HELLER Vintage 1/72 F4U-1 Corsair- BUILD VIDEO

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Hello everyone! So far so good keeping the schedule I announced in the Raiden video.
I really enjoyed the Eaglecal decals used in this project; the vintage Heller F4U-1 build less so. I understand that certain limitations have to be accepted with kits of this era- and I did enjoy the opportunity to step back to something simpler and smaller in 1/72 scale- but this kit had such egregious issues with the fit of the wings that the whole project was extemely frustrating.
I decided to do this build after watching ‪@rebelsatcloudnine‬ 's step back in time with his fantastic build / modernization of the vintage Matchbox spitfire- check it out here:
• Matchbox 1:72 Spitfire...
Music used in this video:
• Sky Anchors Aweigh - R...
Next video out December 15: Tamiya 'Rufe', Aluetians.

    Colors are out of Tamiya F4F instructions, then lightened by eye with White and Buff.

    NICE! I'm working on a video of an eduard 1/72 spitfire Mk. IX painted with the American north African colors! I'm almost done with it, I'm super excited to make a video about it.

    Bro you got that colour nailed, there's a beautiful pic online where they got one setup for gun calibration ... but they are using palm trees to hold up the tail. as they probably haven't got the equipment on hand. your build looks weathered like that picture .

    Well, the kit is from 1964. So, yeah, it's quite sub-par these days. A very nice build, though.

    Pretty good job man, paint chipping seems a bit sporadic in some areas and it still seems a bit factory fresh but overall pretty good for a very old kit and in that scale

    Which paint did you use to paint this model? The finish is amazing and very accurate. It's amazing how you turned such an old kit into a show stopper.

    Heller is certainly from a different era, it requires a bit more modelling skill than your typical modern kit.

    @@Dutchglorkgames Yeah I agree I've been wanting to bring back the voiceover for ages but it's just one thing after the next with implementing it. Things were so much simpler when I just plugged my lapel mic into my phone lol. I pulled audio by recording a video with my computer camera and my Yeti. Yeti was set in correct mode, so for whatever reason it was my computer that decided to only record right, and it hard coded in such a way that even after messing with it in Davinci I couldn't force it out of Mono. I'm sure I could have found a way to do it in Audacity but I can barely navigate that tool and I don't think I even have it installed atm.

    @@TheWaggishAmerican Hmm strange, I have set mono audio to stereo mode in Davinci before but maybe the file is just some kind of broken then. Let's hope that for the coming videos it works out. I also gotta agree that while a great tool the audacity interface leaves something to be desired, they do seem to be working on a better interface since the merge with muse group I think.

    @@Dutchglorkgames The merge is actually why I dropped Audacity lol. I have no interest in being party to the telemetry stuff. I've kind of been sitting back and waiting for the civil war of different Nu-Audacity offshoots to stabilize and present a 'best' alternative before reinstalling. Yeah I know the process to reset mono -> stereo but it's just not in the file. Like the file is hard-coded mono. It is very frustrating. I'm sure if I had more editing chops I could have found a workaround but I basically only know the most bare bones functionality of Davinci, have only barely glanced at the audio stuff, have never even tried messing with any of the color or effects stuff, and the video had to be done when it was done to stay on schedule b/c I had to travel... It just made more sense to drop it without. I am committed to Rufe having it though. I pushed back schedule, so it WILL have voiceover come hell or high water.
