Will, I know it’s three years later, but thank you so much for this series. I’m returning to modeling after DECADES. The Tamiya two sprue wonder is my first build. Your videos have informed every step of this build. I hope you will consider doing similar builds in the future. I have also searched your video catalog, the instruction you provide is extremely helpful. Thanks for all your efforts.
Will. This series has been so useful and has shown me many new techniques. I am coming back to the hobby in my retirement years after having been an avid modeler in my youth. Keep these videos coming, they are invaluable to novices like me. Many thanks, and keep up the great work!
I have to tell you, sir, that I have followed this series with this kit on my bench, taking all the tips and advice and instructions you have given throughout the entire process, and in just four weeks I have completed this model. It has been my first serious attempt at such a project, at the age of 53. I am delighted to say that it has been one of the best four weeks of my life, and the result is profoundly satisfying for me. I have created an aircraft just like the one you made. Not the one in this series, though. The one you made when you were six. But oh how much I enjoyed it. THANK YOU!!!
Huge debt of gratitude Will, thanks so much. Can't tell you the number of times I've referenced your vlogs for info & inspiration. Intelligent and articulate all the way. I can't say I'm a model builder as such. I came to it late. In fact I'm a complete novice. Just wanted to build the best possible Spit as a project so opted for the Tamiya 1/32. What started out as an intrigue has fast become a fascination. Your help, hints, tips and know how has been invaluable.
An excellent series Mr Pattison, not a suffer fest at all. Watching the beast come together with you explaining your techniques and reasoning has been (and will continue to be) an inspirational treasure trove. I've got the kit but wont be attacking it until I get a few more models under the belt - all the while building my skills up with most of your techniques and practices. Truly inspirational Will, thank you very much!!
Rather than just another faceless overseas modeler saying 'gee Will, excellent model' I would like to say here you have made me take a completely new look at my hobby, analyze separate construction and painting/weathering/finishing methodologies and in effect start again with the way in which I (sorry about the long sentence Will!) interpret instructions, create and manage a construction strategy, build, plan and execute a painting and weathering structure and finish with thought and deliberation. At one point you had me ready to buy another of these kits to try again given the multiplicity of errors inherent in my effort. Instead I am moving on with four new projects, breaking them down as above and I find I am already enjoying the hobby more for the step up as well as the change. Thankyou Will. Your efforts really have made a huge difference to me and my hobby. Regards, Dennis , Whangerei, New Zealand.
Thank you. I've watched the entire series. I've learned so many things about so may things! You've built an amazing piece of art there! Well done, and thanks again from Melbourne Australia. (Much love).
An awesome series. It’s really useful that you go into detail explaining the theory behind what you are doing, like the flow diagram for when to use what filler, or what causes the flow lines in the parts, and the possible consequences for you when modelling. I say take the time and give your in-depth explanations, don't worry how long the video is. And maybe most of all, showing mistakes and how you recovered from them. This is different to the 20 minute or even 1 hour build videos, unique and helpful in lifting my modelling skills.
Great series, thanks for putting so much work into it. It will definitely help me get back into the hobby and find the most appropriate techniques for my style. It really helped me that you took the time to explain the basic chemistry and physics of both the paints and other substances to be used and the actual weathering processes we are trying to imitate. This is so much better than the "looks good, don't ask why"-approaches. Keep up the good work! But if you had told for the third time how your 50-bucks nippers are the best thing ever made out of stardust, you would definitely have been off my Christmas list.
Just finished watching the whole series of vids Will and they are DEFINITELY NOT SILLY! It's an awesome series and very helpful to watch another modeller's approach and techniques so I can try them out for myself. I really enjoy your engaging style and don't care at all if occasionally your camera isn't perfectly foccussed etc as your commentary always makes up for it and you correct it pretty quickly. Life is never perfect, if it was it would be dull and lacking in interest and nuance. Anyway I would encourage any modeller, no matter what stage they are at to watch this series as lots to pick up from your approach dude. As ever much love from the UK
Fantastic series and I enjoyed every episode. Got a bit disappointed when a new one was posted and it wasn’t over an hour long they are that interesting. I’m now rewatching as I build this kit. Thank you for doing the series.
Fantastic contribution Will. I don't build military but learn so much from your techniques. Love your evidence based approach and technical explanations. And really appreciate the enormous effort you put in to helping us guys do better.
Thank you for doing what you do. I always watch the entire video and sometime re-watch parts. Your tutorials are, with out a doubt, the most inclusive. I greatly appreciate your content. Again thank you.
Fantastic series Will. For someone returning during lockdown i have learned so much and really enjoy your honest 'warts and all' style. Working my way through 1/72 Airfix Spit, Tamiya 109E and Arma Hobby Hurricane. And yeah i get all you say about 1/72, all that work on a PE cockpit that no one can see, even after i bought a razor saw to open the canopy. Working my way through all the other posts and watching your modelling evolve. So a big thanks from the UK and maybe 1/48 is calling....
Picked up this kit a little over a month ago. I’m thrilled that you made this series. Many installments I watched a few times. You’re a true credit to the hobby and I appreciate the lessons. The off camera bits, the knocking into the camera, the little fumbles are part of the charm. Keep it up. I love it.
Thanks so much Will. I am active duty Army and was stuck in the house here in Italy for the better part of 4 months and this series gave me something to look forward to every week. Cheers
This series has been amazing, I've picked up so much. A highlight of lockdown for me, a beer in bed with this on. I also like how long they are, its like listening Born in the USA in a bar, you can go outside and have a cigarette and come back in and its still playing.
Very helpful videos. Thank you for sharing your ideas, tips, recommendations. UTube has really opened this hobby back up for me. As a kid, I would ask the grumpy old guy at the hobby shop how he did something and he would just snarl and say PRACTICE. Love how you and a handful of others share knowledge and inspire. Thanks. Keep them coming.
