I've always liked your style of brush painting, it's something that's overlooked to the point of being ignored with some of the largest modelling youtubers using their airbrushes and years worth of products that they've accumulated, advanced weathering.. I love hearing you talk and I'm looking forward to many more hours of video.
I see some negative comments. To me this is not the place. The ting about modeling is it yiurs you can do it however you want. Regardless if this guy is good or bad in your opinion. There always someone better and there is always someone thats not experienced. This video i see is to help people learn from it. Or to help people get into modeling. Instead negative comments how about show support and help ithers gst involved. What if it was your son thats just beginning or your father whos done it when he was a kid. I'm wounded army vet EID 2011, then in 3 yrs of therapy afterwards . It helped with therapy both of my wrist being broken to other injuries and surgeries, and my ptsd. Regardless it looks like a museum piece or not its therapeutic. It has helped me and other soldiers. Sorry i just dont like seeing negative comments. Cause we all started somewhere and were not born experts at it.
Agreed. The point of this video is for the beginner. Therefore it needs to been with that in mind. So why not build it as so. The end result is achievable by a beginner building it as he has. If he had built it as a more experienced builder achieving a far better result a newby to the hobby would probably be disappointing with his result and give up. Its the grass routes videos like this which helps the hobby grow. I've been building kits since the 70's yet still enjoy watching these beginner guides.
Negative comments are not needed. Discussions on approaches which vary are always good. The key is experimenting and enjoying the hobby. I like to watch different ways to do stuff. Even refine my own sometimes ill fated attempts!
this has helped my modeling so much, i have watched it hundreds of times and use it on all my aircraft builds so thank you so much for your dedication and continue the brilliant work
Been building scale models for 30 years and I've never washed a model before painting. I use acrylic, enamel, even artist oil paints. Spray paint, airbrush, paint brush, the whole nine. Not once have I had a single model have any problems with the finish afterwards. I have models that I put together and painted well over 20 years ago and they were never washed and have never had a problem with the paint finish to this day. I would never tell a person how they should or should not handle the assembly or painting of their model. The great thing about this hobby is that there are so many ways to achieve some very interesting results. If washing your model prior to assembly works for you than by all means you should absolutely give it a good scrubbing. I am only conveying my own personal experience. In thirty years of not washing models I have never had one have a problem with the paint job. On a related note I tend to paint as I go instead of putting a model together and then painting it. I will assemble some sub-sections and paint them before moving on. Other modelers might find that a waste of time. It's all a matter of personal preference. Having said all that, I would just like to add that you did a fine job with this Hurricane and it turned out very nice. Excellent work Sir.
Thanks! Airfix does recommend washing the parts, it’s in their instructions. Granted, I don’t always bother but there have been times when excessive mould release on the plastic has prevent acrylics from sticking, instead pulling back and pooling in blobs
I just want to say thank you because this video helped me and is is still helping me with my first model. My dad has a ton of models and he allows me to look at them and open them up but I have never built one before. So thank you
Hello Matt, many thanks for posting this video. I have followed it whilst building my own model and found your tutorial very helpful indeed and a great learning experience. This is only my 2nd build as a fully grown adult. I’ve really enjoyed it and found a new, relaxing hobby. I made a few mistakes along the way, and belatedly discovered that reading glasses help, but overall I’m pretty pleased with the results. A Spitfire is on order from Airfix! Thanks again.
I just watched this video after just completing this kit!.I painted the lamp in silver a day didn't like it so I just stuck some Bacofoil shiny side down with PVA. I also had to use the canopy from a Revell Hurricane kit after an accident but it fitted.Your videos on the Spitfire Mk 1a and P40 Tomahawk are excellent and I've had fun building and painting them.
Greetings Matt! You know I've been faithfully back into the hobby for 22 years now (did it as a kid with my brother and dad back in the 1970s and early 80s then on my own in the mid to late 1980s so yeah been at it for a while) but I really enjoyed your whole vid' and loved how your Hurrican' turned out, nice job!
