Thank you 👍 I appreciate it 🙂

That's great 👍 Yeah a tougher scheme but satisfying when finished. You'll get a good result, at first I was going to mask it all at once but small sections is much easier and less to go wrong I think. Good luck on your build and thank you for watching 🎅

Cheers 🙂 thanks for watching 👍

Thank you 👍Yeah I think I've seen the Junglie with collectors coin available for pre-order. There's a few kits I've got and want to start once I get some time off work, been a while.....I've missed it.

Thank you 👍

Thank you 👍 I just washed the kit first with soapy water which helps, let it dry and gave the model a coat of Tamiya nato black (multiple coats if it doesn't cover completely). Or primer will do to help the colour coats stick to the surface. Good luck and enjoy your build 👨🏻‍🔧 thanks for watching

Thank you 👍 Yes instructions included are quite good and easy to follow 🙂

@@MrWhiteScaleModelsThanks I bought the kit and im having fun building it

Thank you 👍 I was always building tanks so this was the first Spitfire I'd done at the time. All parts were great, colour scheme I agree nice with the light blue etc and I'm definitely a fan of Airfix box art too 👍 quite a cheap kit considering how good it is.

Thank you 👍 good luck with yours, definitely a nice kit to build.

Yeah good idea 👍 must admit the white took a couple of coats to cover when I did this. Cheers for watching 🙂

It was quite difficult, alot of the parts don't line up well but with a bit of patients, filler, sanding sponge etc it should turn out OK 👍 I almost gave up twice but took a break then got back into it. Plenty dry fitting needed

@@MrWhiteScaleModels cheers for the quick reply, i hope the model turns out okay 👍👍

Thank you 👍 I almost gave up a few times to be honest. Apparently the Airfix kit is a good one, I'm going to give it a go once I get the time. Cheers for watching

Thank you 👍 It took alot of messing around with them to be honest, eventually got a good fit but put my patients to the test 😄

Thank you 👍 Enjoyed doing the paint job but I was pleased when it was over 😄

At some point I'd like to build the Airfix kit see how the 2 compare. Thanks for watching 👍 I appreciate it 🙂

Thank you 👍 I appreciate it

Thank you 👍 I applied the matt varnish at the end of the build

Yes, through handling I must of knocked the landing gear out of the hole. I realised this after uploading the video, I need to be more careful in future

@@MrWhiteScaleModelsIt looks like the left/right gear was accidentally switched during placement. But a great video for my reference as I just picked up a Mk.Vc and will start it shortly.

Thank you 👍 After recording and uploading the video, I noticed I had knocked the landing gear out of place a bit probably through handling the model. The landing gear should be slightly more inwards.

Cheers 👍

Thank you 👍 I did start to wonder why I'd chosen this paint scheme so far in 😁 but got there in the end. Thanks for watching

Cheers 👍

Thank you 👍 quite enjoyed painting it but pleased when I reached the end 😅

Thank you 👍 Yeah a full roll of masking tape, alot of peeling bits off because I wasn't happy and re-doing them 😅 Cheers mate I appreciate it

@@MrWhiteScaleModels You're welcome, my friend.

Thank you 👍 Cheers for watching 📺

Thank you 👍 a full roll of masking tape later 😁

@@MrWhiteScaleModels Im sure! 🤣

Thank you 👍

@@MrWhiteScaleModels most welcome good sir.👍👍👍

Is it the best Sea king kit in 1/72?​@@MrWhiteScaleModels

I think it's up there, parts all fit pretty good, bit of fiddling when closing up the fuselage but I'd definitely recommend this kit. I knew the paint job would be a challenge but didn't expect it to take the time it did, got there eventually 😅

@@MrWhiteScaleModels indeed you dud.was looking at the S.A.R version of the kit

Thank you 👍

Hello mate, yes I used a gloss varnish before and after applying the decals then a matt varnish at the end but was quite surprised when the decals still had the silvering effect. I think maybe next time I will look for an aftermarket set of decals. Thank you for your comment 👍 and thanks for the advice.

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind, usually I do coat the build generously (gloss coat) but given the size of this model some areas may be uneven. I appreciate the advice 👍 I prefer things pointed out to help me improve. Thanks again and cheers for watching 📺

Definitely a pleasure to build and getting a glimpse of what these machines were like back then 👍

Thank you 👍

The instructions say 2009 but I did seem like an old kit when building it. I was reading something online says Revell released the Avro Lancaster B1/3 (non Dambusters version) in 2007 but not sure if this is the same tool.

