Thanks I have a large Corsair to ship 5 states away.....hopefully it arrives ok
Anything more than 500 miles 50/50 whether it arrives in one piece. I find USPS pay out on damage claims typically. UPS and FedEx make excuses and avoid paying on claims
@RWHobbies thanks for the response....so appreciate I listed this on FB didn't expect a fast response and so many states away...I'm in NJ going to Illinois....so with your help...and some creative cardboard cutting...any recommendations on the kinda shipping usps ?
I'm not sure why this just appeared in my feed 3 years later 😂 but... I have the H&S Infinity CR+ 0.2mm - and a couple of Procons! If you had problems with the CR+ blocking, you were either not thinning the paints enough or you had a faulty one - which is very surprising for an H&S but not impossible. The Procons are made in the same factory that makes Iwatas, but it's not an Iwata factory - its a company called Rich. Tamiya ABs are also made there! A few Iwata/Procon/Tamiya parts are interchangeable but not many. I own the H&S Infinity CR+ 0.2mm, Badger SOTAR 20/20*, and both the Procon PS-270 & 289 so not biased in any one direction.
Perfect solution… Thanks for the tip!
You’re welcome. Although this video is several years old and the drawers are much more expensive now.
@ Yeah, I figured… If they even still sell those anymore. I think they update their catalog every year. Oh well… A day late and a dollar short (story of my life;-).
Eduard must have figured that since this is for the Revell Tornado…an “extra” challenge would be par for the course. I wish we could get a Tamiya Tornado!
c'est vrai il y a une trop grosse différence de prix le Revell avec les addon's revient moins cher et entre gr1set 4 il n'y a pas de grosses différences. il suffit de se documenter sur le net c'est opulence .par contre les addon pour le cockpit sont chers surtout chez quinta j'ai les eduard look qui sont moitié prix cela suffit largement A force de vendre les addon's presque aussi cher qu'une maquette de base cela va ecoeurer les modéliste, ça devient un loisirs de riches. J'ai le f-16 c d'academy au 1/32 payé 70 euros il y a 10 ans, le tamiya valais déjà 130 euros, là aussi avec les addons il m'est revenu mois cher de40 euros à l'époque J crois que les importateurs se sucrent.
My friend Jerry Witts (RIP) flew Luscious Lizzie in the Gulf. He was a Wing Commander then, but retired an Air Commodore.
Hi did you ever build the jeep with the resin conversion ??? I built the jeep with no issues but i had many problems with the resin parts from sol, the instructions were horrible just caveman type pictures with no real clear clue where parts go , then an issue with size of the extra rear wheel it was smaller then the kit wheel and i feel the vickers were smaller in scale and so was the 50 cal. The kit i bought had the twin vickers pintal mount which was shorter, but then i realized it was way off when i tried to have the figure lean on the gun as in the picture. For the price of the jeep and the conversion and the figures it doesn’t add up
Nope, every time I took it out of box, I couldn’t be bothered with it and put it back to build an aircraft.
@@RWHobbiesim sorry. Im about two months into it i just have to finish the figures. I hope one day you can get back into it. Thank you for listening.
@ yeah, sorry. Not attempted it. Hearing your feedback, I may just sell
I just got a procon platinum as a gift, as I have been always eyeing an Iwata for a long time, so I appreciate the commentary on the differences, did not know they came from the same factory!
It is a great brush. I have used them for years.
That drop tank looks nice and grimy.
Why thank you
Awesome 👌
Thanks
You didn`t have to worry about the seam line on the JP233 as it came in two parts anyway.
🤷♂️
hi Richie belated Christmas, i hope you had a wonderful day with the family - good progress coming along so well, cheers Liam
Hello Liam. Happy Holidays to you too.
Just got my kit the other day. Great kit overall but I am disappointed that they do not have a flaps up option like they do with the A and B. I really thought that would be how this kit would be.
The kinetic mrap is a little on the chunky side. The gaps in the doors and hood are huge. Bronco does a challenging version themselves with far better fit and accuracy
Can't wait to see how that Stadium turns out even though it isn't really my cup of tea. Hope you enjoy your holidays and can't wait to see more content in the new year.
Thank you. Same to you
I would love a Dodger stadium of something like this. Did you say you had a link?
thangs.com/designer/Micropolitan/collection/MLB%20STADIUMS%20COLLECTION-72590
Thanks for the update Richie. That Kinetic MRAP thing looks interesting. I didn't even know that Kinetic did 1/35 stuff. The Facebook Group? I guess it depends on whether you want to continue featuring some of our builds in your update videos in the future. I guess FB is the only way for you to get our photos of our builds etc. Apart from maybe messages on Patreon etc.
Thank you for the videos Richie, have a really great Christmas!
You too
I just got this kit and I'm super confused as to why the box says Level 5 while the manual says Level 3. Any ideas?
Levels make no sense anyhow. I think it is just parts count.
Thanks for another great video. I got my kit last week here in Japan. Another masterpiece from Tamiya.
Agreed, I hope Tamiya can produce more modern jet kits as they are all great.
Airbrush at a cut price from that marketplace? Absolutely don't do that. More often than not, they are fake; simple test - if you can find it on Ali Ex (and you can find many Iwatas there) then only buy from a reputable dealer. As for Gaahleri & Neoeco, I wouldn't touch them at all just on principle with they way they've dumped them on YT channels..
