I built a 1/72 Ventura with markings from the VB-144 plane dad flew off Roi-Namur in 1944 and surprised him with it about 30 years ago.

[@maxmessenger175]

Alex you have inspired me to get back into model kit building again. I've dug out some of the old kits I had when I was 10 years old and I'm going to make them up

[@AlexModeling]

I wish you above all peace and FUN! Honored!

[@frederickdonley5392]

Great job from the photos you can't tell its a model again well done thanks for sharing sharing the videos

[@godzilla36]

The detail painting that you have done is amazing,I swear every one of your build just gets better and better. Great video

[@AlexModeling]

+Godzilla Thank you!

[@DavidSmith-ss1cg]

Thanks for another great video, Alex! The pre-shading looks so good on a kit with good mold detail to put paint on; your work looks so real at times! Watching you work, with craftsmanship and attention to following steps properly, is like a seat in a technical college art class - "This is how it should be done." Keep up the great work.

[@AlexModeling]

Thank you so much for your kind words! thank you

Boas Alex, epá o Ventura tá muito bom mesmo, obrigado por partilhares! Deste uma grande ideia com o BlueTack, fiz isso com o Fiat G91 da Ocidental, que resolvi "repintar" e correu bem, saudações dos Açores!

Parabéns Alex, excelente trabalho!

[@AlexModeling]

Obrigado Guilherme!

[@AlexModeling]

Guilherme Furtado Não é o meu melhor até agora... mas para quem tinha uma semana livre... montar um kit destes e fazer um video todis os dias... tempo para construir... filmar.. editar... processar... e claro... as vezes fazer o jantar e coisas da casa... acho que não ta nada mau:)

[@capitaotexugo]

Alex, great job! Congrats! Big hug!

[@danieldalsasso2451]

... muito bacana o trabalho!!! ficou excelente o resultado!!!

[@SirRathalos]

I've never seen this plane before your videos, gotta say though I really like it. That decal on the rear top turret looks awesome, it's blended really well!!! as always Keep up the good work! Thanks

[@AlexModeling]

Sir Rathalos Scale models Its a great kit! if you try it you will see

[@arnegrentzelius4635]

[@strat588]

A great job as usual Alex! I may look for this one myself!

[@AlexModeling]

+Doug Roy It is a very good kit and with a tremendous good fit!

[@mikeMuppetmodeller]

I’ll be building this same kit very shortly. But my favourite of your builds is the 1/18 SBD Dauntless I gained a lot from watching that build.

[@guayomendez]

Nice build, greetings from Guatemala, i enjoy your videos so much! :) so keep modeling, always with a smile!

[@AlexModeling]

[@cesarramos9314]

Um belíssimo trabalho Alex,

[@AlexModeling]

+Cesar Ramos Muito obrigado Cesar... tive uma reação pequena com o verniz mate neste... mas gosto dele à mesma:)

[@cesarramos9314]

AlexModeling tive o mesmo problema com um Sea Vixen (Airfix 1/48) o decalque(Cartograph) em sua parte transparente ficou branco. Já pensei em remover e pintar novamente, mas é frustrante após um mês de trabalho ter este tipo de problema. Abraços.

[@AlexModeling]

+Cesar Ramos eu sei o frustrante que é companheiro... tive muitas construções q ficaram em estantes e nunca mais lhes peguei simplesmente porque vais embalado e motivado a gostar do que estas a realizar e de repente algo te tira a PIKA toda! :)

[@carlosteran5617]

[@muhammadalzarkauimarcelino4932]

Esse modelo foi um dos mais Bonito bi motor que inventaram 😍

[@blossomtrash6113]

My local model shop has this kit for 20€. I kind of want to buy it but I am saving for Trumpeter 1/72 scale TU-22M3. Hard decisions...Your Ventura came out really well, one of the best builds of yours in my opinion along with your Eduard Draken!

[@markitos1055]

I love your painting case!

[@AlexModeling]

marcos lorenzo mee too! ! lol :) Merry Christmas!

[@pdc.1508RedDevil.]

Just beautiful work.

[@2-Hands]

What did you use when you brush on the Seams of the Fuselage???

[@1203robocop]

dziękuje bardzo za wyczerpujący i bardzo pomagający film.Będę niedługo sklejał ten model ale z małą zmianą.Pan robi PV 1 ,a ja będę robił MK II .Są do siebie podobne.Różnią się tylko malowaniem. Bardzo dziękuje za pomoc. A tak pozatym jestem z Polski .Pozdrawiam.

[@LucoModeling]

Impressive work! It looks easy to build... but everything looks easy in professional hands ;) Greetings!

