  • @allandavis8201
    @allandavis8201 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for a very informative upload. I have just started modelling again since I was a teenager and some of the little touches you have employed have brought back a lot of things I used to do, so thanks for jogging my memory. If anyone is interested I gave up model making when I joined the RAF in 1979 to work on the real thing, and after leaving the Airforce work stopped me restarting my childhood hobby, now in my mid 50’s I am just starting out again and have not lost any of my enthusiasm,it is truly a timeless hobby. Airbrushes were not readily available then,and those that were on the market were either to expensive or very poor quality so I did it all by hand, it took forever to hand paint an Airfix 1/24 scale Stuka dive bomber,but very satisfying. Thanks again I have remembered a lot of old techniques but learnt some very handy new ones,especially the weathering and washing as again these were not “invented” in those old days.do you have a specific tip for giving the impress of weight on the wheel assemblies, I used to file a small flat on the bottom,but that wasn’t ideal if I wanted the wheels to rotate on the axels. Any tips gratefully accepted.

    • @MaxAfterburner
      @MaxAfterburner  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks DJ Phantom! Modeling has and continues to change and be more innovative than what we experienced in our early days. I don't know how you would simulate the weight on the wheels if they are to be movable. The only thing I can think of is to try and find very malleable rubber than what is normally out there.

    An Amazing build, as always. It's fantastic. In the video, you mentioned the units migration from the F14 to the F18. You also shared one reference photo that had the units F14 flying alongside a unit F18. Maybe you should build the corresponding F18 and display them together. Regardless, I look forward to the next project.

    • @MaxAfterburner
      @MaxAfterburner  6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      If you want a real piece of aviation history find decals for VFA-41 “Black Aces”. This was the squadron that was involved in not one but two incidents involving the shoot down of Libyan MIG fighters once early 80’s once again late 80’s.....apparently the Libyan AF didn’t get the memo. Both incidents resulted in zero damage to the Tomcats but total destruction of the MIGS!
      That squadron transitioned to the F/A-18F Super Hornet in the 2000’s not sure quite when but. If you can find the decals for both aircraft and same squadron that would be a rare exception to display both aircraft with a factory fresh paint scheme
      Google the incident and you will see what I mean. Ironically the first actual shoot down incident occurred approximately a year after the “Final Countdown “ movie was premiered.....the second one was about three years after Top Chef, Top Plane.....Damm it Max now you got me saying it.....”Top Gun”
      True fact: my first fleet squadron was in the opening scenes of “Top Gun”. The A7E Corsair 2...almost three years before I joined or even knew what the squadron was.
      True fact #2. The USS Enterprise (CVN-65) used in Top Gun was also the carrier used in “Hunt for Red October”
      Bonus: During the filming of Top Gun the director found a sun angle that was perfect for the movie. The Captain of the Carrier told them that the turn would cost about $25,000 and put them behind schedule......the onboard producer cut a check right there and gave it to the Captain.

    Great work. I knew a guy who built models with that kind of detail when I was a kid.

    Your talent is inspiring. Love watching people build models. As a mini painter, there are brushes out there that would allow you to do the needle work. I’m not suggesting this though if you like the needle, as the results speak for themselves. Amazing work!

    Only just found your channel (whilst searching-out 1:48 F-14 builds). Very impressive build etc, but more than that, is the presentation, lighting camera-work etc. Bl**dy good all around and very watchable even if I wasn't already a scale-modeller !!
    Best from NZ.

    Best build vid I've seen. Lots of great detail info. Only fault I could see was maybe how clean the canopy frame is. Looks like it's never seen weather.

    • @MaxAfterburner
      @MaxAfterburner  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks very much Mat! I did a little weathering on the frame, but not on the transparency. I used a grey wash to bring out some of the screw heads, but it's hard to see on the video.

    I visited your channel good work on your techniques, presentation and especially your patience. There is never a simple way to obtain independent details without the nuances of masking or taping or painting or marking with ink and refraining from over doing it or breaking or loosing parts in process. 👍

    I can't believe I haven't commented on this cracking video. Firstly my sincere apologies Max, it was very rude of me. I don't think I can remember watching this . I just not have seen it as you know I would of commented as I've said before you are one of my favourite TH-cam aircraft modeller, easily. I have the A version from Tamiya , Max and was lucky enough to pick up the "Big Ed " set with it to. Mind you I say lucky, my bank manager perhaps wouldn't agree !! Lol really brill video and super work . You truly are something else when it comes to our hobby ! Well done my friend. I hope you and your family are all well ? Stay safe my friend
