- Last build of 2020, the Revell 1:32 Spitfire was a fun kit to build without any major problems. This build is of the 416 Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force, England 1944. Feel free to leave a comment.
Up till now I have been put off buying Revell 1/32 kits because of a lack of space and negative reviews I have read and listened to by self appointed “Spitfire Experts “ who seem to have a grudge against Revell. Thank you for a really enjoyable video showing how good this kit is.
Excellent job on the Spitfire....terrific painting and weathering, too. Good to see someone building a 1/32 scale (my favourite) plane.....not so common on YT. Will be checking out to see what you have for 2021 and waiting for that notification bell 👍
Thank you for your kind words... 1:32 is my fav scale as well, since it allows for more creativity, more detail... and is easier on the eyes... ;) (the price of age). There will soon be another 1:32 which (I hope) will turn to be a really good build.. However, the next one will (probably) be a 1:72 Lanc... Cheers:)
Fantastic detailing, love the process and the finish. 😀👍
I'm building this one.... learning new techniques...making mistakes.... correct them...really enjoying myself and learning from vids like this. Right now i'm struggeling a bit with te fitting of the cockpit in the hull. So i took it apart, watched your video again and hoping to do it correct this time.
Well done Sir!!! Always a pleasure to watch a professional! 🎖️🏆
I am no professional by any means :) Nevertheless thank you very much for your kind words!
The music matched fantastic and as a beginner I've learned alot. Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much! :)
Que belleza! Un trabajo de primerísima calidad, me fascinó su técnica de pintura. El video bien editado. Muchas gracias
Really nice build. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Charlie. Thanks for watching :)
@@wbpsmodels3452 gran trabajo 🇨🇱🤘🤘
Nice job! I’ve two of these to build, I’m now inspired !
If you have the same kit, you will enjoy it. It's fun to build and nicely fitting. Thank you for watching ! :)
I really enjoyed watching this video! Great work!
I would love to have this spit as a decor but I can't paint 😭😭😭
Thank you very much Kevin :)
Anyone can paint ! And the beautiful thing about paint is that if you do make a mistake it can always be corrected
Thanks
I enjoyed the video and build. I will have to get one for my stash. It appears very similar to the Revell mk2 kit in terms of construction. 👍
Thank you for watching. Do get one. it's a good kit, worth building!
Semplicemente STUPENDO, FANTASTICO, SPETTACOLARE 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
mille grazzie ! :)
Masterful sir. Great job befitting a great 'plane.
Thank you :)
Is this representing a Canadian squadron? Nicely done!
Thank you very much for an excellent video.
I'm currently finishing my Revell 1:48 D.H. Mosquito B Mk.IV and this is the next build in line.
I watched the video a second time and made notes of your build process, so I'm gonna try to build in roughly the same order to see what I can come up with.
I am however painting with brushes, so I may have to do some things differently, but it will still be a great learning experience.
Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching... :) As for the Mossie... be careful with the landing gear assembly... it gave me a hard time . Again, thank you :)
@@wbpsmodels3452 Yes, the landing gear assembly as well as the mounting of the engines was a nightmare when I followed the instructions... The second motor and landing gear I did my own way and it worked much better. The mossie is almost done, I'm just waiting for Micro Sol and matte varnish so I can place the decals, varnish the plane and then do a tiny bit of weathering.
Wow soooo very nice!,, building the same model now thnx for the tips
Thank you very much
Great to see such a skilled build..just bought one of these and hope it looks half as good! Was worried about the cockpit decals settling in but they look fine. Might not weather it as much but wow! Lots of hints, maybe after 2 years of being back to modelling I might eventually get nearly as good before I retire...
Thank you for your kind words Ellis. I just completed one year back to modelling myself (after a 30 yrs hiatus)..
@@wbpsmodels3452
Was about 40 years hiatus for me- so glad I found the fun again before lockdowns..airbrushing is a positive challenge but the results are fantastic and so glad I can watch great videos to take the mysticism away from effects that bewildered me for so long..keep up the good work :)
Beautiful
Well done!🙂
Nice build, I really liked the underside of the model.
Just a personal preference, I think you went a little heavy on the chipping. Not every panel line needs to be chipped, really only panel lines that are used by ground crew should be chipped, along with areas that were used by pilots to access the cockpit, so some areas that should have been chipped weren't. Also, you need to be a little more attentive with the decals, the great big bubble, along with some smaller ones, on the port side wing roundel were very noticeable. Remember, on a large scale model, small imperfections are more noticeable than on the smaller scale ones.
Just my thoughts, all in all not a bad build.