Sometimes I don't have any problems, but there have been a few occasions where the paint won't stick to the plastic - take a look at this week's video when it goes live for exactly that problem lol
Very helpful and enjoyable. Learnt plenty as the Airfix instructions are a bit light in some areas. Can’t say mine turned out as good as yours but it was my first attempt.
Thanks Matt. Once again, very informative and I’ve learned a lot from you once again. I’m on my 4th build now and wince at how I approached my first attempt compared to this current one. It’s a great learning curve and you’re right, the hours just tick away.
I was having a flashback with seeing all the parts still on the sprew, It was like watching James May's "Toys" the near life-sized Spitfire model aeroplane kit episode.
This video has been very helpful for me to learn more as to what to do with modelling, it’s really helpful for me to know what to do and why you do it and you’ve done this perfectly in this video :)
I have just built my first kit, the super marine spitfire Mk.Vc and I’m so glad I watched your video on it, i somehow still had to drill a hole for the propeller though like you did
That’s fantastic. I’m onto my 4th build now. I’m loving these videos. They are so informative and bring back my teenage years of Tarzan Grip and Humbrol paints. Keep doing what you love Milford.
Great video as it clearly shows how things will turn out. Learning from that I think I might do some things somewhat different (at the time of this writing i am building the same kit). Thanks and keep up the good work 👍
Awesome build Matt! I'm new to modelling and this has been so informative and helpful. You are so right about needing patience with this fascinating hobby as I have made many mistakes which has resulted in the build taking much longer. Keep up the good work and I wish you every success with your builds.
Thanks for a great vid,ideal for born again modellers too,I haven't made a plane model since the mid 70s,also remember the tiny Spitfire and Hurricane models that came with Warlord magazine,cant wait to start making models again,cant wait to view your other vids,wishing everyone well.
I have the complete set of Airfix Series 2 Aces of WWII, and I built the Major Tuck Hurricane. I love this series so much I bought 2 of each kit. There are a few Aces not in the series, like Richard Bong's P38 lighting, the White Lily of Stalingrad, and Lee Archer's P51 Mustang, but I have found them in 1/72 scale to finish the series!!!
Very good indeed Matt. Personally I think you should do more like this maybe a bomber or with a different camouflage. Quite educational for new modellers going through each step at a normal pace to completion. Very good looking forward to the next one thank you a great effort 👌 and a superb model finish.
Yes I agree. I was thinking about some possibilities perhaps around WW 2 Italian camouflage aircraft or how to brush paint a difference on silver, aluminium modulation on maybe F86 Sabres or F80 Shooting Stars, F84 Thunder Jets or CF100 Jets perhaps. Something to think about as a starting point I guess. In addition, maybe look at how to fix photo etch parts. Although, for a new modeller that could be considered a little more in the future.
@@ModelMinutes I think i will brush paint my models again. Due to problems with my hands, i can stop when i want. It's easier than stopping a airbrushing session.
I have some brush-painted models in the works for build videos, so there will be some in the future. I would (in an ideal world) like to upload a build video every few weeks but due to being really busy (and those videos taking ages to edit) means that i've not had the chance recently... Watch this space :)
@@ModelMinutes Thank you, yes i'd like to learn how to brush paint models as it's a different way than brush painting, im always confused, so i want to make it simple like you do. when you assembled the landing gear bay, why didn't you paint it?
I feel you may have been shopping in the wrong places, in my youth I remember the enamels being just under £1 each, with the cheapest kits being about £3
@@ModelMinutesMy whole idea of war, was not very “strategic”, shall we say. Loved the world at war (@1974), But our tv “broke down” for a couple of years (religious reasons, I think), so commando comics, and limited school library books, had to do. I don’t think kids appreciate what they have now (encyclopaedia at your fingertips was only for the wealthy, back then).
@@ModelMinutes @$2 Australian, from memory. (That was my whole allowance, shops were a Saturday morning thing, and I got into lingering at motorcycle shops, and spending the money on fried food instead😆). You would probably agree, an airbrush is needed for this hobby (easy thing these days, well, before the war with China it was😆)
Re washing parts.. Matt do you find, regardless of the presence of release agent, that paint adheres better to parts that have been washed? It just occurred to me that washing parts may also provide a better key for paint layers.
