Great vid. Thanks.

If you use strictly Vallejo products it’s possible to weather without a gloss varnish.

I covered the whole plane!! didn't wipe any off, ended up with a darker plane 🤣🤣🤣

Great stuff just started building this and these videos are great helps you stop making mistakes

Question: I've used Tamiya panel line wash on a varnished model and nothing will remove the wash except a paint remover which as you guested it removes the paint if I am not careful. However, nothing else will remove the wash from the model. I have watched many people do what you did but in my experience your technique doesn't work. Could you inform me of what I may be doing wrong and what I should be doing? What kind of wash?

im am prepping for my first plane model, ive seen people talking about varnish, after i finish the paint should i do this, or use some sorta varnish first then do this?

Thank you very much for sharing this great tip. I need to restore some lost texture on the clothing on a large scale figure and this looks just what I'm looking for. Vallejo Plastic Putty ordered!

Basically did exactly what you did in this video. Disaster!! The top coat will not come off at all. Now what?? Help please.

good on you for doing this but without being in normal time minus commentary and a closer view, I cant gleen any useful info on doing my build of the same model.

Hi,i just want to say that you haven’t post in long time

What colour was the interior?

I like Airfix aircraft kits, but i don't like their mostly too deep panel lines and the very soft plastic material.

Thanks for the video. I will need to try it out. Have you used the hair spray method? If so, which do you like the best? I have been using the hair spray method for ten years now. A few years ago I found a more expensive hair spray works better.

Smashing video set, I just finished my Welly as well. If you haven't already in your future video's please tell us what paints, stains or washes you're using in each stage? Once again great build!

Matt varnish?

Did you apply a gloss varnish in between the last one and this one

Please reply!

HELP! I’m building this and really need to know if the props are supposed to spin!

Great, can you give me a recommendation for the best air brush?

Great video, i have recently bought this kit and am up to the stage where i have just finished the tedious job of hand painting each individual metal bar of the fuselage. I am happy to find someone who made it and uploaded all the videos so will watch all of them gradually starting now!

There is also the Vulcan bomber being released again for 2021

I'm building this atm, thanks.

The new man cave looks awesome mate. Best of luck with your new website, looking forward to your new content. Keep up the good work 👍

Boys Play with toys my name's Sammy...

Doing this kit at the moment. Gone together really well. I was impressed with the positive fix for the interior bulkheads sometimes they can be a bit hit and miss to aline but not here. Building it alongside an Eduard 1/72 Mk VIII. Obviously the Airfix kit is nowhere near as detailed, but for my skills, and eyesight that's fine. And as you say, any plane with a shark mouth is bad ass

Nice review and even better beard lmao

Another nice video. The Spitfire looks pretty good. I had the same aircraft from airfix in 1/48th scale in same tropical scheme RAF. It's a very attractive scheme. The yellow circle around US markings were for Operation Torch.

Great looking kits! Can’t wait to tear into the Wellington. Got to love the kits manufactured in the free world. Tamiya and Airfix !! Won’t spend my cash on any chi com slave labor kits!

Shame the Mossie isn’t in 1/48 scale

Awesome mancave :)

Awesome collection behind you :))

Just built mine in the South African colours and it went together really easily. The build is really nice - it's well-engineered except for the wing root fit and the closed canopy, which obscures the interior. To be fair, though, the wing root joint filled quite easily and you can't really see it on mine. I just wish that there was a bit more exterior detail like rivets. Mine is sitting on the same shelf as AZ and Tamiya 109s and an Eduard Profipack FW190 and it looks a bit toy-like in comparison. In terms of build, though, it's much easier than the KP V or the Eduard IX, which makes it a good beginner kit/mojo builder/group build kit. Decals are good and there is scope for more schemes. Would definitely buy a Vb version in a British scheme, if they made one.

im just finishing my one of these up, working on the battle of britain memorial flight at the moment. I ballsed up the propellor on the silver spitfire but im not downhearted and looking forward to getting stuck into the lancaster

Nice, thanks. Don’t believe in editing? 🙂

Good review. My sons just finished one and he felt the plastic was a bit flimsy. I've just ordered two,so I'll find out soon, I do mainly 48 scale but felt the need to get this as I like the tropical scheme. I would like to do Douglas barders spitfire VC. I'm sure there decals out there although all I need is a D B code on the side. I see now they have got rid off the fuel cap hole that was in the mk1a. It looks like it goes together like the 48 scale one. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for this good in-box review. I have two of these, but haven't built yet. I'm almost finished with a Kovozávody Prostějov mk Vc. Comparing that to this Airfix spit, KP has finer and crisper surface detail. Airfix has typical soft and a bit crude surface detail. But it is better engineered, and I'm sure will be a much more enjoyable build. You are right, the Cartograf national insignias are usually a bit thick in these Airfix kits.

Hi,just wanted to say watched your presentation most impressed thanks

What an excellent channel; waaaaay better than that flory bloke. Never seems to bloody build anything either. And you can speak properly. Keep up the great work! 👍 edit; and you're happy to have comments! Deckles/deeeecals; I go old school and call them transfers 😉

I know I will be very much in the minority here, but my personal opinion on the Airfix 2021 releases: Zzzzzzzzzz Meh Zzzzzzzzzz

I agree the Wellington looks great! But I’ve got to admit I can’t wait to build the 1/48 Chipmunk! Massive nostalgia! Excellent channel this!

no ships

aye dont we just love that airplae ive got two oldschool Airfix kits of it wil build one verry soon

The writing on Lim-5 says "Last flight" if anyone was wondering.. now you can give me a like, i think i earned it :) (And don't forget to subscribe to Mohawk Models! )

Airfix is still big name for kits .. we need to get youngsters into making kits. put down the smart phone and the PS controller for 5 minutes and make something.... as a kid in the 1970's you could buy Airfix kits in newsagents and stores everywhere. now they are confined to model shops of which most towns might have perhaps one.. with the kits that come with paints and glue, they could easily distribute these through the old outlets they used back in the day... raise the profile of modelling

I'm still waiting for a 1/48 Bristol Beaufort, Fairy Gannet or Lockheed Hudson. Cannot understand why no company have not made these three historic aircraft yet. All been done in 1/72 but not 1/48 recently, I would imagine that they would sell well and make good AIRFIX products.

Er cycle 7 miles to Ealing Broadway Woolworth and buy em in plastic bags for 2s 6d

Hard to understand why Airfix hasn’t produced the Dehavilland Sea Venom in 1/48 scale or the Fairey Gannet two worthy aircraft of the British air arm. With it’s new tooling which They so proudly speak of AIRFIX should expand its inventory as opposed to the usual run. Something different should come out guys, get out of the rut.

Looks like nothing with RAAF decals this year. I'm going to have to wait and hope until next year

Your suspicions about the Bf109 is correct - it is not a new tool, it's a rebox - you should look at my video as I go into a little detail on these aspects :)

greethings from belgium happy to see that im not the only viking that builds plastick kits
