1/144 Brewster Buffalo Aircraft RAF - Mark 1 Models - MY FIRST SCALE MODEL!

This 1/144 scale kit was an absolute pleasure to review, assemble and paint. For those that are new to my channel, I'm primarily a wargamer but I've always had an interest in scale models and I've decided to combine the two. I hope this video will help inspire others to follow suit!
Things to note:
- Props are from www.propblur.com .
- Tamiya paints mixed with Tamiya acrylic thinners at a 1:1 ratio, airbrush set to 20PSI and 0.15mm needle used for all airbrushing.
- Harder and Steenbeck 2in1 Evo airbrush.
- Decal application • How to Apply Decals Li... .

I used to build in 1/144 but darn, that was a long long time ago. I had a whole little air force. Fun models, quick to build and paint and easy to make look good. Good to see.

[@paintingpanzers]

Absolutely mate, I couldn't agree more. I'd love to see some of your old builds! Thanks 😁

[@Aminuts2009]

@@paintingpanzers I would too! I was very young and none of that stuff made it to my older self.

[@chadkennedy7261]

Awesome job. Not enough people building 144 aircraft so I would definitely like to see more.

[@paintingpanzers]

Thanks Chad 😁 I've got a big stash of 1/144 aircraft waiting for paint so plenty more to come. The next will be a Lancaster Bomber 😆

[@Francisco_CS]

Thanks, really enjoyed it, I'll be here waiting for more👍

[@paintingpanzers]

Thanks a lot for that buddy :) I have plenty more in the works so hopefully you won't have to wait long!

[@joeokabayashi8669]

Well done! Inspiring. I too, use 1/144 scale A/C and Armor kits for wargaming.

[@paintingpanzers]

Thank you buddy 😀 some of the 1/144 kits are amazing so I can see why you'd prefer them 🤭

[@daviessuperchannel]

That's awesome! I've always liked the Brewster Buffalo, you've done a great job.

[@paintingpanzers]

Thank you buddy :) that means a lot! I really enjoyed this kit.

[@user-go9sr1uw6q]

Doing my own version of this kit and thanks for sharing how you did yours, love it! Although it is a RAAF version you've done not RAF.

[@paintingpanzers]

That's awesome 👌 be sure to show me how yours comes out 😁 in regards to the RAF markings, they're what's marked on the decal sheet but I've just checked on google and you're spot on!! How did I miss that? Thanks for the correction.

[@user-go9sr1uw6q]

@@paintingpanzers all good mate! it doesn't detract from your fine model although the options are for RAAF & RAF based in Singapore as per the box. I've ordered the blurred props so looking forward to using them.

[@adambrooker5649]

Well done, more of these please!

[@paintingpanzers]

Glad to hear it 😋

[@Andrew-se4tg]

This series looks like it's gonna be great!

[@paintingpanzers]

Haha thanks Andrew 😋 we are returning to Europe next video with a very interesting but unique aircraft.

[@Andrew-se4tg]

@@paintingpanzers looking forward to it! Don't know if you follow miniture realms channel but you might be interested in checking out his new vlog today. He's just gotten into fow I guess looking forward to seeing how he progress as well! I love all the videos you guys do, keep em coming! Cheers from 🇺🇸👍

[@paintingpanzers]

@@Andrew-se4tg Yeah I've just started to watch his stuff, I really enjoy it :) thanks again for your support buddy, it's truly appreciated!

[@schoon8654]

Mark I makes wonderful kits, and you've done a great job with it. What game will you be using this for?

[@paintingpanzers]

Thank you so much buddy 🙏 it'll be used for Flames of War but honestly, it can probably be used for other wargames too.

[@PanzerSchule]

Lovely wee plane!

[@paintingpanzers]

Haha its so smalllll! 😝

[@trekanbelluvitsh]

It looks great! 👍 With landing gear up but without a pilot it looks a bit spooky to me.👻 😁

[@paintingpanzers]

Haha thanks buddy! You'll have to look a little closer, the plane certainly has a pilot 😋

[@trekanbelluvitsh]

@@paintingpanzers I am getting old. My eyes get crooked and bent, my hair gets blurry and my back becomes grey. 😅

[@paintingpanzers]

@@trekanbelluvitsh haha easily done mate, I find myself in the same boat 🤣 upon further research he is sitting really low but I couldn't do much about that as he was a 1/144 pilot 😔 perhaps I could've given him a bigger butt or seat!

[@propblur]

@@paintingpanzers Not sure big butts were as popular back then.

[@paintingpanzers]

@@propblur unfortunately for them, imagine fighting the war and having access to KFC. They'd never fit in the plane 😝

[@adambrooker5649]

I like the painting music!

[@paintingpanzers]

Haha youtube audio 🤣

[@kevinkuster5225]

Where did you get those amazing spinning propellers?

[@paintingpanzers]

They're from www.propblur.com 😁

[@marksmith6091]

I have so many questions! Firstly what airbrush are you using to do these models with? What pressure setting do you have the airbrush Airfeed set to? What paints are you using? Are they oil based or water-based? I see what appears to be codes ,and are those with a particular paint manufacturer? Here in the United States we’re used to seeing FS which means field standard and then a number following the FS to know what color the paint is. incredible video incredible work! A true artist!

[@paintingpanzers]

WOW thank you for your lovely words. I do apologise for the lack of information, its all still new to me so it's all things I'll add in the future 😊 I do have more information within the video description but I'll add it to the video next time 😉 1) Harder and Steenbeck 2in1 Evo with an additional .15mm needle/nozzle. 2) I only used my .15mm needle for this plane which I set my compresser to 1 bar (15psi) but you could do it at 20psi. 3) The paints used are all Tamiya acrylic for airbrushing thinned 1:1 with Tamiya acrylic thinners X20A. The paints used after airbrushing are all VJ water based. The codes shown are for the Tamiya and VJ paints. I'm not sure on the FS numbers unfortunately 😔 I hope this helps and if you have any other questions I'm happy to answer them 😁

Thanks so much!
