Yep, worth investing in good low-tack masking tape.... Don't worry, I've been at this hobby over fifty years and with every build - EVERY BUILD - I learn something new. Best from NZ.

It’s been almost two months since I’ve ordered mine. I actually drank some tea whilst watching this no joke.

[@modelmagic9930]

Also Mos I’d recommend you use Tamiya tape for that masking method next time.

That’s so very British off you lol Yeah I have a lot of tamiya tape..

Cracking outcome. It does look like an 'easy' build but you've done it proud. You've persuaded me to add it to the wishlist.

Go for it!

There is nothing better than getting and building a kit you have been waiting for or looking for forever 😁. Nice job on a nice kit 👍

[@MOS6510Models]

Thanks 👍

[@stuff31]

You did a lovely job on this kit, the decals turned out very nice! I would say that the camo is a bit blurry, but that's the fault of the masking tape not working in the first place! All in all, it looks like a very good kit, and excellently tooled as well. I've got the post-war schemes set in my stash right now, and I look forward to building it! Have a Merry Christmas!

Thanks you..have a boss christmas too

@@MOS6510Models I most certainly did! Plenty of kits were received to replenish my stash :)

[@celticwest]

You're a brave man, getting those big decals to stick as well as they did! I would have spray painted the stripes because mine would have been bubbles R us. Nice job.

[@MOS6510Models]

Micro set and a lot of Micro sol.. they were my best friends getting them to lay.. but cartograf decals are just superb

[@flipvdfluitketel867]

Use a pin with a really fine sharp tip to make tiny holes all over the decals. The holes are invisible but will allow water and air through to avoid bubbles

[@christosswc]

I love building models, painting is a chore, I don't enjoy it but can't argue with the results so do it anyway. Weathering? Pin wash and I'm done pretty much, can't be arsed any further. I leave that stuff to you guys and just sit and watch instead, more fun.

[@MOS6510Models]

Totally agree.. I'm not a huge fan of weathering. a little wash with some flory dark and wipe away

[@stuartwren5526]

Looks good. Must get one of these. A really chunky plane that looks like it means business. Peak of prop driven aircraft. Nice video.

Nice review, it looks like a lovely model to build. Weathering is to everyone’s individual taste but if done in scale then normally you won’t see very much. Much like panel lines! All the best everyone, Ian

This new airfix tempest looks so much better then the old tempest kit.

[@MOS6510Models]

The old kit was a heller reboxed by Airfix.. This is a complete new tooling so they have their own Tempest in their collection :)

[@greenhilldesign]

Nice build video. I've been looking to get this as built the Airfix typhoon before, That was still to date my most enjoyable build. This goes together the same way by the looks of it. Like others have said here, I prefer to mask and spray the stripes after trying decals. If you like this youll love the 1:48 Sea Fury. Btw ive just subscribed, Happy modelling, I may just get back to my stash now

[@lewispowell1681]

When i use tape i soak it off with a wet sponge to avoid stripping, its a bit of a faff but ive had every type of tape strip paint before

[@robertgarner11]

Another brilliant build. Which were the three main colours did you use? Eg the two camouflage colours on top and the grey underneath? The Airfix site suggests many colours to buy for this model. Thanks!

[@MOS6510Models]

Oh.. i cant remeber now.. it was the scheme with the invasion stripes

[@johnnoble01]

You use the expensive Tamiya tape to hold parts together and throw the cheap stuff in the bin? You need to try some of the masking putty out for you camo schemes mate.

[@MOS6510Models]

To be fair its easier to use the tamyia tape from the dispenser and one handed.. also the masking tape must of been a bad one as ive used a different one from the pack of 5 and its worked great..

[@johnnoble01]

@@MOS6510Models In all the years ive modeled i haven't ever used tape or any sort of pegs or clamps. I just go round the fuz with thin cement. I've never had a problem.

[@johnnoble01]

I was also thinking that the wheels looked a little skinny? And the canopy looks a little squashed? Hope I'm wrong because i was planning on getting this.

[@VFCproductions]

Cracking job! I have one to make when time allows (it won't sit around long) but I'm not a fan of perfect invasion stripes. I like them to look a little bit wobbly and off white, like they'd just been applied with a surplus mop...

[@stuartwren5526]

Apparently ground staff had very little notice to apply invasion stripes and they were initially done with anything that came to hand - brooms, mops etc..

[@MOS6510Models]

I just wanted to use the decals.. i thought they went down quite well

[@SamsVlogstrainsmore]

Very cool video Mos. Great bit of kit! I enjoyed watching.

[@bullseyecooper1739]

Great build mate, I’m building it too! I made the Revell 1:32 one. Love a tempest! just checking but aren’t the sky and yellow band’s supposed to go on first, Before the invasion stripes?

[@MOS6510Models]

I’m not a fan of layering decals under the stripes.. You can easily trim them to size so they don’t need to be layered.. like all things in instruction.. they are a guide

[@BennyCFD]

Freehand camo is always more realistic and easier than masking.............................But nice build.

[@MOS6510Models]

Yeah true.. buts its 172 so wasnt too bothered matey

[@supershaz42]

Looks like a great little kit. Those D-Day stripes decals did not look fun to apply, but look brilliant

[@MOS6510Models]

It was, they went down well too.. no real issues

[@christopherebeyrol4553]

Well I do not fully agree, the fuselage green stripe drove me crazy and the yellow stripes that you need to apply before the b&w ones just never fit, whatever the way, even upside down. Strange design, and the outcome is quite poor. I've removed them and I'll paint them now and will see later on for the big stripes. Maybe I was wrong somewhere...

[@Adam_Boots]

When using masking tape I'd recommend a light coat of the base colour first before the second colour. Any paint bleed will blend in and it will seal the edge of the tapento prevent any more bleeding. You should also consider trying AK camoflage elastic masking pufty. It should work much better than tape.

[@MOS6510Models]

Sadly i wont buy AK products because they have very little morals.. but I have heard Ammo by Mig have something similar i might try out.. I do like freehand too
