Airfix Vickers Wellington 1:72 IA Full build

Took me some time to make another video, but here it is.. the Airfix Vickers Wellington in 1:72. A quite nice kit with good detail and a lot of parts that are not seen once the fuselage is closed. Feel free to leave a comment. :)

My Grandfather who was from Tipperary Ireland and was in the British homeguard in London during WW2. He actually worked on the production for the Wellington bomber in Weybridge Surrey

For a small scale it packs in a lot of detail.....great job....thanks for sharing.

[@wbpsmodels3452]

It does indeed... A pity that most of the detail can't be seen. Thank you for watching :)

Awesome build video. So many tips for me. I don't know if the colours on the video are true but the green camouflage seems a bit bright and gawdy. Otherwise fine.

Great model, I love jazz so that was a plus, I also have another use for my pill containers. Thanks

[@wbpsmodels3452]

Glad you like it! Thanx for watching :)

Brilliant job. It's a shame the interior can't be appreciated. How do you thin the Vallejo primer? I have lots of issues airbrushing it

[@wbpsmodels3452]

I did too... I switched to a .3 beck diameter (instead of .2) and I thin it at least 50% (50% thinner - 50% primer).. I also use some flow improver, can't say if it works much.. I still have to manually clean the tip of the needle from dried up paint (or primer) every now and then... To be honest, Vallejo was my go-to brand after I switched from enamels and I haven't tried anything else so far.. Their spouted bottle suits me fine and they seem to have a huge range of colors. Thanks for watching ! :)

Hey mate, great build! I liked the chilled music, it really fits with building a kit. My father's cousin was a rear gunner in a Wellington and was killed on landing in 1941.
If I can offer a piece of constructive advice, the dome on the back of the aircraft was supposed to be clear glass/plexiglass to allow the navigator to take sightings of stars in the event of getting lost. I'm not sure if you left the masking on accidentally or painted over it intentionally but as a modeller who paints the interior because you'll know if it's not done I thought you might like to know.

[@wbpsmodels3452]

You're damn right.. I Forgot to take the masking off the dome... It IS clear and I had it masked.. and in the hurry to shoot the last pieces of the video, I forgot to remove the liquid mask.. (which can be seen with a green tint at 15:50).. Thank you for pointing it out.. The dome is now clear in my display. :)

Breland job my friend 😊👍

[@wbpsmodels3452]

Thank you very much! :)

[@mikealderson4138]

Where did you get the support jig you used while painting your kit ?

[@wbpsmodels3452]

Here in Greece, there is someone who makes those as a hobby.. He hasn't shown interest on exporting them yet however..

[@romans2500]

I also always wonder why I put so much effort on the interior. You don't even see it afterwards.

[@wbpsmodels3452]

Yes, but you KNOW it's there... ;)

[@veikkakarvonen831]

Imagine building a big bomber, like a lanc or b-17, so that part of the cockpit walls/roof is cut out following panel lines. Then you could display it normally, but remove the roof to show the interior.

Sur les plans d'Airfix, les endroits colorés en rouge sont des endroits où il faut coller quelque l'une ou l'autre pièce. Cela ne signifie pas qu'il faut les peindre en rouge ! L'intérieur d'un Wellington doit, bien sûr, être peint en "interior green"....

[@wbpsmodels3452]

Les plans de fixation et les instructions de peinture indiquent clairement que les surfaces intérieures de la bâche recouvrant le fuselage devaient être peintes en rouge. Pensiez-vous que je suis tellement novice que je confondrais la coloration des pièces assemblées avec des instructions haletantes ?

Great model and video....awful music! Its music that was created by a god who was suffering from a severe hangover :)

[@wbpsmodels3452]

LOL... I guess you don't like Jazz.. :P Oh well.. There are not many public domain music options you can download.. At any rate, thanks for watching :) (and what's wrong with a hangover every now and then? :P)

[@d-rob5513]

Completely wrong green!