The red fabric patches covering the gun ports were also an easy visual clue that the guns had been fired. On very rare occasions pilots claimed they had when they hadn't. The fabric patches didn't lie.
Something that's just occurred to me about marking panels lines, gun ports etc.. what about a used match? Briefly light the match, extinguish it and then use the stiff charcoal end to mark the lines / ports. Gives you more control on where it goes. Alternately scrape the charcoal into a beaker and use that as the colour after adding the liquid.
@@ModelMinutes am watching this again. Love the weathered / battle damaged look. I just thought of a bullet hole suggestion.. a hot pin to melt the plastic.. maybe a short line of holes to replicate a strafing? Combined with the chipping you've done I think that would look good :) Bigger holes with the pin pushed further in and/or wiggled could be cannon hits?
I learned two things by watching your video I did not build along because I don't own the kit I learned that the fabric over the gun porch I didn't know that was there and I did not know about the yellow square on the wing for the pilot to see if there was chemical in the area
Re painting figures. Broadly speaking the same approach as yours, just worded differently :) Lower layers first - next to the skin - then above them.Then if there is any overspill it's easier to manage.. IMHO it's easier to work out than in. Also I agree. Brown doesn't make sense and I'd associate more with Luftwaffe bomber crew (tan anyway) not RAF fighter crew. I do recall one story of an RAF pilot who flew in his pyjamas, so I suppose the only really important colours are the equipment like the helmet / mask / boots / jacket / maewest.
What starter set did the skin tone come from? I get these for Xmas from my wee nephew every year good he thinks about my hobby there not built yet unfortunately, I'm more Armour modeller but have been dabbling in the aircraft recently, just mixing things up having wee changes. Got the new Eduard hind can't buy zveda lol won't do it again and the names not on any of the hind in box so wasn't from them and all the goodies in Box resin and 3D printed parts and lovely info detailing book! Looking forward to this build! The Trumpeter Dauntless and H2000 Spitfire 1.32 stunning and went and got academy's 1.35 AH 60 DAP Black hawk there's a couple more 1.35 hobby boss kits in the stash the storch and IL2, oh and airfix stukka that's a good build part from canopy needed replacing and gun sight but looking into border model's stukka see what they do! I'm sure the refilling caps I think they are wrong shape under wing's! they were ment to fix them wether they have or just left them a circle and not bending out to the shape of the wing will have to be seen when comes to UK! It's ready for release so wee shall see! Airfix new 1.24 spits nice but there's a really nice BF109 from that company who do the full interior horten 229nhas just been announced so that's on back order to come in the shop!
I can't wholeheartedly remember which set it came from - probably not a starter set but more so a "gift set" - maybe the Older Airfix 1/24 spitfire Vb, i have one in the stash and it did come with paints but i had taken them out to be used some time ago
IIRC there were more British aircraft accidentally shot down by the Americans in the Pacific as they mistook RAF roundels for Japanese rising suns. I //think// the RAF used slightly different symbols in the Pacific as a result.
Thank you very much for your inspiring video's. Like you I like brushpainting my models and I'm progressing steadily to bigger and more complex models. My painting is getting better with each model. But sometimes my varnishing lets me down and I'm thinking about using spraycans. Airbrush is not an option for me. Would you recommend using spraycans instead of brush and what brand would you recommend? Thank you.
