Nice to see builds again Tim

Hey Tim.... had this in my 'watch later' since last year and just got around to watching it this afternoon. One of your best builds and videos to date. great editing and choice of music. Lighting 'spot-on' aswell. Because of this build, I've dragged my old Tamiya kit to the bench (kicking and screaming) which I could (also) do as this same machine or possibly in SEAC colours. Take care matey, see you on FB very soon.

Brilliantly done Tim

Stunning as usual Tim ❤️🏆👍🍻

Excellent build.!!!! Fantastic video.!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I built this kit last year, Tim, and found the same issues as yourself; the wings didn't fit well and the landing gear was a real nightmare, as it was poorly-fitting and very weak. Initially I really enjoyed it, but as soon as the fuselage was closed up it fought me all the way. That said, it looks very good and I was pleased with the end result - I just wouldn't recommend it to anyone who wasn't prepared to spend a lot of time fettling it to get everything to fit. It's good to see that your efforts turned out so well.

That Jack, pretty much sums it all up! The Tamiya Beau is a much better experience, I think I need to build one just to cleanse the soul… thanks mate

I’ve got two to get through. Definitely gonna do an Aussie Beau, I’m kinda waiting for someone to come up with accurate Aussie colours.

@@TimsScaleModelling Do you use enamels at all? If so, ColourCoats are my favourite paint. Their accuracy is spot-on.

No Jack I don’t use enamels, haven’t for years. It’s lacquers all the way for me..

It is way, way, way more accurate than the Tamiya kit... The rear fuselage depth is massively shallower than Tamiya, and Tamiya is wrong, while Revell is correct. Worse still for Tamiya, its canopy cross section is bulged and unfixable, Revell again is dead on, with flat unbulged sides. Wing airfoil shape also was superior on the Revell. Landing gear and underwing stores are complicated items: Maybe Tamiya has a few nicer details there, hard to say, so it might still provide a few useful parts for the much better Revell kit. Very nice work on the panel shading by the way.

Lovely result, Tim 👍

Lovely job, Tim.....another beaut video build and testament to your skill as a model builder and a YT presenter. There were obvious issues with this kit but you definitely overcame them and created a terrific looking aircraft.

Hi Tim I am just in the final stages of writing a book of the No489 squadron. It was at Langham the invasion stripes went of as the were based there with the Aussies and Canadians from April '44 to October '44 The squadron code when the first went to Langham was 1 so when you see the photograph of PS -6 you can just make out 1-6 underneath the new PS-6 coding also this aircraft had a radar antenna at the front of the fuselage. The book is called 'Forgotten Heroes' out later this year 2023. Cheers Don Wilkie

If nothing else, a good gloss just makes a model nice to the touch, no fingerprints. The whole “gloss or no gloss” for decalling is almost a secondary consideration. Ta mate

Shame all the lovely detail on the engines is hidden and the middle of the fuselage too

Well yes actually Arthur. It did go through my mind to open up the nacelles but this wasn’t going to be this build. As nice the kit engines are resin replacements would be better. Thanks for stopping by.

Lovely build, quick question did you apply oil wash to gloss or matte surface?
