- Airfix spitfire starter set gets the cheap airbrush paint job
i will mostly just use the paints provided and all main camoflauge gets the kit paints used
i am hopeing it will do the job but the airbrush is so cheap i am not expecting great results
will the battery last and will it even spray the thick paints used in modelling compared to the cake decorating it was supposed to do
the kit was cheap as well at £6.99
the airbrush and kit puchased from aldi in uk

this is the first time i have tried talking entire time for a build video
please leave a comment on if you think its better than the videos i do that have music and speeded up build on them
all comments negative and positive are welcome
Just the right tempo, easily explained, concise and to the point, good job.
Like the commentary, it adds a load of character and information :)
@@TheRealPolecat thanks its good to know
@@melmoore6885 thanks i am very happy with this video even though it took longer to edit
I prefer it this way. great info and well thought out...
Good stuff... I am working on that kit right now, and your video gave me a couple of ideas as to how to keep it simple and still have it look good. Cheers!
Looks like a nice 1/72 kit
it is pal
one of the best starter sets in my view
Prefer the talking style video but that is just my opinion. One thing I did want to say is that I think your presentation, approach to your audience and just your general attitude toward the kits and building them is absolutely brilliant. No pretence, no down talking. just awesome mate, keep it up :)
cheers for the reply
i now just do talking videos and have given up on the music format
The camo paint looks nice and flat and laid down well.
the flat varnish helps blend it all in and makes the model look more "life like" in my view
@@yorkshiremanmodels Io ho trovato le vernici del set secche e decals che si spezzano, ma non era un kit airfix.
After watching your video`s i bought the spitfire and hurricane from aldi ,not built a model since i was 12 im 52 now and really looking forward to it.
Me and you the same
@@Jacky_man542 i came back to modelling after a break of nearly 20 years
i am 50 now and found my old models in the loft this xmas and i am thinking of doing a video showing them
Love the Airfix starter kits! Think I’ll stick with brush painting in 1/72 scale, a lot less clean up required.
got to admit its a pain especially when its lots of colours
the end results are worth it though when it goes right
Lovely jubbly mate, great work and thanks for sharing.
your welcome
Absolutely excellent video, thank you. I've just got back to building Airfix models for the first time since the 60's and your video is exactly what I needed to introduce me to airbrushing and how to do a complete paint job. And all the tips are most welcome.
Glad I could help!
Absolutely fabulous video, I've been modelling since 1969 but ive always got something to learn. Many thanks 👍
your welcome pal and great to hear your still modelling after all these years
Great job our lad. Great wash n paint work ye applied. And great tip on using flossing brushes for cleaning the airbrush.
Thanks 👍
Great work. Just bought my first airbrush. Not as cheap as yours but didn't pay that much more. Perfect for a beginner
hope you enjoy it
may be a bit tricky to start and i would advise practice before painting a model but once you get the basics airbrushing is great
and make sure you clean it well after each use so it dosent clog up
Excellent Video. Thank you.
cheers for the kind comments
Great job of a lovely little kit. I'd already bought all the £6.99 aircraft in the Aldi offer, then I got another five as a Christmas present! Have a great new year and happy modelling.
i got about 5 kits from aldi
thanks and have a good new year yourself
You made a damn good job of that, got the same kit from last year, good one sir, waiting for the next one.
thanks i was suprised how well it all built and then the painting went a lot better than expected
Position of my Aldi airbrush was OK,
I can turn the brush and still have an O ring seal so I can use my thumb rather than my first finger.
I bet you could use PTFE tape and make your own seal with the button at the front; if the O ring seal was not working.
All the best
cheers pal never thought of that
i suppose its perfect for a left hander but for right hand use the button is in wrong place
Great video and IMO better for not having music. Do you use a spray booth?
glad you liked it more with no music
no i dont have a spray booth
what i do is take a old box and use that to spray into
i also wear one of the masks with changable filters on the sides so it stops the fumes from going into my lungs
if its a really smelly paint i also open windows but try not to use them in the winter because the wife goes mad with the heating costs
I got the same kit for Xmas. Knowing my missus - she probably got it from Aldi. I was just wondering - did you get the decals included in the kit? I ask because there are none in my kit. 😢
Great vids. Subscribed. Crackin voice too lad!
the decals where in the instructions and yours may be stuck in there
if not get intouch with airfix at the spares section and they hopefully will have some to send to you
thx for sub
@@yorkshiremanmodels Nice one - will do. Thanks.
