Airfix 1/48 | Hawker Hunter F.5 | Full Video Build |

This is a full video build of the 1/48 scale ‪@OfficialAirfix‬ Hawker Hunter, the F.5 variant. The model depicts WP190 of No.1 Squadron RAF, which operated in the ill-fated Operation Muskateer, Suez 1956.
The video may feel a little disjointed, as halfway through I completely lost all my modelling mojo, badly. It did feel as if it would never come back! But back I am.
Thanks to ‪@ChampionScaleModelling‬ for cutting masks.
I hope you enjoy this vid as it taken a long time coming....

[@TimsScaleModelling]

Thanks Al, I’ll try and more content up but in this heat it’s difficult to sit at the bench… 😥

Pink Primer for yellow, interesting, nice work Tim👍👍

[@TimsScaleModelling]

Mojo is a nightmare, we all loose it from time to time. But thankfully it returned with excellent results. Absolutely love the cold war jet. Great work. Happy modelling.

[@TimsScaleModelling]

Thank you Mark

[@PeteCourtier]

Thank goodness for mojo restoration. What a beauty 👍🍺 Also the video production is awesome. Great stuff.

[@TimsScaleModelling]

Thank you Otto.. I’m not actually back to full mojo yet, I’d guess I’m running at 60%. Great comment mate ta 😍

[@PeteCourtier]

@@TimsScaleModelling when I’m keen to build I’m too tired after work, when I’m full of energy I can’t be bothered😂

[@TimsScaleModelling]

It’s a fine balance definitely Otto, best not force it

[@septiccalling8341]

Long time, no see........That is the absolute bizzo! Well worth waiting for 👍🏻👏🏻👌🏻

[@TimsScaleModelling]

Great stuff Septic ta

[@allanrichards3752]

That's a nice model. Your spraying is superb and the finish is top notch. When I buy paint I usually buy two bottles and thin one for spraying and keep the other for brushing. I hate thinning down small drops of paint unless its unavoidable. As for the cockpits I think the accurate scaling only applies to the outside dimensions of the model and interiors, like cockpits tend not to be scaled that well.

[@TimsScaleModelling]

Thanks Allen. That’s where MRP is so convenient as it’s pre-thinned

[@duncanling2127]

Stunning 👍💯🏆

[@TimsScaleModelling]

Hi Les, thank you so much mate… really means a lot 😎😎😍

[@Neontrifle]

Great build thanks for the video, I've just bought the same model so think I'll have a go. It's out of my comfort zone because I usually build tanks so thank goodness people do build videos.

[@Dean-Trower]

Hi Tim, so good to see you back at the bench. Was wondering about you just the other day. 🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻😊

[@TimsScaleModelling]

Hi Timbo 🙏🏻 I’m back but still a bit flaky 🤡🍺🍺🍻🍻

Great stuff Timbo

[@carlwashbrooke8678]

Hello Tim I have just found your channel can I ask a quick question what airbrush and compressor do you use I am looking at getting a good set up thanks for your time. Carl

[@TimsScaleModelling]

Hi Carl, thanks for watching mate. Airbrush is mostly a Badger Renegrade Krome powered by a Sparmax compressor.

[@carlwashbrooke8678]

Thanks for the reply tim much appreciated I have just got back into modelling after 20 plus years really enjoying your videos thanks again all the best. Carl

[@robbo1068]

Beautiful job, Tim. Glad that you've got your mojo back but know how you feel when it goes away. Just let the 'boy' out when it happens.....kinda works for me..... mostly. Hope it all works well for you although it's important to have a break when needed.

[@TimsScaleModelling]

Cheers Robbo

[@JakeCole1453]

Superb!

[@TimsScaleModelling]

Thanks Jake

[@SprueFascinationChannel]

Beautiful job 👍

[@jetsofthecoldwar1149]

Fantastic build and finish, glad you got your mojo back to finish it. Yes to more Cold War aviation (obviously 😂), and yes for more Suez crisis builds. So many options, with, British, French, Israel and Egypt builds 🤔

[@TimsScaleModelling]

I’ll see what I can do Jets… 😉

That resin cockpit isn't bring much extra to the party to be fair.

No Typhoon it didn’t really. We live and learn. Thanks for stopping by 👍

[@Jelly-B]

Great build. Why do my Airfix starter kits never look like this

[@TimsScaleModelling]

Thank you Jelly, you’re too kind

[@guymac1968]

Should have build the Belgian one 🙂

[@KarnageKardinalStudios]

Hey I have a special request, could you build a bf 109 E with a paint job from a game I like? Blazing angels! It has a small yellow tip just on the propeller and it has a commen broken glass styled green and dark green camouflage a number 12 and a white stripe on the back here you can use this for reference. If you can't that's fine but i would love to see this as a tribute to a wonderful game of my childhood and many other people's child hoods! ❤️ the audience will love it!!!!

[@malcolmeccles3783]

Disregarded the third colour scheme, why? Not everyone wants to build a raf version.