I tend to use spray cans on occasion but usually only cheap off-brand ones. It's not often that I buy specific model kit spray cans. Whilst cans are helpful to cover large areas and get a good finish, things will still need to be painted by hand so they are methods which compliment each other rather than replace
@@ModelMinutes thank you for your reply. I think i will keep on practising painting varnish with a brush. Meanwhile I will keep looking for a spray varnish for a reasonable price and a small kit to practice my spraying skills. Please keep up your great, inspiring video's
You're gifted at modelling aircraft in one piece of course, but what about a battle damaged fighter, say one coming into land? Many years ago I tried to do one with the undercarriage only partly down - kits tend to have Up or Down but nothing in between. You would do a much better job than I did, maybe cotton wool wisps from the engine / exhausts with coolant leaking for instance or a little red on the injured pilot. Like your other challenges, perhaps a Damage Challenge? :)
@@ModelMinutes On the same lines, if you know where damage is likely to occur could you use a silver undercoat so it looks like the metal after the paint has chipped off? I had a more complicated idea ref engine fires.. perhaps a small core of red/orange cotton wool with an outer layer of grey wool and a third layer of darker to represent a central fire and layers of smoke from it? (Yes I do tend to have ideas and then let those with the skills work out how the heck to do it :) )
Nothing fancy here. Plain old brush painting on a plastic model. The way it was meant to be. If you are looking for air brush sprays and canopy masks, look elsewhere. This guy is old fashioned and passionate.
Thanks! Glad you liked it. I do pretty much do 50/50 between airbrush and hand painted models, because I think it is important to help inspire people if you can :D
Prøvd å bygge 2stk 1/72 Airfix Hawker. Alt blir søl. maler alt, før klipper ,pusser og maler igjen. Med cement. Alt ble bare søl. Mine 2 FØRSTE plastmodell forsøk, Alt greit, til cement bygging, bare søl. Jeg trenger VELDIG større scale, og lære MASSE mer huff🤣
Ok.. after MM's reply I went back and re-watched a part of it and realised he went from talking varnish to the matt paint job which is were I got confused. So just ignore below or read the whole post if you like 😜 Hate to say this, but Satin is not a Matt finish, the clear varnish said Satin on the lid but you called it Matt. Truth is that Satin is a level between Matt and Gloss, I dealt with powder coating products and we usually got things powder coated in satin as matt was took underwhelming and gloss was too overwhelming. Love the program by the way, good job keep up the good work.
I know the difference between satin and matt and explain it a few times in the video- if you could add a time stamp for the part that you are referring to it could help answer any confusion that may have occured. I have reviewed the video and found a few places where I show the matt paint but at no point can I see where I confuse the 2 finishes
@@ModelMinutes ah holy crap, I know where I went wrong. You were talking about the varnish then mentioned matt finish, I didnt realise you meant the matt finish of the paint job not the varnish. I do apologise for that but I have to admit I watched the damn thing from start to finish (hehe) so must have lost some concentration there.. Please forgive me😇 Have to admit though youve got me interested in model building again.
Waiting for zoukei mura new full interior 1.32 BF109 G14 kit coming it's in back order the thing just looks amazing! Like the 229 it's going to be lovely! resin Captian Hartmann with the kit! Stuff border model's!
@@ModelMinutes you'll ha e to ask all the people who refer to them as 'seats'. You are the only person I've heard who calls them 'chairs'. Seat has a connotation diffete t from that of seat. It's also aatter of language style. If for insta ce you wrre making a modern fighter jet, would you say '"ejection chairs"? Sounds a bit odd. Or if you were going to book a flight for you and a partner, would you ask the person behind the desk . . .Can I book to chairs for the next flight? They'll know what you mean but . . . .You used the word 'fuselage' but you didn't call it the passenger compartment.
@@ModelMinutes Ultimately no of course not but as I mention above, it lacks style . . . kind of clumsy and do the chairs have legs . . . no legs on the aeroplanes seat as far as I can see. . . .do you refer to the safety harnesses as "chairbelts"? . . . enough. I've made my point . . . but I'll be listening . . . 😁 None of this has any bearing on what I think of your model making skills by the way . . . thumbs up in that department
Y'know I commented to agree, but then I realised how therapeutic rolling blunts is, instead of getting prerolled ones, some people want this kind of work, it is in itself a reward.
