Nice vid😊

My step dad got me this kit for as a birthday present when I was 10. It really felt like levelling up after doing 1:72 mainly Airfix kits until then. It went together like a dream by comparison, although I appreciate the limitations of the kit now I do fancy having another go at it. Great build and paint though, even though you don't rate this kit I think the older ones have something to offer.

Thank you...Still learning...Taken every tip I can like a sponge

Thank you for putting this up 3 years ago! This video has really helped me. I've always been too cautious to do my post shading with as much tonal difference as this... which I guess is why mine always look so dark and flat after weathering. Next project, I'm going to try this and go more extreme with the post shading and embrace the 'crapping your pants' moments. Also great to hear a fellow north eastern accent with it. Great job and thank you!

I love this kit and was lucky enough to get it for £23 delivered as a first time customer from Temu (experiment) however it did arrive minus the bonus item and the Pilot.

What a dumbass 😆😆😆

Agree fully with your observations. Build the engine, started the cockpit, but stranded at the seatbelts and dials myself. Back in the box for nearly 2 years now I think. Will it ever come out, I don't know, even though I did buy some aftermarket. Very hesitant to buy more Border Models kits eversince....

Q: At 8psi, are u thinning the paint more ? What ratio ?

What is the air brush PSI for painting the different layers?

just as a vague rule what would you say the ratio of paint to thinner is for the base coat? 1:1....1:0.5??

Great tutorial. I subbed. Thanks for the help. 👍👍

you managed to make it look pretty good . I have in the stash somewhere , l might do it one day

I learned lots. Thank you. 👍👍

I'm gonna give this a go! Wish you had of shown the final results. Thanks

Best aircraft made

Nice video!!! Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant..great talent...I'm trying to find out how I will make a worthy good eye of sauron to go at the top of my 5 foot barad dur I'm making....great video

cheer up mate

Great info and beautiful Buffalo.

I built one in 1983 when I was in high school. It was and always will be my favorite model. I was amazed on how easy the build was for a 17 year old and the detail being clean and crisp. Great model.

So is there a difference when you do a light grey or withe primer first and then shading the panels afterwards ? So the other way round, i mean. I did only the panellines in a dark color.

This is excellent. Thanks for sharing this technique. Subscribed!

Thanks, straight to the point and informative!

Great video and a fab throwback at the beginning. Just finished this model, and apart from some rubbish bits, I still enjoyed the model and basically just had a blast with trying my own colour scheme. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for posting. I just started this kit today.

I've got the itinerary 172 scale rs 3. £20

Id just close up the engine

i was Lucky...Erich Hartmann and Seat Belt 😁

TBH I didn't think that this was a particularly bad kit but I did expect better from Tamiya, I got this and Revell's 1/32 50 years version for £29.99 for the two. Haven't started the Revell tho'

what a grumpy dude. Find another hobby

I hate to sound like the old guy scolding youngsters here, but really? Color call outs? When you have a personal info center (internet) in your home? You don't have to get up, go out to a public library to a book store and buy a book that also takes time and money.

I can understand the dead pilot complaint. Whoever came up with "Let's send them a dead pilot." idea was an idiot. And yes, it being an expensive kit and being limited should not mean you enter a lottery for the extra bits, another stupid idea. However, complaining about having to paint in dials is pretty nit-picky. As an old modeler I've had to paint them in alot in the early days since most the times kits didn't even come with decals for dials. If your skilled enough, painted in dials can look just as good if not better than decals. The problem with current kitbuilders is that they want shortcuts. They have no patience for learning a new skill and improving their building skills. It's hurting the hobby. Might as well buy pre-painted desk models! Where's the fun in that?

Been a painter for a few years but looking to up my game. This and the pre shading video are perfect and just what I've been looking for 👌

Are you in newcastle upon tyne? Im just about to start a wellington from 305 squadron

Food coloring ?? Or Bank Dye Pack ?? 😂 Great kit, and superb build !!

You have already discovered Border Model's big problem ... Really badly designed instructions. Plus they lack color painting guides for mist interiors... and just wait until you get to the colour options and discover the dichotomy between the decals and the options! ALWAYS triple check references and follow a good paint guide like Eduard's 1/48 109 kit or Revell's 1/32 kit instructions which cover that very well indeed.

Great video. Do you take the 'guard' off the nozzle of the airbrush? I heard that helps to create a fine line?

a mediocre video to go with a mediocre kit. fails to properly show the model or the build, constantly zoomed out and washed out

Thank you for sharing your skills and expertise on this procedure. Very informative.

Great tutorial thanks. What’s the paint spray gun and types of paints you used please?

I get what you’re saying about these older Tamiya kits. They are decent enough for beginners but that’s about all they’re good for! Thankfully Tamiya did re-engineer many of these kits starting in the 1990s and they now make some awesome models.

What are you using now they have stopped making the Krycell stuff ?

Stop pre-shading and over washing! It just doesn't look realistic. In for example 1/72 scale, the panel lines should hardly be seen at all!

That's a very tasty build mate. I've got this kit in my stash,and plan to start it over the Xmas holidays. 👍

I enjoyed your video, the start had me laughing out loud. I searched for builds/reviews of this kit as I did have a vague memory of hearing it wasn't too great. Hobbycraft have them for 13 quid. Okay, it has its issues as you say but the price is not too bad. After all that's about the price of a couple of magazines these days! This would be a great subject for Airfix to get their teeth into given the quality of the new stuff they are coming out with. Come on Airfix, as icons of British military aviation is concerned the Falklands Sea Harrier's are way up there. Oh, and I subbed. Take care and happy modeling.

Hi, Thanks for sharing and explaining the build. I have just bought this kit and very interested in the 3D instrument panel upgrade. Please could you point me in the direction on who and where I can get this detail set from please ?

Damned good tutorial, best I've seen in a long time. Rest assured you'll see this procedure on my model railroad. I have a fuel tanker that is derailed into a crash site, NOW I get to add the fire. A BIG THANK YOU sir, gonna 'fire-up' that tanker

Not quite binging the channel but more or less - so good to watch you do the detailing and your laid back approach - the swearing helps me realise that I've got that part down to a similar skill level..!

Amazing - watching this I really wish I had the somewhere near the same sort of skills you have a shown. I will now begin to practice the multiple techniques you've demonstrated and I must get better at airbrushing.! Thank you
