I would love to see the tools for the cockpit frame that molding is insane
I agree, one of the things I forgot to mention about that piece is that I couldn't see a seam line on it anywhere, which just makes me more curious to know how they did this.
@@rebelsatcloudnine im half tempted to pick up this kit just because I want to look at that part. I didnt even like dune film, id probably build it in some other fantasy scheme or bash it into something else entirely, but that part is just so interesting
@@TheWaggishAmerican I wasn't too thrilled with the movie either, but I'm really glad to have the chance to build this kit, I'm even more now considering getting the Harkonan Ornithoper so that I have one for myself. It's such a strange thing, but yeah, that frame is just so amazing when you hold it in person, it just doesn't compare to seeing it on the screen. I was thinking that as well, possibly some like a digital camo would look really cool all over those wings. Or as my Dad suggested to paint it up like it was an actual dragon fly, there are a lot of fun possibilites with this kit :)
@@rebelsatcloudnine reminds me of a colorful bird scheme I saw in an old magazine (fsm?) issue. Realistic dragonfly would be a really cool challenge and unique result
I got the tiny one temted to get this
If you do, I don't think you'd regret it :)
Very cool looking kit. Watching videos of the recent Wonderfest I saw a number of people who have built this and the builds look very nice (and very big!). Looking forward to seeing your build. Happy Canada day.
Happy Canada Day Dario :) I was kind of surprised when they said it was only going to be 1:72nd scale, I was hoping for 1:48, but now seeing the kit in person, 72nd is big enough.
Neat video. What paints will you use? I have the mini kits and they do not come with paint guides. As you know, with me being colorblind, figuring out matching paints is difficult.
I'm mostly going to be using AK Interactive RC229
The models are cool pity the movie sucks so badly 😂😂
I recently re-rented the movie and I liked it better the second time around. I have yet to see Part 2 though.
@@stevethefishdotnetthe reality is that you can't remake a classic like the original Dune movie.... It would have been significantly better if they had of started a new Dune series starting after the original movie.... I have the full collection of Dune novels and a new series of Dune movies is more than feasible
@@nigelsmith7366 I dunno... I am a fan of the original '84 Lynch movie, but it does feel a bit forced. Too many people whispering to themselves, a bit campy, a bit weird, etc. I have not read the novel by Frank Herbert, so I cannot say if the new movie is closer to the book or not. Either way, don't think of it as a remake of the Lynch movie, but an interpretation of the book. My biggest complaint was turning Dr. Kynes into a woman. That just felt a bit forced.
If you haven't read the book the movie is fine and the vehicles are cool. I didn't love the film personally. Looks like a neat kit though.
I was pretty unimpressed with the new movie and sad that it lacked the spectacle of the 84 film. I haven't seen part 2 yet, but as The Waggish American said, I did really like the vehicles in the film. And I really can't stand how Timothe Chalome has to whisper everything in every movie he's in.
Cool model 👍
I keep wondering If Revell IS ever going to retool this Bad Boy and finally add some riveting 😡😡😡😡
Sadly, I doubt that will happen. I think to Revell this kit is still considered a new model, and not ready for any improvements.
I love your doors by the way . Reminds me of The Hobbit
The Airfix Vulcan is a saga , can't be done in short !!! Still haven't finished mine .
I'm getting pretty far with it, but it's a slow process to fill in the gaps.
It did seem more about community in the past ; you would communicate with other modellers > If they just send out rubbish bot stuff maybe people will stop watching . I mainly share modelling with an ex You Tuber I do miss people like You but a lot of new modelling stuff is boring .
Thanks Anthony, I'm hoping to get my channel back more to what it used to be, making build videos, and creating shorter demonstration videos. I totally agree with you on that one, and I really miss the old days where everyone was friendly and we were all just sharing projects with each other.
@@rebelsatcloudnine Yes you were very kind about a Hurricane i built . i know your models are way better than mine but you took the time to comment . Some of the models posted today are good enough but it's all got a bit too commercial really . most of the ordinary guys seem to have gone . I stopped posting quite a few years ago . Of course it's all about revenue now .
