How much thinning if at all for the testors glosscote lacquer if any to airbrush? I have 4 models of civilian 747 1/144 from early 70's.

Great tip nice and to the point

Nice build. I did the all white scheme however, that gloss in the intake is something i wish id been aware of before.... I want to do a rebuild now🤔

I know it would be an expensive ask, and modelling is expensive enough as it is, but has anyone actually tried Culture Hustle's Blackest Black 4.0 and Silveriest Silver paints in these jobs/projects, even as just an experiment for a youtube video?

I was late to see this video it should be fix my Calsonic R35 decal earlier, anyway i had a lot of old car kit incoming thanks for the tips n tricks

I used to refuel from these aircraft, and that model looks exactly like the original. 😎👍 Great work

Would gloss varnish for miniature painting help? Also, I am trying to find a way to create my own stencils. Tiny ones. Wanting to put leaf patterns on a tau armor, from warhammer.

thankyou for this. A great tip re the air intakes!

pretty good ... panel lines somewhat over done

Great technique. In order to avoid bleeding around the tape, once you have masked up the part, first spray a light base colour. That’ll seal the edge of the tape and then you can spray the checkers colour. Cheers.

Thanks for this. Recently found some ooooold kits for great prices at flea markets and looking for a way to restore the decals.

Very good!

Excellent idea…! I just made a color pallet for all 108 of my paints. Thank you for sharing.

the fact that we were ,mostly on a par with the USA for great aircraft designs, post WW2 is a great inspiration for me.

airfix are probably the best produced kits. usually 100% everytime.

So glad this got suggested on my feed. Thanks, from a long-time hack.

Awesome work!

Fantastic build.. I have a matchbox one to do

This is exactly the video I needed. Thank you.

CA is a lot harder than styrene and it tends to crack when re-scribed. I have given up using putty or CA to fill seams and instead rely almost exclusively with sprue-goo.

Awesome video! Can you brush on the Testors Glosscoat?

Very informative! I used to build model cars as a kid, but never painted with an airbrush, only using a traditional manual brush. Now going to look at availability and price options…thank you!

I tried using purple power and it didn't do anything. I'll have to try the brake fluid next time.

Most helpful to make my modelling journey more enjoyable. Thanks and have a great 2025.

Just bought a silhouette portrait 4 for our local scale modeling club, and your video has proven invaluable , providing clear and concise information on the subject! Thanks!

The CA tip is a great idea! Never tried that until now and works great! CA can be a PIA to sand if accelerator is used to speed drying but letting CA cure naturally in ambient temperature it sands nice. Thanks for the tip!

Amazing tip - varnished the decals from an Airifx Hannover Cl.iiia I bought in the 1970s and then forgot about - applied perfectly - thank you.

Can i ask if i youse revel email colours on my model will this hurt it?

Just did my P38 with your technique, it came out perfect! Thank you so much!

Where do y'all get that black filter looking spongy-type material you stuff into cockpits and other wholes to block paint? I've been looking but can't find out what it is.

there's 3d versions of this on thingaverse. easy peasy

How long did you wait for the paint to cure?

Superb. Bravo!

Way too over complicated. I just sprayed a P-51 with Vallejo metallics. Simply primed and painted as I would any other model. Looks amazing. I even painted one wing gloss black before applying the metallic to see if it mattered. Didn’t make a difference. Way too much work for the end result.

That is a thing of beauty sir. Brava!

Nice work. This is one of my favorite topics. Can we talk about purchasing a few kits from you? I want to skip the eBay charge if possible. Thank you.

Holy grail of finishes? 🤣🤦‍♂ Are you serious? Dude, it's a plastic model and you can paint it whatever color you want.

WOW! Tried it and it works very well. Thanks a lot

I’m so glad KZbin actually threw me a recommendation that’s totally my bag. Who doesn’t love any of the three V-bombers, this was a real treat to watch. I had originally thought I would just listen to the build whilst getting on with the chores but I was sucked in by your videography of the build, your voice over of the processes and marvelled at the many techniques used that I had to take a break and avidly watch from start to finish. IMO it’s an epic build. So much so that I’ve liked and subbed and will be working my way through your back catalogue. Sincerely thanks for all the effort that you poured into this build.

I have over 100 Humbrol colours 35-50 years old and all still thin and spray fine.

I have this kit and an Avrro Vulcan - your build is awesome and love your tips/hint - excellent clear easy to listen to and watch. Nice work! 🙂

What a great build....and inspiring...Working on the 1/72 Vulcan 'Black Buck' as we speak...I have printed out the camo at the correct scale to make masks for the camo...Wish me luck

very cool

Really nice

Beautiful build and i really like your video presentation and explanation of things as you go along. I love it when I discover another excellent modeling channel, I look forward to watching more of your videos and i just subscribed. 🙂🙂

Beautiful build. Well done. Detail is spot on.

Excellent work.

Thank you for this video!!!!

Great tips, thanks 👌👌
