I have one of those kits. I may get to it before the reaper finds me. I like your technique of using tape.

[@AlexModeling]

great work so far! forward to see second part!

[@BritishTeaDrinker]

Fantastic ,liking the timelapse too,well done

[@allgood6760]

Awesome 👍✈️

[@TheInnerNerd]

Thank you and thanks for watching :)

[@chancerNW]

That's a very good a main structure build on the Lightening. I had gap issues at the front when I made the kit as well. Enjoyed the vid.

[@mattfgln]

ChancerNW I had them too, but mine were twice the size. It was a nightmare

[@monash1915]

Another way to attach small parts (rather than using tape) is to use a toothpick with a blob of blutack on the end. Good work!

[@rogersgjuk2]

lovely video timing and descriptions.. enjoyed it.. thank you

[@Reactordrone]

The big ejector pin protrusions inside the fuselage might have caused the forward fuselage gap when you put the two halves together. I had an F.2A kit that was perfectly moulded and an F.6 kit that had the same prominent elector marks that yours had. The F.2A went together perfectly at the front so I sanded off the ejector bumps on the F.6 kit and that then went together fine. Nice kits but the moulding quality can be a bit variable.

[@rfhero71]

Did everyone see what he did when he was gluing the fuselage together? He gave us the Finger! Like "haha, I'm building this and you're not!" :p

[@dankuettel5063]

The Trumpeter kit has the exact same issue when fitting the fuselage halves together

[@DaCostaStudio]

Very nice :)

[@user-dm1ye1rz5f]

Very. Good

7:12 What blade type do you use to make those dots?

[@markrayton6385]

Another great tutorial, thanks for sharing. Can i just ask what colour grey did you paint the cockpit tub. Cheers, Mark, UK

[@theinnernerd2603]

Thanks Mark, I used matte Black #33 to base it and then Medium Sea Grey #165 to colour coat, spraying from the top direction only to give false shadows

[@djcrazythomashulks]

what tool do you use to add extra rivets?

[@johnjones-ch5sh]

the lightnings i saw close up [many moons ago] had black cockpits?

I don`t think you know what that word means :p

[@officerhughdowning1711]

@@afrog2666 why do you think that?

[@smoerrebloed8644]

Hey. I really need to know, what "saw" you use for the panel lines. Thanks. Bruno, Germany.

[@TheInnerNerd]

SmoeLP Hello. I use a JLC razor saw blade. You can find them on ebay

[@smoerrebloed8644]

Thaaank you.

[@BIGM-gg9ln]

almost bought this at colpar hobbies in aurara,co.but $29.99 is ridiculas!

[@reconmodelsvaughn469]

Well I tried to like the video but my like button is not working it says that I like the video but it not adding the next number does anyone know how to fix it

[@erichhartmann1]

Bradley Vaughn It could possibly be that you disconnected from your wifi while watching the end of the video with it not loading your like as your not connected.

[@speckgens]

Fine subject and model. Not too fond of Airfix’s softish plastic though.

[@TheInnerNerd]

Thank you.I agree, I think Airfix aren't quite there with their quality of kit compared to some of the others, but I guess the target audiences may not be the same. Amyway, thanks for watching :)

[@speckgens]

@@TheInnerNerd Currently building their Sea Fury. Decent fit, good decals but again squibly plastic. Same goes for the Meteor I build a while ago. On the positive side their kits are relatively cheap and have some interesting subjects often not covered by other manufacturers (and if so then much more expensive).

[@alexbenzin1932]

seatbelts must be like belts, i think.

[@TheInnerNerd]

I do a better job now, solder wire was the best I could do on this build, my next video includes a better solution to get seat belt detailing without using PE parts

[@ApplyWithCaution]

. . . admired your skill, shame you were let down by the poor standard of the kit

[@outlawflyer7868]

The music is very annoying!!! A wax pen can be used to attach smaller parts.

[@TheInnerNerd]

There is a mute button on all devices which will help you out.

[@reaper378]

I’m sure it’s a great video but that music ... No thanks.

[@TheInnerNerd]

There is a mute button at the lower left of the window. It looks like this 🔇. If you use it then it will be the great video you're sure it is. Plus you have full control of your own music choice!

[@reaper378]

The Inner Nerd no thanks. Just watched another guy build the same model with a great commentary and no daft music. Learn to accept criticism.

[@TheInnerNerd]

@@reaper378No worries, thanks for the view anyway it helps my channel grow.

[@reaper378]

The Inner Nerd you’re welcome

[@TheInnerNerd]

@@reaper378 If you watch some of my latest videos I narrate and have different music to this. So I have always accepted criticism. Getting music to make a KZbin video isn't that simple
