Tamiya 1/48 F-35A Scale Model Full Build
The Tamiya 1/48 F-35A scale model is a fantastic kit! This build was a lot of fun and I got to try out a few new techniques. I also added some missile launches and an afterburner glow! Let me know what you think!

Tamiya 1/48 U.S. Modern 4x4 Cargo Vehicle
มุมมอง 1.3Kปีที่แล้ว
I built this small Tamiya 1/48 Modern U.S. Cargo Vehicle to go with my airport diorama that I made in my last video. I even added lights to it! The kit is very well engineered and is easy to put together but I am not sure I did it justice with my painting skills. Still so much to learn!

Building A 1/48 Learjet Diorama!
มุมมอง 3.3K2 ปีที่แล้ว
I built the Hasegawa 1/48 Learjet model kit and created my very first diorama on this channel! I try out some new tools like the Anycubic Mono X 3d printer and soldered some LED's. Let me know what you think! I learned how to program arduino boards from @OstrichLongneck. Check out his channel to learn more about how to do it!

AMK F-14D VX-9 1/48 Scale Model Build Part 2: The Finale
มุมมอง 14K2 ปีที่แล้ว
The epic conclusion to my 1/48 Scale Model Build of the AMK F-14D with the VX-9 paint scheme. This build was the longest and most complex model I have ever built. I had to break it up in several parts, so it isn't quite a step by step video, but I hope you like it! Let me know what you think!

Hey everyone, here is the first part of my latest build. This 1/48 AMK F-14D model kit box was signed by the Sio from AMK models! I used Quinta Studio cockpit decals on this and I think they turned out really well. This build was the longest and most complex model I have ever built.

First time ever building a Tamiya kit. Wow what an experience! I worked on trying to develop some skills I have learned from other modelers here on TH-cam. This was a great learning experience! I will definitely be building more tanks and more Tamiya kits! Fantastic build for beginner modelers! Here are the links to some of the products I got for this build!

