Hey James, did you know: the Shijo-Ohashi is a bridge representative of Kyoto that crosses the Kamo River over Shijo Street. It is also called Gion Bashi
Thought I'd make a model to keep me off the drink...... Oh no thats my glass of Chablis !!! Classic, just classic James May does Airfix while completely clattered 👍👍👍
Nice Job! Sometimes the enamel matt varnishes can separate in the pots and they need a proper mixing (like for half an hour) to get it all working again, I have experienced this exact problem on a number of my kits. I tend to use acrylic varnishes now but they come with their own problems where if they are too cold, or again not mixed well enough, they can leave a white residue . . .
Hey James, you should try doing a life size version of that spitfire, perhaps you can conscript some school kids and air cadets to help you.... maybe even model the pilot after yourself? just a thought
My goodness James that looks great for brush work. You took me back to my primary school days, some 50 years ago. I can smell the Humbrol paint in my mind. Show me more. 👍🏻😀
I am SO PLEASED you are back, James May, flying the flag for Airfix and model-making, and in such an interesting way. I followed every step of the construction. Thanks, let's have more.
I think this channel should be renamed to JM's employment tube, as mr. May is not unemployed. Car show presenter, our man in Japan, wine enthusiast and cooking guru... that's a lot of work. And yes, we would love to see more videos. Hell, you could read to us the entire history of aviation and we'd still watch it.
The point is he makes video for this channel when he's not employed, not getting paid to do the videos here. Yes the GRMN Yaris unboxing video was indeed when he's employed but we'll gloss over that one.
James as usually nailed it. First he smashes all dream build bicycle nonsence and now he demolished all thsoe building-modelling videos with chipping rust for 2 hours straight. Love it
Someone get him one of the large LEGO Technic cars and maybe direct him to the promotion video of the Bugatti set (it's almost something like one of his Toy Stories episodes).
My first plastic model airplane actually was an Airfix 1/72th scale Spitfire and that was in 1968. I wish I still had it, actually. And since it looked exactly like this one, I didn’t really miss the time lapse photography.
If you have issues with the varnish, just add more and more layers of it. It'll eventually matte out. Though do be sure to mask the canopy to keep it clear. Some cheap wood glue, perhaps thinned with water, should do a fine job and be easy to remove. By the way, next time you travel to Japan (haven't had the opportunity to watch your latest Amazon production yet) try picking up some kits by Tamiya or Hasegawa. They have some exquisite kits you might enjoy as well. Kudos, from a fellow model builder!
I just purchased this exact kit to build for this exact reason, imagine my surprise seeing a video of a man I deeply respect tutoring me on how to do it! Well the good news is, that respect is a bit less deep now. I still haven't built the sodding plane either. Got a laugh out of me though so cheers for that.
I never thought of James May speedrunning something
His name contradicts everything fast.
Yes, what did they do to him in Germany?! 😔😇
Nah he must've read the entire instruction manual and sorted the whole package content and tools
Better than that dream guy
He was speedrunning it under Captainslow%
Wow 1 second speed run, that’s gonna be hard to beat
Nice to see you here
Haigs how are you on every video I watch?
James vs Haigs carrier landing when
fancy seeing you here
try landing james may on a carrier ha!
Ultimate trolling from the May

Wonderful timelapse, truly stunning content. Keep it up James
HAHA
Wait you do a impossible level

Hey bim
search " jeremy clarkson bim"
Hey bim
@Ross Bourne and i hope it never dies
Hey Bim, guess what?
I would love to watch James build something like this step by step.
Watch the assembler! It’s on TH-cam as well.
@@dadsergeantandgardener5319 Thank you i will look for it
@@thegaffer1558 It's actually called The REassembler.
He also built lego with Hammond once
Id like to see someone finish assembling HIM!