I pointed out that a certain model needs weathering. The builder said he never does it. Here is my response. Ash Bash I never weather either. Because I never build anything. Autism. But really enjoy looking at the photos. Of realistic models. The real life like ones. I am looking at a video of a Hurricane starter kit build and I am going to give it a shot. A remarkedly detailed step by step. It won't be up to competition standards but still better than nothing. th-cam.com/video/YLQ4MxoYd1k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wZeCZ2NQIt1lBtCz
Bien que vous ayez raison de dire que cette vidéo dure plus de 2 heures, il s'agit en fait de toutes les vidéos de cette série réunies. Si vous ne voulez pas les regarder toutes en une seule fois, vous pouvez commencer par la première vidéo ici : th-cam.com/video/9bXPwV9Asow/w-d-xo.html Oh, et il semblerait qu'au moins 6 000 personnes aient regardé cette vidéo supercut jusqu'à présent. . donc je suppose que cela répond à votre question initiale. Traduit de l'anglais vers le français avec google translate Whilst you are correct that this video is over 2 hours long, it is actually all the videos from this series joined together. If you dont want to watch them all in one go you can start with the first video here: th-cam.com/video/9bXPwV9Asow/w-d-xo.html Oh, and it would seem that at least 6 thousand people have watched this supercut video so far . . so i guess that answers your original question. Translated from english to french using google translate
apologies, as mentioned in previous replies the audio mixing wasn't quite right on this one - i've improved since this one was done. Generally though, it would seem that the majority of viewers prefer some sort of background music with their videos rather than just ambient sounds of the recording
Terrible editing, even worse coloring... I recommend carefully watching other people's videos to learn some techniques. Children assemble the models like this!
It's a pity this video has music throughout it. I'll never understand why modelers think we want to listen to rubbish quality music for the duration of their video. If I want to listen to music, I'll put on my own CDs.
@@ModelMinutes Forgive me, I don't wish to appear rude; I love your channel, and think you're a superb modeller. I'd just rather listen to you, your advice, tuition and tips every time. With huge respect, I'd much prefer your voice to music, as you've taught me much.

Very helpfull, I learned a lot... thx
Glad to hear it!
When I was a kid,a little tin of the enamel paint (of which you may have needed 4-5 of), cost as much as a model.
I feel you may have been shopping in the wrong places, in my youth I remember the enamels being just under £1 each, with the cheapest kits being about £3
@@ModelMinutesMy whole idea of war, was not very “strategic”, shall we say. Loved the world at war (@1974), But our tv “broke down” for a couple of years (religious reasons, I think), so commando comics, and limited school library books, had to do. I don’t think kids appreciate what they have now (encyclopaedia at your fingertips was only for the wealthy, back then).
@@ModelMinutes @$2 Australian, from memory. (That was my whole allowance, shops were a Saturday morning thing, and I got into lingering at motorcycle shops, and spending the money on fried food instead😆). You would probably agree, an airbrush is needed for this hobby (easy thing these days, well, before the war with China it was😆)
Re washing parts.. Matt do you find, regardless of the presence of release agent, that paint adheres better to parts that have been washed? It just occurred to me that washing parts may also provide a better key for paint layers.
handling plastic with your hands can make them a little greasy, so yeah washing them in general can be a good idea - but I don't always bother
Im starting tomorrow, wish me luck and thx👍
Best of luck!
The red fabric patches covering the gun ports were also an easy visual clue that the guns had been fired. On very rare occasions pilots claimed they had when they hadn't. The fabric patches didn't lie.
good point!
Something that's just occurred to me about marking panels lines, gun ports etc.. what about a used match? Briefly light the match, extinguish it and then use the stiff charcoal end to mark the lines / ports. Gives you more control on where it goes. Alternately scrape the charcoal into a beaker and use that as the colour after adding the liquid.
interetsting idea!
@@ModelMinutes am watching this again. Love the weathered / battle damaged look. I just thought of a bullet hole suggestion.. a hot pin to melt the plastic.. maybe a short line of holes to replicate a strafing? Combined with the chipping you've done I think that would look good :) Bigger holes with the pin pushed further in and/or wiggled could be cannon hits?
