      I've been building them for about 57 years and bought myself an airbrush a couple of years ago. Not an expensive unit, under AU$100 and with tips from youtube modelers, learned how to use it with some success. Buying spray paint cans here can be very expensive but the airbrush has improved my painting enormously. I realise not everyone has spare moolah lying around to buy one but I'm glad I did and I have this one waiting to be built.

    Hi Matt, nice to see someone else forget something (stand slot). Way back in vintage days we didn't have airbrushs or spray cans (the only spray paint cans for sale were car celulose so no good at all). I made many 'natural metal' aeroplanes, P51, B25, Ki42, Ki61 and B29 being memorable with the silver (humbrol enamel) applied by brush. No obvious brush strokes. Large brush and long even strokes (preferably chordwise on the wings) is the secret.
    I like the vintage classics.

    • @ModelMinutes
      @ModelMinutes  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes, I have done quite a few larger models with a brush and its all about that long drying time so the paint levels :)

    Fantastic job on this vintage Airfix kit Model Minutes. That is one stunning Shooting Star. Great idea to prime/base the model in black spray paint. Especially when it comes to painting metallic colors. The biggest surprise with this kit is the fact Airfix back in the day added an instrument panel to this kit. That is a rather unique feature. Often it was just the pilot and his seat in those kits. I might have to get myself one of these kits. Great video too!

    Good result, your unboxing prompted me to buy one. Currently it's part built, mine has fit issues around the jet pipe, but I think some filler and paint will resolve it.

    Nice build. I really like these non-airbrush 'basic builds'.
    It's possible to get very good results with a traditional brush, as evidenced by quite a few of your vids and others like Quick Kits (although sadly he seems to have moved on to exclusively WH40k these days).

    • @ModelMinutes

  • @BobMuir100
    @BobMuir100 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Well hello Matt, that build came together very well. I was pleased you chose to tidy up the landing gear area as in flight this may well be shown. Personally I am tiring of 1:72 and look for 1:48 as my standard although choice does slim down as price creeps up?! The larger scales become price prohibitive I feel and choice well is there any?? Airfix seems very 72nd focused for 2024?
    As you have shown, can, air, brush all work just fine, my lead is airbrush as it’s better in many ways and once one has invested be a real shame not to learn!! A tip I was given and found it successful was a colouring book; cheap, varied and many ‘levels’ to buy.
    Good video as always.

    • @ModelMinutes
      @ModelMinutes  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Airfix does indeed have more kits in 1/72 than 1/48, but there is still a sizeable selection on their website (or has been in the past) such as Spitfires, 109s, Mustangs, F86, Javelin and others - their 1/48 Sea King is quite impressive.
      I think Eduard has a good selection of 1/48 subjects, but yes - as the scale goes up there is more plastic in the box which does push up the prices

  • @blastpop
    @blastpop 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The kit turned out nice. As to the blue on the nose not quite matching I have a possible idea/solution. As the transition is abrupt if you lightly painting on to the decal near the current transition with the blue paint not in a straight line it might be less noticeable? Not sure but it might be worth a go. Your eye is drawn to the current transition- if not so abrupt it might play a trick with your eyes an not be seen as easily. Either that and the decal gets obliterated. Roll the dice and take your chances.

    • @ModelMinutes
      @ModelMinutes  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      because the decal has a flat edge where it meets the paint, you will always get a sharp transition - i think the only option is to paint the blue instead

    I have been building model kits since 1984, starting with some 1/72 Airfix boxes, and the only time I tried to use an airbrush for a few months, at the beginning of the 90s, I hated it so much that I was about to abandon this hobby, since then only Humbrol enamel colors and brushes and with the experience accumulated over the years I can say that even if not perfect the models I build are quite good, however both I and the friends for whom I build them like them and this is enough for me.
    by the way, I don't even do the washing because I don't consider it painting but just smearing the model and letting that dirt do all the work, removing what's left over.

    Very good Matt indeed. I always dread myself though how to mask the canopies. I wonder if you have not done this already show especially new modellers how to mask the transparent canopies. I always find it a nightmare to do this right. In particular WW2 bombers. Additionally it makes me wonder where you can buy masks or if Airfix might start to include in alot more kits old and new. I think possibly modellers like me might welcome it. Although the cost of the kits might be a little more. Worth exploring thanks.

    That was, and still is, a lovely little kit. I just wish that Airfix would reintroduce the brilliant F86-D 'Sabre Dog' kit, as a companion piece.
    I've managed to build models for 50+ years, and never once felt the need to use an airbrush. I find using paint, and brush, to be very therapeutic. I do use rattle cans occasionally - usually Halfords acrylic grey primer on scratch built models. If it was good enough for Derek Meddings, Ian Scoones, and Brian Johnson, when they worked for Gerry Anderson, it's good enough for me.
    Nice video, and great results.
    Tidy. 👍👍👍

    Nice idea, but I still think that some paint schemes (german) are possible with airbrush only, or at least convinient to be done with airbrush.

      I do find the mottling on some paint schemes easier with an airbrush, after all - that's how they were done IRL

    Very nice build there, and also shows off that ya dont need an airbrush t get an awesome finish.
    I have always used brushes for my builds :3

      Thanks! Yes, sometimes an airbrush can be overkill for a project :)

      @@ModelMinutes even on larger builds, it's possible to get an awesome finish with brushes. ^.^

      Maybe I should stop using it and sell it in a few years as a collector's item . . . tbh i've used this on a few models in the past and there is still about 50% left, it has lasted and age. It's not my favourite lacquer varnish though, I think it is a little blotchy and can be a bit sticky

    I'm an old modeller (began in early 80s) but still using brushes. I have used airbrush in the past, but it is not for me. I really didn't enjoy used it, really boring. I sold everything, airbrush, compressors, accessories... to a friend.
    So, yes, brushes are not the perfect tools, especially for camos, but it is the way I enjoy the most this hobby.

    If one is a beginner in the plastic model building world I would strongly recommend them NOT to use airbrush. I think it is both cheaper and better to learn the basics of model building with brushes or maybe, with a spray can. Air brushing is not cheap and it may even scare a future model-ace away from the hobby with all the numbers (pressures and so on). An airbrush is something you should pick up along the way to perfection. Learn the basics first, get used to them, find ways to fulfill your ambitions with your project. I even have thoughts about finding ways to create the look of a used airbrush without even using one, just with brush or other cheap tools. For the beginner...the first step is to feel satisfied with the finished work, not to compare with an airbrushing modelbuilding ace. It takes years and a lot of mistakes to get even close to the perfect build. Prio one should be to have fun and enjoy the building process, and the cheaper, the better!

      good points, I see in many online spaces that the belief that using an airbrush is the go-to solution for smooth paint. But without the basics of understanding paint and how it is applied, (and with the specific difficulties of airbrushing) it can result in a negative experience
