😆

[@mikesackmary]

Is this the beginning of a diorama?

[@southpaw5483]

Was the Grey Basecoat also used as the Primer?

[@SuperTexasBlues]

is the base grey you used gloss or flat?
enamel or acrylic?

[@FineScaleModelermagazine]

Yes, it was Tamiya gloss gray acrylic thinned with lacquer thinner.

[@jonyeoman]

Do you have to thin the paints that you use to hand paint the cockpit? Or is straight out of the bottle fine?

[@FineScaleModelermagazine]

It depends on the paint, but Aaron was using Vallejo paints and there was water nearby to rinse the brush.

Great Videos, keep them coming. As a newbie, may I make a suggestion, please remove the music and add more commentary. You experience and knowledge are more important to your videos than music. What is common knowledge you and others is all mystery, voodoo magic to us beginners. Even explaining the most basic of basic stuff is very helpful. What materials, what pressures, why you're doing it this way. Thanks again for taking the time to produce these very helpful videos.

what about the nose weight?

[@simonmowatt]

Aren't you going to need some nose weights?

[@novamodelismo]

Are you serious ??? The worst job I have ever seen... I didn't think I would see it on a site with such a prestigious name as FINE SCALE MODELER

[@FineScaleModelermagazine]

It's a Scale Model Basics video and about making the hobby accessible. Help instead of hinder. Build instead of tear down. Support rather than disparage. But you do you. And you're correct, FineScale Modeler (remember, FineScale for the magazine's purposes is a single word with an internal cap) is a prestigious title, now 42 years strong. Thanks for watching AND commenting. Every little bit helps the algorithm.
