Absolutely awesome! 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Machine Guns: spray them silver and then varnish them. Allow the clear coat to fully cure and then spray the guns in your choice of semi gloss black. Allow the black coat to dry overnight and then, very gently, using a sharpened cocktail stick and a moistening of appropriate thinner, gently rub away at those areas of the gun that ordinarily receive wear.....😜👍🏻👍🏻 The silver undercoat will start to show through but the modeller must adhere to the usual rules, re acrylics versus enamels and which thinners work with what and will not disturb the protective layers already used.....just a thought....😜
Can you imagine actually getting in those things and taking off. Especially into combat with no parachute, no armor plating or any kind protection. Those guys were crazy
This makes me nostalgic for my scale modeling days. I'm blown away with the level of detail in the kits and aftermarket details like belts, buckles, etc. I had to fabricate my harnesses out of our old toothpaste tubes and cockpits were detailed with heated and sculpted sprue. Instrument panels were drilled out, acetate glued behind the holes and Xerox of instrument panel images scaled down behind that. Washes and what not were what I used to highlight dimensional details like you did here. The one thing I did when rigging wires, control cables and tension wires for WWI aircraft was heating and stretching sprue. Those laser straight "wires" could then be cut to length. I would spray them in aluminum and use a fitch fan sable in a dark gray to create the twisted wire appearance. I truly admire your work here. It was spectacular. One thing I could of done, even in the seventies and eighties, was dissolve sprue like you did for filling gaps. I used a modelers putty and it took for-ever to sand and blend. Your technique is absolutely brilliant.
As a mostly model car builder, the two WKW kits in my collection frighten me. Perhaps one day. You did a spectacular job. And Black Star is always a great choice for outro music.
This is the perfection on plastic . Tremendously well done James . The wheatering is light , but consistent and visible , but without overwhelming it . Thank you very much for this amazing vid . Congrats !!
It's not just a model it is a work of art and you, James, are a great artist! Excellent build and I like the fact that you keep in the mistakes and show us how you rectified them rather than edit them out. Keep up the good work my friend and stay safe!
Brilliant build! So glad you repositioned the joystick. You were extremely lucky to get away with not cleaning the joint surfaces of paint tho, WN models have really precise tolerances!
@@lpjmodels Yes it was :) I've had a bit of a binge in the last day or so.. I've seen the Strutter, the SM 55A, the Fokker EV, Fiat G50, the Snipe, the tutorials on washes, leather, and wood, and I'm currently watching the Fokker Eii 'Max Immelmann' :) It's all MOS6510's fault *lol*.. he posted a link yo your video of Werner Voss and his motorbike.
Fantastic work!!! I have subscribed to your channel, as you have a nice relaxed style, and your work is wonderful. I would be screaming like a banshee if I tried rigging. I would try, but then try to find a way to make a prop plane into a jet...
The rigging isn't so bad once you get the nack. The first one I rigged was the airfix eindecker. That was slow work but really fun and effective. I got a little lazy with this one because I didn't add turnbuckles but for my next ww1 I'll be shaping up and going all out !
Brilliant James. It is nice to know I am not alone in my fear of attaching the upper wing on a biplane. I have a few more WNW kits in my stash, I am excited to get started.
James. Excellent work! You produced a stellar warbird. I was looking forward to seeing your tutorial on painting wood grain effects since I'll be building a few more Wingnut Wings kits where that skill will come in handy. However I didn't see it in "the description below" or as the case may be the description above. But I think I should be able to find it in your video list. Thanks for sharing!
Hi james, that was perfection at its best, I was hoping to get one of their kits, but I left my run too late, the one I was after was I think the Junkers or was it the Dornier, it only had the single wing and no much rigging, cheers mate and best wishes from Australia.
You really bring the underlying structure of the wings to life with your strut-masking and airbrushing! Also, nobody on the planet comes close to your ability to paint “wood”! Beautiful work! I’m a but surprised you didn’t chip up the propeller or front engine cowling. Is that something that didn’t really happen irl?
Hi James , loved your video . From NZ and have a Wingnut wings Junkers J1 I’d like to gift you , if you want another model to build . Don’t think I’d do it justice
Congratulations! You have achieved what almost no other modelling video producer has: to pay just as much attention to the commentary and speech-style, as to the modelling itself. Far too many videos are unwatchable due to the awful voices and unconscious speech habits they include. Excellent :)
This was a really hard choice to make do I show the end result first to entice people or keep it quiet for a big reveal , Maybe I'll try it the other way in an upcoming video!
I was away from the Pc when setting up the premier and monetising, and on mobile you don't get the option to fine tune. this has been fixed and there are less now.

