It does look like a lovely kit to build so based upon this video I bought one. Thanks for taking the time to film, edit and post this. Incidentally, upon checking my stash, the Revell 1/48 Sopwith Camel is also a reboxed Eduard kit. Bonus. Regards, John.
Always a great 34:12 minutes spent watching your work, Alex.....great job....so much interesting commentary and an easy watch. This video has come just in time as I'm currently building a 1/32 scale Ni 17 and was getting stuck so you've reinvigorated me to continue again. BTW...thanks for your Bartsharp recommendation.....bought a 186....brilliant!!
I'm 10 years old and I model, I'm a bit more intelligent then other kids my age, and that's why I chose to model, I do it quite well in my opinion, and I believe im on my way to becoming a master in this art. Your channel is great and inspiring, great work!
Hello Alex. A have a kit Nieuport 17 1/32 with Decals for version Ruffo De Calábria. The Ruffo mark was a Skull on the left and right side. Ruffo and Baraccha were friends. Belíssimo trabalho Alex. Mais uma vez vendo seus vídeos. Merry Christmas and happy new year
Excellent job on her. Truthfully it doesnt matter what people think about your drinking. You dont sit there and get drunk or anything. They are not buying your booze either. You build nice looking models and thats the point of people coming here. I would like to see you build a large wooden model ship. One that I can follow you along building. If I need to buy you the model let me know. Thanks for this video. Take care
Very nice biplane there, i tend to shy away from them due to the rigging and them being planes in general, but you helped me there to build up mojo to make another attempt :)
The turnbuckles are the problem here... And you Will find that 80% of armour weathering technics are used on biplanes... If you want it weathered of corse!
Hmm, I agree, don't drink and drive! I agree, don't build model airplanes and drive! You do outstanding work and enjoy watching your videos. Please keep up your awesome work and videos! Thanks again for posting this wonderful work. OBTW, I enjoy a drink too, but there's no way in hell I'll work on my models after a cocktail!
A beautiful model. Alex, your videos are very informative and relaxing. I don't think I could do mud splashes on such a beautiful aeroplane! Tamiya bare metal silver is very close to aluminum pigmented fabric. Also did you know that the vulcanization process was different back then ? The tires could be Gray or even pink! As for three scotches and a knife , well, your a brave man! I'm kidding always better to model when you are relaxed. Good video. I loved it!
First off, you’re a terrific modeler! I love how you got mud splatter with an old toothbrush. Very cool! Second, nothin wrong with scotch, but I’ll stick to bourbon. As for how much you drank, it’s nice that you made it humorous, but to my way of thinking it’s nobody’s business how much you drink. As for drinking and driving, I wish the drunk driver that hit me head on would’ve taken that advice. It cost him his life and damn near mine. Anyway, enough of that, your model looks fantastic and thank you for sharing your skills and your build! God speed
Great work Al, loved this video so many tips etc. I contacted Bartsharp to enquire about doing a review etc they got back to me which was great but once I think they saw I only had so many subscribers I heard no more which I thought was pretty poor as it says to me they only mix with the higher classes so to speak but that's just how I felt. I'll be sticking with my Harder and steenbeck. They do look nice and good for the price. Sadly I'll never know. Lol. I hope you are OK and your family
As you know i don t consider myself "Higher class" never did and never will. I understand what you are saying but shouldn t you BE sending them a mail saying Exactly that? Cheers
No I know, you don't and you know I've never got a bad word say about you and never will I was just trying to get across how they had made me feel with my experience with them. Sorry if I've caused you any issues, was just meant to be a " my experiences with them". Sorry again Al anyway, hope your well and what a fine fine job you've done
Hey Alex, Revell sent me, until today, everytime a spare part. Even when it was my fault. But it takes sometimes up to 6 weeks. And I live like 50km away from there Headquarters in Bünde/Germany. Btw. Very nice Model. Keep it up.
Hey Alex. Another fantastic build. I think its hard to get really good detail on a small scale model. But you can do it. Pour one for me. As always. Safe, happy, and healthy brother.
Nice build.I believe the Revell kits may be a reboxing of older Eduard kits,which are good, I read that somewhere. for mixing I mix both paint and thinner in the cup using a disposable pipette to draw the paint and thinner together,push it out, do that a couple of times. (credit to Steamgeezer and son for that trick)
It looks as though you've put the Aldis sight on back to front, it should be at the same angle as the Lewis gun above it, bit obvious really. The rest looked very good though.
Nicely done. I have two questions: when you are joining the top wing to the rest of the assembly it looks like you are using a glue other than plastic cement? Is that CA glue? Is that better at this point? And 2) what are you buffing the painted wing with?
Thank you for showing us the airbrush. Thinking about to buy me one. Very nice model. Very nice drink. A malt a day keeps the doctor away? Was it like that? ;-)
Don't hold your breath for a response from Revell. I once bought a boxed set of two locomotives from them (kit number 02158), and instead of sending me the parts for the 2 locomotives, one sprue was missing and instead was doubled from the other kit, so I could only build one of the models. My e-mail to Revell regarding the issue was completely ignored.
So Revell take the Eduard kit that as a profi-pack retails for around 18 Euros, take out the masks, the PE and reduce the decal options from 5 to 2 and then resell this for 24 Euros! 30% increase is a kind of rip-off don't you think?
@@AlexModeling Sorry if this criticism offended you, I'm not questioning the quality of your work, I was just clarifying and correcting a mistake you made