I would never get involved with You Tube now ; of course all social media is just about profit
Sorry to hear about your brother and hope he has a quick and full recovery. Nice Vulcan but really want to see this BF-109 you've been working on for so long. I also despise YT 'Shorts'. The only thing I can recommend is to never click on any so as to discourage it and demonetize it for YT. The fewer the people watching them the less YT will promote or care about them.
Thanks Dario. Well the glue I needed to complete the 109 arrived today, so I can finish that one later next week, which I'm really excited for. One of my big worries is that KZread will never change because they are adapting so quickly to the new markets. They drive out one video source and 3 more people are there ready to take their place. It's just never ending.
@@rebelsatcloudnine Yeah KZread has gotten worse as they have cornered the personal video market. As I'm not in it for the money and just having fun, hoping to entertain and educate fellow modelers, I don't mind as much, but the ads are getting ridiculous. I do keep all my video editing files in storage so should some better option come around someday I can easily move over.
Hello, i am planning on building and painting a b 17 and i was wondering if you could recommend a prefeply 1 tamiya color to put on thr belly side of the plane?

Sorry to hear about your brother, best wishes to you and your family.
David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Monday, 24 June, 2024, 7:51 pm EDT). Another clean, satisfying kit build production. You make it seem effortless! (BTW, just how many rebels? Is your secret for your alacrity that you lot are clones?-albeit from a galaxy far, far away? Or Canadian Star Trek fans?) Round 13:50, you mask the aluminum-painted cowl and nacelle prior to painting the bright blue. Yes, I long have wondered the same thing about the notion of ADDING silvery paint to a subtractive process as paint chipping. I very much would like to hear/read your comparison of this Airfix B-17G kit with Revell Germany’s B-17F kit.
I had planned on doing a video comparing the 2 kits, but this was several years ago, and then life got in the way and that took a lot of my time away from modeling. So I've kind of forgotten about doing that. I'd still like to, but I wonder if after all of this time I can still remember the main differences with the kits.
@@rebelsatcloudnine David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Tuesday, 2 July, 2024). A step-uncle of my maternal aunt had told me that during the Second World War, the tail gunner in his Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress USAAF Heavy Bomber had been Gene Autry, who after his combat service had earned fame as “the Singing Cowboy” in postwar black & white Westerns. He also was the first well-known performer to popularise the endearing ballad “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” in a 45 rpm record.
Nice build, but for me you've overdone the chipping and weathering. Just saying...
David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Monday, 24 June, 2024, 4:54 pm EDT). A straightforward build of the Revell Germany 1:72nd-scale kit of the Boeing B-17F Flying Fortress USAAF Heavy Bomber, which is what one requires. Nice, clean work. (Later, as I was working on my comment, I again paused to watch the video of your finished warbird.) Have you built Hong Kong Models’s 1:32nd-scale kit of Boeing’s B-17E/F Flying Fortress USAAF Heavy Bomber kit? I would like at least three of it in this scale, to make 1) a B-17E replica, perhaps representing the first wing of Flying Fortresses the USAAF assigned to the European Theatre of Operations (ETO), 2) a B-17F reproduction as the “Memphis Belle”; and 3) still another for a model of a later B-17F undergoing one of the field modifications. I prefer to configure airborne my aircraft models, its flight controls set slightly from neutral in a moderate adjustment of the trim, its propellers spinning, the gunners blazing away at the Luftwaffe birds storming in as screeching lammergeiers, its bomb bay doors gaping open as the crew close upon their objective nearly 7,000 metres below. Not in every case, though. Similarly, have you built Hong Kong Models’s 1:32nd-scale Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress USAAF Heavy Bomber kit? I would like three of this one, to make 1) an early B-17G still in the Olive Drab over Neutral Grey camouflage, 2) a late-war B-17G with the Cheyenne tail, in natural metal, and 3) a conversion to the Korean War Boeing SB-17G Flying Fortress USAF unarmed Rescue Aircraft, also in natural metal, with a Higgins boat secured ventrally. I also would like at least two of Hong Kong Models’s 