Wombat Models

G'day all, I'm Wayne (aka Wombat) - welcome to my channel!
I'm just an ordinary modeller who returned to the hobby a couple of years ago after a very long lay-off.
Here I'll be sharing my model building journey with you. Hopefully I'll improve my skills with every build and we can all get something out of the process!

    Very interested. In the UK, we do have availability issues with SMS from time to time. I live reasonably close to the Outlaw importer so am considering giving them a go. I do like SMS but find that I need to give them a good shake as the pigments settle out. Once that's sorted and SMS leveller is added, they spray beautifully. Hopefully Outlaw are just as good.

    Mr. Wombat, I haven't looked for the conclusion part of this video, to find out if everything panned out. Despite the uncertainty, I think your booth is exactly what I need. Because I have been saving boxes for this purpose, I was hoping to see one made from cardboard. Now I just need to figure out the filter and fan.

    Would be very interested. I've had some experience with the SMS range and it didn't really grab me. Started thinning it a bit more with self leveling thinner and that really changed my experience with it. I've only got the two pack clear from Outlaw and that is brilliant. I've been wondering for a while what their mainstream paint range was like. Hope you end up doing the video. Dan

  • @wombat_models
    @wombat_models4 ай бұрын

    Hi Dan, there has been a bit of interest for me to do the head-to-head. Your comments re the SMS are interesting given that it is marketed as "ready-to-spray" straight from the bottle (as is the Outlaw). I'll put both to the test as per manufacturers recommendations and then see how thinning changes the experience and the finish. I've got some time off after Easter so will try and film it then.

    @@John.349 All good. I'm the same in that I don't really know any other way as we have been metricised my whole life. Just makes it interesting when fans are still rated in CFM and you need to work out an equivalence. My science background also tells me that using a base 10 system is much more sensible than fractions of inches, inches and feet. Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍😀👍

    My project is to have 1 aircraft each of every carrier air wing operating off Essex class carriers in the Vietname war. The modified 27C versions are just my favorite carriers. The Sundowners feature on a lot of them as they basically served on every 27 Charlie except Hancock and Bon Homme Richard. Because decals are hard to come by for many of the squadrons involved I've taken to using Photoshop to make my own. I now have decals for the squadrons of airwings 10 off Intrepid, 1967, which had a Sundowners detachment on it, airwing 16 from Ticonderoga 1969, Sundowners present, airwing 16 from Oriskany 1966-67, Sundowners present and airwing 8, Shangri La 1970, the final deployment of the Sundowners with the F8 Crusader. Also made decals for airwing 21 Hancock 1975, airwing 5 Bon Homme Richard 1970 and airwing 19 Oriskany 1976. I print them via laserjet printer at work on A4 decal sheets. The only downside is that you cannot print the color white. If you want some, let me know.

  • @wombat_models
    @wombat_models Жыл бұрын

    Wow - big project. How many aircraft would that be in total? Would love to see what you have for the Sundowners decals - I have been thinking about creating my own using Photoshop &/or Inkscape and printing them myself where I can't find kit/aftermarket decals. Also probably have to do the same for my USS Carl Vinson project (CVW-15, '86/87 Westpac/Indian Ocean cruise).

    Just be careful with them when handling the model during additional construction stages. They would be pretty easy to knock and break which is why I've left mine for now. If you find them getting in the way, you could always get some foam or cardboard and try and put a temporary guard around/over them and hold it with tape so you can remove it easily when you need to. Would love to see some images when you finish the build. Thanks for watching!

    The Revell Germany and Matchbox F9F-5 are the same kit and will get you the late model Panther. It's not bad. Hasegawa's kit is a F9F-2, which you already have. Monogram did a 1/72 F8F-2 Bearcat. It's old but not too bad for 1/72. I would toss the Hobby Boss Hellcat and get Eduard or Academy if you can find them.
