Ever since I read "The Flight of the Intruder" by Stephen Coonts I've been dreaming of building this airplane on a scale that allows a high level of detail. Thanks to you.
I have a small scroll saw blade that I cut down and put in a pin vice. You could drill a small hole in the area of interest then use the frankensaw to cut the rest. You could also use a “hook blade” for a box cutter.
About cutting that lip off to get the aftermarket intake in. I know it is a bit late, but if you need to do something like that again. I would suggest clipping the lip off as much as you can and then using a new SHARP #11 blade and slice the plastic down to the recessed area. It would be a lot cleaner and a lot more precise.
Very interesting video on a technique not normally covered. I was interested in the dental power you used. Was that a kicker liquid you used to harden the dental power? Thanks for sharing your work with us.
Could you not have spent the same time tidying up the inner seam lines rather than adding the new resin parts and the accompanying surgery ? or was it worse looking in real life than on camera ? great video by the way.
Hey Matt totally unrelated I was watching your video on black basing gloss sea blue and you had mentioned how it weathers differently and wondering how you would do it. You’ve mentioned you like 1/32 scale so I understand that the Trumpeter 1/32 f8f Bearcat is one of their better kits and those planes in pics seem to have be extremely weathered under the French in Indochina, sooo maybe a idea for a future build log. Thanx
Took on a 1D Corsair last year so it'll probably be a while before I have another go at gloss sea blue - but it's absolutely a challenge, both in that the blue didn't really fade, and that oils show differently over it (and anything with any red tones in it looks extremely brown). My Corsair had the further challenge of being pretty new and thus still relatively shiny. At least French Bearcats were more...broken in. doogsmodels.smugmug.com/32ScaleAircraft/132-Tamiya-F4U-1D-Corsair/i-X5SVxN9
what i use for this king of cutting are the amazin RB production micro saws. www.radubstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=77_112&products_id=358

Hell yea, I can't get enough of modelling videos since I've been shut in since early March.
Hi from Spain!
Normally you find modellers on youtube adding rivets to kits, this is the first removing rivets build I've ever seen!!
I use videos like this to put me to sleep.
Your photos of that marine A-6 is defiantly an early intruder where those fus speed brakes used to be

I would have gone with kits originally, just spend sometime sanding
Are we ready for a 60 part series
Heh. I make no promises of a short series.
Fantastic looking forward to doing this , worthwhile though.
Thank you so much for making these videos.
I use the Trumpy panel line tool much better than exacto or scalpel blades. Just a thought.
What airbush are you using in this video
So much for the rivet counters!!!
RB pico saws. I scribe panel lines with them. But be careful. They are a tad bit flimsy and bend easily.
Cant wait to see the finished product🤘🏽
Is there a reason why you didn't prime in black?
You should try the allmodels scriber I use it to cut it’s russian steel

Hi I was wondering were you got your acrylic powder? Great job!

Do you have a link for that RB Blade you use???

Acrylic dental powder and super glue. An old Paul Budzig trick.

I use a diamond file and file down until I'm close and then I use a iron file until the piece is gone.
Yeah..