Thank god for a guy who says decal instead of "dekkel". When the Britz go a bit mad the language also goes...
it seems noone can agree on how it should be said
good vid mat thanks lee
Thanks 😊
I learned two things by watching your video I did not build along because I don't own the kit I learned that the fabric over the gun porch I didn't know that was there and I did not know about the yellow square on the wing for the pilot to see if there was chemical in the area
Awesome! Glad you found that interesting :D
Re painting figures. Broadly speaking the same approach as yours, just worded differently :) Lower layers first - next to the skin - then above them.Then if there is any overspill it's easier to manage.. IMHO it's easier to work out than in.
Also I agree. Brown doesn't make sense and I'd associate more with Luftwaffe bomber crew (tan anyway) not RAF fighter crew. I do recall one story of an RAF pilot who flew in his pyjamas, so I suppose the only really important colours are the equipment like the helmet / mask / boots / jacket / maewest.
excellent points
What starter set did the skin tone come from? I get these for Xmas from my wee nephew every year good he thinks about my hobby there not built yet unfortunately, I'm more Armour modeller but have been dabbling in the aircraft recently, just mixing things up having wee changes. Got the new Eduard hind can't buy zveda lol won't do it again and the names not on any of the hind in box so wasn't from them and all the goodies in Box resin and 3D printed parts and lovely info detailing book! Looking forward to this build! The Trumpeter Dauntless and H2000 Spitfire 1.32 stunning and went and got academy's 1.35 AH 60 DAP Black hawk there's a couple more 1.35 hobby boss kits in the stash the storch and IL2, oh and airfix stukka that's a good build part from canopy needed replacing and gun sight but looking into border model's stukka see what they do! I'm sure the refilling caps I think they are wrong shape under wing's! they were ment to fix them wether they have or just left them a circle and not bending out to the shape of the wing will have to be seen when comes to UK! It's ready for release so wee shall see! Airfix new 1.24 spits nice but there's a really nice BF109 from that company who do the full interior horten 229nhas just been announced so that's on back order to come in the shop!
I can't wholeheartedly remember which set it came from - probably not a starter set but more so a "gift set" - maybe the Older Airfix 1/24 spitfire Vb, i have one in the stash and it did come with paints but i had taken them out to be used some time ago
IIRC there were more British aircraft accidentally shot down by the Americans in the Pacific as they mistook RAF roundels for Japanese rising suns. I //think// the RAF used slightly different symbols in the Pacific as a result.
yeah, they got rid of the red part to help on identification
@@ModelMinutes Gotcha! I knew they did something different :)
Its not like the Americans to shoot at friendlies 😉😉
I personally prefer citadel 8:31
i've not tried that, but if it works :)
Good job on the Hurricane will you do the 1/24 scale?
I haven't checked, but the 1/48 version, with its complex cockpit/wing spar arrangement, would be a great companion to this video
I will build it at some point
@@ModelMinutes don’t forget you still have that 1/24 Spitfire MKV as well
Thank you very much for your inspiring video's. Like you I like brushpainting my models and I'm progressing steadily to bigger and more complex models. My painting is getting better with each model. But sometimes my varnishing lets me down and I'm thinking about using spraycans. Airbrush is not an option for me. Would you recommend using spraycans instead of brush and what brand would you recommend? Thank you.
I tend to use spray cans on occasion but usually only cheap off-brand ones. It's not often that I buy specific model kit spray cans. Whilst cans are helpful to cover large areas and get a good finish, things will still need to be painted by hand so they are methods which compliment each other rather than replace
@@ModelMinutes thank you for your reply. I think i will keep on practising painting varnish with a brush. Meanwhile I will keep looking for a spray varnish for a reasonable price and a small kit to practice my spraying skills. Please keep up your great, inspiring video's
You're gifted at modelling aircraft in one piece of course, but what about a battle damaged fighter, say one coming into land? Many years ago I tried to do one with the undercarriage only partly down - kits tend to have Up or Down but nothing in between. You would do a much better job than I did, maybe cotton wool wisps from the engine / exhausts with coolant leaking for instance or a little red on the injured pilot. Like your other challenges, perhaps a Damage Challenge? :)
good idea! Doing more dioramas are definitely things I want to do in the future
@@ModelMinutes On the same lines, if you know where damage is likely to occur could you use a silver undercoat so it looks like the metal after the paint has chipped off?
