I have been making scale models and miniatures for the better part of my life and I have the opportunity now to share my hobby and passion with others. I am interested in just about every genre and corner of making scale plastic replicas of Tanks, Airplanes, Cars, Ships, Sci-fi, Gundam, War Gaming Miniatures, you name it, I'll make it.

Fantastic job wit the FW, im building the 1/32 version by Revell and that thing comes with full engine. Amazing video !!
I have two old models from the late 80s, one is a ME109G14u4 and the other is a FW-190D9 they are open but not started. i won't build them and I would hate for them to go to the trash.
NICE work , but no seat cushion if you use seating parachute .
so i find for skintones, if i basecoat the flesh with a darker red, then build up a thin flesh color over it, you can get that proper skintone. when i get the opacity that i want, i use a red\brown wash. ill go back and pick out highlits with the base coler to fade in the wash. after that, i lighten the basecoat and pick out the cheeks, nose, forehead, top of ears etc. This way you end up with what apperas to be a living face instead of pale.
Fantastic video! Many thanks
It’s a small Swedish brand with a big focus on our air force and manufacturers. I hope they’ll produce the SAAB B-18 soon. It’s part of the original SAAB logo. Keep up the good work.
awesome! Thanks for the info!
Great Build! looks really good! if possible, can you post the Amazon link for the Diorama Nameplate?
Thank you, here is the link: www.amazon.com/dp/B08B2X2C6M?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
@@HammerheadModelMaking Thanks dude!
Thankyou for the step by step, I've got this kit in my stash and its good to see it go together. I'm glad its a pleasing kit tbh, and cool to see what can be done with it
Glad it was helpful!
@@HammerheadModelMaking dude, your washing kungfu is powerful in its water basedness, but my enamel kungfu is superior in its results. find a paint range that works for you with a simple white spirit base, I use humbrol with success (your mileage may vary but) once you get into diluting actual enamel pigments flesh can become relatively simple... and all the dirt in the world is at your brush tip... good hunting
@@TheEdmond30 Lol, thanks, I'll be sure to give it a try!
please keep them coming Hammerhead! your videos are extremely helpful.
Thanks, will do!
What a fantastic vid! Thank you! I'm thinking of moving over to dioramas and this was SOOO helpful! Really really impressive.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for viewing!
On colors: 1) There's no way to know whether you have the "right" color based on a video without knowing how your camera color is calibrated and having a monitor calibrated the same way. 2) Standard colors are only standard the day that the vehicle leaves the paint booth. After that, sun fading and wear will change the color anyway. 3) And standard colors, in practice in the middle of a war, are really more of a suggestion. Close enough was close enough. 4) And the appearance of colors in real life is different than the appearance on a model, even if the colors are identical. Vehicle modelers need to do more painting of light effects (at least in dioramas). People obsess way too much about model colors.
You make a lot of good points and I appreciate the insight!
Cool
Thanks!
How did you do the preshading of white prior to the blue topcoat? I just tried it for the first time and it didn’t go very well. I’m using an Iwata Eclipse, .35mm needle, Vallejo Air white, about 20 psi. The paint had lots of overstay, I wasn’t able to have a nice fine line of paint. Not sure if it’s the pressure, paint too thin or thick, wrong size nozzle, etc.
I hate to say this but its really just a lot of trial and error. From your description I would say you don't have the paint thinned enough, I find the almost all Vallejo paints need to have some thinning. I use X-20A as my thinner and start with about 15-20% thinner. I find that is a good ratio to start with, then you'll just need to adjust from there to suit your needs.
Ok thanks. I’ll try thinning the paint a little more.
Awesome work.. never to long.. theres so .much to learn from your builds. You truly are an expert in your field
I appreciate the kind words, thank you very much!
the Pilot figur , absolut amazing paintet ! . 23:00