Thanks for creating and sharing this with us, Will. 20 episodes packed with tips, techniques and just as importantly, entertainment. A really good reference series.
It's always fun, weathering is what brings life to a model kit and any help we can get along the way is always helpful, so thanks for doing what you do and please keep showing us how to do it, by the way the spitfire looks awesome.
Thanks Will, learnt so much. The UK dictionary now has a new addition - "Flerm". Love the videos and and the detail you go into. Looking forward to your next project.
I’m thankful for your videos. I always learn things and I appreciate your candor. Your camera work is fine and your Alien tee shirt is tops! Take care Will!
I can't add much more than has already been said... but... I'll try... The series is inspirational. . you pack a lot in... Friday night war gaming above the pub was never like this.... thanks again.
This has been a fantastic series. Really worthwhile all your time, effort and skill to make. This has been superb from beginning to end, and I like that you kept the mistakes in, and how to fix them. Great stuff.
Damn, Will... I just finished this epic journey. Even if i suffered sometimes i must say, this was one of the best things for me when it comes to my own modelling skills. I learned so much and just wanna say thank you! See you @ smcg ;)
One of life’s great mysteries solved, finally. How to get those darn HF radio wires installed without throwing the model against the wall in frustration! Nice work Will. A lot of great techniques that I’m already putting to good use on my stuff. Thanks.
I've seen comments/critiques made by guys on other models, and the same guys are the ones that say they build for themselves, or are a little more critical of things...and then you see their work...and it ain't all that. For me, I like to weather and show some use, but I have to say your weathering and effects are really, really nice and authentic looking and far exceed stuff that I've been doing.
Thank God I'm not the only one that glues his "shit" together when doing aerials! Took a long time, but it looks great, I learned some stuff I didn't know (or thought of). I'm going to need to study more parts over and take notes,like the exhaust stacks, but it's solid technique and philosophy for anyone in this hobby. Great job Will!
looks great; my only critique; looks like the tail rudder light should've been sawed off and done clear using canopy glue (etc.). Also based on reference photos I've seen, maybe sand the bottom of wheels a little more to give more of an impression of weight? Thanks for the series, learned a lot; especially in the "tool department"!
@Will P, I recently started using a new method for panel lines. I purchased a fine permeation pen to draw Tamiya panel liner into its tip and then apply to panel lines that are stubborn to capillary action. I also found that I had fewer blobs when using this method as it has a fine enough tip to trace the lines and keep the fluid flowing. Have you tried this method yet? If so what are you thoughts?
Will fantastic series of videos the detail that you get into your models is great, keep up the good work and why not try doing a ship, I usually have one on the go that I just keep going back to once in a while and doing a days work on it, you might get over the 1000 mark with your touch ups then, to pinch a phrase much love and keep up the good work
Thanks for the presentation.Really enjoyed the explanation /demonstration of the aircraft exhausts (and didn’t feel the least bit tired at the conclusion. Agreed that A/C exhausts didn’t exhibit the rust levels/extent as can be found on vehicles. B-T-W those are navigation lights. Required to have Red on left, green on right, and white on the tail. P.s. - Can I ask How did you reincorporate the broken/missing propeller shaft, and did you consider slightly flattening the bottoms of the wheels to represent the weight effect?
@@barpfoto Yes, it does. My wife bought a small one that doesn't blow much air, but gets hot and outputs heat instead of torrents of airflow, but l far less than a heat gun. It gets hot enough to melt styrene - don't ask me how I know this. I make a few passes and it cinches up perfect.
Thanks for your time building this. I have been building models for a great many years and I'm always up for learning new techniques. It been a pleasure watching this series. So what's next?
That's the jig Will helped John Geigle design and is sold at Masterpiece Models website which John owns. Called the Benchmate. masterpiecemodels.com/product/scale-model-jig-72-48-scale/
Trivia...In frame 58.03 at the bottom middle you see a small pointed door with a hinge on the wing...There is one on the other wing too...What they are is a signal to the pilot that his gear (wheels) are down...When the gear is down a small lever pushes this door upward and the pilot can see it from the cockpit...It is spring loaded to lay flat when the wheels are up...I found this out whilst playing a flight sim called 'Cliffs of Dover IL2' on the PC and it is modelled into the game engine...This modeller actually modelled it into his airfix kit so you can see how it works... spitfiresite.com/2010/04/airfixs-big-spitfire-improved.html I know the later Mks of Spits (Mk4 onward) it changed and they had a small rod that came up through the wing closer to the leading edge... Great build and lots of new stuff I learned on this build...BIG THANKS!...from the UK
I'm going to miss this series now it's finished. 😁 I can honestly say I watched all of every episode and thoroughly enjoyed the entire build. While my knowledge of Spitfires is somewhat limited, especially when compared to your encyclopaedic understanding of the subject, I know what looks right and that aircraft ticks all the boxes.👍👌 How did the guy you were coaching get on? I hope his one turned out well too. Looking at the photos, the thing that gave it away as not being a "real" plane was the plain white backdrop. This makes the model stand out clearly, without distracting the viewer but I wonder if either a photographic backscene or diorama would work in it's favour. Even just a simple, grassy airfield surface maybe. Just a thought, more than a criticis.😁 One final thought Will: in your own words, you're "trying to tell a story". How far do you take that? What I was thinking was - has the plane just landed, or has it been serviced since it landed, or cleaned? Following maintenance, would there be the odd boot-print on the wings? How big is a 1:48 boot-print? Again pal, just a thought and I'm only half-serious.😂 A fantastic series, educational, entertaining and *very* interesting to follow. Thanks for taking us with you on this great build. 👏👏 Cheers for now, Dougie. so..... what's next?
Will have you tried the mil paint by alclad they are fantastic they go down a dream I am currently working on the tamiya 1/48 scale Lancaster and I must say its looking really good
I wonder why Tamiya didn't just go frameless on the back of the glazing where it meets the fuselage? Just butt the glass up against the fuselage so the seam is between clear and metal.
better way to remember which approach lite is which is RED, RIGHT, RETURN. If the plane is coming toward you, it is returning so red light on right side
It came out really nice! Gotta admit though after 30 minutes of talking about sprue remnants in the first episode I jumped to the final reveal. 🥱 But good job!

