@@NealBosher do it, it's not that bad for the money, but it's also bad if that makes sense. Build whatever you want is my motto. I just did this for a laugh.

It made me laugh when you mentioned the engine cover, it's a dog lol. Although being able to see the engine was the coolest thing to 10 year old me.

@@d1stortion thanks. 3 years ago. Wow. I really must post some new stuff. Haha. Also if you're feeling brave mix your colours alot lighter than you think. Like for dark green add yellow/buff to it. It'll be alot lighter and look weird but when you start to weather it and put washes etc on it darkens it back down closer to the original colour. I found that a game changer for me.

@@WHITENo1SE13 which is my point for £23 it's a great kit. For the £70 I paid originally not so much

@@Tracy-mu7kv I stopped worrying tbh but like 12/15 psi

⁠Thank you. Going to try this kit.

@@martaaay774 I eyeball it but 50/50 is a good start. Depending on thinners.

@@thebobloblawshow8832 thanks, I must pull my finger out and do more.

@@andrewdowns3403 it's not that bad of a kit tbh.

@@thebobloblawshow8832 thanks

@@richardstiers9010 there's another video showing how to put the next coat on.

@@bobisbell1837 if you want an absolute BELTER of a tamiya kit the new MK1 Spit is fantastic

Not really. In fact that's what I do now. I post shade. I use the darkest base colour and then using the same wobbly technique build the colours getting lighter each pass. The way in the video is easier as it's just white then the base colour on top so it's great for beginners/people whove not tried the technique before. But I tend to not use it much. In one of my stug videos is how I do it now.

@@RedFiveScaleModels Thanks, I build now Figther Jets. So this is new for me and i try something new for the next time. I had my X-wing, Y-wing, Snowspeeder and At-St. I did not so much with the panels themself😉

@@ThomasBuchwinkler487 you can do F16s etc like this. I've not myself but seen it done and it looks really cool

@@RedFiveScaleModels Is that you or the AI that keeps deleting my answer to you? 😡

Its not that bad tbh. Glad you enjoyed it.

LUCKY! Damn you 😂😂

@@mmackenzie3922 well you can just sod off then can't you 😂😂😂😉 lucky af

Ok? I should find another hobby because I was disappointed by a kit? It has obvious flaws and was at a pretty high price when I bought it. Comparable price wise with much better kits. It's a review, sorry it wasn't to your liking. Thanks

The point of the video is the cost vs hassle. It's an expensive kit, or was at launch. Promises so much but fails. You shouldn't have to go and research the colours of wiring looms in a 109 cockpit to get it right. Also I guarantee that a decal sheet/printed PE or 3d decals would look far better on the majority of builders kits. Also not everyone wants to go to the far end of using a single hair to paint artificial horizons on dials in 1/35 that will bearly be seen. Aircraft kits of any kind of value should have dials and seatbelts in at least decal form. Not everyone out there will be as experienced as you or I so if someone spends their hard earned and find out basic things aren't in the box that's a problem. You're looking at this from your own personal POV. I'm looking at it on behalf of others not just myself. It's a review to advise people of the pitfalls. I have the ability, time and money to buy extra parts, paint individual dials etc. Not everyone does.

@@RedFiveScaleModels Well, can understand that but if your spending that much on a kit it probably means you've built a few kits. Nobody buys an expensive kit right off. I like doing research on my projects I usually learn quite a bit more about the subject than before. It's never too late to learn. Your modeling history, why not learn while your having fun?

What gives you that idea 😂😂 yes mate.

@RedFiveScaleModels 🤣 there's not many of us scale modellers up here apparently mate. I wondered if you were up here or like me, a foreigner as I'm from Lancashire originally

Hahaha, honestly food colouring. 😂😂😂 making cakes with the kids.

Yep. Its pretty bad that the instructions are so poor.

You can, it shouldnt make a huge difference, just allows you to see where youre spraying a little easier. That said ive lost one of mine so do that now anyway lol

Might want to adjust your contrast if its washed out. You also seem awfully bitter. Why you felt the need for negativity idk. But next time just dont bother commenting and move on. Its also an INCREDIBLY basic kit so not much to show, if youve made it you would know. But thanks for your feedback. It will be filed in the relevant recepticle.

i see ... so only positive comment allowed... telling others to praise or shut up won't make your videos more praiseworthy ... @@RedFiveScaleModels

@@martinmengh not at all, but the video isnt washed out. And i dont know how much you expect to see on a kit that has a minimal number of parts. The cockpit is made up of 3 pieces? Short of hand holding through literally every snip of my cutters i dont know what more you expect to see. So to come and comment and call other peoples efforts mediocre just strikes as bitter. Its certainly not constructive. It doesnt help anyone. Id love to see your efforts 👌

Check out the other videos i mention what i use in there.

Exactly. Its great for a beginner/practice but if youre hoping for a good harrier model this aint it.

Erm, i hadnt realised theyd stopped tbh. I still have some left. Tbh, i dont really know. Definatley not baking powder or some home brew stuff as they yellow.

@@RedFiveScaleModels aye it’s been discontinued apparently, their website is gone.

Ah ok, if you pay for my kits then I will, but until then lets just agree I/we can paint my/out kits however I/we like. Quite why you decided click on a video titled "Pre-shading" only to then moan about pre-shading is beyond me. But if you enjoy flat/boring looking models then good for you, after all its your hobby. This video is aimed at people interested in the techinque. Im not saying its right or wrong, unlike yourself. Lets face it, it would be pretty dull if everyone in the hobby was the same......oh and also I can show you tonnes of reference pictures of panel fading and panel lines. Thanks for taking the time to comment though. 👍

Oh I’m sorry, I hadn’t realised you were Daniel Zamarbide’s burner account Hank! Thank the gods they made you the model making police and you caught this person trying to help others. Go get bent you complete plank.

Yes pre-shading and washes may not be "realistic" but the effect is just what the mind needs to see the model as the real one. The smaller the model, scala whice, the more "paint" details you need to be convincing the detail is.

Its a great kit.

Mine was from qunita studios. Theyre russian if that makes a difference. There are other options just google 3d decals

Thank you 👍🏻

Glad i could help

Tbh its ok. Has issues. But for the price its ok. Ive bought kits 5 times the value that are as bad or worse.