Thank you!!
HI YOUR MODEL TECHNIQUES ARE BRILLIANT KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK TGC FROM JIMMY IN MANCHESTER UK
Thank you! Cheers!
Love the detailed process. Keep with the longer vids, relaxing to watch. Thank you for this.
Thank you for the feedback!
Thank you it's a tutorial , I'm always trying to improve my skills appreciate you adding all steps
No problem!
First, because you asked, I personally love the format of your videos and have no problem watching the hr+ long content. I think this build came out beautifully and would purchase this kit due to the fun you had. Thanks for taking us on the journey with you! Out of curiosity, how long did this build roughly take to build? It would have taken me at least 2 months. I’m like a snail with my builds!😂
I think I spent about 3-4 weeks on this one, including the overall scene.
That model definitely nneded the detail you added!
Ha ha, yeah, it was a little lacking.
Awesome build! I liked the way you had panels open and the diorama was simple but nicely done!
Thank you! Cheers!
Love the long form video. More please. 😊
You got it!
Merci !
woah! Thank you! Very kind of you!
This video format is awesome, perfection, ditactic, really thank you. I'm going to respond to your request for a comment or remark, I'd really like to have in the description the list of components, tools and the top, links on amazon, ebay... for the most emblematic components you've used in this video. I'm quibbling, but it would be a real bonus to what is already a very fine piece of work. You've got one more subscriber.
Great suggestion! I'll work on getting something like that added!
Did you take this model to Salt Lake? How'd it do?
I did take it, but it did not receive any recognition.
@@HammerheadModelMaking bummer, but at the same time if you're anything like me, the show is the fun, the awards are just a nice bonus. Still a killer looking model regardless :)
So if this was an experimental video something they haven’t tried before I enjoyed it. I’ve seen a few other of your videos and they are very instructional. I enjoy that like I said before I think this worked out very good for you and those of us who watch it. Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you so much for the feedback!!
Nice Work as always! One Thing i´m missing, the Officer watching the Pilot needs a Cigarette in his Hand, would be a nice little Detail. I kinda like a long Version of your builds. Maybe you could do some of these every now and then, but for me its not that nessecary, i like the "short" Videos. Best regards from Germany ✌
Thanks for the feedback!!
@@HammerheadModelMaking You are one of my favorite Modelers, i like your Style and your Videos. It's an Inspiration. 😉
Hello mr. Hammer! Splended build.i had a lot of fun watching you let go your creative flow.i love your narration.you definatly can put this ww2icon proudly on display.but in my oppinion the hawker Hurrican looks far more mean and angry than the spitfire.with best regards and sticky greetings from sandy Brandenburg/germany.your fellow modellmate.christian
I so agree that the Hurricane was a more brutish looking aircraft compared to the sleek lines of the Spitfire!
This build stirs a lot of memories, hearing then seeing this beast coming in for an evac brought such relief, but then at the same time I was more anxious and scared than during a firefight, waiting my turn to board was so anxiety producing, it was like waiting to climb a boat ladder when there are sharks circling. I still dream about this
Oh wow, thanks for sharing your experience, I can't imagine!
Really nice and helpful video man, many thanks! Subscribed 😉👍
Thanks for the sub! Glad you enjoyed it!
the end result of the skin work is super ! O_O looks amazing.
Thank you! Cheers!
Yes, this was brilliant, thanks so much for sharing. Great painting and weathering too, the post-shading worked very nicely. Also the wash you used was very interesrting, being so simple (and cheap) to create and offering results that are indistinguishable from more expensive products. I guess one huge advantage of watercolors is that they can be re-activated with even a little moisture and they can be wiped off as much as you like (contrary to all acrylic washes and their infamous tidemarks - unless you use artists' gouache acrylics, which also re-activate, to make a custom home brew...). So great idea! Please do more of these longer videos, they are much better for reference, instruction and inspiration. The A-8/R2 version had the outer wing 20 mm MG-151 cannons replaced by 30 mm MK 108 cannons for a harder punch against the bombers. The Mk-108 was a short barrelled cannon, and its barell did not protrude much through the wing's leading edge, but required that "bump" on the wing upper surface, to fit inside the wing. In some of these later Sturmböcke versions of the FW-190, as you correctly guessed, the cowling machine guns firing through the propeller were removed both to save weight, and because they were relatively ineffective against the heavy allied bombers. So the Luftwaffe preferred to save the weight of the machine guns and their ammo and add the much heavier Mk-108 30mm cannons on the outer wings and in some cases also add underwing rocket pods. And yes the little fan at the front, obstructing a lot of the the view of the engine, is the BMW 801 cooling fan 🙂
Thank you so much for the feedback as well as the additional info on the FW190, helps me learn!
I love a longer style of video. Great build by the way
Great! Thanks for the feedback!
This is exactly what I want. Longer videos with more of the process shown.
Awesome, thanks for the feedback!
The "thing" under the wing is a "Morane" antenna for the FuG 16 radio, usually carried by the formation leader to talk to Ground Control/ATC
Thanks for the info!
i love this self building storages not so expensif and you ar more happy afhter self assemblig.

HI Brett. Love the long-form video. Great to see the whole process from start to finish - even a base! Beautiful build. Keep them coming. Also, just a thought.... would you do a full video on a doing a basic kit for beginners with only brush painting? 😮😊
Yes, I can consider doing something like that, thanks for the feedback!
Throughly enjoyed this from start to finish, and the end result was amazing. The whole diorama was brilliant and the finish on the FW-190 was stunning. Thanks for sharing your work and more videos like this please. Jason 🇬🇧
Thank you very much! I appreciate the feedback!
I love this new format. Please do more.Thanks!
Thank you!
