Really enjoyed this video. Am getting into the hobby again so looking at this gives me some new ideas. You must have had another child since there hasn't been any new videos lately!
Glad you enjoyed the video! I just got busy and there was less time for the hobby and making the videos. It was a massive effort making all the graphics, music and building the kit whist recording it… I’m still impressed at how much I got done back then 🤪. Maybe I’ll get a chance to build again but for now I just dabble at many unfinished kits, ha ha Hope you enjoy the hobby again 😀👍
Well done! Yes, I've done similar - re-visited old kits that just didn't meet my (now!) improved taste! Hahaha. Many old kits can be saved with a new paint scheme!
Thanks.. I know!! In desperation for a tidy space, I threw a good few old kits away! I should have taken my own advice and rescued at least some of them.. ah well! :)
The effect is superb and I appreciate this was a bit of an experiment and at risk of sounding pedantic your upper surface colours are just wrong for RN aircraft, which should be extra dark sea grey and slate grey which are not the RAF grey/green.
Thanks. I researched as much as I could on the colours. Some said this and others said that and in the end if I remember rightly I thought I’ll just go as close as I can to the photo! I know that’s probably throwing in a whole heap of variables in terms of bleach and tones changing but it looked so cool. I think my Fulmar video is probably closer to the real colours as it finished up being darker. Cheers 😀👍
@@modkitmayhem There is some confusion especially regarding the earlier aircraft delivered to the RN from US factories and the Seafire II some of which were delivered in RAF schemes. The fading on Indian Ocean and Pacific aircraft would also have been considerable, it’s often difficult to even determine the demarcation of the two colours on B & W schemes. I’m returning to brush painting as I’m so sick of cleaning airbrushes!
@antonyhughes4702 That’s what I found tricky. The confusion seemed considerable and I almost gave up doing the video. I totally understand the airbrush cleaning.. it’s a pain! There seems to be a lot of brush painters who have said the same on my other videos! I’ve had to stop building altogether as I don’t have any time at the moment, hence the break in uploads. Maybe I’ll get back to it at sometime. Cheers for the comments 😀👍

Very good. Not all of us amateurs have access to or own a paint sprayer.
Thank you, Lots of people say the same! It's been great to get back to basics and enjoy the process.
Great job. It's always a good feeling reviving a kit from the shelf of doom
Thanks, Definitely a good way to try new techniques :)
Wow, this is an interesting approach for preshading and painting a kit. Very nice result 🫡
Cheers, for sure there's room to experiment with this effect! Could work on armour as well!

Congratulations for the masterfully done creation. It reminds me of my first models, sometimes they looked like colored bricks 😁. Greetings from Italy
Thanks - Greetings from Wales
Great video for those that are starting with painting models and don't have an airbrush! Appreciate it
Thanks, I wanted to show you don’t need an airbrush to get results! The Hellcat turned out better than I expected. 😀👍
@@modkitmayhem yeah, you did a great job showing that good results can also be achieved with hand painting 💪
Great work, the effect of weathering looks awsome, thanks for sharing. Greetings from Portugal.😉👋
Thanks, really happy it worked as a technique on this kit. Thanks for commenting and greetings from Wales 😀👍
At last someone else other than me calls them transfers,well tidy video too.
Cheers man 😀👍

Great to see you back MM!! Looking really nice!
Cheers man 😀👍
That's a clever little trick mate, thanks for sharing 😉👌
Cheers Tim.. worth a go if you get a chance!! Definitely scope for experimentation with the technique 😀👍
Great work please keep these coming!
Thanks Tom… hopefully I can get back to the model desk at some point 😀👍
Love it, keep em coming 👏👏
Thanks, glad you like the videos 👍😀
Cool tutorial and model.
Thanks :))
👍
Brillaint
