Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video 🫡

quick point here. Since you do a lot of metallic work, I highly recommend you try the Vallejo Metallic series of airbrush paints. they're full acrylic, and don't need to be thinned for use in an airbrush since they already come diluted for airbrush work. (This is NOT the model air range. the metallic range is separate.) Prime with Tamiya gloss black spray can. (or any other easy to apply gloss black spray) Spray vallejo super metallic over top, profit! the result is very similar to alclad super metallics, but without the smell and trouble of using thinners.

@ModelMinutes

Thanks for the suggestion! I think this year is a little more metallic than other years, purely as I've been buying different metallic paints to try out - perhaps I will look at those products in the future

I bought the latest iteration of this kit and the mouldings, especially the 'to scale' parts are on the way out... Having said that, the kit is still good value for money and builds into a good representation of the Mustang. Nice result on yours, interested to see how the lacquers go down, possibly a little toxic for my set up, so staying with acrylics for the moment. Thanks for another good video, best wishes, Nick

I have thought about foiling a plane, but would need to read up on the technique as I have not done that before

Blue nosed bubbletop Mustangs hold a special sentimental value to me, since the very first kit I built for public display was a Tamiya 1:72 P-51D in that beautiful paint scheme. I've been looking for an interesting tooling of the 51 to apply ten years of further modelling experience and expertise to, and I think I might just get the Airfix one.

I was just about to comment that the kit could use some additional wash when I realised that the panel lines are already quite deep and that you had the same reasoning.

@ModelMinutes

9 күн бұрын

Yes, they are a little deeper than other kits and also i find that black gloss coat helps with the shadows as the silver hasn't fully filled the panel lines - I thought the finish was good enough with no further wash needed

I've built two of these and they are a nice kit except for that ariel mast, I broke mine both times trying to get it off but apart from that its a nice fitting kit which makes for a good looking model, I did the red tails and the RAF shark mouth

I really like the colorful Mustang and your straightforward approaches to achieve nice results! Do those Microscale products leave any stains when dried up? I have made bad experiences with other Decal softener products which leave stains I wasn't able to remove.

@ModelMinutes

15 күн бұрын

I don’t think I’ve ever noticed any leftover residue or marks from the micro set/sol after they dry. I’ve noticed other products that have (like humbrol decalfix) but the microscale ones are really good. It is worth remembering that if you wash your brushes in tap water, or use tap water to soak decals and apply them, any dissolved solids in the water could leave residue. I’m fortunate because I live in an area where our tap water is filtered through granite and no marks are left, but I have used water from chalky areas and that has left some marks when it dries

it works if the yellow has enough pigment. The other option is to paint the tips yellow first then mask them before doing the rest of the blades. I have done both methods and I'm not really fussed either way, although adding the tips after painting is a much simpler process with less work
