airfix 1/775 (very old tool!) cutty sark part two
had my first experience with less than perfect starter set acrylic paints in this one! nonetheless I soldiered on using alternatives, including household undercoat!

finally got a chance to have a go with my new ghaaleri airbrush, and I'm really impressed with it! its a great airbrush for the price, I would highly recommend it. also, I've decided to give the star destroyer its own video, so it just makes a guest appearance here!

this is a kit i bought from a market stall about 20 years ago, then started building a few years later, it seemed a really terrible kit so it went back in the box unfinished for about 15 years. its time to make things right (literally!)

decided to start finishing these kits individually, because in trying to deal with them all at the same time, it just seems like they are taking forever. so I've got the airfix PAK 40 and blitz truck completely finished, and its turned out to be a nice model, that I've enjoyed building.

firstly, my phone had an update that messed around with some settings, so the first part of this video is in letterbox format! nextly, got the decals on, had a few problems with that, all can be sorted though, then found out my masking had basically ruined the canopy....

For an Airfix kit , that has come up extremely well . good job
Looking good 👍🏻
thanks! it had a bit of an iffy start, but I'm really enjoying this build now.
Great job on the Harrier, it looks wonderful! Keep up with good work! :)
thanks! this kit deserved to have a bit of TLC, it was one of my favourite finished models.
Nice fix on the horizontal stabilizer!
thanks! I wasn't sure if that would actually work, or simply make the tab way too large for the slot!
Cool ⛵
thanks! I'm enjoying this simple build, and testing out some improvements to this channel at the same time.
This is a big kit I'm not sure she will allowed it in the house
oh, it'll be fine, the 1/350 tirpitz, the 1/72 shackletons (yeah I have two!) and the 1/24 hurricane might be a different matter!
The Cutty Sark is a good looking sailing ship. I wish there was a USS Constitution in the same scale…
I don't actually know what scale this is! it doesn't say anywhere on the box or instructions.