I've watched at least 20 of your videos and every time you say "carefully" some child in the world stops crying.
lol if only !

James, absolutely beautiful build! So glad to see WNW kits still getting built, and in your case, masterfully done.
thanks @Scale_History, i got a few more in the stash to do, projects like this need a big break between tho :P
great bit of modelling. One niggle would the end of the seat belt which is several layers of fabric thick bend like that.
Nice disaster recovery! Top shelf work!
thanks mate
A real masterclass in building and painting from the best in the business. Great video.
thanks Sera !

thanks Ferbie, I have been trying to include more fixes when I can, makes things a bit more informative than the 1. 2. 3. of my older vids.
Авиация первой мировой очень интересная тема, всегда интересно посмотреть на сборку такого аппарата! Результат отличный 👍
Well done James, great craftsmanship
cheers John :)
That is a cool scheme. Definitely one you wouldn't see . Fantastic job.
thanks Will! It was a tricky one to settle on, but it won in the end!
Excellent build, I have the Sopwith Dolphin, waiting in the wings.
STUNNING !!!!! no other word for it really !!!
Excellent job and video. Thanks for showing us some of the troubles you had along the way and the fixes too
Brilliant build! So glad you repositioned the joystick. You were extremely lucky to get away with not cleaning the joint surfaces of paint tho, WN models have really precise tolerances!
thanks Mick! I think that may have had something to do with the upper coaming. Control column wasn't glued in place to make sure it was right later
Just in time for my train ride 🤗
Hi James.. I watched another of your FWW aircraft builds yesterday. Your wood effects are /stunning/ especially as it's only 1:72 scale!
Thanks Julian ! Was the that strutter? Was really proud of that one
@@lpjmodels Yes it was :) I've had a bit of a binge in the last day or so.. I've seen the Strutter, the SM 55A, the Fokker EV, Fiat G50, the Snipe, the tutorials on washes, leather, and wood, and I'm currently watching the Fokker Eii 'Max Immelmann' :)

As always I'm late. Really another great build. WW1 biplanes have been the bane of my modeling experience. Thanks again, really great job.
thanks Wade ! im still uncomfortable with upper wings :D
@@lpjmodels Same

Quite remarkable work
Very enjoyable to watch and an excellent choice of markings.
Wonderful build
thankyou Mark!
Very nice build James. I love the WingNut models. Thanks for sharing. Happy days and model on! 😎🇨🇦
thanks peter !
Beautiful job. The cockpit is a work of art.
very beautifully done! the fix you had to do around the cowling is incredible.
Very cool themed Snipe!
cheers man!
Still got this to do in my stash. Very much looking forward to it.
thanks James, its a great kit!
Beautyful ! Thanks for sharing the precious advices !
Nice work James, I think you nailed the timber effect, well done.
Brilliant detailed work. Thanks for sharing.
What a lovely finish! 😘 Really subtle finish 😉
Thanks Basil much appreciated mate
Absolutely Stunning.
Beautiful construction!
Even with the issues it’s a beautiful build 👌👌
Thanks Dave!
Excellent build James. It's such a great subject & absolutely love the livery with the painted on markings. Happy Modelling.
Very enjoyable build, subject and video. Looking forward to your next project!
thankyou Mr Alleyman Sir !
Nice build James 👌 👍
Beautiful, and a joy to watch. Thanks for uploading.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Great job for me. Congratulations.
Thank you very much!
Superb presentation and work, a real masterpiece!!😍
many thanks Phil :)
Lovely build, mate 👍
thanks so much mate!
Stunning work ! Would have love to also see the wicker seat and the cushion painted. What color did you use for them ? If you remember
Brilliant James. It is nice to know I am not alone in my fear of attaching the upper wing on a biplane. I have a few more WNW kits in my stash, I am excited to get started.
You and me both, literally every time I have to do it I worry it will all go wrong, i think it harks back to old, poorly engineered kits
@@lpjmodels My other problem is impatience. I always want to rush into the next step and then get myself into trouble.
@@robertlucic7598 I'm 100% with you on that one 😆

