It's nice work. What a excellent detailed cockpit. It doesn't looks like a model !!

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

Thanks a lot! Thats what Im going for

[@wildolan]

Great video. Very clear and makes the detailing and weathering seem achievable especially for a recently born again modeller. Cheers for this

Nice! I like the chipping. It's just the right amount and on the right spots. Well done!

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

Thanks!

[@ente1440]

Amazing. Congratulations from Spain.

Thanks a bunch! Model is finished, I just need to make the video

[@Jenn-0326]

Scale Model Assassin oh ok

[@gary6300]

Hi buddy only just came across this video your cockpit looks awesome I like the way you explain what you are doing plus the products you are using as it helps me big time so thank you very much for sharing 😀. Cheers Gary from the UK 🇬🇧

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

Thanks Gary and glad you find this helpful, that's my goal! 👍👍

[@natalebabbo-gunplaanddioramas]

Awesome job! Very inspirational for my next project! Thanks!

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

Thanks!

[@w3dnesd4y57]

That's a nice cockpit!

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

Thanks!

[@markbaigent8373]

Wow..... just wow!

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

Thanks!

[@hammmodjabeer7278]

Amazing

[@randallcromer66]

You just proved without any doubt that the devil is in the details. My hat's off to you for having the most incredible amount of patience and a steady hand. There people who do modeling and there's people like you who not only go above and beyond what others are doing to take this hobby to a level that's rarely seen or done by most. You sir, are a true artist. ✊😉👍

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

Thank you! Very nicely spoken

[@bobdyer422]

Beautiful job on the pit. All the extra effort paid off, Eduard can be a bit of a head scratcher, and a pain when it comes to their aftermarket parts {let alone kits} so I think you did a great job getting this altogether. So for what you've done so far, the rest of the G6 should look pretty good. Congrats on the pit

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

Thanks 👍

[@RubyMarkLindMilly]

Looks fantastic I've got the cockpit engine and radio set plus photo etch to shoe horn into mine when I get round to building it (g 10 erla) from eduard

[@kuri369kuri]

Holy shit! That was great! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

Thank you!

[@Im_MarkS]

Thx for sharing, I guess your never to old to learn something new, picked up some small tips as to brush paint with Tamiya, thx for that. If you have any tips on seatbelts plz let me know, most PE seatbelts even the aftermarket ones aren’t that realistic but you seem to nail that one too. I’ve been experimenting with thin strips of medical tape to create a fabric look and feel combined with cutting up PÉ seatbelt buckles but maybe there is a better way. 2 thumbs up and looking forward to part 2

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

Thanks, I like the HGW fabric seatbelts the most...kinda wish I would have used them here. Theyre harder than threading a needle though so be warned. Ive also used the tape method.

[@dimag_8773]

Fantastico

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

👍

[@charlesdavis9937]

I have the same model BF-109, it is 1/32 of the one Erich Hartmann flew in winter camouflage

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

Nice! 👍

[@RA-dd5mg]

Thought you were getting a bit too carried away with the chipping but the finished cockpit looks awesome nice work I’d like to see the finished model yes we do need to see another G6

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

Thats always a concern and definitely on my mind. I go a little overboard and then dull it down. p.s. Ive also wondered the same....does the internet need another 109 lol

[@matthewnightingale4585]

That looks good. You might like to try Citadel base colours for your yellows and blues because they have much stronger pigments. May save you having to undercoat the cables etc. Enjoyed the video.

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

Good point. Ive always thought they make a good line of paints although Ive never tested them

[@matthewnightingale4585]

@@ScaleModelAssassin Go for the paints described as 'Base' because they have the most saturated colours.

[@vasili1207]

You're work is cool mate have a f4 to paint soon so I was getting confused on the colors and such looks good to me 👍. I found using hairspray I can reactive it at any point, i have an experiment going on ATM a scratch built building thing. It's in 3 tone camo .... I first waited a day and I could chip it , then waited for it to be a week old and still can chip it then at a month old I could still chip it ... I am now waiting for month 3 i have two weeks left if it chips then, I will just assume it's just chipable until cleared.... I have never used chipping fluid maybe it's different that way

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

Thanks! I have never used hairspray but Ive seen it can get good results too. Good to hear that it remains chippable for so long. What brand of paint are you using?

[@SmallSoldier]

I’m still able to do some chipping on the T-34/122 after nearly a year using the Mig chipping solution. Mind you I have to work it pretty hard.

[@moonnee3608]

really nice detail, looks fantastic. The only thing i didnt like was you make my cockpits look childish

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

Thanks! I got a bit of a laugh here lol

[@elizabethwatson71]

What was the half circle form you used? P.S. I went to my kitchen/bath outfitter and they gave me discontinued samples of marble and quartz and silastone. If you need a heavier piece of stone to bang on, try a tombstone supplier for any thing that has been screwed up

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

Its a rolling tool from a company called "the small shop". No affiliation, I just bought their stuff and its worked well. Nice strategy for the tile suppliers...Ill try that

[@firefox3187]

Get the Infiniti models cutting mats, great for cutting tape and you flip them for a nice PE cutting Matt.

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

I'll check those mats out

[@gonzo4218]

An unused or scrapped CD/DVD is the perfect cutting mat for PE! The 'hologram' colors actually makes seeing where to cut easier.

[@MrMarcocamp]

Wondering to what kind of criticism I can add... simply fantastic and great the simple way you explain things that are for most of us difficult. So, in the end, you allow around 15 minutes for the chipping fluid to dry then you apply the second coat of base color. Another 15/20 minutes to dry and you can finally start the chipping process. Am I correct?

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

Thanks! Yes thats what seems to work best for me. I let everything dry to the touch before moving to the next step

[@KatyandMe]

Wow...how's your vision, or do you work under a magnifying glass? Nice detailing work, especially the chipping. Such realism!

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

Thank you! No magnifying glass for me...yet

[@stizardlizard6470]

I use old Starbucks cards to cut PE it saves your blades and is rigid enough to get a clean cut

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

oh interesting, I hadnt heard that technique before.

[@JimPat66]

Nice video but whatever caffeine you’re drinking? Go easy on it when using small parts. Lol I learned (and keep learning) that the hard way.

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

lol need to lay off the coffee

[@LagoAZ]

Who are the 8 jerks that gave this a thumbsdown?

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

Probably a bunch of losers

[@abrahamzuniga606]

how difficult it is to put the PE, and more when they are in 1/72, I made some German pedals, wow! they made me sweat!

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

It just takes practice. 1/72 is tough because its so small and yes those pedals werent easy

[@johnfowler9424]

Bruh my bronco with a broke axel is crying lol

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

lol 👍👍

[@PawPads2]

This is so racist... why can't us black people get into this... not fair.

[@ScaleModelAssassin]

I sense sarcasm? I hope all races are into this hobby!!!!
