45 Degrees Modelling

45 Degrees Modelling

Hello, my names Tom and welcome to my channel ‘Forty Five Degrees Modelling’ where I aim to showcase my builds. I named my channel so, because every time I used to look down at my cutting mat, I’d see the 45’ symbol!

I hope you enjoy what I have to offer, you can follow me on Instagram to see what I‘m up to in between videos (link below), don‘t forget to say hello!

    I've had this in my stash for a couple of years, not knowing what dio to put in it. Then last weekend I watched Full Metal Jacket and there a couple of M41s in the film, loaned to Kubrick by the Belgian Army. So I'm doing a Full Metal Jacket last battle scene dio, maybe even punt for another one off ebay to add to it

    Sounds great! I never knew they were from the Belgium Army, I knew the film was filmed in the London docklands though as he didn’t like flying.

    ​@@45degreesmodelling The former RAF Bassingbourn airfield in Cambridgeshire was used to recreate the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island in South Carolina. The abandoned Beckton gasworks in East London was used to film the bombed-out city of Hue in Vietnam. The Norfolk Broads and Stiffkey Marshes were used as Asian paddy fields, and the Broads National Park was used for the scene of the US Army helicopter shooting into the "Vietnamese countryside". Other filming locations in England include Isle of Dogs, London, RAF Swinderby, and Compton Acres, Canford Cliffs.

    Superb work. I try and build an appropriate base for all of my models to help with the context. But the desert I'd probably shy away from to be honest so it's nice to see how it's done

    Is it possible to not use the airbrush at all? I mean only using brushes for the entire model.

  • @45degreesmodelling
    @45degreesmodelling3 ай бұрын

    Yes absolutely. I would recommend a Tamiya spray can for the primer and if possible a spray can for the main body parts, but if you just want to stick to a brush then I’d recommend flat brushes to help with the finish, but again that’s not essential. There’s a KZread channel called QuickKits who has some good brush painting tutorials for scale modellers. He hasn’t posted for a couple of years but the videos are still relevant. Hope you try it and have fun! Tom

    Very late to the party here.🙂 Very well done, Sir. I try to keep a few of this model in my stash, to "cleanse my palette" after tough builds, to build for fun. One of mine took second place at an "out of the box" themed show, which I am very proud of, but your rusted exhaust shrouds are better executed.

    Excellent build and super paint job, the 109 looks very atmospheric, as if the pilot had just got out. One comment I would make is that aircraft were not parked and serviced on just any old patch of desert. The landing strip and service areas would have been levelled, smoothed and cleared of any large stones or bushes, particularly for a 109 with it's long spindly undercarriage that was known to be unstable!

    @@45degreesmodelling Thanks for responding, it is appreciated. I enjoy your vids and have only recently come across them. The model building is top notch and invaluable to me as I about to get back into modelling after an absence of 40 years or so and I was never very good to begin with!! I am guessing you were in the Army. I have been through Death Valley (though not American) and Wadi Rum etc in Jordan, and deserts are both facinating and intimidating to look at so I understand your comments on drawing from your experience, and detail does provide interest to the base so your approach is probably better. I shall continue to watch.

    Apart from the ailerons, that is a really good build and impressive paint job. It looks the business. So congratulations on a fine model. I have a couple of comments that are not meant to be criticisms, merely observations that may provide some background information: 1. A comment you made at approx 17:40 mark about making the model look dirtier as the Spitfire XII flew "near the ground" made me smile. Although the Mk XII was introduced to combat low flying FW190s, the fact that it was a low level Spitfire does not mean it got dirtier than it's higher flying comrades! They all took off and landed at the same airfields. 2. Although I appreciate that building the model is 'the thing', sometimes for authenticity it is worth checking on the actual aircraft being modelled, particularly if they have unusual squadron markings such as '7B'. In this case, 7B were the markings of 595 squadron, an anti-aircraft co-operation squadron with duties exclusively over central and northern Wales. It operated a variety of aircraft in this role, including Spitfire XIIs. As an Army-anti-aircraft Co-Operation squadron it was not an operational front line fighter squadron and saw no combat. These Spitfires would rarely have had their ammunition panels removed, nor suffered the harsh treatment of front line squadrons, which would have significantly reduced wear and tear (chipping etc). The aircraft would have been relatively clean looking.

    Thank you for your comment. Information like this would be priceless in the instructions which were extremely basic. That’s what caught me out with the ailerons, I’ll admit I’m not the fountain of knowledge when it comes to aircraft but they (the instructions), just said choose up or down. I did do my research but never came across any of this so thank you for sharing.

    @@45degreesmodelling Thanks for your response. I do have an interest and some knowledge of aircraft, which makes up for having low modelling skills - Ha Ha! The aileron thing is an easy mistake to make and any of us might have done it. It has been done many times before and will be done again, so I would not worry about it (plus incorrect instructions). I must admit it took me a while to find that info as it is not readily available like info on front line squadrons is. The squadron marking '7B' just piqued my interest as I had never come across '7B' before. Just keep building models so we can all appreciate and learn things. It is no easy thing starting a KZread channel.