1:48th-scale Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress USAAF Heavy Bomber kits. Have you assembled any of this B-17G model? Do you know if the company offer any 1:48th-scale replicas of the B-17E or -F? (I discount Revell-Monogram’s kit as outdated). I saw an entry listing on KZread of your video on Airfix’s 1:72nd-scale kit of the Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress. I will watch it after I finish this. I would like to find some of these (I saw Nigel’s build of it on Nigels Modelling Bench, where he gives it high marks, deeming it better than Revell Germany’s B-17F miniature), as well as a few detailed, new-mold kits of the B-17E. Alternately, would one be able to backdate the aforementioned Revell B-17F kit to a model of a B-17E? If so, what would these specific changes, e.g., parts swaps, physical alterations of parts, sub-assembly exchanges, etc., be? A case in point, I understand that the B-17E had a different glazing on its dorsal turret than following versions. NOTE: As I am writing this, and checking online for various other B-17 kits, I find this new entry into the market: “Wolfpack 1/72 B-17C Flying Fortress USAAF Heavy Bomber Premium Model Kit WP17212”. I have NO IDEA as to this kit’s quality or accuracy (though my hunch is that it is a new mold from a new kit maker). I also infer that you would be as keen as I am to learn more, which is why I include it here. For that matter, would one be able to backdate the Revell Germany B-17F kit to a model of a -D, a -C, or a -B (working backward through history)? I discount Academy’s kits as too simplified in detail, and possibly even completely outdated as compared to the competition. If this new possibility proves empty (maybe Wolfpack licensed the Academy kits to market to eastern Europe. NOTE: shortly after writing that, this entry in a model kit retail website reads: “B-17F Flying Fortress Academy Hobby Model Kit ‘Memphis Belle’, Russian Lang[uage] SEALED”; some of the text on the box cover is in Cyrillic. These suggest that my surmise of the Wolfpack 1:72nd-scale B-17C kit immediately above is highly unlikely. To resume, perhaps one of sufficient skill and means could fashion of an Academy early B-17 model a mold master for casting a resin substitution of 1) the vertical stabiliser prior to the Boeing engineers and designers adding to the fore of the fin a long, sloping fairing (which I describe as generally reminiscent in shape of the left two-thirds or so of a bell curve), which extended forward along the fuselage’s dorsal center-line to the horizontal transparency of the radioman’s station, and partially covering the turtle deck; and 2) casting a replacement turtle deck minus this vertical stabiliser fairing. As I see it, one ought to make them in round seven scales, to encompass all the available kits: a) 1:32 and b) 1:48, for Hong Kong Models B-17E kit in those ratios (if the latter offering fit the Revell-Monogram kits, that would be a bonus); c) 1:64 for the Lindberg B-17G kit (timeworn as it is, its general shape seems serviceable; it likely would require other backdating modifications, as well as some other upgrades; I must note that in this scale or smaller, concerns for panel lines, “rivets”, etc., are asCSon a gnat); d) 1:72 for Revell AG’s B-17F kit (it also may require other backdating modifications; also, the new Wolfpack kit may obviate this labour-intense necessity altogether); e) 1:96, for the InAir B-17F kit; f) 1:100, for the NewRay B-17G kit; g) 1:144 for Minicraft’s kit. (I also had built a B-17G miniature in 1:200th- or 1:240th-scale, though I have been unable to track it down to be certain.) The new (so I infer) Wolfpack 1:72nd-scale Boeing B-17C Flying Fortress USAAF Heavy Bomber Premium Model Kit (WP17212), if it indeed is a new mold from a new company (as by now seems likely), we may not have to go through all these machinations in 1:72nd-scale, trying to work with the older, simpler Academy -D, - C, or -B kits. Some of the projects I have in mind would be multi-model displays I describe as a “forced perspective aerial (airborne, in-flight) diorama” that incorporates several kits of an aircraft in different scales positioned in descending order, with the smaller replicas just behind one that is immediately larger: 1:32nd, 1:48th, 1:64th, 1:72nd, 1:96th, 1:100th, 1:144th, and on (some displays start at 1:24th-scale [Airfix, aTrumpeter], whilst others might end at 1:200th-scale or smaller). The larger-sized replicas veritably cry out for super-detailing, whilst the smaller miniatures urgently require it for deeper verisimilitude. In addition to the usual, motors spin the propellers, crew figures occupy their assigned stations, the flight controls canted to pitch or roll the aeroplane.
