    Really Nice work for your Apache, I'm currently doing the 1/35 AH-64A from Academy.

    It's nice to see someone's first narrated model build rather than just putting captions and annoying music, keep it up. I enjoyed watching your build and being a helicopter fan seeing this build was good. Never be afraid to narrate a video. Normally if a video is just music and captions I will turn it off.👍

    The only problem with the voiceover is the mechanical nature of the voice (not your problem in any way I must say!) That said, it was concise and well thought out. Your techniques are excellent and I have learned a few things from you today. Thank you and Slava Ukraini & Heroyam Slava!

    • @AF921ScaleModels
      @AF921ScaleModels  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      I know about Quinta Studios. But if you know, Quinta Studios is a Russian manufacturer, and if you didn't know, Russia has now invaded the territory of my country and is killing civilians and terrorizing peaceful cities with missiles and drones. Reskit/Kelik I can bet. The early ones were really bad but their new releases are on par with Quinta Studios and have a huge line of resin and 3d printed aftermarket

    Озвучка крута ідея. Текст цікавий навіть в такому варіанті. Так розумію, ти дослівно перекладаєш на англійську, не впевнений що деякі поняття коректно перекладаються таким чином. Я в такому випадку український текст даю на переклад Chat GPT, а тоді вже можна на озвучку, він не погано з технічними текстами справляється. Ну і сподіваюсь невдовзі буде адекватна начитка українською )

Української мабуть небуде на цьому каналі, він все ж таки спрямований на західну аудиторію з самого початку. Українськомовний контент в планах але не знаю коли. Часу катастрофічно не хватає.😑

      That not true since the Blackhawk is not named for a tribe but for Blackhawk” who was a Sauk Leader - Blackhawk, who fought in the war of 1812. The naming of Army helicopters fell under Army Regulation AR 70-28 states “Army Aircraft should be given to names of Native American tribes, or chiefs or terms.”
      Though AR 70-28 is no longer around, naming Army aircraft around Native Americans still stuck.

    $60 for the kit and twice that for all the aftermarket stuff. That is just insane. Most of that stuff you got resin for can be improved with a little scratch building. Try being a _MODELER_ not just an _ASSEMBLER_ . The method of pre-shading that you use is very time consuming. It is much better to use the gray primer and microfiller and then airbrush black lines over it. You spent all that money on resin but complain of the smell of lacquers. I suggest you get yourself a spraybooth and vent it to the outside. That way you are not painting all over your work area and won't have to deal with the smell. Lastly, American choppers are not painted olive drab, they are painted Helo drab which is a darker green. Also, the blades on an Apache are not painted black, they are painted dark gray.

    • @AF921ScaleModels
      @AF921ScaleModels  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks for the feedback and criticism, but...
      Most of what you wrote is nonsense.
      The model with all the additions cost me $60.
      There are such inaccuracies and simplifications on this model that ordinary scratching cannot fix.
      Everything is correct - I am a MODELIST who ASSEMBLING models and not collects boxes of plastic.
      Regarding preshading, I will say that everyone goes their own way and everyone does as they please.
      The paint booth, which I have, by the way, does not save from the smell at the moment when the lacquers are being prepared for application and I do not like the smell itself, so I use a respirator, which I advise you to do.
      The colors are a controversial issue and this is not the place to discuss. I have looked at thousands of photos and videos of Apaches and I will say that there is no single standard color, and over time, after long-term operation, it is difficult to find two helicopters that are very similar to each other.
      Thanks again for the feedback.

      @@AF921ScaleModels I was an Air Assault Infantryman for 22 of my 26 years in the Army. I have flown in Hueys, Blackhawks, Shithooks and Little Birds. We were around Apache's all the time. Never once in that entire time did I ever see an Army chopper besides Huey's and Cobras that were painted in OD. It is not a controversial issue, they are all painted in Army Helo Drab CARC. I mix, spray and clean all paint, acrylic, enamel and lacquer in my double spray booth with both fans going. My wife has walked in many times and says she never smells anything. I suggest you get a better spray booth. And if you rely on other people's work rather than using your own scratch building, you _are_ and assembler rather than a modeler.

      @@AF921ScaleModels Actually I would say what Steve wrote is quite accurate. I agree that there are modelers and there are assemblers. To use that much resin clearly puts you in the "assembler" category. And what is _really_ nonsense is your statement _"There are such inaccuracies and simplifications on this model that ordinary scratching cannot fix."_ . There is _nothing_ that cannot be fixed with the appropriate amount of scratch building if you are a skilled modeler. I built the old 1980's Revell 1/32 Apache back in 1996 and pretty much rebuilt the whole kit because it was far simpler than the 1/48 Hasegawa one. It took Best in Class and Best in Show at the 2000 IPMS Nationals. I lived 20 minutes from FT Rucker and knew people that let me take hundreds of reference photos.
      I did this WIP website in 1996, so it is pretty simple and the photos not the best, but it details everything I did to that old kit. THIS is real modeling, not using other people's work. If a model has shortcomings, and all do, FIX IT YOURSELF. And Steve is right, no Army choppers were painted OD after Vietnam.

      @@scottmurphy650 Everyone has their own vision. This is what makes the 90s different from modern times, that back then there weren't so many additions to models and you had to do everything yourself. I remember those times well. Yes, you're right, in principle you can fix a lot on a model, but the time spent... is it worth it? You yourself wrote the number of hours in the description, and I created my model in 30-40 hours. I don't want to spend half my life assembling one model. Maybe someday I'll retire and build models day and night, but now I only have 2-3 hours a day to do what I love. And my goal was not to create a perfect copy of Apache, it's impossible to create one. I just wanted to quickly correct the inaccuracies that the manufacturer made in the model. And I don't claim prizes and don't put the model up for a competition, I don't brag that this is the best model in front of everyone - I assemble models for myself and share the process and the result with everyone. You have made many open technical compartments on your model yourself, spent hundreds of hours, I wonder how much the geometry of the model corresponds to a real helicopter? I say again - everyone assembles models as they want, there are no single rules. You did not come up with scale modeling and did not write the rules for assembling models and you have no right to call someone a modeler and someone simply ASSEMBLER. This is your opinion and keep it to yourself. All the best...