Good work 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Looking good! I’ve used a yellow paint marker on my last several 1/72 builds, trying a Gundam yellow marker next…
yeah, paint markers are something I want to check out, I have a bunch of silver pens I use for chipping, using a paint marker to simply draw the tips on sounds a bit easier!
Good job returning a Code 3 (not mission capable) bird back to Code 1 (ready to fly) status! Fun repairing and maybe improving previous builds. Chalk me up in the vintage kit build column. Currently working on the 1/72 Monogram P-51B (1967 tooling) and P-40N (1960 tooling) from the Accurate Miniatures Air Combat Legends 2007 boxing. Pondering whether to add the True Details resin cockpit to both or build as is…
thanks! as I write this reply I am working on a 1963 tooling airfix B 17, my stash of kits is probably about 70% older stuff against newer toolings. I have another project I want to start, then I will most likely turn my attention to the Bf 110
Good fix sir 👍 defo want to see 👀 110 build.
thanks! that harrier was always a favourite build of mine, it was about time i gave it some TLC!
Restored and back in service. Nice job
yeah, it deserved to be sorted out after all this time
Very good job! nice idea with mirror , i have to get stand like Your one!!
the stand is a tamiya item called a spray work painting stand set, you get the stand in my video, with some clips to hold stuff and another stand that has two spring loaded wires used to paint car body shells with.
Hi Phil. A nice job , you took your time though. They named the Hampden "The Flying Suitcase" because the three man crew were crammed in. I think that the fuselage was only 3'wide ! Bloody narrow. Cheers bud.
that gives me an idea, maybe now I've built a flying suitcase, maybe I should build one of the two flying pencil kits I have!
Hi Phil, Cool model 🛩
thanks! I'm very happy with how this turned out, I seem to be getting the hang of this modelling lark!
Nice build!
thanks! it certainly took long enough!
Your intro 😂😂😂👍🏻
yeah, I'm a big rik mayall fan! couldn't resist using that as an intro.
I look forward to the sequel.
yeah! I have a feeling this will be an interesting build to say the least!
Good tip
Glad you liked it
Looking good mate 👍
thanks! I've been enjoying building something different.
Bravo sir! Fine build. And RIP Roy Cross. His work sold the kits on their own.
thanks! I've always said that Roy personally sold me many kits over the years!
@@philsmodelmaking2260 Me too. I remember buying the Hampden, and was so enthralled by the box art I walked straight into a lamp post on the way home. I must have been 14. Happy days.
Good work sir 👍
thanks! this is a great little kit that I really enjoyed building.
Putting the yellowed decals in the sun to bleach them out ?? I didn't know that was possible !! Clever idea !! Thanks for the tip. 😊
it certainly is possible, a lot of my builds are older kits from the 70's, and being able to bleach decals is a really handy trick to have at your disposal, just simply leave them in a window (I've sometimes taped them to the glass) preferably one that catches the sun, for as long as it takes to bleach out the yellowing, and you're good to go.
I also made one vintage p-80c a few weeks ago. While I spent time on scribing panel lines, this kit is actually beautiful considering its silver fuselage and the decent decal.
I did think about re scribing mine, sort of wish I did, but as you say it does look great straight out of the box
Good job! Luckly wheel fall in hole and it wasnt detroy after carton box fall! This model kit looks great!
i know! one moment of clumsiness could have messed up weeks of work! the model itself is quite sturdy and can take an anti aircraft box and still complete its mission!
Nice build!
thank you, its a cracker of a kit, and well deserving of its recent re-issue
GOOD JOB , THINK I SAW IT ON THE AIRFIX FACEBOOK GROUP , JUST DID IT MYSELF, GOOD TO SEE THE UN ALTERED ROY CROSS ARTWORK , IT JUST LOOKS SAD WITHOUT THE BOMBS AND FLAK
hi! yeah I watched your video of your build last week, and I commented about how much better the new version of the decals were. don't think mines been on facebook though, but there are a lot of people building this kit at the moment.
Nice paint on the hampden
thanks! I really ought to completely finish it!
Hi Phil. Its a nice little kit but as you have said there's no glazing. Its do-able but its a pain. Anyway nice job. Regards.
yeah it was a nice build, at some point I'm going to make a start on some of the old airfix R.A.F. airfield vehicles. i have all three sets, recovery, emergency and re fuelling.
@@philsmodelmaking2260 Hi Phil. I have just recently done a job on the fire tender , I converted it into a tractor unit and then attached it to the Queen Mary recovery trailer. I then converted the original tractor unit into a covered truck. A lot of scratchbuilding was done. I have put a V2 missle on the trailer. I saw a picture of one on a Q.M. trailer. I will do a Ice Cold in Alex job on the ambulance. Not the reversing up the hill bit. Thats been done before. Good luck bud.
Hi Phil. A nice looking little kit. Maybe you should have put a light on so that we could see the camoflage a bit clearer. As for the panel line well bearing in mind that it is predominately blue/grey then a darker grey wash would have been better. Black is a bit harsh I think. Just need to buy a decal sheet of swastika's to make it look authentic or maybe you have some in your decal stash. Anyway a nice build, well done. Now its off to the hanger for this one. Good luck.