Liked and subbed.
Let's build and paint some things together when all this nonsense is behind us! :)
Nice to see you here
@@missionslos8856 I concur. The internet is a small place, afterall

0/10 didn't begin with "yo, what up".
Also my ears are bleeding from the ending.
@@MausOfTheHouse bro don’t complain.
No it must begin with, “hello”
@@sbef hi
But what you couldn't see was that he had his baseball cap on sideways.
Exactly the content I’ve been waiting for! This reminds me of the Air Fix episode of James May’s Toy Stories.
Niko Lavin just watched that a few days ago! lol
“To keep me off the drink”
*Pushes glass of wine*
Anyone else disappointed that we didn't actually get to see Mr. May build the thing?
It seems we have a different understanding of the word "complete", Mr. May.
Thought I'd make a model to keep me off the drink...... Oh no thats my glass of Chablis !!!
Classic, just classic
James May does Airfix while completely clattered 👍👍👍
Clattered? Nonsense, he was chablised.
Slowly, doing something so quickly the naked eye can't even keep up!?? Truly brilliant man! Thanks for the detailed video.
Didn't remember I was a subscriber to this channel. Glad that after 4 years of no content this is what James decided to share with us
Insanely detailed! Time just flew by!
Nice try Hitler.
My God he finished it so fast, it wasn’t even one frame.
James is secretly a ninja
I learned so much from BIM Mays ability to build an Airfix spitfire kit in 1.23 secs . Well done that man .
Nice Job! Sometimes the enamel matt varnishes can separate in the pots and they need a proper mixing (like for half an hour) to get it all working again, I have experienced this exact problem on a number of my kits. I tend to use acrylic varnishes now but they come with their own problems where if they are too cold, or again not mixed well enough, they can leave a white residue . . .
I have waited 2 years for this day, the king has returned!
After 2 years without a new video, James May suddenly uploads a new video. Keep it up Mr May!
Hey James May, I just want you to know I'm a huge, huge fan of Grand Tour and your the most sensible of the trio.
Wow! Nice plane! I am a scale modeler too!
Hey James, you should try doing a life size version of that spitfire, perhaps you can conscript some school kids and air cadets to help you.... maybe even model the pilot after yourself? just a thought
Brilliant idea Glen, I can't believe he's never thought of it before.
Pretty sure he did do a life sized spitfire model.
@@SMunro someone doesn’t get sarcasm 😂
James May: World record Speed Build.
Barely had time to unzip
My jacket.
I'm so glad I've stayed subscribed to this channel all this time. Absolute gems of videos.
My goodness James that looks great for brush work. You took me back to my primary school days, some 50 years ago. I can smell the Humbrol paint in my mind. Show me more. 👍🏻😀
So James blacked out on Chablis. And when he came to found he’d built a model air plane
This is why you should turn your notifications on for such an awesome channel!
I am SO PLEASED you are back, James May, flying the flag for Airfix and model-making, and in such an interesting way. I followed every step of the construction. Thanks, let's have more.
This is the most James May video ever and it’s beautiful
I think this channel should be renamed to JM's employment tube, as mr. May is not unemployed. Car show presenter, our man in Japan, wine enthusiast and cooking guru... that's a lot of work.
And yes, we would love to see more videos. Hell, you could read to us the entire history of aviation and we'd still watch it.
But in between all those shows, he is unemployed.
The point is he makes video for this channel when he's not employed, not getting paid to do the videos here.
Yes the GRMN Yaris unboxing video was indeed when he's employed but we'll gloss over that one.
I think he spent all that on his pub and due to lockdown he has no business
bulk of videos here are from 6years ago those things did not exit then.
James has the soul of a modern teenager stuck within a 50+ yo man
It's been 2 years, but here he is speedrunning airfix. Beautiful.
The best thing about your video is the in-depth detail presented! I really learned a lot from you technique! Cheers!
I wasn't expecting this today!
Return of the king, flood the cowling - plenty of it!
"Over The Wing..... Flood The Cowling..... Plenty of it....... 👍👍👍
James May, the Dream of unboxing videos.
I love the way James cuts his videos. It's perfect.
1940: “Tally Ho!” Taka-taka-taka!
2020: “Everyone, remain in your homes! It’s too dangerous to go outside!”
It's not that it is too dangerous, it's that this will never end if we keep passing the virus back and forth.
Haa! You Tube knobbers, watch this! LOL! Juan
Ere Juan, wotcha doing on here? Should't you be reporting on a broken arrow or flying that 777 of yours betwixt LA & Sydney?
James as usually nailed it. First he smashes all dream build bicycle nonsence and now he demolished all thsoe building-modelling videos with chipping rust for 2 hours straight. Love it
A nice surprise to see another video from this high quality, highly regarded channel.
Wonderful would love to see more
“Hang on that’s my glass”
Comedy gold😂
I have missed uploads to this channel. Please continue with the same extraordinarily work you put into this video.
This is exactly why I stayed subbed to this channel
Making a model plane to keep me off the drink.
Drinks alcohol:
😃✌️
Hey Bim, great model, please do more! If you reply to this comment I'll be able to lord it over my flatmate for a week
a 1 minute 23 second video of James May just made my day 🤣
Thanks James. ‘ery nice.
I was addicted 60 years ago to this stuff....even made the mop tops from Revell!
ビムで大草原不可避
Someone get him one of the large LEGO Technic cars and maybe direct him to the promotion video of the Bugatti set (it's almost something like one of his Toy Stories episodes).
Hi James, of course we would like to see more. Whilst lockdown i build a WW1 fighter with my son. Happy days and a flashback to my youth...
James May you're an absolute star, a true gentleman, and a scholar! Love your TH-cam keep up the good work
so perfect
So beautifully badly made
Bim!
If you pause it and look real hard, you can see the assembly taking place. Amazing 😅
I would love to see more of you IN-DEPTH, SUPER DETAILED PROCESS, builds.
Is this some grand tour challenge,he usually post stuff like this on drivetribe but if not then I'm really glad he post it on here
Come on James film the whole process and educate us on the history of the spitfire and airfix.
Watch the Spitfire episode of his series, "Toy Stories". It's what you want and more 😂
Who knew model making could be so fun?
Gee thanks James, model-airplane-putting-together blue balls is just what I needed today
Member when model airplanes came with glue, paintbrush and paint!
That’s just the starter sets.
Captain Slow speedrunning a scale model build?
How is this possible?