[@AlexModeling]

luc-o Not my best! but thanks

[@Microsoftlicence]

Alex, great video, but as for the glazing, there is another technique I tried. To make a mask on himself canopy cover, fitting into place at the last moment, if carefully get incredible

[@AlexModeling]

+Igor0711979 Kutsenko Thanks. Will do that the next one mate:)

[@GKHarv]

What a beautiful build.

[@vmlelectronics]

Hi! Don't you have problems of adherence of the parts for not removing the paint from the contact surfaces?

[@ennisanderson2719]

I almost couldn't believe you were using a toothpick to paint with. I've been doing that since I was a teenager back in the early 60's. I didn't have anything else to use because there weren't any hobby shops. I was delighted to see you brush painting. Don't see much of that anymore. Have you ever considered making this an USAAF, the B-34 Lexington. Except for some having fewer windows there isn't any external differences. The British also used the B - 34.

[@AlexModeling]

Ennis Anderson its a possibility... you know there are so many videos with top brushes ( not criticizing) when all we needed sometimes is a good old... toothpi k:)

[@ennisanderson2719]

Absolutely !

[@mattnadeau7101]

Alex. If I don’t have a air brush right now for highlights can I you a black permanent marker?

[@DaveFer]

Hey! Great video. Thanks for sharing. I'm not a modeler, but researching family history. My uncle was a tail gunner on a PV-1 and shot down by a German sub near VA. It's great to see a detail model up close and get a better idea what it looked like. (Btw, are you a Portagee too?)

[@AlexModeling]

Im Portuguese yes! Cheers! :)

[@69jmcc]

Very nice build alex!! The look on your face when you saw the revell stamp on the rear stabiliser was priceless.didn't think they did that anymore is this an older kit?.

[@AlexModeling]

+69jmcc héllo mate! Its an "old" 90s kit if i remember well (not sure anymore and im sorry if im wrong) so i was pretty surprised! Of corse i "dramatized" the scene but tge first time i saw it i was pretty much like the video:)

[@MinimalRacoon]

Fantastic Work...

[@InternationalBritishModeler]

Super cool video, Alex...I wish I had the video editing software you use. I watched every second of this and enjoyed every one of them! Lovely build, too...it looks very inviting, so much so that I'm sold on this kit now...had my eye on it, but now have to get it and build it! Keep having fun! Cheers, Martin : )

[@AlexModeling]

International British Modeler Hello Martin! this was not my best but i had dun on it and thats the important.. the Kit is fabulous you would just love it and i can t remember the price but i know it was affordable... for a modeler like you i believe it would be a tremendous build! For video editing i use Adobe Premiere CC 2017 (I pay it monthly 24.99 i think) sometimes i regret it.. but others like now... don t:) do t miss understand me... its a fabulous sofrware and way superiir to what i know but sometimes... well... i wish i just bought a software and period... but its good like this... Thanks and i hope you are ok

[@InternationalBritishModeler]

AlexModeling Thanks for the information regarding your editing software, much appreciated : ) Yes, I was looking at software on line and it seems you can buy or rent it monthly these days....decisions, decisions, hmm? I'm doing okay thanks, hope your thumb is healing quickly? Cheers : )

[@AlexModeling]

+International British Modeler Hi Martin. My thumb is fine already... next time have to be more careful!:)

[@InternationalBritishModeler]

AlexModeling Good to hear it is okay....thumbs up to that! :P

[@MrRon6977]

Nicely done sir.

[@AlexModeling]

Thank you Ron! Not my best and the flat coat was still drying (more humidity), but overall i had a lot of fun

[@modelcitizen6759]

Just watching this makes you realise what a punch these Ventura’s packed. Great example of pre-shading at work, you keep your layers light, I find I always obliterate mine and end up post shading - mainly because I use the hairy-stick! I have bought myself a cheap, cheap airbrush (one that Nuno de Costa did a vlog on) so having seen this I’ll be experimenting using your vlog as a guide. What a week, and I like the Ventura, great wee kit thank you Alex - what’s next?

[@AlexModeling]

It was indeed a very productive week my friend! and i loved it! Im planing a 1/48 REVELL ARADO 234 ... but not sure yet:)

[@AlexModeling]

And about those cheap AB... despite that i was given an Neo Iwata i used 2 years cheap ABs and i can tell you... its the hand and not the AB:).. you will do fine.. important... clean it always or else wont last long

[@modelcitizen6759]

Thanks Alex. Arado 234 - great taste Sir. Enjoy.

