I've got one of these to make. I shall be using your video as the ultimate instruction guide as I tackle the construction of my kit.👍🏼👍🏼

[@TheModelShed]

you’ll enjoy it I’m sure - lovely kit

[@triruns]

What a handsome little aircraft. Beautifully done, Steve!

[@TheModelShed]

Very nice Steve, that polished aluminium paint finish is impressive.

[@TheModelShed]

[@RayWheeldon]

Exemplary modelling narration camera work .I could watch your videos for hours on end . Kudos to you sir !!!

[@TheModelShed]

Thank you that’s nice to know glad you enjoy them.

[@Marie579]

Steve it might of only been a two part build but you’ve made a beautiful model out of it, seriously impressive! 👍👍👍👍

[@TheModelShed]

Thank you very much I enjoyed it.

[@davidguy6823]

Stunning work as always. A super kit but at my level of expertise it would represent a nightmare in a box so whilst I can admire your skills and patience I don’t plan to add this kit to my stash!

[@TheModelShed]

😬😁

[@StarGazer519]

Another gem ready. Absolutely an amazing job.

[@TheModelShed]

Thank you I’m pleased with it

[@soppdrake]

Excellent result - what a beauty!

[@TheModelShed]

Yes a nice aircraft looks good in the silver and colourful markings I think

[@iannicholls7476]

A lovely build and a very nicely produced video. Lots of useful information in there, particularly regarding the engine cylinders and rigging. I’ve started mine and you’ve given me some handy pointers, thanks.

[@TheModelShed]

Good - I hope you enjoy it as much as I did

[@Marley-k2i]

Thank you Olivier👍

[@hacheyp]

You’re one of the few people I follow using Citadel paints. I was a huge Warhammer 40k builder for years and loved those paints!

[@TheModelShed]

they’re great for brush painting Paul I love them and they’re my go to as you know

[@TheWGLOVER]

A beautiful piece of art.

[@TheModelShed]

Love the bulldog - great lines

[@joepucillo1338]

Great job as usual Steve! Looking forward to your next build.

[@TheModelShed]

thanks Joseph

[@RubyMarkLindMilly]

Beautiful build lovely crisp work excellent stuff all round Airfix really have come on in quality in recent kits 👍

[@TheModelShed]

yes they have this is a lovely kit

[@tonycooper1235]

very nice , see you at the club Saturday.

[@TheModelShed]

Will do Tony 👍

[@raleighlamb3324]

Beautiful work (as usual), on a nice little kit! I thought that polished aluminum over the gloss black was going to look like a mirror, but it came out quite nice! I have heard that AK bought the Alclad line, if you know anything about that, please share it with us. Once again, beautiful work Steve!

[@TheModelShed]

I didn't know about that I thought a different company had bought Alclad. Some of the guys at my club use it but I can't recall the name just now.

[@evanandgemma1]

Great build as always Steve. 👍

[@TheModelShed]

Thanks 👍

[@davidroberts2777]

Top notch build. Enjoyed this as always.

[@TheModelShed]

Thanks David 👍

[@patrickroos739]

Excellent result!! Looks very nice. I have the kit and was surprised with the crispness of the moulding for an Airfix kit. Will build it as a Swedish J7.

[@TheModelShed]

interesting option - I don’t have any inter war RAF types and I like how colourful they were so it was always RAF for me

[@SMAZVidoes]

Looks beautiful. Great tutorial on the rigging.

[@TheModelShed]

Thanks I like the nickel wire option. I’d use 0.2mm next time though

[@philipway7562]

Very nice, that was my solution as well to cut the pins off to allow the cylinders on. : )

[@TheModelShed]

Great minds Philip - I can’t see how they would go in otherwise

[@johntreloar8203]

Fantastic results Steve, brilliant build as always.

[@TheModelShed]

cheers John

[@eddywells5689]

Great vid and build 🙏🍺💞👍💪

[@TheModelShed]

Thanks Eddy

[@paulsmodels]

Turned out really nice!

[@TheModelShed]

thanks paul

[@goforitpainting]

So cool. 🛩

[@TheModelShed]

thank you

[@ronaldbyrne3320]

Nickle-silver rod for the rigging - brilliant (pun intended) Steve. 😁 Would that work on a Wingnut Wings model? With the elastic string I worry that they will eventually sag or snap. Doesn’t happen with metal rods, although you won’t have scale turnbuckles on the rigging then. 🤔

[@TheModelShed]

It would work Ronald although the larger distances in 1/32 might mean its harder to maintain the straight runs. For 1/32 I still prefer elastic rigging thread and as you say its possible to represent turnbuckles with it.

[@ronaldbyrne3320]

@@TheModelShed thank you. 🙏🏻

[@ech0tang0]

Looks very nice. Do you have a link to where one can buy those precut masks?

[@TheModelShed]

Look up premium hobbies - that’s where I got those

[@johnhughes2653]

Did you have any fit issues with the trailing edges of the wings, Steve? I have seen another build whre they didn't want to come together along the edge.

[@TheModelShed]

Yes I did John - they’re thick and benefit from a bit of sanding to get them to come together without leaving a fine gap.

[@eddywells5689]

Is the tiny prop on the port wing too far back ??

[@TheModelShed]

Can’t see it Eddy. looks ok to me

[@eddywells5689]

Look at photo 51.06 ???

[@TheModelShed]

I see what you mean it looks as though it's not in front of the wing. It is though - must just be the angle of the photo.

[@eddywells5689]

Couldn't see you making a mistake !!! 👍😂