I love that toy show you do along with top gear and grand tour. Big fan!
JAMES MAY WE LOVE YOU JAMES MAY! Please upload more of these videos!
My first plastic model airplane actually was an Airfix 1/72th scale Spitfire and that was in 1968. I wish I still had it, actually. And since it looked exactly like this one, I didn’t really miss the time lapse photography.
That's a really fast speedrun, now I know what to do. Thanks Bim.
I learnt so much from this build. Thank you.
Such an in depth video that I was able to build one along side it! Keep up the great work captain slow!
Wow James made something in keeping with you tube humour and not harking back to telly from 30 years ago. Colour me suprised.
Best editing on TH-cam by far! Please keep the content coming.
I just love James May, I can watch him do/talk about anything
She looks glorious! I think that satin finish is perfect! Most matt paints tend to develop a gloss with age.
If you have issues with the varnish, just add more and more layers of it. It'll eventually matte out. Though do be sure to mask the canopy to keep it clear. Some cheap wood glue, perhaps thinned with water, should do a fine job and be easy to remove.

Kudos, from a fellow model builder!
Loved your technique, very informative. Cheers!
as a scale modeler myself yeah i would watch these james may is the best person to do it
I have this same kit on my bench right now as well! Nice job on the build sir!
What a in-depth build
Remember the AIRFIX magazine? Glueing the canopy on before you paint the pilot is another thing that comes to mind.
Nice job James. Enjoying a beer as I work on my 1/32 Spitfire.
Very in depth I love the part where you make the wings really helps
Loved the time lapse
Great work Bim. Proud of you.
I'de love more of this kindof content James!
Thank you, JM. I badly needed those laughs today.
Glad to see your doing well during this outbreak.
Figured I’d never hear from this channel again but here we are
Excellent! I built this EXACT kit a few weeks ago! 👍
Christmas arrived early 😊. I prefer the slow and pedantic builds, but this was a fun departure from the norm. Thanks Bim!
Listening to this with headphones is such an ethereal experience
Concise and informative.
It was especially helpful when you described how to
Thanks, James
I just purchased this exact kit to build for this exact reason, imagine my surprise seeing a video of a man I deeply respect tutoring me on how to do it! Well the good news is, that respect is a bit less deep now. I still haven't built the sodding plane either.

Best speed build I’ve seen in a. while
Captain Slow absolutely obliterates time records.
Very nice model Mr.May! Keep up the skillwork!
A truely epic build.
Incredible. Truly outstanding.