Thank you for the remarks. I will keep them in mind. This is what I call constructive criticism and it's very welcome. Thank you for watching :)
hallooo...another great jobb!!! congratulation , i watch your video and it sems always so easy!!!...i fineshed a revell model but you are in another planet and i...😂😂 congratulation again for your skills and i'm watting for the next, ciao from Roberto Venezia
Ciao Roberto. Thank you again for your kind words. And have a great new year too :)
What does 50% gray mean in the first pot of paint you show? Do you dilute it with something? Thank you very much for answering . I am a Spanish fan and this model is going to be the 1st one I want to make. I'm going to try to follow your steps. thank you so much
50% (color) means that I dilute the color with paint thinner : 50% color, 50% thinner.. There are many thinners and schools about them, personally I make my own thinner with 70% distilled water and 30% IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol). Although Vallejo air are -theoretically- ready to use, I always dilute them to avoid clogging the airbrush. Additionaly, thinned-out paints allow for more coats and better color control. Good luck with your model, thank you for watching!
very beautiful model, very réalistic
I like your page. May I ask what head gear you are wearing in the video and where can I get one. Thank you, Keith Hartley, Chandler, AZ.
That headgear (a visor with variable magnifying lenses attachable) was purchased from a street vendor a few decades ago. There are tons like this in the *well known" e-commerce outlets, either UK/US or the chinese one ;) Thanks for visiting!
Really nice
Thanks a lot :)
Well done, really a beauty.
What's the reason for using an oil based wash?
The washes have to be "different" to the underlying varnish and colors. Since I use Acrylics for base colors and varnish, the washes have to be oil based so that they can be "washed out" if necessary... Also, oil washes have lower viscosity than acrylics (they are thinner) and go in all small nukes and crevices without leaving a thick layer. Thanks for watching :)
@@wbpsmodels3452 The lower viscosity is an advantage for sure. I'll give it a try. Thanks.
Very nice model but would of liked to see flap mech
Looks Great!I‘ve made the other Version😃It’s a really nice Kit,a lot Fun to build!!!!👍👍👍
Indeed it was fun to build.. Thank you for watching :)
Excellent work!
Many thanks!
Great video. I am building the same model. Will take some inspiration but won't be as good for sure
I'm sure it'll turn just fine... the kit is really good overall. Mind the decals, they're a bit thick... Thank your for watching! :)
Overall a good job. I agree with others that the chipping is excessive. No aerial required. They didn't have them, except, I think from the elevator tips back to where the roundels are. The 'chin' cowling is one piece. You needed filler there.
Did you attach the propeller with glue? The instructions say it should snap but it didn't
Wow, excellent work 👏 I can build the model, but no way that I can do the kind of work on the paint job like you.. I want to build this model for my father, who loves this plane, and are slowly losing his eyesight.. Would be cool to give him this kind of present.. Ah, well..
It doesn't take special skills.. all it takes is patience. You can do it... and after all, it's the sentiment and the motion that counts. He will appreciate it nonetheless! Thank you for your kind words ! :)
@@wbpsmodels3452 Thank you 😊
Después de poner la capa de aceite . Con el bastoncillo de los oídos. Que le pones mas de aceite o usas otra pintura? Muchas gracias por contestar. Estoy siguiendo tus pasos
The ear stick (q-tip) is used to clean the excess wash. I dab it in mineral oil or white spirit and clean the surfaces after the wash.
I just bought the Spitfire!
Nice!!!! a worthy buy! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! :)
Excelente video desde chile abrazo 🇨🇱🤘🤘😁me encanta el aeromodelismo
muy gracias :)
Excellent build and video, can I ask where you got the model support used at the start of the video please,?
It's made here in Greece by some guy who does this mainly as a hobby... It's made using wood boards and a laser cutter. for the time he is not interested to export.. Thank you for watching!
amazing work! very talented!
Thank you very much!
why didn't you apply clear coat to the decals?
is it easy?
Impressive keep up the good work
Truly 1001% excellent!
Thank you very much :)
Superb work 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Pete! :)
Hat's off
Decals by Cartograf, Pianoro, very close to my hometown Bologna and also homeland of Italeri. Anyway the flaps are in a wrong position since in Spitfire they were either up or 90° down, not in any intermediate position.
Maybe they're travelling.... frozen in time.
Edit; forget that; no pilot...
@@archerry6457 :-D
Yes I was going to say this....unusual for this period. I don't know of any other aircraft where flaps were either up or down. Most pilots retract them just on touchdown to prevent damage.
Beautifull Bird but ailerons are diferencial devices. One are down and another, ever stay at opposite position... Only flaps UP and down together... Very easy to fix....
Could you tell me or give me the link to the support you use to keep the plane suspended in the air so I can paint it?
There is no link... it was made by someone here in Greece who does not make them any more... I'm sorry
Thanks for this amazing video!