Actually i finished a wood ship here, recently on a 10 episode series
@@AlexModeling I know I watched it. I liked it.
Another great build Alex
Nice work Alex, I love building string bags, challenging but rewarding in the end. And beautiful to look at.

Great build Alex as usual. If you ever run out of whiskey give me a shout.😊
Another nice build Alex. Looking into a Bartsharp airbrush, the last I seen their not yet sold in the States.
Try my link maybe it helps you
Proper nice that is 😉👍

Nice One and Cheers- Relearning Patience! Along way to to go¥
thank you

Very nice
3 glasses of scotch and no ice? A nice scotch is hard to beat when you just want to kick back and enjoy.
I noticed in the finished shots at the end that the decals on the top wing are different. Are they supposed to be that way?
yes they are... check the online instructions
Oh, okay. I wasn't trying to imply that you messed up or anything. Just looked a little weird.
Nicely done. I have two questions: when you are joining the top wing to the rest of the assembly it looks like you are using a glue other than plastic cement? Is that CA glue? Is that better at this point? And 2) what are you buffing the painted wing with?
COOL BRO
Hey Bro how are you?
@@AlexModeling all good thanks stay safe :)
Great instructional video. Wonderful result. One question, what type of ventilation do you use while airbrushing?
I Will do a video showing all my sets... Want to? I can do it
👏👏👏
Nice!!!! ;)
obrigado 🙂
Thank you for showing us the airbrush. Thinking about to buy me one. Very nice model. Very nice drink. A malt a day keeps the doctor away? Was it like that? ;-)
More or less! :) Use my links if you want to check those Airbrushes
Great job !
It is really fascinating
A wanna buy one of this for my uncle, can you tell me where you get the stickers pls ?
Decals come with the kit
Love your work! What kind of rigging thread are you using?
Easy line!
@@AlexModeling Thank you!
👍👍👍👍👍👏
Large and small red dots...hmm. I never knew that
Yep... It was a "Thing back then... Huuummmm!

Pretty much!!
not a single word about rigging. its soo nice, but frightening.
the plane is made out of fabric over a wooden frame, not wood over a metal frame
Beautiful

Kits do sometimes have missing parts believe me
let s hope i get the replacement on this one
I can't find a french n17 in the same scale
I got the Testors and is not as detailed as this one !
Cool
Alex - you lost me with the deck tan - you seemed to completely cover it with the oil paints
Yes it seened i know... Oils are transparent... When you Stretch the Paint you can actually ser underneath... What you see is just the inicial stage
