I watch a lot of videos on model building - this was one of my favorites! Low key - straight forward techniques. Really enjoyed. Plan on taking your ideas to my work bench !!
I absolutely love your videos. They're so calming yet very informative. I also enjoy your modelling techniques, they're simple and effective. Keep up the good work!
@@MaxAfterburner By any chance do you have a video on spraying basics or can you recommend one you know of? Great build. I also think your techniques are really smart. I love the Tomcat and want to make this kit but I have not made one in 30 years and am afraid I will make a mess of it.
Thanks Chris V! I know there are a lot of videos out there on airbrushing techniques, but I can't say I know them very well to recommend any one in particular.
I have never in my life seen a model done like this and it is so very, very well done and it was wonderful to watch it transform from little plastic parts to a perfect model of the real thing.
@@MaxAfterburner I mean it and you earned the comments too!! I was like, WOW this is awesome. I have seen the models of jets, tanks, boats and other vehicles in the toy store but never really gave them much of a glance. I wish I could do what you did but I do not have that talent. I am still kinda stuck at the stick figure on paper and that's about it hey. Now I gotta watch more of your work hey. They boys I was chatting with on steam also loved this video too ;)
sir, you made me relive my childhood. i would stay up late to watch my dad building his models. while building, he would educate me about the planes. 🥲 im gonna share your channell to him.
The authenticity of that paint work for the fuselage is insane. Some people may see a plastic model kit I see someone who is an artist with a serious eye for detail. I tip my hat to you, Sir
Very interesting and effective use of a black first coat. Seems to be a great choice for this particularly dark grey Tomcat. If you haven't begun your next project yet, I vote for the Phantom II in camo. Nice work!
Have really enjoyed watching your skills increase from build to build and your editorial skills have also improved a lot. As for the next build, continue with the navy trend and go F-4
Thanks tanitatt, I sure wish I knew then what I know now about the video software I use to create the presentations. There's some things I would love to "fix" in my older videos.
Wow, that is a very amazing build. I love the F-14. Sorry, that I am really really late. But, I think that you should build the A-7 Corsair 2, In the Air Force camouflaged colors. Again very stunning work on this build. Congratulations
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.
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.
Wow, now that is brilliant...I would pay good money for a model like that.The enjoyment and passion that went into it really makes it worth every cent!
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.
Thanks EchoNine! That's a great idea for the Bounty Hunters homage of the transition from the F-14 to the F-18. It certainly would make sense as a side-by-side comparison. Mike Alpha X-Ray.
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.
F14 is my favorite plane. You have very strong skills. I loved model building as a kid. You are encouraging me to get back in it but learning to do it at a higher level. Thank you for sharing your ideas and skills.
Stunning...no other word for it, love the authenticity you put into all your projects. I've not modelled for near 25 years, but am now certainly rethinking that...you've kick started the enjoyment I used to get in seeing a model go from many pieces on sprues, to a finished piece of work...thank you!!!!
Tengo un F-14 para armar hace más de 15 años y siempre tuve miedo de hacerlo por pensar que podría salir mal los efectos que he tenido el privilegio de ver en este video. Ahora estoy más confiado y animado . GRACIAS por compartir tus técnicas que son realmente impresionantes. 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Jolly Rogers with F-14 D? I don't think so! After all there is an Tamiya f-14A with Jolly Rogers decals OOB in 1/48 and the tool is good as this one. Can't see why he would do that.
I just *love* Tamiya kits! Much as I enjoy watching this, it fills me with a painful wistfulness: 🤥 I want to *build* these kits, not just watch someone else!
Another great build. Love the use of narration, provision of facts around the aircraft and the soothing music. It never ceases to amaze me that the grey body is painted black then morphs back into grey with the layering. I’d love to see an F-4 as an upcoming project.
Thanks so much gcm747, I'm happy that you like the overall format of the videos. I have your vote down for the F-4 and I will be starting my next project late this week.
You know I was in the Marine Corps for 8 yrs. I called for fire from jets, just like this one. And I am totally amazed how close you got it to look like the real thing. Great job.
Thanks cdpgbc 1966, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I work with someone who is French-Canadian and I get a kick teasing him "aboot" his accent here in the U.S. , ay :-)
Amazing, amazing, amazing. I started this kit early July. I love it. It is incredible to watch your skill. I am up to step 26 right now. I bought a small compressor and a few inexpensive (master) airbrushes. I'm getting better. Thanks so much for this amazing video. It seems your video and editing skills are on par with your modeling skills..thanks again.
When I watch these I initially think “man this is cool maybe I’ll get inspired to do one” when I’m finished watching these I get reminded I have no talent 😂 Phenomenal man. Really.
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.
I watched the entire video, this was really nice. You are really good at detailing and coloring it, well done, I really liked watching. I also liked how you give info about jet and history as well.
Wow just wanted to drop in and say you have awesome scale modeling content. And also very helpful. I think one of the best channels out there! Thanks, this is really helping me out with my first kit
One heck of a build my man.... First time being here and wetness your talent and boy do I love it... I subscribe and rung your bell.... I'll be watching your old videos and your future videos...
Max....Once again you have outdone yourself. Thank-you for posting this video. You have given me the tips and confidence to do my build now. lol. Great video once again.
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.
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
Awesome video! Great tips and great voice over, very easy to understand what you’re doing and what you’re using in each step. I also like the references to real life squadrons

Very interesting and effective use of a black first coat. Seems to be a great choice for this particularly dark grey Tomcat. If you haven't begun your next project yet, I vote for the Phantom II in camo. Nice work!
Thanks Coriolis Effect! I also have you down for the Phantom/camo!
Coriolis Effect Phantom ll F4-D
That is some ridiculous talent there sir. You did a great job keeping the sexiest airplane ever built looking great.

Nice looking Tomcat build. The YF-23 gets my vote for next build. I haven't seen too many builds of this kit.
He made a video 1 month ago on the YF-23 and I also wanted to see a YF-23 build
The F-14 looks like a cross between a retro spaceship and a sports car and i love it

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
Thanks again! This has turned out to be my most popular video by far!
Great work, and good music choices as well.
