1/48 Meng F-35A Lightning II

[@AVIOCHAHINEMODELS]

Cool effect on the weathering ! Not too harsh just what it takes ! I really liked it ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@fishmansf4573]

I went to an airshow is July and they did a demonstration with an F-35. Including formation flying it with a P-51.

[@harry3471]

Loved the sound of freedom at the very beginning

[@tank_driver7776]

Soooo Soviet airshows are freedom?

[@willthorogood9818]

Just found your channel and I love your videos, keep up the good work!!!

[@raymadani270]

crazy clean built. you are talented

[@tomcarrington1086]

Brilliant job

[@pauldechampignon2287]

Really nice video but it's a bit odd to watch it without you talking in the background or giving us a brief history of the aircraft you are building. I am glad that the formula of videos had changed and now videos are longer and with comment.

[@TheModelGuy]

KZbin nuked the music on this one.

[@henrysanchez4810]

Great work.

[@samkhom7710]

So beautiful😍

[@lesthiele4921]

Another great build from you, I don't know about all that masking.

[@TheModelGuy]

100% worth it in the end. It would be longer brush painting it

[@Nelson-Sunburn]

love ur vids.. i only have 1 less positive critic: not enough vids!

[@williamscott5640]

Great Job😃😎👍.

[@TheModelGuy]

Thanks William!

[@Red-rl1xx]

Super nice!

[@spinster4000]

Are you going to build TAMIYAS new F-35 lightning in 1/48 when it comes out?

[@marklazio11]

all that masking !!! woah !!!

[@sphinxbr100]

AMAZING !!!!! 😲😃👌👏👏

[@SmallSoldier]

Build looks good. What a pain doing all that masking but it turned out so that's what counts. I noticed your airbrush seems to be clogging quite a bit. Do you use the Vallejo flow improver?

[@TheModelGuy]

I use their thinner and the same issue happened on my Hurricane build. I checked my o-ring under a magnifying glass and noted that it had "feathered" if that makes sense? It's been replaced now and doesn't seem to be an issue. As for the masking I don't think their is another way to really get the RAM lines to look nice Appreciate the feedback from you

[@SmallSoldier]

Ah the dastardly O ring... that'll do it. Yes sometimes there's no other way to mask things only the hard way.

[@SmallSoldier]

Just subbed man! I thought I did already... 👊🙄

[@TheModelGuy]

Thanks bud!

[@slick2982]

Can I send you my models to assemble? I have ogre hands and broke a couple pieces :) They're not nearly as intricate as what you do, relatively simple in comparison actually.

[@gadotvplasticmodelbuilding2964]

maravilla! voy a hacer f35a de mengmodel,tambien

[@user-kb6lm2ls6s]

great video man by the way how did you fill the gap between parts? from 6:20

[@TheModelGuy]

Vallejo Putty

[@scottdean9067]

MAD!

[@midnightmodeling1639]

Very well done, what was the drying time for the oil wash?

[@TheModelGuy]

I usually let it dry for a about 30 minutes before wiping it away

[@iqmal015]

what solution did you use to get rid of the putty?

[@raphanunu6912]

No coat between decals and weathering ? Thinner normally attacks decals, have I missed something ?

[@TheModelGuy]

I don't gloss before decals, only after. Check the newest vids!

[@raphanunu6912]

@@TheModelGuy : 11'36", clear coat before decal, a std process anyway, but nothing after in this video. That's why I'm surprised.

[@TheModelGuy]

You absolutely do not need to clear before decals. I've watched a video of Will Pattison putting thick Tamiya decals on a low grit piece of sandpaper.

[@raphanunu6912]

@@TheModelGuy : MicroSet dilutes acrylics, water with dishwashing liquid doesn't cause any damage. English isn't my langage, surely I'm not clear enough but in your own video you apply varnish before decal and not after, and thinner ruins decals if they're not protected, at least in my bad experiences.

[@sohaibshehzad2052]

The masking.....

[@reefta]

14:34 - you are using enamal thinner on acrylic paint without varnish?

[@_PhamTuanCuong]

so the GBU-53 can be hanged externally, interesting

[@TheModelGuy]

They're being designed to also be used by other aircraft such as the F-16/F/A-18E as well. So it makes sense they can be hung on external hardpoints.

Ciao dove hai trovato gli adesivi da mettere sulle parti piccole? Hello where did you find the stickers to put on the small parts?

[@TheModelGuy]

I got the set from eBay.

Is the mask set included ????

No I ordered it separately

@@TheModelGuy okay thank U

[@robertjensen1438]

Just a comment for the algorithm.

[@guimplenchik]

what putty did you use during the assemble?

[@TheModelGuy]

Vallejo white putty. Since then I've been using Tamiya basic putty or epoxy putty for larger gaps

[@stressballer]

What is the ratio you are mentioning? Paint or thinner first?

[@TheModelGuy]

Thinner first.

[@evanouellette9400]

that plane is around $150 on amazon

[@TheModelGuy]

Check the vendor, it should be around $50.00 USD I believe. Amazon can have crazy mark-up if the vendor doesn't want to close the item down. That's why you'll see kits for $500+ dollars