Thank you for watching :)
What paint do you use? with me the paint doesn't catch on the plastic, I use ITALERI ACRIYLIC , greets
I use Vallejo model air acrylics and primers. Use primers prior to painting. Clean surfaces with alcohol before primer. When applying paint, use many light layers; paint catches better.
Thanks, greet tip !!
Well done, sir!!!
Thank you kindly!
With what did you dilute the varnish? Or you sprayed it on straight out of the flask?
I usually dilute the varnish 50-50. Thanks for watching! :)
@@wbpsmodels3452 is there a specific brand you use, what's best?
@@moxxiloquita2048 I don't know what is BEST... I use Vallejo products in general but sometimes I might use Tamiya or Mr Hobby... Usually I mention what I use during spraying in the video.
@@wbpsmodels3452 ok cool thank you for the info.
My dad made this kit in the 70`s. Does the wing dihedral look ok from the front view? I`m sure he was unhappy with something on it if I remember.
Not this kit. This one is a 2014 kit.. so your dad must have built another - older- version of the spit. Thank you for watching.
@@wbpsmodels3452 Ah yes sorry, it was the mark 11 kit he made. There are so many spit kits these days
Hight Skill 👍
Fabric control surfaces don’t chip aluminum. Try to research the construction of the aircraft and visualize how it’s used rather than randomly applying techniques.
Bruh would u stfu this guy did a great job. That’s like saying the Empire State Building sucks because the lighting rod is the wrong color
So realistic it could almost fly 🤗
Thank you very much :)
These are less than £20 on Amazon atm (£18.50 on Prime ) . Thought I'd just check it wasn't a turkey before buying.
Def not a turkey... only drawback is the lack of engine.
@@wbpsmodels3452 for me engines mean the fuselage isn't going to go together easy ! . I had real trouble getting the cockpit in exactly the right place , plus the wings were warped and needed super glue and clamps. But great for the price.
33:00. This Spit has an unusual canopy hood. As far as I know they were equipped with a sliding canopy, but this one seems to have a hinged one. Or is the guiding slot a bit too flat?
No, this is not a hinged one.. it's supposed to be a sliding one.
Higth Skill 👍
Is this even possible to paint like you if I use only the enamel paint by revell? Or do I have to use two different paints, one based on water and the other enamel, or just use paint based on water?!
I tried to do this shadows dffects on my first models but it still doesn't work?! Even I can't to brush such thin lines like you did with the vallejo primer?! Is it the enamel paint that isn't good enough to do such thin lines?
The paint type isn't as important... You can do the same job with either type of paint... There's a multitude of video creators here in YT who use lacquer (or enamel) paints almost exclusively and their builds are way better than mine... The way of application is what makes more difference. An airbrush allows you to have better control over the quantity of paint used and the thickness - it just takes a lot of practice till you can do it. Another important aspect is the degree of dilution of the paint - more diluted paints allow for more subtle effects.
Hello, from Canada. I am going to be building the Iron Maiden version of this kit. I noticed the goggles you are wearing. I need something similar as my eyes are not what they once were. Who makes them/what are they called?
Hello James.. The magnifying goggles I'm wearing, were purchased from a nameless street vendor, several years ago but I'm sure that if you google the term you'll come across several suggestions. Not to mention that if you join a couple of modelling groups in FB, you'll be flooded in "suggestions" for similar merchandise.
You ROCK!!
Hi, I have watched a couple of your builds now, and I noticed you keep mentioning things like’50% Vallejo primer’ or ‘50% grey’. I am not sure what you mean by this. Do you mean you have thinned it 50%? Without saying what the other 50% is, it doesn’t mean much.
When I say "50% Grey", it means that the final solution contains 50% color and 50% thinner. In general, I dilute almost all paints to nearly 50-60% color (the rest being thinner) so that my airbrush doesn't clog that often. (It still does but not so much). When I use a color mix, I usually give the analogies of all colors used. Thank you for watching :)
Could just be TH-cam/camera but that green looks like it needs to be a little more yellow, if you see what I mean?
Te quedo perfecto!!
Gracias!!!
@@wbpsmodels3452 hablas español?
hablo Google Translate ;)
Anyone try using a sharpie perm marker for the the pre panelling/shading ? Ive used dark pencil with success , thinking of trying the marker ( with fine tip ) straight lines for one.
Could work... Let me know once you try it!
Love the microwave turntable ;)
it is very practical indeed ;)
I realize there are no absolutes in life, but I thought when they increased the horsepower of the Merlin engine in the Mk. IX Spitfires, the planes were also fitted with the slightly more pointed, longer chord rudders, to allow for more directional control over the additional horsepower. ?
The original Mk IX was rushed in to counter the FW 190 and shoe-horned the new two-stage supercharged engine into a MkV airframe. Airframe changes, other than those necessary to get up and running, came later. It was only meant to be a stop gap......