The marking options are GREY, GREY, GREY and GREY lol. I would do the one that has the MARINES markings in RED to get a bit of colour on it.
Agreed. A little pop of color makes the difference. But with some corrosion weathering you can make them look visually interesting. Also may be a shooter figure in the yellow or deck staff around the jet in color shirts.
am still waiting for release in UK looks amazing. Might be an idea to display it over a mirror to see all that weapons bay detail!
Good idea!
I’m surprised they didn’t fix the panels when they made a new mould
The marketing said improved surface detail. However looks the exact same to me. Still a great kit though.
@RW Hobbies do not sand the canopy seams. They are intentional because the represent the detonation cord for the canopy ejection system you use thr seams as a guide for decal placement.
good call. thanks
Some truly excellent builds Ritchie! Very well done on such a productive year 👍🏼
Thank you sir and appreciate your support
Can i use regular tamiya extra thin cement
No, white PVA glue thinned
Thanks, what about regular wood glue.
@ I don’t understand. You spent all this money on a kit, aftermarket, paints and you want to cheap out and save $1-2 and risk it. Just follow the instructions and use what they recommend. Then there is no worry or drama.
Hi, glues you are using are not available in my country, that is the reason for my question. Thank you for your time.
@@mrbutwhyme9941 any craft store should have it. The white glue you use at school for crafts. If it is thick just add a drop of water to thin it a little. Extra thin is a welding glue for plastic. It melts both sides to create a join. So should not be used for this application.
Kit missing SONAR reeling macine and housing for the cabin.
Great to see all your work this year...my favourites are the Hurricane, Mig-25 and F-14. It would be a hard choice if I had to pick one, but that Hurricane is a beaut! 😊
Thanks, it is a good kit. Shame they dropped the ball on the recent releases.
Fantastic work M8. I only built 3 this year. A 1/48 macchi 1/16 Panzer 3 1/24 Escort Mk 2.
Thanks buddy, have a great weekend
Some great builds there Richie. I have only completed 3.5 kits this year lol. The half finished kit being the classic Tamiya 8 ton Semi Track AA gun. I have completed the Semi Track. But still have to paint up the 5 crew figures. Keep putting them off because I am crap at figure painting.
I got better at figure painting by watching WarHammer videos and Sarastro. Learning about highlights and shading.
The surface detail on the Hurricane is astounding!! All your builds are exceptional!!
Thanks buddy
These parts work kits look great, but the waiting would drive me insane lol. Imagine if Miniart part works the P-47 😂😂😂
If I didn’t have to do the videos, I would just stack all the parts up and then binge build it at the end of the 2 years when I have it all.
You need to glue the parts on?
Yes
@ is there a special glue for it?
@AlexKrantsevich yes, I have over 600 videos on my channel. If you watch some build series you will see exactly what products I use. I would recommend some of that more recent ones as my product choices change over time.
@ in fact go back 5-6 years. I remember I did a video just about glues.
@@RWHobbies Ok, and was the assembly hard?
Looks really good! But you are right in that it's a bit hard to tell the difference between the camo colors, the worn down look is still pretty cool regardless
Looking great
Thank you
Building into a nice Tornado! Really wish that a better kit would come around, a Tamiya Tornado? Ha! German engineering, really overly complicated for no need. What modeler doesn’t like a challenge!
Amen
The drawers are now $189.99 :/
😱
Maybe one to add to your next Temu order Richie...search for Silicone Craft Mats. I use one to line the base of my spray booth. It's good as your not burning through paper towel and van chuck it in the dishwasher or hand wash it - comes out like new. Also traps overspray dust kind of well.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Good Lord. That's a big @ss kit. 💯
what additional materials not included in the original kit should I buy to correctly apply the decals?
Whatever your chosen decal solution is. I am currently using Solvaset. Any of them will work. Whatever your local hobby store has.
Hi, I wanted to give this Revell kit I've bought on amazon to a friend of mine as a gift; since he has no modeling tools (such as paint, glue, or any other instrument you're using), could you please give me a list of the basic additional things I should buy for him to be able to build a good model? Thanks
I have a whole studio of tools. Bare minimum need some Tamiya extra thin glue, some nippers and some sanding sticks. This is quite an advanced kit for a beginner. I would recommend starting with a modern and cheap Airfix or Tamiya kit for $20.
Dolla tree specials?🤣 Chitty chitty ol bamboo?😳 Jman
I saw in an other video you are the owner of a cricut. I am wondering why you did not create painting masks for the insignia ?
Sometimes it is too much time or too difficult to create custom masks.
@@RWHobbies I hoped it was just scanning the decal and use this as a template for the mask. But I understand it is not so easy 😪
@ no, I have videos about creating custom masks on both the Cricut and Silhouette. Not just scanning, you have to create a .svg in Inkscape. Remove background, import it, size it etc.
@@RWHobbies I will have a look, thx for the quick reply 👍
The brush cleaner does seem a bit stupid but so glad I got one. Well worth having.
Lol - I got the brush cleaner as well. Found it last year on Amazon...felt silly buying it but actually good tool!
