Hurray for Greg not doing the 1/48 Airfix Sea King 😂

From what I can see here, that's the best hand brushed paint job I have ever seen! Well done mate!

Cracking job as usual Greg, love the old school hairy stick approach for a change.

Are you kiddin' me??!! Wow! Viewers take note, this a lesson in artistry. Greg, thank you for elevating our hobby, sharining your work and producing such enjoyable videos.

I've been missing your videos my friend... stunning build... love your work! Cheers from Argentina...

I miss hand painting models. Nice build Greg.

When it comes to modern model making, people are way to picky and critical, every one has their own skill set and expectations , some people have given up the hobby because of all the bollocks, do what makes you happy and to hell with the rivet counters, get a life. Great video Greg as usual, cheers.

With or without an airbrush, your models always look fine to me !!!

I've always been afraid of brush painting, but damn if you don't make it look easy! I believe what I lack is the patience to push through multiple thin coats. Really excellent work on a bugger of a kit!

Nicely done Greg nice to see some old school painting and done very well I'm looking forward to your next vid cheers 👍

Very nice corrections and scratchbuilding. I like that old schoold paintwork too.

It’s always a good day when you post a new video Greg! Excellent work as usual.

Ànother fantastic build to make us all green with envy. If I just saw a picture, I would have thought it had been sprayed . Remember Greg, this is how we used to paint our models before we discovered spay cans and airbrushes. Looking forward to your next build.

Your brush work is great. I've put my airbrush away because my hobby room is now the back of my cargo van when I'm on the road.

Darn... you can literally feel the steamy jungle and the smell of kerosene and exhaust looking at that fantastic build. Thanks.

Lovely example of 'old school' modelling, Greg. I would be happy if my airbrushing was as good as this brush painting!

I was lucky, it could have go pear shaped big time.

Very nice build Greg, a bit heart in mouth at the first coat but it turned out superb and it's great to hear you had time for a bit of fingering ,as usual outstanding modelling and always with a grin. Thank you.

It' s enjoyable watching your videos

Fantastic build

Beautiful paint work! Excellent decision to paint by hand! 👍

I love the German grey idea. I always thought matt black looks too pure. Top build!

Your dry brushing is better than my airbrushing! great build (as always). Thanks for posting and building this kit.

Beautiful job Greg,congrats 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Excellent result, as usual! You are right, the slight "blotchiness" of the hand painted finish gives her much character, very well done. Allways a pleasure to watch your builds and vast variety of techniques!

Well that explains where you have been. Lots of work here and well worth it. Spectacular result as always. I love what you do with these older kits.

Excellent finish Greg. So many techniques there that I either never knew or had forgotten. I’ll have to get back into handbrushing now that I’m inspired by the puns!! Ian

Apart from the excellence of your builds,I like that you challenge yourself, in order to keep the experience fresh for you and the viewer.Well done.

Another FANTASTIC build! Your videos are some of the few that I have the patience to watch, more importantly enjoy! Unbelievable results using brushes, who would have thought, back to basic building

Nice build Greg. Back to basics with the brush painting, but a great result. Remember building this in the 80s as twenty something year old along with Italeri's C130 gunship. Thought the same about the black plastic too.

Another cracking build Greg. I built the old Airfix AC 47 last year for a magazine article using only materials available to me in 1974 when I first built one. Hence, for me, no airbrushing just old fashioned and wonderfully cathartic brush painting. It was terrific seeing the AC 117 here and I’m now going to have get one of these now and follow the same route you have. Keep it up mate; I love the channel. Les

A mean machine!! Looks fantastic!!!

Its the end product which matters, just first class. Very realistic indeed ready for duty.

You did an outstanding job on this model. The C-119 family has always been my favorite. I’m amazed by your hand painting! Looks like it was airbrushed!

Cracking build. The paint work looks belting. 👌🏻

This is a great kit, had one 20+ years ago

Yet Another Great Build. Thanks

Always great fun, and great results. I could stand longer vids.

Very Very nice buil! Excellent hand painted job!

Yes very Razor Crest ! Good job Greg , love the seas camo ! The aircraft has a great shape , the tailbooms always remind me of AW Argosy ! ( which my dad worked on .)

I built that kit back in the late 1980's, it took me five years to finish. You have done a great job.