Hi David, I can tell you from my own experience that the Airfix B-17G is slightly better than the Revell kit, but part of this is because Airfix copied a lot of the Revell design. Also the nose bubble is the wrong shape and the Cockpit is too narrow. It took me a bit to figure this out, as something with the general shape was just bothering me, something was off. Revell offers a lot of options with their kits, with Airfix you can only build a late style B-17G. So with the Revell kit you get different noses and other parts, so you are more free to build a specific type of B-17F. I cannot remember the modelers name, but he successfully converted the Airfix kit into a Pacific themed B-17E, he made several posts about it on his website. I have not yet built any of the HK Models B-17 kits, but I'd really love to build one of their 1:48 F models and turn this into an E. I've also considered building the Revell 1:48 B-17F (again) and converting that into an E model. With either kit it would be quite a bit of work to pull off, as the windows need to be modified in the nose section, and the most difficult part would be finding a new nose that's a lot shorter than the F and G variants. I have mostly figured out how to do this, but some of the process would involve a vac-forming machine, and a vinyl cutter. I've got a cutter, but I'd need a vac-form machine.
Very nice video, excellent commentary and perfect music background! This was a true pleasure to watch. Thank you!
Great work as always!!
I’ve never heard decals pronounced as “ deckles “. It’s pronounced “ DEE-Cowls “.
Actually both are correct and it depends on where the word is being used linguistically. I am from Canada ergo I decal.
Amazing technique, very creative and useful. Thanks.
Beautiful! Really great to see the finished kit.
Incredible job as always. Great painting, chipping and weathering. The DIY sculpted heads on those repurposed pilots figures look perfect. I've never built a Millennium Falcon before sure want to now that I've seen this build.
If you want to get this kit for yourself, you should visit Sunward Hobbies right away: www.sunwardhobbies.ca/
Great job! I'm happy to finally see it completed.
What brand of paint did you use???
Wonderful job. Absolutely fantastic.
Great results bro
I have been disappointed with every MPC kit I had bought years ago. Terribly fitting parts. Maybe things changed?
That is crazy chromy
silon with a sword XD
Yeah, Cylons had swords in the show.
@@stevethefishdotnet Never saw the Og fully so had no clue.
That looks nice. Pardon my choice of words due to colorblindness, but there seems to be a slight yellowish(?) tint to it. Something I don't get when airbrushing Molotow's Liquid Chrome.
I see a little flake in it but it also looks hella reflective.
Yeah, I didn't notice that until I looked at this video. I took a dusting brush and it all came right off and is more uniform. I wonder if this is part of the drying process? I've tried to contact the manufacturers to ask them a few more questions about this paint, but I've never been able to get a reply from them.
Looks very good
I'm really impressed with it so far, I hope that it handles well to touching as I'd like to use this for future car model projects.
Absolutely superb.
I got this kit with no plams, they wanted $25 + shipping for it..back up on the shelf little Cessna. 🙄
Brilliant
May God rest your uncle's soul. Heaven has no respect for human animosity, every man in combat did what he had to.
When my friend dose the models for me he puts the pilot in and to be honest I like the pilot in the model if your having landing gear up and no pilot then the plane will go down
Getting mine soon i wouldn't mind making the black glossy
Excellent work on what you did with the model. Though it's not reallly TOS style but more of TMP (The Motion Picture) style. TOS style is basically smooth lighter gray and dark gray hull, orange buzzard collector, and dark gray being used on the ends of the nacelle and impulse drive. What you have created is is from the The Motion picture era. Where the ships were brighter and had aztecing and the ships were more areodynamic. But thats okay. Still good job
why does everyone sound drunk
It's pronounced Ru-vell mate
Yes, that's what I said.
