Your dedication , your talent , your patience and your friendly explanations are a must to watch
Thank you to cheer that
Beautiful
So nice of you. Thank you so much 🙏
So glad you uploaded this. I started being obsessive about checking my subscriptions hoping you would!
Maybe click on the bell icon too 👍😀
This is my kind of modelling. All your uploads have been very useful to me. Cheers 👍
Great to hear!
The finished result is going to be unbelievable!!
Thanks Mark. I have to say, I'm rather looking forward to actually getting it finished now lol
Very impressive.
Thanks Bernard 👍
Watching you working the foil onto the model's surface is fascinating and I find it soothing. I am intrigued as to the glue layer. Is it on the foil, or the plastic? And what kind of adhesive allows such working time, allowing for the stretching and compound curves etcetera.
This is truly amazing.
Thanks for putting it out to us.
Nick.
Hi Nicholas, I have put a link in the description to the foil glue and a how to video on how I do this step by step. I tend to put the glue on the model now but the technique is the same. I have done quite a few other foiling videos so please check them out when you have time ( they are rather long) thanks for watching
Beautiful work as always Richard. Shame about the flaps but it will take nothing away from the quality of the finish at the end. 😍
Thanks Dean. Indeed, I wan't looking forward building the rest of the flaps anyway really, so all is good
@@RichardsModellingAdventures Hi Mate, check your Spam folder. I've just flicked you an email 👍
Replied 😀
Rivets: Early Spit Mk IX were actually converted MkVs so had some raised (dome head) rivets on the fuselage. Later production Mk IX were all flush.
Cool. Thanks for the clarification 👍
@@RichardsModellingAdventures Jeffrey Quill was a test pilot, wrote a fascinating book about his time with the Spitfire, including their testing of various rivets on the fuselage for aero efficiency. Sounds nerdy, but it isn't, a great read.
Nerdy is good 😀
I can imagine it was a while before you calmed down enough to make this video. The work you put into those flaps only to have them ruined is horrible. In hindsight i guess they were best leaving as one of the last jobs after the rest was done but easy for me to say. Good for you to carry on. It will be worth it.
Thanks Ricado. It worked out OK in the end as I ant looking forward to the rest of the flap build as they re very fragile and difficult to work with
Did Spitfires have 'oil canning' on the skin? Many stressed skin WW2 planes seemed to have it.
For sure. Some worse than others. Some of the panel fit was rather poor too. The kit is too good in this respect. I'll show some images on the next video.
i didn't find the right aluminum foil... i need one too thick but i didn't know which
Hi Michele, what country are you in?

the problem is to curve the foil without brakes or damages example the leading edges or tips or engines bay
you are a foil wizard!
