amazing Ken, can’t wait to see the finished kit
@@ithink2ez thanks, I am also looking forward to seeing it finished.
Great video Ken, the Tie really looking good, the mottled effect came out great!!
@@darthtrentog6766 thanks, I was really happy with how it turned out.
Looking great Ken
It’s looking fantastic Ken, model building with some smooth jazz, now I just need to pour a glass of Macallan 25
Not enough clamps Ken just need one more 😂
Nice job Ken, looking great!
@@darthtrentog6766 thanks, I am having a good time building this kit.
Great video Ken! That is looking sweet!
@@DonnieDaugherty Thanks Donnie, I appreciate your help and input with my lighting questions.
Tie Fighter is looking great, love the lights!
@@PitstainHobbies thanks Ian, I am seeing why lighting a model can be so much fun. Appreciate you watching.
Nice job Ken!! looking really good so far!
That's going to look great Ken. What gauge wire are you using. It looks awfully stiff.
@@DonnieDaugherty yes it is thick, I couldn’t find my wire from when I moved, so I used the off cuts from the LED. Amazon should have my new wire by tomorrow.
Looking really good Ken, are you gonna drill out the keyed bottom cap and run the post through it for added detail on the bottom ?
@@ithink2ez yes I was wanting to do that. But haven’t looked at it too closely yet.
Great Video Ken I love that you’re showing which paints your using. It really helps us new or returning modelers learn
@@ithink2ez I am glad that I can help anyone in this hobby, and thanks for watching.
That is looking great Ken, very nice work stuffing the LEDs into that.
@@PitstainHobbies thanks Ian, I am starting to have fun with the lighting.
Great video Ken, your Tie is looking really good so far
@@darthtrentog6766 thanks I appreciate you taking the time to watch. Take care.
Awesome video Ken! That looks great so far!
@@DonnieDaugherty Thanks Donnie.
Great Video Ken! 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it!
Looks Incredible!! I really like the weathering.
@@PitstainHobbies thanks Ian. I find that the weathering really adds a great finishing touch to the whole project.
@@kenhorvath796 Agreed, nothing brings a model to life like some good weathering.
Tank is looking great Ken!
Thanks Keith, the journey is very close to finished.