I like black plastic, it shows defects better, and it's conducive to black basing technique. Although obviously depends on the colour scheme you're planning to apply. When I saw the molds stacked up there, I knew this channel was worth subscribing to ;)

Nice to see the use of paintbrush in action for a change, especially on such a large kit...Nicely finished AC-119 though...👍🏼

Your modeling level is super impressive, so much attention to details! The kit turned out amazing.

I was gifted this kit by my father who worked on this plane in Vietnam. This video is bittersweet as I'm excited to get working on the kit, but I'll never be able to match the artistry here. Part of me doesn't dare open that box. Gorgeous build.

Stunning build once again Greg

Greg, this is by far the most undercooled cynic build vid I've seen of you and I absolutely loooooooooooooooove it !!! Introducing the 16th century pig's ear in modelbuilding is exactly the way more people should put things into perspective. The way you tackle kits is most relaxing. Great subject, horrible kit. The interior almost looks better than the outside cast. Love the lime green instead of the interior greens out there. And for sumthing completely different, Greg : somehow this time I got the feeling you might be a teacher IRL.

between you and nigel i allways learn so much.

The finished kit is a work of art you have the patience of a saint I'm very impressed by the brush work, regards Sean

Great looking model.

Great work 👍 respect from Indonesia 🇮🇩

Nice..great job hand brushing the Model Color..very fragile but with a clear coat it ain't going anywhere i find

As a mainly tank modeller I'm just nearing the end of my second aircraft, and I have a new found respect for aircraft model channels. You make it look much easier than it is. Cockpit glazing, masking so that the paint doesn't run down panel lines and trying to make everything so smooth after filling are skills I am having to learn through trial and error. a great build and compared to my Airfix Bf109 that thing is a beast. Great job.

True!

Amazing build, Greg. The result was very nice model. You always surprise me positively with your montage I'd like to help you with the brush. In my experience, it would help a lot if you used a brush with long, thin bristles. I use this type of brush a lot when I need to do contours. With them we can shake a lot, but the track is not lost. They are also used to draw letters, as they do not go outside the outline. Today I learned another tip from you. Wash with water and detergent... breaking the surface tension and making the acrylic paint slide better in the corners. Thank you very much for sharing your experiences.

Very timely as I am working on the ICM C-119C in 1/144 scale. My kit does not include an interior, so it is good to see how one would line up inside if I decide to create one.

Wow! That looks stunning! Fantastic build and amazing hand painting skills.

Nice Work Greg, looks pretty good. I cant believe you paint it with brush. Very cool. 👍

Another excellent video. Nice finish only using brushes and Vallejo acrylics.

FANTASTIC build as usual! What a BEAUTIFUL job you’ve done! 👍 Thank you for your videos! 🙂

Better than I could do with an airbrush. VG!

Handraulics and fingering too...... whats not to like? A breath of fresh air, beautifully done 👏🏻👍🏻👌🏻

I too model as a therapy, well done on this one, nothing wrong with brush painting. We old ones didn't have fancy air brushes when we were kids.

Super job- again!

Good to see you back, hope you enjoyed Telford. I think it is good to get back to 'Basics' every so often when painting this brought back memories of my early years of modelling when I brush painted everything (with the occasional use of a spray can) and I got pretty good at it. I enjoyed watching the build and the modifications made; good job. Can't wait for the next one.

Amazing build quality for a purely brushed finish. There's a reason you're my favourite modeller on YT.

a really nice result Greg

Hard to believe this was brush painted. Fabulous work!

Simply amazing! Hand-brushed plus all the corrections. Well done!

Bloody brilliant Greg. Love the brush technique.

Very nice Greg!

Well done! I've loved the look of the C-119 since I was a kid. Nice to see one so well modeled.

Thank's for showing how to paint by hand airplane kit. I'm a car and a truck builder with spray cans. I have also some airplane kits to be built and I have been thinking how to pain them.

Absolutely badass! 👍🏻👍🏻

She turned out nice! I've done a few hand brushed kits, and it is kinda fun! 👍

Perfect build 🔥🔥🔥

Wonderful work Greg and a great lesson in hand painting 👌👍

Great modeling, interesting subject/aircraft, and does look good as a space ship!! Thanks again! 👍