I had a more complicated idea ref engine fires.. perhaps a small core of red/orange cotton wool with an outer layer of grey wool and a third layer of darker to represent a central fire and layers of smoke from it? (Yes I do tend to have ideas and then let those with the skills work out how the heck to do it :) )
Dammnnnn 2 and a half hour of enjoyyyy
Lol, perfect to put on in the background of a modelling session
Yes it issss
Nothing fancy here. Plain old brush painting on a plastic model. The way it was meant to be. If you are looking for air brush sprays and canopy masks, look elsewhere. This guy is old fashioned and passionate.
Thanks! Glad you liked it. I do pretty much do 50/50 between airbrush and hand painted models, because I think it is important to help inspire people if you can :D
Prøvd å bygge 2stk 1/72 Airfix Hawker. Alt blir søl. maler alt, før klipper ,pusser og maler igjen. Med cement. Alt ble bare søl. Mine 2 FØRSTE plastmodell forsøk, Alt greit, til cement bygging, bare søl. Jeg trenger VELDIG større scale, og lære MASSE mer huff🤣
I hope you can overcome your problems in your next build :D
I built this model a few months ago and the main problem was the canopy snapping in two despite careful handling.
that's a shame :(
Ok.. after MM's reply I went back and re-watched a part of it and realised he went from talking varnish to the matt paint job which is were I got confused. So just ignore below or read the whole post if you like 😜
Hate to say this, but Satin is not a Matt finish, the clear varnish said Satin on the lid but you called it Matt. Truth is that Satin is a level between Matt and Gloss, I dealt with powder coating products and we usually got things powder coated in satin as matt was took underwhelming and gloss was too overwhelming. Love the program by the way, good job keep up the good work.
I know the difference between satin and matt and explain it a few times in the video- if you could add a time stamp for the part that you are referring to it could help answer any confusion that may have occured. I have reviewed the video and found a few places where I show the matt paint but at no point can I see where I confuse the 2 finishes
@@ModelMinutes ah holy crap, I know where I went wrong. You were talking about the varnish then mentioned matt finish, I didnt realise you meant the matt finish of the paint job not the varnish. I do apologise for that but I have to admit I watched the damn thing from start to finish (hehe) so must have lost some concentration there..
Please forgive me😇
Have to admit though youve got me interested in model building again.
no worries! I hope you pick up a good kit to get you started in modelling again :D
May sound a wee bit odd,but why is it you never paint your exhausts?
I always paint my exhausts… I’ve never left them in bare plastic on any of my builds
Waiting for zoukei mura new full interior 1.32 BF109 G14 kit coming it's in back order the thing just looks amazing! Like the 229 it's going to be lovely! resin Captian Hartmann with the kit! Stuff border model's!
sounds fun!
Hand painting. Just my speed.
😊
Trying to put the pilot in but he seems too big! Any suggestions?
Cut the feet off, sadly sometimes it’s the only way
Thanks mate, I did work it out but again thanks from a great full Aussie
Whats the best green to use
i suppose that depends on which brands you like...
Chair is normally referred to as 'seat'.
Why?
@@ModelMinutes you'll ha e to ask all the people who refer to them as 'seats'. You are the only person I've heard who calls them 'chairs'. Seat has a connotation diffete t from that of seat. It's also aatter of language style. If for insta ce you wrre making a modern fighter jet, would you say '"ejection chairs"? Sounds a bit odd. Or if you were going to book a flight for you and a partner, would you ask the person behind the desk . . .Can I book to chairs for the next flight? They'll know what you mean but . . . .You used the word 'fuselage' but you didn't call it the passenger compartment.
If it means the same and people understand, what does it matter..?
