Thanks for your videos, very much enjoyed each of it. 😊

I was watching another guys channel the other day and he was asked about how he gets his top coat so glossy on his vehicles. He said that his secret was not to prime but put the top coat on instead as priming disturbs the suface finish. Not sure if that helps Mal. Have a great year!

Looks great. Thanks for show what worked and didn’t worked.

Awesome work man

Your oils should flow better over a gloss coat.

Whilst I understand the comments about metal into plastic, it has to be noted that this kit is over 40 years old. Yes, it is not up to their modern standards, but it’s still the best 1/32 version of this plane by a country mile. Here’s hoping that Tamiya launch a new tooling of this to go with their excellent 1/48 version

Cool project! I just bought one of these at a model show for $5, it has been decades since I built a Monogram kit.

How did you paint the deck? Very realistic. I am also assembling this model.

I always envisioned a gatlin gun on the end of each of the four wings, the shells would be stored within the wing. This along with the nose gun.

And this is why we call it modeling😅😂

Looks Super Great I'm gonna order one

You need to put your paints on the model, not your arm, thanks for the review :)

2.51 Remember the square hole you mention....your resource pics got the answer

In for a penny, in for a pound! You are ambitious!

Gosh.... this boy looks evil. This is already looking so awesome! I love the pulsing green light! And I cannot wait to see the smoke :)

Love ya man, see ya soon, and take care of yourself.

look out for yourself first, we will be here

Sounds like you have a few pokers in the fire, like many of us. I also know how work can take you away from your most passionate project, but you have to keep the lights on. I have this vision for a rusting, derelict Batmobile from Batman Forever hidden away in a makeshift garage in a largely abandoned area of Gotham and forgotten about for 32 years, it is a big project but one I am compelled to do. Best of luck on your projects!

The T28 was a assault gun like the Stug III, SPG's are things like self propelled artillery.

I do believe that "bedroll" was a tarp. I wouldn't want to use a bedroll that had been constantly rained on and splashed with mud ewww.

He probably gets that symmetry by mocking it up in a 3D rendering program and then mirroring it then uses either a CNC to cut a positive or a 3D printer to print a positive then makes a negative mould of that.

I didn't know anyone made large kits for Battletech, I've wanted some for years. Every time I see the Gundam kits I'm like man they need Battletech ones. I went over to look at this guys page and he threw in the towel in July. Says he will only fill orders for ones he already has moulds for which I was bummed about. He didn't have any models I was interested in enough to pay $100+ for. I am looking for a Thunderbolt TDR-5S and a Firestarter FS9-H. I guess I will keep looking and hoping.

I am really glad you persisted with this. I bought this model about s few days ago from Andy'sHobbyHQ. I don't know precisely when I will be building it but I will remember these videos and will come back to watch them again just before.

what's the name of this special metal parts? this is some addons? becouse in a box there is only plastic parts, where i can buy it?

Do we need glue for this

I need this model despite the fact I own the same in scale 1/6 rc..very good and detailed job 👍

This looks great... I used rattle can hammering effect overall to match the studio model and then shaded.

I've built this kit multiple times throughout my years, and it will always be my favorite F-8 kit. I'm always on the look out for another.

Raised panel lines are more prototypical but recessed panel lines are better for thd modeller to show off detail. Thats how I look at it.

That came out really nice

Thank you for the positive review! I look forward to the magic you will do on it. Please keep us updated. :)

Brilliant!! I thought I'd start mine (1 of 2 - both good price) before I start an assembly line for the squadron of Eagles I have accumulated. Just opened one of them and was disappointed to see it won't display 'nicely' with the Eagles as it is on the stand. Searching builds to see if any hiccups etc (KZbin is great for that and thanks to all who take/have the time to post videos) and found your video about Landing Gear!!!! Just what I need - an Idea and inspiration on how it could be done. Love the perfect placement for a 'tricycle' configuration. I guess I'm off designing and then see how I go with a 3d print effort. (no spare parts or the like) Great job and MANY thanks for taking the time to video, edit and post the build.

Amazing figure model! Ambitious project, good luck!! 😮

même si Monogram est une marque ancienne ,à leur epoque ils ont fait des modèles vraiment en avance sur leur temps. La qualité était là .j'en possède encore de nombreux à monter, mais je ne m'en séparerais pas car on peux les améliorer avec des photo découpes pour les cockpits. Donc ce sont de très bonnes bases . Superbe ce montage .

Awesome 👏

Absolutely dislike this version Nautilus. Goofy looking design.

'A hack having fun'. The way it should be! There's plenty of insanely detailed and skilful builds of this kit on modelling forums being documented, then just stop mid build. I think too many modellers fall into the trap of chasing perfection at the cost of enjoyment.

Tamiya really should do a retool of this kit. The other 1/32 F-14 (Trumpeter, Revell) kits have significant issues. This could be a halo kit.

Just building mine and I had no issue fitting the metal wing support piece. Slotted on nicely with no force required at all

Hey Mal, as you were thinking about adding smoke. Found this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqCxfqF8fqhnj9Usi=BhOxuUeCQOCS3RvM I like it :) but with smoke you have to keep in mind that the smoke will drop down somewhere. So by doing this too often the smoke can / will create a layer of the Smoking liquid on the model

Nice kit, and if I remember correctly Space is one of your favourites :) looking forward to this project of yours with hopefully plenty of videos :) :)

That is awesome! I loved Space 1999 (not as much as I loved their previous series 'UFO' but I did love it a lot)

Very cool find! Yet another epic project for us to delight in as you build it up. I've never seen this before, but I haven't watched Space: 1999 in its entirety yet. Doing an image search brings up some good pics of the filming model with its big spindly legs, I'm gonna say this is the granddaddy to Red Dwarf's Star Bug shuttle! Happy modeling!

It looks like I sent you 2 sets of engine inserts by mistake. Did I send you the instructions?

Wow! 😊 wow unboxing Video and wow to the kit 😊😊😊

That is an incredible kit, happy modeling!

look forward to the completion

Fun little Fiat 💥👍💥

Yes it was entertaining. Thanks. The 4 decals might go to the center of the rims. The cover of the box is showing it :)

I'm waiting for mine in the mail. I got the pe set from microscale, made in Russia, it's coming from Kazakhstan, won't be here for awhile. Thank you for this video
