A "Master Class" on building a WWI kit. I cut my teeth on WWI aircraft, 50 years ago. But as soon as my modeling career started it ended with me going into the military. Now after that long sabbatical , I'm coming back. I can't even begin to tell you how much the hobby has changed. Thank you for this brilliant video on how "it's done".

I don't know what it is but, I find the wiring, cables to be calming. ☺️

you are the king of laying down a wash,ive never seen it done better

I just won a WnW Sopwith Camel on The eBay. You just got a 20% raise in your Patreon from me! Thank you for all you do, Sir! 😺

Loved the idea of C A glue for the rigging , that's a test of patience . Great Technique , I'll watch for more !

WOW.....now thats a museum quality build right there.....great job!

A True Master! I came here to check out the Sopwith and couldn't stop watching your Incredible work. Thank's for sharing!

Great inspiration for a build I will be undertaking. Very beautiful job.

These WnW kits must be the best on the WW1 theme out there, just love how detailed they are and the build manual looks like a complete book on the subject of the kit. Also a very good video which is both enjoyable and instructional as well.

I try to watch all of your videos, all I can say is, WOW, how the hell I missed this one I'll never know, awesome build it's nice to watch an expert at work!!!

First model I remember building was a Sopwith Camel when I was a kid. It was just a cheap kit and I just quickly glued it all together and never painted it. I absolutely love this kit, so detailed and beautiful. I especially love the dark drown wood grain effect you did. I'm seriously thinking of getting this kit and revisiting the plane from my childhood. I won't do it justice like you, but would love to try.

Amazing. The attention to detail is incredible. The wood effect interiors, rigging and control lines. Wow.

Superb ! Your attention to detail is a joy to behold. Thank you.

Really great video, got loads of tips! Just ordered my first wingnut wings kit. Thank you so much for a great video.

What an incredible build. The paintwork is second to none. Expert level for an expert kit.

That's just incredible, the most detailed work I've ever seen, love watching your work

Beautiful craftsmanship, wow!

I love it! Looks just fine without scale turnbuckles. Really takes a lot of the intimidation out of building one of these great kits. Thank you for posting this and all your other videos.

Wonderful plane. The wood effect is really amazing.

When I am not modelling myself, I really enjoy your build logs. Keep them coming. Loved your P-40. Beautiful result here as well. Waiting on the Tomcat...

Great video, I especially appreciate the painting details.

Incredible skill and techniques! Just getting back into scale modeling. I have a lot to learn since I last was active some 35 or so years ago!

Beautiful model, and so beautifully built. Just hope I can build models to this standard some day!

Beautiful that rigging looks fantastic

Beautiful work.

Awesome, truly awesome airbrushing work. I wish I was 10% as good as you.

Nice, Very nice!!!!!!!!

Wow great airbrushing and rigging techniques

Stunning,... Just stunning 🤩.

Magic! Pure Magic!

Bravo. Worth the price

Beautiful.

Great job on Snipe! Only quibble is - fabric on WWI airplanes was treated with gloss dope, not flat. Also, the edge of the undersides of the wings are perfect! The dark brown overlapped the edges of the bottom of the wings on British aircraft!

Excellent. Good to see the information notes as to why your doing such things in the video as you build 👍

Phenomenal work mate! 👍👌👏😍

Awesome work Sr.congrats.

very very nice great build

Excellent work

I have two kits WnW coming soon. Never tried to build a WW1 biplane before. That manual is impressive. Cant wait to get mine now.

Wow. Wow wow and wow... It's not very often I'm impressed by other people's craftmanship and modelling skills, but I certainly am right now. I'm a modeller and brewer myself, but I never thought it was possible to combine my hobbies... Thinning paints with IPAs... I'm lost for words, all I can come up with is CHEERS!!! Looking forward to follow your channel, Sir!!!

I'd like to see a Spad in US Markings. You did a great job on this Snipe.

Incredible work. I'm really intrigued by your tonal variation methods. I've seen a lot of modellers these days use the little/marble technique but the extra steps you take really make a difference

Please what is IPA? thank you. Compliments for model building it's fantastic. I can use Ez line for all or only for flight controls? Your answers are very important for me. I try to follow all your suggestions ...wonderful! Furthermore please I'm going to use Vallejo color the percent of thinner remain the same?The IPa can be used only with Tamiya or also Vallejo?

@Scaleaton

5 жыл бұрын

Hi, IPA is isopropyl alcohol. Do not try it with Vallejo paints. I use it with only Tamiya or Gunze acrylics. I did not use Ez line for general rigging on this model because that's flat wire used on the original plane. But of course you can use it for overall rigging.

What are the advantages of using IPA over say X-20A thinner which is what I use now?

@Scaleaton

7 жыл бұрын

Cheaper and dry faster. That's all .Also i recommend to you keep using X-20A for gloss paints.

Good morning Sir. I used IPA in percentage provided by you but is generated a problem some point clear and other dark . How resolv the problem? Thank you

Hello. Tell me, please, what kind of glue do you use for the plastic parts? Thanks.

Nice. Do you spray straight on 'virgin' plastic without cleaning or priming it?

@ronschlorff7089

5 жыл бұрын

all kits must be cleaned in soapy water first to clean off release grease... or big trouble with painting later!! I then use IPA (not beer!!) to further clean just before paint to get rid of oils from your grubby hands, and any dust :D

I've been struggling with getting the cabling to attach to my WW1 kits. Question. How do you do this with the model already painted and what superglue do you use? I can't find a glue that will stay on the thread and stick to the model, especially painted without ruining the paint. The glue dries too fast or not fast enough. Thanks!

I have Sopwith camel from academy but haven’t build it (from Indonesia 🇮🇩)

Really nice job ! What is IPA for you, AC20?

It's isopropyl alcohol.

Q3 what is the diameter of the rigging thread you use please ?

I notice you have two different methods for wood effects. 1) the Ecoline, clear yellow, clear orange. 2) the watercolor pencil and the yellow calligraphy ink. How do you decide what method you use? Do you use any other colors of Ecoline other than yellow ochre (since I need to order it online). What colors of weather color pencil do you use? In addition to Windsor Yellow ink, do you use any other color? I need to order that too. Maybe sepia? Thanks for the video.

Actually i am still trying to find the best way with water colors. This video is slightly older. Did you see this ? kzread.info/dash/bejne/n5p6ltabaZXepJs.html This is newer and better. I have only these paints what you see on videos. But i want to try yellow and golden yellow Ecoline too when i find :) Sepia is very good wash for figures, leather effect and washing clear/sensitive parts without risk. Because it's cleaning with water. I recommend it. Just need more practice before use. It doesn't work like mineral spirit based washes.

Very good question. I would like to know that too. It looks so simple glueing the lines to the wing, but I am struggling with this job since I first tried it and my last plane, a Fokker D VII crashed under my fist after having tried several times .......

What is the percentage of your IPA? 91%? 70%?

Um, the angle of the tail skid should be a little less....

A beautiful model. Should be more glossy though. No Matt paint in WW1.

Too bad you can't see all the nice details inside the plane.
