Thanks so much for the tutorials on putting this kit together! I just started modeling again after a 30 year hiatus and this was very helpful for my first model after all that time. I can't believe people ask you to change the way you pronounce things! He's from England people, they do pronounce things differently sometimes! Sheesh! I really like your channel and am glad I found it. Thanks again!
Modelling cuts across the entire spectrum of people - unfortunately that includes the worst as well as the best of people! Thanks for the kind words, and as for others (often Americans, but not always!) commenting on pronunciation, it's like water off a duck's back....I have the security of coming from the country that invented the language, so I don't feel threatened! 😀
A brilliant model maker well done mate keep up the good work
Many thanks!
I love you build step by step
Thank you!
Excellent instructions!
Glad you think so!
Think nothing of the subscription Sir, it's the least I could do after the great content that you put out. That and the fact I've been looking at a 24th scale Spitfire for years and was afraid to take the leap. I get to appreciate vicariously through your build. Cheers
I appreciate that - thank you!
I have this kit sitting in my queue as I am just getting back into this area. The video is very useful
Glad it was helpful!
Hey Alex thank you for your high-quality content. I started modeling again and with the advice of yours it will be alot easier
Great to hear!
Love Spitfires fantastic warplanes. Spitfires also Swedish Air force & Belgian air force. 🇸🇪
I’m very late to the party, but just stumbled across your videos! I’m preparing to build this kit and your videos are extremely helpful! Thanks for posting this series as it will definitely help me on my build! Love your channel and I am now a subscriber. Looking forward to more great videos!
Glad to have you here, and thanks for the kind words 🙂
Excellent! Concise step by step approach. Increased video speed moves things along nicely. This is the way build videos should be done. Thank you sir
Thank you!
Coming together very nicely now sir, can't wait for the next update with the merlin.
Thanks!
Great….looking forward to part 3 👍
Thanks....working on it!
love your filiming, editing and clear narrative style and even the atmospheric soft music mixed low in the background. showing the instruction steps in the corner is brilliant. it all works so well. subscribed 👍
Thank you for the support, I appreciate it!
New subscriber! I'm just getting back into this, although having been highly into 1/87 scale Model Railroading. I think that will have me in a better mindset than when in my early 20's 😂
I LOVE SUPERDETAILING!! I've kept spools of brass wire and boxes of spare parts.
My starting point are the 3 aircraft my father flew.... B-47, B-52G, and the Superlative SR-71 Blackbird!!! All in 1/72 scale.
Glad to have you! Thanks for the sub!
Glad I found your channel Alex.Keep up the good work!
Thanks Keith!
Hi, you mention in the video about the Rolls Royce logo, Airscale do some great metallic engine and airframe data plates, including Merlin specific ones. Great video, looking forward to part 4.
Thanks - as I'm building the kit OOTB i' ve not looked for any after market items, but may well return and "tweak" the build after the series...😉
Hey Alex - what a great video, this kit is massive, look forward to seeing the painting, thanks for sharing, regards Liam
I'm looking forward to that myself! 😁
Thanks for another great video. I’m inspired to purchase.
Thank you - it's a solid buy so far!
Really well constructed video , and model! I have a question , anybody please...am about to embark on this build..Q. were the original planes from WW2 painted using a spray or with brushes/rollers? Airbrushing gives a superior finish especially on larger scale builds but maybe using a paintbrush is an option with a nod to realism if that is how they were done originally ...
Aircraft were usually sprayed, with things like kill markings painted by hand. British aircraft were often sprayed with the aid of rubber mats as masks, but not always. If you look at period photos, you can see a range of "edges" on British aircraft, and having a slightly soft edge is certainly not unauthentic (depending on scale and how much, of course)
New subscriber here, I’m just behind you on this kit and about to start on the wing. Only problem so far is a slight gap directly in front of the coaming between the fuse halves, my bad I guess. I’m hoping it won’t affect the fit of the armoured screen.
That Wowstick Mini looks fantastic, I’ve just ordered one from Amazon. Thanks for that tip. TonyS
So far the fit in front of the cockpit (where the instrument panel sits) is the most problematic area in my build - will let you know if there's anything else!
I'm abit late to the party. Great work, really like your content. I've just started making models again since I was a small boy ( over 30 years ago ). Currently hovering around 1/72 scale WW2 aeroplanes, the 190, 109, Spitfire and Swordfish. Could you recommend a 1/48 that requires little skill? Thanks.
Any Tamiya 1/48th Bf109 or Fw190 kit gives a good balance between detail and ease of build - the disadvantage being their relatively expensive. Eduard 1/48th Weekend kits are superb in terms of detail and value - something like the P-39 is incredible for just over £15
@@MannsModelMoments thank you for your reply, I'll take a look at them.
Just a request for advice, I have both the SPITFIRE and TYPHOON waiting to build. Which would be the less challenging to commence with?
I can't really speak to the Typhoon, as unfortunately I don't have one, but from what I've seen I think the Spitfire will give you less issues - for one the Merlin is a less complex engine than the Napier Sabre, and I believe the Typhoon undercarriage on the kit is a bit weak for the weight of the plane. I think Airfix have put a lot of feedback from this earlier kit into the Spitfire, as the Undercarriage on that is spectacularly solid.
@@MannsModelMoments appreciate the feedback
There is really no need to scrape any paint away from surfaces prior to gluing them with Tamiya Extra Thin and this will simply "eat" through the layers of paint right down to the plastic from experience, this also it true of lacquer paints. The only time you might need to scrape paint away from glued surfaces is if you are using something like superglue (CA glue), as this will not dissolve the paint layers.
From experience I'm not sure I agree. The cement solvents do dissolve the paint, but it doesn't go anywhere, meaning they're now part of that joint. If there's no weight or stress on the part I might risk it, but certainly not for something large, and given the time it takes I'd rather do it and know the bonds are solid than not
Do you make your spru goo if so how?
Yes, check out this video;

@@MannsModelMoments Thanks I found that afterwards I’m just getting back into modelling used to do airfix etc in the 70s and military modelling in the mid 80s using historex 54mm figures but used a liquid called plastic weld wasn’t sure if it was still available 👍