The 'pointed' rudder came with the Mk VIII and continued with the XII XIV etc. You do see many restorations of the Mk IX nowadays with them, as I guess the old Mk V rudders are very rare now. I think there was a pressurised high altitude Mk VI with them too.
i still dont know, is a primer necessary???
In my opinion, primer is essential... helps the paint stick to the surfaces... especially with acrylics. Enamels and lacquers, don't need it as much, but for acrylics I find it necessary.
For me it is always tricky to mix the airbrush colours. In most bottles I loose a lot of colour because it sticks inside the glas where I mix them. Has anybody some advise for me? I see you use some kind of vaccacine-ampulls?
Indeed they are.. I asked my vet to save me the vaccination vials after he uses them.. I sterilize them in hot water and IPA and then I use them to mix and store mixed paints. I label them and store them... I almost never use paint directly from the original container. See the mini-rack video to see what I mean.
Late comment nut is it worth to buy for €20?
Definitely... I bought it for much more!
Are there gun and cockpit upgrades now?
Most likely there are... Eduard does a hell of a job making upgrades for various models.. but I haven't ever purchased any such upgrade kit.. all of my kits are OOB.
Is there a way to magnetise the landing gear to be able to have it up or down ?
Not one that I can think of... this kit had option for either wheels up or wheels down. With some kits, I seem to remember that you could fold the wheels in or out... but not this one. I guess it could be done with some scratch-building and modifications... But this is not something I'd try for now.
Una volta che hai usato il colore ad olio marrone poi con il cotton fiocc con che diluente rimuovi eccesso?
Grazie
White spirit.
Con il white spirit aspetti che il lavaggio ad olio si asciga?
Oppure lo rimuovi subito?
Grazie
was the gloss varnish just brushed on?
No. It was applied with airbrush and left to dry and cure overnight.
Nice gonna give that chipping effect a whirl
glad you liked it... try to use as thin a brush as possible.
Hello, at 18:10, what is the rotary stand called please ??
The rotary stand is the glass plate from an old microwave oven. The wooden part, is a stand made here in Greece by dome guy who likes to make such things as a hobby.
how big is the model?
pls
If you check at 2:01 you'll see it is 30 cm length with a wingspan of 35 cm.
It's a much better kit tan the 1970s spitfire that Revell made.
This is a great kit indeed.. by the end of the 70s (77-78) I started building the 1:24 spit by Airfix... I never got to finish it... Then I left for Canada (studies abroad) and it was thrown away.. I bought it again in 1988 and finished it in 2019.
Fabric covered control surfaces don’t show chipping. Try to research the construction methods used and visualize how the aircraft is used and serviced in the field when you apply weathering. Don’t just random apply the techniques.
actually a good point
I've built 3 spits and didn't know that,don't I feel silly, oh well ill build another one
Mk9 Spitfires had alloy covered ailerons
No the mk 9 Spitfire was metal surfaces, ailerons and rudder so chipping is A-OK!🙂
8 German messersmitt pilots disliked this vid 😂
Oh well.. you know how those BF pilots are... :P
@@wbpsmodels3452 great build mate have you seen those add on kits in the UK 🇬🇧 for Lights, sounds and engines ?
Exhausts are too clean for the amount of carbon deposits on the fuselage
Nice work! Just the guns are not at the right place in my opinion… but great video, congratulations.
Just a tip: you thin your primer way too much. Vallejo primers can be used straight from the bottle without thinning, but if you feel you absolutely must use a thinner, use way less than you did in this video. Right now you thin the primer so much that it actually becomes watery, and all the pigment is drawn from the center to the edges, which is not what you want when priming, and definitely don't want when using an airbrush because right now the edges become darker than the center. At that stage you might as well just use a brush because you've lost all the feathering qualities that an airbrush provides. I might go as far as to say you've thinned it so much is has become a wash.
You are right on some level but there's no way to keep the airbush from clogging if the primes is not thinned... Second, I prefer to apply the primer (and the paints thereafter) in multiple thin layers so that it grabs better on the plastic... What I should do (and you are right about it) is lower the pressure so that the coverage is even in all areas and build gradually. At the time of the spit I only had a 0.2mm airbrush and clogging was inevitable even with 40% thinner so I had to go way higher... Nowadays, I use a 0.3 mm airbrush for wide areas and I can go as low as 30-35% thinner. Thank you for the comment and thank you for watching. :)
A model in this scale should have an engine...
I totally agree... Stay Tuned, I have an Eduard Profi 1:48 spit on my stash ;) Thanks for watching!
Not good😢
Wonderfully built. Nice weathering! Good luck on mine. Have a great New Year
Thank you very much! Good luck on yours! Happy new year to you too! Cheers! :)
Lovely job!
Glad you like it! Thank you!