Great stuff, thanks for the build, I've bought one of those airbrushes but not tried it yet - did you really airbrush the Humbrol paints out of the little pots? I tried that once and it took ages to unclog the airbrush - how much did you thin? Finally which Windsor and Newton Matt varnish do you use?
I didn't thin the humbrol 66 and that was the underside paint
The others I thinned with Mr colour leveling thinner about 70% paint to 30% thinner
Windsor Newton galeria acrylic mediums Matt varnish
Comes in a 250ml bottle and it's yellow colour label
@@yorkshiremanmodels Fantastic - thanks
Does anyone know why this kit isn’t a starter set anymore? It’s just a standalone kit on airfix now, doesn’t come with the paints and brush
just had a look and you can still get the mk1a spitfire from ebay in starter set form but it looks like airfix now just do the mk5c in starter set and the mk1a in kit form only
@@yorkshiremanmodels annoying, wanted to do this one as my first ever kit! Looks like I’ll be making a trip to ebay then. Just discovered your channel and subbed, looking forward to future builds (ww2 is my favourite model era)
thanks for subscribing and yea ww2 is probably my fav as well
Agree on the muckyness, they do have diva tendencies, but they work mate, happy modelling
😉👍
think they all are at times pal
Hi ,can you tell me how to make this panel wash please ,I'm new to model making so I need all the help I can get 😊
i normally make mine using oil paints and thinners
will see if i can get a video sorted showing how to make panel wash
@@yorkshiremanmodels that would very much appreciated thank you
Do you have a compressor that you sue with the airbrush or do you just need what come with the cheap airbrush kit?
the black square bit below the airbrush is the compressor and its rechargable
@@yorkshiremanmodels OK might get one to get into airbrushing my models
This turned out incredible! I'm just about to start modelling, and I have the messerschmitt starter kit, and this video will be an amazing help! In regards to the decals, do you put anything down first before applying? Many thanks!
Yes I always try and use decal solution but if your starting out in all honesty it's not something you need but is useful as it helps to stop silvering
I have used loads of decal fix solutions and personally the best I have found is Mr mark setter but micro sol is just about as good
And welcome to the hobby is extremely relaxing and fun to build kits
@yorkshiremanmodels many thanks chap! Will hopefully get started on mine this weekend! Look forward to more content, the talking defo works FYI. All the best in the new year!
@@PaulFarrerMusic cheers pal
i think talking is going to be worth the extra time it takes to make the videos as more people seem happy with it
Nicely done and very informative. From God's own county - Cheshire !!!!!
cheers pal
worked all over country and love cheshire is beautiful
@@yorkshiremanmodels I want to start modelling aeroplanes again having retired and collected quite a stash but remain nervous of buying a 'full on' airbrush due to cost but. This article showed such experiments can be conducted using these cheap 'cake decorators' as they appear to be advertised. So your video has encouraged me to perhaps bite the bullet. I also like the way your pin wash brought out amazing detail all over but especially, underneath your lovely spitfire so, thanks for that.
@@randlerobbertson8792 your welcome pal
Model making has never been so good with products being available for making kits from cheap airbrush to cheap artist oil paints all helping to improve our models
I wanted to get a sparmax airbrush kit but donr think ir will be a good idea as i live with my parents and the only really room i could airbrush in would be my bedroom which im gessing wouldn't be very safe as dont they creat alot off airborne particles and alao mess
i would only recomend airbrushing in a room with lots of ventilation
the airbrush with independent compressors can be loud especially in a small room
I’ve been hand painting for ages and I need an airbrush £10 is wow I’m off to Aldi tomorrow for definite what’s the name of this airbrush? Thanks. Nvm I’ve just found it and it’s not available anymore 😢
keep a eye on the website as they sometimes are available
Hi, what airbrush are you using
it was a cheap airbrush at the time from aldi
they soon sold out and not sure if you can get them or not
try aldi website to see if they have any in stock
@@yorkshiremanmodels Thank you 😊
where can i buy that airbrush lol
think they have got better models out now
had it 2 years and its still going strong
my daughter has left paint in it a few times and i have had to give it a proper clean but it still works great