Thank you 👍 Patience was wearing thin at times but managed in the end. Yeah I quite enjoy the sprue trick, I think it was TH-cam where I seen it done a while ago.

The instructions say 2009 but I'm not sure if it's maybe an older kit re-boxed. I did get the feel of an old kit when building it. I read somewhere the Revell Avro Lancaster B1/3 in 1/72 (non Dambusters version) was a new tool 2007.

Thank you 👍

Yeah I agree 👍 I was looking at a Spitfire 1/24 kit not long ago and got a bit of a shock

@@MrWhiteScaleModels Started with an Airfix Typhoon in a plastic bag from Woolworths. Half a crown (2/6, 12 1/2 p) pocket money. A new generation won't take up modelling at today's prices.

12 1/2p I understand why this used to be alot more popular. The 1/24 Spitfire I was looking at cost £95, I opted for another kit a quarter of the price. Also I miss Woolworths, I was in there every other day as a kid.

Thank you 👍 I'll definitely be having a go of the Airfix kit at some point, I've heard alot of good things about it. I had no idea about the u/side of the fuselage on this kit. Thanks for the info

Thank you 👍

Thank you 👍 I used superglue in most places and sometimes scratched a bit paint off where the parts would join together and used regular cement (if enough space to do this without it being visible). Cement doesn't work very well on painted surfaces.

Thank you 👍 yeah had the gloss varnish and left it 2 days before applying the decals. I think that's what frustrated me the most I followed the usual routine but no luck with these ones 😞 I'll be looking for an aftermarket decal set next time 😁

Hi there, it's something I wish I had done looked for a third party decal set but it wasn't until these decals had dried (overnight) I noticed the cloudy look. I should really of done a little more research into the original set and asked people who had built this kit. To be honest I complain about the masking but do quite enjoy it 😁 although I've never tried the paint pens I'll give them a shot at some point in future. Couple of areas I think if I'd of took my time a bit more I could of improved but overall apart from the decals I was happy enough with the outcome. Oh yes I know what you mean, when I started modelling it was because I noticed a decent kit for 15 quid and thought 'that's a cheap enough hobby, I'll start modelling'......down the line after buying all the things required I got a bit of a shock. That's one of my downfalls, I'll start a kit then realise into the build I'm out of Nato Black or thinners etc and have to keep going out to grab things. I could be a little more organised that's something I'm going to try and improve on. I wish you good luck with your builds mate 👍 thank you for the comment and watching the video.

Thank you 👍 cheers for watching.

Thank you 🙂 Must admit I was slightly nervous peeling off that masking tape at the end

Thank you 👍 had to have a few days break from modelling after that 😁

The main thing was the decals i was unhappy with, I still think about those and how disappointed I was......I'm a bit like that. Few areas maybe didn't show on camera but I thought could of turned out better. The turrets are meant to be held in place by a couple of parts but mine kept falling out. They sit in the correct place with the fuselage closed up but I superglued them as I was wither gonna break or lose them. I appreciate it 👍 thank you for the comment.

Yes good point, I did come across a few photos of the same plane which looked a slightly different shade. But like you say alot of things can play a part in that - age, digital photo etc. Agreed 👍 some fun to be had mixing the paints, I was actually stood in the model shop holding the dark earth for 10 minutes wondering do I buy it or keep mixing. I'll give those Vallejo Model Air paints a go at some point, I've never used them before. I like the Ocean grey, a nice colour with that blue tint, I mixed some for the Spitfire I did but the result was maybe a bit too blue also. That did come to mind when finishing this model, I'd of liked to have another build on the go which I'll probably do next time and switch between the 2. Yes I'm still thinking about those decals 😁 if I'd of known I would of looked into some aftermarket but know for next time. I'm currently on with my next build (Airfix) and when putting a few of the decals on the inside it felt great having no issues. With the ones from this build still on my mind I had a bit of decalphobia I think. Thanks for the advice 👍 I appreciate it and good luck with mixing the Ocean grey I'm sure your result will be spot on in the near future.

@@MrWhiteScaleModels decalphobia 🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I've seen a couple of great videos of people brush painting this model, turned out nice. Only reason I add the gloss varnish is for the dark wash to flow along the panel lines easier. I add matt varnish on builds at the end before removing masking tape from canopy etc

Cheers 👍 I was maybe a bit harsh when saying "not the worst but not the best" bit of time and decent kit just terrible decals

@@MrWhiteScaleModels thanks...noted!
