    I love notes you put up showing the paint mixtures. That really helps especially for someone like me who is new to airbrushing.

    Thanks for watching! It took me a while to complete but I am 90% satisfied with the result which is a very good rate on my scale :). I'm setting up a new video shooting studio with new lights, background etc. (You can see the difference after the 14th minute of the video). In my current studio, it was very difficult to both build models and shoot videos. I hope that with the advantages of the new studio, I will produce faster and more videos and content next season and present them to you. Have a great day everyone!
    PS: The adhesive I mentioned in the video is MEK (Butanone)

    NICE! I was in VF 111 when the only time miss molly existed for only a few short weeks in dedication to the nurse that took care of Vinsons wife. The carrier was later named after him - Carl Vinson. We actually flew the bird to an airport near her and showed it to her. She (now old at the time) stated “thank you for making me look so pretty!” 😎

    I have built many military models in my life. Your TH-cam channel and this video does a great service to people who might be interested in this hobby by showing many of the tools used to put a model kit together and the effort necessary to build a model.
    I am glad that you took the time to show how much precision work goes into making a model. Model building is a very satisfying hobby. If you want to give a completed model you make to somebody it represents a unique, very personalized gift that you put personal time, thought, and resources into making. If you want to keep the model you build, it is always available as a 3D replica of something you have an interest in that you can hold in your hands, look at and think about.

    A word that defines your model well... balance.
    You can put effects that normally "dirt" the model's appearance in a way that doesn't. The overall look of the model is impressive.
    Congratulations on the artwork.

    Fantastic second part and overall result. In my younger years I worked on USN aircraft for a few years, and regardless of type they had one thing in common - absolutely filthy, especially around maintenance panels to engine, hydraulic and even electronics bays. Gear bays as well. As techs “clean as they work”, particular panels regularly appear lighter or different than surrounding panels given their more regular contact than sealed metalwork; my flight line toolset always included cleaning spray, “clean” rags and worn scotchbrite-like pads - this maintenance result contributed significantly to the mottled appearance of aircraft that your excellent paint skills recreates. I hope this might be of some value to your knowledge base! 👋

      @@TheModelGuy “dirty” while on detachment is very different than“dirty” in the squadron hangar; fluids and oils are excellent deterrents to salt and other corrosives… I think the most common issue I see in “realistic models” are the uniformity of the filth, from pitot to tail hook, wingtip to wingtip - that’s not consistent to the aircraft I had the pleasure of working on.

      @@TheModelGuy As a US Navy pilot, this is absolutely correct. And on the other hand, doing a cross country in my trusty Navy A-6 Intruder, I would come across parked Air National Guard F-16's that looked like museum pieces. So the bottom line is do your homework and know your subject. That dirty model might be spot on .... and it could be all wrong.

    Tomcats with red trim have always looked good!
    My favorite F-14 squadron emblem after Jolly Rogers (VF-84) is VF-1 Wolf Pack. The red wolf head with the stripes trailing it is one of the iconic F-14 badges.
    The Wolf Head and striping actually still looks good in grey. They went low-viz paint scheme in the 1980s and it was one of the few squadron badges that still worked in the low-viz era.

    I built the tamiya f-14D in 1/48 and it was a great kit to build also. I also use the same missile load out you did, but i have since learned that the standard air to air load out would have been 2 aim 9s 2 aim 7s and 2 aim 54s. but it does look better to have all the weapons stations filled out.

      @Scaleaton  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Sweet looking Tomcat! Top quality video, very enjoyable. Just one minor detail I have noticed about the armament. Since the AIM-9s and AIM-54s have yellow band markings (live warheads), it is a bit odd to have the AIM-7s with blue bands (training missiles, no warheads). Mixed armament of live and training rounds never occurs as far as I know. Thank you.