yeah I get what you're saying about the light, I took some still photos on a wooden neutral background I made that are a lot clearer and stuck them on the end of the video, as for the panel liner and washes, this kit was genuinely the first time I have used oils on a kit, so so I didn't want to go too bonkers with any of them, I definitely had fun using them, so its just a case of building up my experience and confidence with them.
Nice looking 109!
thanks! took me a while to get there, I'm definitely happy with the end result.
Your G-6 is looking good! I’ve been using Tamiya spray can caps to stabilize my Micro Set & Sol bottles. The inner diameter on some of the caps is a skosh larger than the bottle.
good idea! I do have some tamiya spray cans, I'll look into using them for set and sol.
With a new canopy, that 109 will look quite good.
its got a new canopy on, and is actually finished now, I'm about to make an end of project video now! it has turned out really nice if I say so myself!
Hi Phil. I have built this kit and I know that there is a moulded line on the tail and on the wings too. A man with your talents must surely been able to paint to that line. Those lines are the de-icing boots that were fitted to all American bombers during the war. A little tip for you. If you go to a motor garage where they do tepaints or a motor factors store the sell a tape of various widths which is a very soft kind of plastic. They use it in garages when they need to mask off an area of a car before repainting it. Ask in a garage and they will show it to you so you will know what I mean. I have been dipping in and out of this build and have enjoyed it. So good luck and I look forward to seeing how you get on. Well done bud.
hello Brian, you're right, there are moulded on lines for the de icing boots on the wings and tailplane, and looking at my example, the rivets do stop on the empennage right where the boot line should be (its what I used to line up the flexi tape in the first place) so I actually shone a light over the tail which does show up an extremely faint line there, it looks like over time the moulds have gotten worn and some detail has been lost, the smaller clear parts have certainly suffered from this, and the larger clear parts have no frame lines whatsoever, as regards the tape, I have about 6 rolls of that auto detailing tape in various widths, i will probably be using some of that on the wings to paint the blue "V" and yellow wing tips. and finally, I'm glad you're enjoying what I'm doing, and I genuinely appreciate your kind words, thanks!
THis is a superb product and I have used it for years in so many situations. My I also suggest artist's drawing gum (aka masking fluid)
too right! I do have a bottle of that which I use for masking too (and its cheaper than dedicated modelling liquid mask!)
Looks cool.
its gradually getting there!
Да...эти волшебные маленькие коробочки из 70 - х....😢😂
для меня в детстве это определенно было волшебством, и эти удивительные произведения искусства на коробках, безусловно, были частью этого!
Congrats!
By Christmas you will have + 1000 subs 😎🇬🇧
Nice 😊
Nice job........But nobody is really going to ever see the cockpit PE, or most of the other details.
I know! I have to say if I had known how good this kit is I honestly wouldn't have bothered with any p/e, but thats the sort of thing us modeller like to do!
A wonderful tribute, I remember building that back in 1975. I always have problems with Airwaves PE sets, you are not alone.
yeah, this is maybe my third kit with an airwaves set, and they are good in that they cover older, even out of production kits, but usually need quite a bit of fettling!
I built that when I was eight years old 😊
you know, when I build these old kits now, I sometimes wonder how on earth I managed to build them when I was around eight years old!
Have this edition as well to build , just finished the hasegawa t33 from the same year (1973)
will that be a video? I'd be interested to see that being built.
A good old kit. Thanks for putting it online.
its my pleasure, I can't sing this kits praises high enough.
Built that kit 1.5 years ago. Nice 1/72 scale F-80C. Microscale 72-270 decals to represent the 25FIS/51TFW “Strip-N-Stare” (nice pin-up gal!) operating out of Suwon AB, ROK, 1951. Your build is looking good, that photoetch enhances the cockpit!
thanks! this kit is turning out to be my favourite build this year!
I love this old kit and your doing a great job with it. 👏
Thanks a bunch! I've really enjoyed building this from the start.
Hi. There's nothing wrong with block building,its the easiest way to do it if your working on the same vehicle. I,ve got three GMC triple deuces on the go at the moment. Then its time for individual detailing work. Persevere my friend , you will get there in the end.
absolutely! I've really enjoyed building these kits, its something a little different subject wise and the are all nice kits, at the moment though I really need to get other builds finished first, the B 17 and I'm also working on a couple of tribute builds that will be complete videos rather than a series, then I can turn my attention back to these kits.
That looks real good. I did my de-icing boots by hand. Its quicker and easier. A little tip for you is to watch a signwriter. He uses a stick with a cloth bundle on the end. He then places it near the subject and uses it as a stabiliser for his brush hand. I have nearly finished my version of this aircraft. I might have to revisit the seams, but I will see how bad they are. Good vid and a good build so far.
thats called a mahl stick, I've been in the decorating trade for forty years, the gaffer's dad when I started, at that point semi retired, had been a champion signwriter at national level just after world war two. I've managed to find some tamiya masking tape for curves I forgot I bought! it will easily bend to match the profile of the tail, I will show its use in my next update