Whoops ! I'll add that sorry . Thanks Mark
Nice work James and nice job of the fit problem!! Alan C.
thanks Alan :)
I'll miss the premiere as I'll be at work. Haven't even had time to watch it on Patreon either. Hope all is well with you.
sorry you missed the premier Mark ! hopefully catch you on a future one :)
Again lovely work and good recovery. Border Models Lancaster next? 🙂

Fantastic job as always!
thanks S D!
Really making me want to crack out one of my forbidden WnW kits and build it up!
do it !
Awesome work.
Thank you!
mmmmm that snipe looks soo good :)
Beautiful looking airplane! :)
really nice job !
This is gonna be great!
Another stunning video mate!! Love it! Are you going to bloodstock this year man?

I’m a but surprised you didn’t chip up the propeller or front engine cowling. Is that something that didn’t really happen irl?
Totally awesome. All the best for You! ;)
Thank you! Cheers!
I’d love to build a WNW kit one day. They are so expensive and rare I’d be afraid of messing the kit up.
they go together so nicely, you'd have to make a really drastic mistake to write one off !
I have the same fear but with painting. I'm a middling decent figure painter but haven't done much scale modelling for many, many years.
SIMPLY WOW!💯💥
thanks VMS you da best !
Outstanding
many thanks :)
Would have much preferred it if you'd used the RAF transfers and markings that came with the kit.
Masterclass mate cheers ✌
*WONDERFUL!!!! 🤩🤩😍😍👏👏*
Pure artistry to see you do this. I'm curious, how many hours over how many days to build this?
Dear friend, what compressor and airbrush do you use when painting models?
Hi Vladimir, I use a harder and steenbeck infinity CR 0.15 with a sparmax tc620 compressor.
Very nice.
Thank you
Magnifique 💎
Sweet!
It was a tragedy that Wing nut Wings went under. They made the finest scale plastic models on the Planet. RIP WNW.🙏🏻
Awesome 👏
Thanks Scott 🤗
Suuuuuper!
But the propeller is mounted in the wrong direction.
Hi James , loved your video . From NZ and have a Wingnut wings Junkers J1 I’d like to gift you , if you want another model to build . Don’t think I’d do it justice
Beautiful build James, but you can’t just plonk that seat down without telling us how you got that lovely worn patina on it !
Thanks Bruce, I got you covered: th-cam.com/video/bBP291DI2WU/w-d-xo.html
essentially I used that method :)
I'm really sorry they quit making these model planes!
Thomas was pissed.
Is there any hope of WNW ever coming back, or is it kaput for eternity?
Whose version of "Black Star" is that playing over the end?
Oh - just saw the credits. Well done, man!
Congratulations! You have achieved what almost no other modelling video producer has: to pay just as much attention to the commentary and speech-style, as to the modelling itself.
Far too many videos are unwatchable due to the awful voices and unconscious speech habits they include.
Excellent :)
you should have put a transparent piece in the side you just covered all that detail
Enjoying the channel and videos, but I admit I'm not a fan of seeing the finished product as the opening shots...hugely anti-climactic.
This was a really hard choice to make do I show the end result first to entice people or keep it quiet for a big reveal , Maybe I'll try it the other way in an upcoming video!
the quantity of adverts on this video made it unwatchable for me.
Easy to block on a PC, still hoping to find some way of stopping them on a phone 😥
