Thank you “always ”for your comment and appreciated interesting my video. That means a lot to me. It is truly fun to have an interaction with people on KZread 😁👍

A wonderfully skilled build, a lot of modellers with this level of talent go on to add weathering and chipping, which, whilst realistic I think sometimes ruins the overall look of the model, it's refreshing to see a finished kit just clean and in the colour scheme it would have left the factory. A top job sir. 🫡

Great build. The masking really paid off as the thin lines with that color way look crisp and tidy. And I haven't built a plane yet, but this build and the immense detail of this kit may have sold me on giving this a try. Tamiya engineering as well. No fuss.

wish Bandai would make almost color accurate military model kits of stuff like these, F-35, Abrams etc. like they already make 100% color accurate gundam model kits, i imagine military model kits would be harder to make color accurate right out of the box so just having the big colors right is enough for me, since these kinds of glued and painted model kits are beyond my skill and patience.

Built the 1/48th Tamiya F-35A which is the Air Force version. Great kit when it comes to fit, the only bad thing is the molded on RAM tape that should have been flat not raised and it ruins the realistic look it otherwise would have had. You can do better Tamiya

This is very old school modelling, no pre or post shading, no weathering, painting directly on sprues, weird semi gloss finish, exactly like hasegawa catalog models back in the nineties. You should check out Plasmo or Night Shift they're true masters at modern modelling.