Well done Will
Many thanks for your tutorials

Well done will. Loved this series and although I think of myself as fairly experienced, your eye for details has been extremely valuable. Thanks.
Great series for a relative beginner like me and great photos at the end. What a great looking model. Thanks.
Great series. Watched it all--good, bad, and the ugly. I learned a ton and I'm ready to push on with my next project.

Can I ask How did you reincorporate the broken/missing propeller shaft, and did you consider slightly flattening the bottoms of the wheels to represent the weight effect?
Very nice Will - if you put the EZ line on limp you can tighten it up by putting a soldering iron near it - not my idea - Plasmo
I use a small hobby hair drier which still generates a lot of heat in a controlled way.
huh. i kenw that worked with stretched sprue but not ezl.

great looking Spitfire just a small question where did you get your aeroplane stand from?
thank you! that's the bench mate from masterpiece models. it's a product i designed. =)
Thanks for your time building this. I have been building models for a great many years and I'm always up for learning new techniques. It been a pleasure watching this series. So what's next?

Excellent. Not sure about BIRDIE.
what is S C & G ?
I hear the term a lot on your videos . thx
smcg. the scale modelers critique group on facebook.
@@barpfoto oh ok ,thanks very much!
I will try to find that now Will . Thanks for all your videos !
Will why did not you glue and paint the entire canopy first instead of removing it and gluing it afterwards?
because there will almost always be flerm inside when you're done.
@@barpfoto OK you are probably right. Never done a model with closed canopy before. looks really nice also.I will try it
Thanks Will.
Great job. I will crassly copy-paste your speckle effets on my spitfire 😀😀😀.
What is the next plane project?
Have a nice day.
You almost expect her to spit fire...
I hope we'll get to see another one from this new generation from Tamiya.
Any red port left in the bottle!
I wonder why Tamiya didn't just go frameless on the back of the glazing where it meets the fuselage? Just butt the glass up against the fuselage so the seam is between clear and metal.
better way to remember which approach lite is which is RED, RIGHT, RETURN. If the plane is coming toward you, it is returning so red light on right side
Hey Will the next figure. That you build it sould match the tshirt.A predator maybe or a marine running from an alien!
To remember Port: Side of heart, heart RED, heart BLOOD, blood RED. Your heart is on your left side so, after all this, left light is RED.
Easier - Little Letters Left - "Red" is littler than "Green" - Learned in Army Flight School
Ship modelers: BB stackers..
Mnemonic re port and starboard for alcohol lovers; "Is there any red port left?"
Anyway to contact you other than leaving a comment? Thanks.
Just one more video. Bye-Bye BIrdie.
Good. Job , mine. better bro ;-) kidding T U
Jesus H. Christ but this was boring.
It came out really nice! Gotta admit though after 30 minutes of talking about sprue remnants in the first episode I jumped to the final reveal. 🥱 But good job!
