Hello there fellow model makers. I know that the title of this video is slightly misleading. It should clarify that this is for airbrush beginners. However, I have since then put together a beginners' series for hand painting a kit as well. Please do check those videos out if you want to hand paint your kits: th-cam.com/video/8YBrTCtSTkI/w-d-xo.html This link is to the complete build. If you want a more in depth tutorial, I have a more detailed four part series from this same build. Hope that helps :)
Hi can you Tell me the color numbers of the paint you use iv got a spitfire that I want to hand paint Green and blue instead of painting it the usual green and brown thanks for any help much appreciated thanks
Although an experienced modeller, I came across this video by accident (appreciate it s a few years old now). I thoroughly enjoyed it and you put it over really well. Have now subscribed.
I've literally just bought my first kit at 45 years old, I however have also spent 2 weeks buying paints, glues and spray primer , brushes and lots of silly things like cocktail sticks I'll make my model middle of the week using the skills I've acquired over the years and see how I can translate them from aircraft mechanics and drawing to scale Modeling, wish me luck 🤞
@@kevinbill9574 why not ? It's as good a hobby as any and good for concentration, patience and keeping your hand skills up For me I'm hoping to learn some art skills from it
@@snakedogman on my third model now did a Hurricane after this which came out really well, I've found I prefer just painting them without the weathering etc I'm really happy with the 2 I've done 👍🙂
Its green ;) Cuttingplate :) Could not find the name for it! I've made a model before, but do you suggest me starting with a lvl 3 or lvl 4 from Revell? Can't rly define the difficulty levels from them....
Right. This is a cutting mat or a hobby mat. This particular one is by a company called Morn Sun and is A2 size. I got it from Amazon. As for the kit. My advice would be: Don't go by the skill level so much. There is little difference between a skill level 3 and level 4 kit. Go for a kit of a vehicle or airplane that you like. That is what will keep you excited and focused on the build. Good luck with your project. Let me know if I can help in any way :)
You didn’t get the starter kit so you need to buy the paints separately I just got the ones that matched so I held the tins up to the box and took it from there, the paints come in small metal tins but don’t use too much, hope this helped
Hey Velar, sorry for the late reply. If you haven't already bought paints, may I make a few suggestions. I would suggest you start with Vallejo Air acrylic paints. These I feel are a very good place for a beginner to start. They are pre-diluted so you can just spray them straight from the airbrush, no need for any thinners or anything. They are water based, so if for any reason you feel that you need to thin the paint down, a few drops of water work fine. Also, being water based, cleaning up after is also easy. And they are decent in case you want to hand paint. Once, you get comfortable you can then start experimenting with Tamiya, Mr. Color, etc. In case you don't get Vallejo at your hobby shop, then you can try Mig or AK acrylic paints. Good luck :)
This is the old Monogram Pro Modeler kit, apparently based on the Revell Mk II kit from the sixties, and it shows. Cockpit is a bit off, the center of the lower , wing lacks the characteristics " gull wing" typical of all Spits--impossible to hide, and difficult, and usually expensive to fix. Finally, it looks like the Red on the decal sheet (in Yank,, "de-CAL", in Brit, "DE-cal") is off, seems to have been what's known as Venitian Red. Whilst it's a bit more complex, and I can't vouch for the paints, it. looks to me like the Airfix Starter. Kit of the same subject is a much better choice.
Hello, i have discovered recently your channel and i like it a lot. Keep going, i'm waiting for more advanced techniques since i'm no more a beginner but advanced beginner. XD
Yes, you can use any cutter your are comfortable with. Just don't cut too close to the kit piece when removing it from the sprue or tree. Cut away from the piece and once it is lose, then use your cutter or sanding paper to clean up the piece :) Once you are more into the hobby you can slowly think of buying specialised tools, if you ever feel the need for it.
"Flash has to be removed before a part can be used and this is something modelers aren't particularly fond of"" indeed, just as dog poop has to be picked up before you mow the lawn, not fun, but necessary. I'd rather remove flash that pick up dog poop.
Just go to toychamps.com they are based in delhi and have revell kits. or order from hobby link japan (hlj.com) or hobbyeasy.com. for paints just go to home site for ammo by mig. hope that helps :) let me know if you have any more questions.
Buddy this video is a couple of years old....since then...bowing to popular demand...I have changed the music on the videos twice. Please check out a more recent video, hopefully that will be better :)

Thanks, I want to get into modelling and just couldn't find a good video to show me what to expect in one of these boxes. Glad I found yours.

I've had unmade models and paints sitting around for years... I think I'm going to give it a go now too
@@kevinbill9574 why not ?
It's as good a hobby as any and good for concentration, patience and keeping your hand skills up
For me I'm hoping to learn some art skills from it
Haha, almost the same experience here. Quite a few different tools and supplies needed before even starting!
@@snakedogman on my third model now did a Hurricane after this which came out really well, I've found I prefer just painting them without the weathering etc
I'm really happy with the 2 I've done 👍🙂
Great video. I am 34 and starting with my first set (the messerscmidt) this week with the same paint etc included
I made this thing, but the seetrough part of the spitfire wasn’t included. The pilot of my spitfire would die
Weeelllll no. The tornado has flown speeds in excess of mach one and the pilot has survived so your spitfire pilot would be fine.
finally something that can really help me
You should do an updated video of this
I have 17 models but i still need tips and tricks for better models

Thx for the quick reply!!! Thx for video!
Hello, this is my first time building a model and my set didn’t come with the paints or any of that. Does anyone have any suggestions?
You didn’t get the starter kit so you need to buy the paints separately I just got the ones that matched so I held the tins up to the box and took it from there, the paints come in small metal tins but don’t use too much, hope this helped
Also don’t use the paints from the starter kit there not as good
@@mr_ollyy9293 Thank you. I’m going to a model shop on saturday so i’ll try and find the right ones. Thanks very much

Thanks Nicolas.

Thanks Jean. As we move along we will explore more and more advanced techniques. At least what little I know I will gladly share.
How do you call that blue plate you cut on? Can't find the name for it lol....
Hi Airborne....I can't make out which blue plate you are referring to. Exactly, which plate do you mean? Give me a time stamp.
Good video but the music is way too much if you speak at the same time ... Especially Wagner
Can I use a normal cutter?
Yes, you can use any cutter your are comfortable with. Just don't cut too close to the kit piece when removing it from the sprue or tree. Cut away from the piece and once it is lose, then use your cutter or sanding paper to clean up the piece :) Once you are more into the hobby you can slowly think of buying specialised tools, if you ever feel the need for it.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks mate.
hearts of iron musics in backgraund :)
No.ll. Thats just foight of the bumblebee einstein🤔
You can probably scrape the excess plastic off with your finger nails :v
Nah...that's an advanced technique and this was a beginner's guide... he he.

Any one sees the little bug rushing to the right side of the tissue? XD
yep
Are you based in Bombay?
Not full time. But I visit regularly :)
Oh ok. Where do you buy your kits? I can't possibly find any
Just go to toychamps.com they are based in delhi and have revell kits. or order from hobby link japan (hlj.com) or hobbyeasy.com. for paints just go to home site for ammo by mig. hope that helps :) let me know if you have any more questions.

What's with the music. Seriously

It's real music, as opposed to the hippy druggo shite you get on youtube these days. Try listening to some you philistine.