@@ModelMinutes Ultimately no of course not but as I mention above, it lacks style . . . kind of clumsy and do the chairs have legs . . . no legs on the aeroplanes seat as far as I can see. . . .do you refer to the safety harnesses as "chairbelts"? . . . enough. I've made my point . . . but I'll be listening . . . 😁 None of this has any bearing on what I think of your model making skills by the way . . . thumbs up in that department
Why are there so many aircraft kits? Where are the military models such as tanks and trucks.
Do you mean on my channel or in general?
Got friday started it
nice!
'Why is it so fiddly today?' Because you're filming it.. no other reason :)
hahah must be!
That tube glue is so outdated now!!!
lol, yes, other glues are available
But it still works 😉
Wait just a secomd... where does you get that brush... that isnt a tooth brush is it... I love the size of the bristle head... what is it called
Not sure, a round head toothbrush 🤷♂️ I think I got it somewhere like Poundland
There is a reason they invented the airbrush. That's all I have to say.
They invented airplanes too, but doesn’t mean I fly everywhere
Y'know I commented to agree, but then I realised how therapeutic rolling blunts is, instead of getting prerolled ones, some people want this kind of work, it is in itself a reward.
Yep,they wanted to make money and satisfy impatient people.
I pointed out that a certain model needs weathering. The builder said he never does it. Here is my response.
Ash Bash I never weather either. Because I never build anything. Autism. But really enjoy looking at the photos. Of realistic models. The real life like ones. I am looking at a video of a Hurricane starter kit build and I am going to give it a shot. A remarkedly detailed step by step. It won't be up to competition standards but still better than nothing.

good luck with your build
Most helpful video I have seen for a beginner by far. Can't go wrong as you show everything. Looking into photoetch for the cockpit.
Plus de 2 heures pour une vidéo de modelisme ???!!!
Qui est assez patient (ou assez fou) pour subir ça ???
Bien que vous ayez raison de dire que cette vidéo dure plus de 2 heures, il s'agit en fait de toutes les vidéos de cette série réunies. Si vous ne voulez pas les regarder toutes en une seule fois, vous pouvez commencer par la première vidéo ici : th-cam.com/video/9bXPwV9Asow/w-d-xo.html
Oh, et il semblerait qu'au moins 6 000 personnes aient regardé cette vidéo supercut jusqu'à présent. . donc je suppose que cela répond à votre question initiale.
Traduit de l'anglais vers le français avec google translate
Whilst you are correct that this video is over 2 hours long, it is actually all the videos from this series joined together. If you dont want to watch them all in one go you can start with the first video here: th-cam.com/video/9bXPwV9Asow/w-d-xo.html
Oh, and it would seem that at least 6 thousand people have watched this supercut video so far . . so i guess that answers your original question.
Translated from english to french using google translate
@@ModelMinutes o. K . !
Merci pour cette précision!
I'm still trying to decide if this is a serious modeler or if this is some sort of parody.
Banter!
May as well not bother washing the parts if you don't rinse the soap off of them after.
I rinse the parts offscreen
Wow this vid is long
It’s all the parts stitched together
@@ModelMinutes Yes but still long for a vid
Why horrid music. Not relaxing.
apologies, as mentioned in previous replies the audio mixing wasn't quite right on this one - i've improved since this one was done. Generally though, it would seem that the majority of viewers prefer some sort of background music with their videos rather than just ambient sounds of the recording
Terrible editing, even worse coloring...
I recommend carefully watching other people's videos to learn some techniques. Children assemble the models like this!
Watches a video aimed at beginners (possibly even kids) and then complains the level is too low 😂
It's a pity this video has music throughout it. I'll never understand why modelers think we want to listen to rubbish quality music for the duration of their video.
If I want to listen to music, I'll put on my own CDs.
You can always mute the video and put the subtitles on
@@ModelMinutes Forgive me, I don't wish to appear rude; I love your channel, and think you're a superb modeller.
I'd just rather listen to you, your advice, tuition and tips every time. With huge respect, I'd much prefer your voice to music, as you've taught me much.
@@philjones6054 I think in my more recent videos the audio levels are better and my voice is more prevalent
amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