F-16 Thunderbird Full Build - Revell 1/48
มุมมอง 15K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Welcome to the first video on my channel! This Revell F-16 kit was a lot of work, especially for an inexperienced modeler like myself. Although it is not a Tamiya or Hasegawa kit, the overall shape seems to turn out ok. Here's to hoping I get better with every upload. Let me know what you think!
nice job!!! but why AIM-7?
What's the glue type?
Amazing work. I love the creativity. Would you ever consider making one of these again to sell? I would love to buy one!
This is Awesome. Some more ideas. Make one with some green Cockpit lighting. Add the Position Lights (though they might not be realistic while fighting) and you could use some overwing vortex condensation strips to fixate the Model with wire in the Air. Or the end tip of the Afterburner, to avoid the black pillar below. Still your Model is remarkably awesome!!!❤
What do you put to get the decals to stay on permanently?
9:10 you should have turned it 180 degrees.
Good job
My first thought was to unscrew and remove the film like an ointment
Just finished it, kind of, couldn't be arsed in the end, 'orrible, 'orrible, 'oribble.
Hi - may I offer some well intended feedback? I really enjoyed the build and your commentary BUT oh that music!!! In my option, it was way too dramatic and loud (particularly as you have a soft voice). In the end I muted your video and turned on the subtitles. Great work on the model BTW!!
Dude that music is too much - something less dramatic and half the sound level would keep me focussed on what you are doing. Just my view. Thanks for your video!
Love your honesty about the faux pas. As long as you learn from it, you'll get better. I've been building kits for 50+ years. In my opinion, it looks fantastic. keep it up
That is so funny how you didn't even say anything after you farted. I'd have done the same thing!
It just looks brrrrrrrrrrrrt ❤
This is overall really impressive, I love the afterburner. Just one thing, I don't think F35s use sparrow missiles, pretty sure it's only amraams.
Be more positive with your self. Your model building and finishing will get better with experience and time. This kit should pose no problems. It’s incredibly engineered and has beautiful slide mouldings incorporated. Fabulous looking model, great job👍
Wow, must have had a Friday afternoon castoff, only fitted the first 4 seat pieces and already hating this model - such bad fitting, not a good start, hope things improve!
😎👍Very totally very cool and very nicely greatly spectacularly wonderfully looking on a job very nicely fabulously well done indeed Sir!👌.
im just wondering, how the hell do you have Radar missiles (the Aim-7 Sparrows) from a A-10 build? The A-10 doesnt even have a radar to use the radar missiles.
I’m building that kit now. I have that tamiya kit, it is a beautiful kit. After building tamiya, you kinda get spoiled. 😅. All minor issues with the Revell kit. Biggest gripe is that they only give you one number option. I wanted number 5, just because it’s upside down. It came out nice in the end. Key thing is, Never give up.
The afterburner shock diamonds look pretty good, but no bro, not the Sparrow ones!!! Do the following, remove the AIM-7s with cotton and place the AMRRAMs in the weapons compartment. Freezes the moment the bays open.
Nice work, had to bit of actual modeling this time. LOL. Could have been worse right, imagine if it were an old AIRFIX kit.
Awesome work. Those stinking cockpit decals can be a pain. I do everything I can to paint the cockpit instead of decals. Did they update the cockpit on this model? Everyone I have looked at has been the A-10A cockpit, not the A-10C. Incredibly frustrating.
My issue with this tube was that the stamped rear end of the tube will literally explode if you have a blockage in the plastic tube. It must have been a really poor quality tube as I applied barely any pressure.
I'm sold on the spectacular descriptions alone from 1:35 😅
I love F-16 model kits of any brands!
You could cut the fins of the Sparrow to fit the AMRAAM ones
I think the inside of the shermans were white. I paint inside as beat as i can my tanks their interior colours.
Dide i got the version with the die cas chassis!! Its unreal
That nose pylon attaches to the fuselage via two holes drilled out in the early steps of the instructions. With the pilot, I had to file down the instrument panel to fit him in. I'm busy painting my A-10 now and have left off basically all the pylons, tail and engines to paint separately - with so many nooks and crannies in this aircraft, it's easy to get paint pooling.
Great video ! I have never had a pilot fit the cockpit. Always had to amputate legs. Great results with your build and finish !!
Looking great so far! I personally prefer to use an enamel wash and clean up any excess with White Spirit. Oils are great for blending in highlights and creating streaks, again using White Spirit as needed.
Show
EXCELLENT !!!
Why are they modeling if they can not open a tube ?
Just bought mine yesterday same Academy brand as well so it's nice to see how well you did yours and the tips are much appreciated. This should break up some boredom and I get to hang it next to my P-51 in the garage i built about 15 yrs ago.
full build and very detailed part by part
Felicidades ,es una version muy dificil !
that is amazing
F-it, after watching this I bought a pre-made die cast.
Thats my thing. I want models but Idk if I want to build them, Im not that good at it XD
Looks great! That's better then what a lot of people could do!
You shouldn't talk negative about what you are doing. No one would be able to tell. You paint work was good. It's better then what a lot of people could do.
Just got this kit - one note for the pave penny pod. They call it out as ver 1 in the instructions as an option. There’s two holes to drill that the bumps on the back of the pod line up with.
This isn't a hobby, this is art!
That "antenna piece" is the Pave Penny Pod....
The 1/72 A-10A kit is a piece of garbage... I'll never order any Academy kit again. Every single piece was misshapen and no two pieces fit together. Gaps everywhere, the cockpit wouldn't even fit in the fuselage, and sssoooooo much sanding. I almost broke it so many times getting pieces to pop together even after sanding a ton off of them. Total waste and a huge disappointment for my first kit. Funny thing is despite all the reviews praising how great it was, one review really stuck out to me. The guy said he had to do a crazy amount of sanding and that there were still gaps everywhere. I kind of brushed it off because almost all the reviews were 5 star positive praise. I should have listened to my gut.
I almost forgot. The instructions do not help at all. Very vague and some pictures even show parts backwards or in different places in different pictures. Academy sucks and has put me off buying anything at all from South Korea. Their company alone has soured me on any product from the entire Country.
That's pretty neat 😊👍
I was just about to buy the kit. After watching your movie I changed my mind. With so many issues I will wait for a different brand kit. Sooner or later there will be a good one. I have heared something about a new hobby boss release. Nice build. Cheers
I've built this kit. It really isn't that bad. Most of the problems he mentioned weren't there for me. The only real problem I had was a gap where the fornt part of the fuselage meets with the back part. It was very easy to clean up with some masking tape to ensure I didn't mess up the rivets
Great call my friend, I on the other hand bought it. I'm on the first two sections (about a dozen parts) and I want to throw it in the bin! Badly fitting parts, poor instruction, I hate it - I do this stuff because I find it one of the most relaxing of hobbies but with this kit my stress levels have gone through the roof. I was so looking forward to building this and now couldn't give a fig what it looks like when it's finished - assuming I get that far of course!
Outstanding build
I need that afterburner effect for my 1/72 f16