[@AlexModeling]

Model Citizen Thanks:)

Looks great Alex nice build

[@AlexModeling]

+rene stofregen could be better... but... had a lot of fun and thats what matters

[@renestofregen4048]

It looks great Alex as always A tip i bought a extra airbrush from Fengda bd-130 a great airbrush Sorry that i ask so much but what do you use to lubricant the needle of your airbrush Keep up the good work 👍👍

[@AlexModeling]

rene stofregen no problem... i use sometimes a very very thin aplication of vaseline but there is a very acessible lube on ebay... search for it and you will find... also thare are some great modelers that manufactures they r own... i sugest you start by searching here on youtube... tell me if you can find and don t worry ASAP will answer... :)

[@renestofregen4048]

Thanks Alex

[@AlexModeling]

+rene stofregen no problem mate

[@knit1strum1]

Sounds like music from one of casey Neistat’s vlogs (around 15:00) , great build as well

[@trekrider101]

I'm am new to your videos i was wondering what kind of airbrush do you use and what is your air pressure.

[@AlexModeling]

I use a NEO for IWATA at 10-13 psi

[@phayzyre1052]

Nice build! For crying out loud why does Revell STILL put the copy write info, year released and the country of origin ON THE OUTSIDE as shown at 11:40!?? That is SO archaic and yesteryear! Revell, please do us a favor and STOP doing that! This is 2017, not 1957. Put it on the inside where it can't be seen!

[@DD-bv9jl]

Another masterpiece Alex.Can i ask was the thing you brushed to fill the gaps diluted putty?

[@AlexModeling]

Doruk DD thanks! its tamyia primer for airbrush.. is a bit more thick and helps to fill the gaps... but it was brushed! :)

[@DD-bv9jl]

AlexModeling Oh thx

[@maxmessenger175]

Alex what make of airbrush do you use?

[@AlexModeling]

A NEO IWATA.. a work horse... strong and reliable

+vincent fiore because i can :) thanks for watching?

[@AlexModeling]

[@aideneverington5512]

How did you manage to use Humbrol Decal fox without it melting the Tamiya paint off? Every time I use it with Tamiya paints, it just brings the paint off.

[@AlexModeling]

+X_SniperSpectrum before applying the decalfix, first give it a coat or 2 of a clear gloss varnish... let it dry and Then apply the decals... what yhe varnish does is to protect te paint underneath and to make a smooth shinny surface... protects and stops the silvering efects from the decals... and when you finish decaling and they re dry give another coat of clear varnish

[@aideneverington5512]

AlexModeling Ah right okay, thanks! I'll make sure to do that next time.

[@AlexModeling]

+X_SniperSpectrum If you do and lwt the clear Varnish dry and cure you will have the paint protected and after aplying the decals and again aplying the clear varnish gou will have a glass like surface to apply washes

[@aideneverington5512]

AlexModeling That's great! And I definitely won't be applying gloss paint finish on top of the decals like I did before, which pretty much melted my roundels on my model!

[@kairaspdaruwala710]

[@gta4ever3003]

I´ve just finishing my F4U 1/48 from Revell. I have a problem. After my Vallejo Air colours I´ve airbrushed a layer of gloss varnish (Vallejo), which i mixed with Vallejo Thinner. On some areas the gloss-varnish peals of like skin after a sunburn. Can anybody be so kind to tell me where is the reason for my problem?

[@AlexModeling]

Did you waited a few hours before applying the varnish? Paints even if the same range need to be cured, also, did you used a high pressure? Have you applyed an oil wash and if so, are you sure it was completly dried? Asking questions trying to help! I hope you can go through this

[@gta4ever3003]

@@AlexModeling Many thanks Alex for your help. Yes the colour dried for 1 week at room temperature. I think that is enough?... I applied approx 3.5bar during the gloss airbrush. How do you mix the gloss varnish?

[@gta4ever3003]

You are a really skilled modeller and airbrusher. Is it maybe possible that we have a talk via WhatsApp?

[@AlexModeling]

This one was just about fun... i only had to give it a better and decebt matt coat at the end.. looks bad on video i was in a rush to finish it all the video and the build i could at least waited to dry... and i am not a better modeller than u... cheers :):)

[@Zone5Aviation]

It doesn’t matter in this hobby how good anyone is although I know a few who think it is but that’s besides the point. I’m building the old Monogram 1/72 EF-111 Raven right now and just having fun with it. It’s not my best work but like you, it doesn’t have to be. I don’t like being serious about my build anymore apart the Strikemasters I’ve done but they weren’t for me so they had to be a bit more precise. Keep up the good work.

[@alexbenzin1932]

Nice job but i think you had to look out some information about the aircraft. there is serious mistake about engines(its location in the engine cowling and its painting)

[@AlexModeling]
