Building Airfix Spitfire Mk1a - Model Aircraft

[@AlexModeling]

modeling and watch a timelapse video from you after such a bad week is a very calm experience!

[@quickkits]

Thanks Alex :) sorry to hear you've had a bad week

[@wakemanedwards3450]

Love the Quick build style...however...that was WAY too fast in my opinion. Please slow them down a bit. Thanks

[@capt.skipper8469]

You have inspired me for my channel you are going to be having credit for inspiration in my next video your sill the best scale modeller on KZbin! As you always will be!

[@richsmith8035]

Nothing like an English accent to class things up!! I hear quite a few different accents around this area, and I love it. My neighbors were Ukrainian, my Doctor is English but lived in South Africa for a long time. I mentioned my Centurion project, and he actually knew what I was talking about! Bless that compulsory service, they should have it here! Love Airfix kits, brings back memories. I miss walking into a well stocked hobby shop. We only have one really good one here. Would love to visit England before I kick the bucket.

[@dandanita1692]

damn Nazi neighbors, unlucky

[@quickkits]

As usual please feel free to comment with any constructive criticism, useful tips or suggestions for model builds! Don't forget to give a like if you enjoyed. Thanks, Owen

[@quickkits]

If you use a wide brush and thin your paint down to the consistency of milk, and do multiple thin coats you should get much better coverage and less brush strokes

[@Ciarankdy]

my spitfire is so shit in comparison to yours

[@daniele86388]

Great work on this spitfire with hand brush O.o.. continue so!

[@rurushu8094]

+Quick Kits Hi Owen! Have you built dioramas before? If you have, could you give some advice? Thanks and keep up the good work! :)

[@flamingskull2993]

Quick Kits I didn't think the music went well with this video The B5N2 KATE got a Japanese sounding song and the BF110 got a depressing song But still, like always great work!

[@davedareable]

I have been a model maker for over 50 years, starting when I was just 6 yrs old. This demo is very good and will hopefully inspire others to attempt a similar construction. I enjoyed the different painting techniques you use here, keep up the great work and good luck to anyone else attempting to achieve this realistic level of modelling....best regards, David.

[@quickkits]

Thank you David!

[@ianhayes473]

to make scratch marks look better you should start by painting the model in silver then paint over that with all the normal colours then when you finished get some sand paper and gently use it to scratch away the top layer of paint just enough so that the silver shows in my opinion it just adds that more realistic look the scratch marks because they are actually scratches not just randomly placed silver lines

[@christophercooper2907]

Ian Hayes totally agree, I think this looks much better. I use Maskol and then rub it off.

[@TheWaggishAmerican]

This technique looks really good on heavily weathered Japanese aircraft

[@Wandering_Mochi]

Oh waggish is here

[@petermathieson5692]

Very impressive finish: never seen such a result achieved with a brush rather than an airbrush. What skill! Like your weathering technique: will try that myself.

[@Billbothebear14]

I have never seen a build film like this before.. I so enjoyed it I watched it 3 times.! Lovely build and soooo much more clever than anything I would have thought of when I was making these 50 years ago. Well done indeed. WF

[@quickkits]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it so much!! :)

[@davidtate2009]

If I hadn't seen it I would not have believed you could do such a good paint job with a brush. Looks great Owen. I have enjoyed watching your videos, and they have helped me with my builds. Thanks

[@jamesmather2839]

1. It all goes to show you can still make a nice model with brush painting. A great encouragement to new modellers I hope. 2. Like the gun ports, some smoke weathering around the cartridge ejection chutes under the wings.

[@telescopereplicator]

Nice build. Not bad for such a small kit. Well done, Owen.At then of the video you said comments are welcome. Please allow me to to give you some help. And remember, these are constructive comments !! Not negative ones, in any sort or way !!* First, wash the sprues in tepid water with washing up liquid. This will help the paint to stick better.* Interior color: use Cockpit Green from Model Masters (Testors). It is a brighter, more accurate color.* Pilot seat: use a brighter, more reddish color brown. This part was made of Bakelite.* Paint the first layer with a thinned down paint. It will look transparent and messy. But one or two more layers with thicker paint will make it look perfect and not so messy !* The wheel wells were usually cockpit green, bare aluminium or duck egg green (underside color. Please refer to pictures for more info.* Revell provides more accurate colors !! Use 59 (Duck Egg Green, 68 (Dark Green) and 82 (Dark Earth). For a model of this size, you may want to add a drop of pale yellow (white 05 + Yellow 12) to lighten up the green and brown, especially since a clear coat may darken these colors. (Humbrol 29 and 30 really are too far off from the correct colors, please avoid them when painting a Spitfire.)* Use a flat, wide brush (1/2 inch) when painting large surfaces. * Airfix (and you ) did NOT add a crow bar on the small hatch ! This is correct. And NEVER paint them red !! They were not red until AFTER the war, in 1948. The usual color was cockpit green, sometimes black or bare metal. Crow bars can be seen from Mark V and on.* Propellor: semi gloss black (a VERY dark grey would be even better).* The Mark I had an antenna wire, leading to the vertical stabilizer. From the Mk.II on, they used a high frequency radio so the wire disappeared. Sometimes, wires can be seen on the left and right sides. These are IFF wires (Identification Friend or Foe) and can be seen during certain missions. See history books/websites for more info.* Be VERY careful with weathering, chipping and dark panel lines on a model as small as this one. It will look too much, too easily. Use it sparingly and moderately.* Revell 06 Tar Black is an ideal color for rubber tires.* The exhausts are very dark grey/black and dark brown. See pictures of the real airplane.* Add small details such as the Port and Starboard light (red and blueish green), but I think you did that, on this model ?

[@daviddean5392]

Enjoyed the build. I worked for Lesney Matchbox From 1979 till they closed the toolroom in Peterborough. Guess what my last Die was, Two new Fuselarge Dies. getting laid off with everyone else and work being scarce started the ball rolling on my move to the states.

[@MattBo1993]

Holy smokes! You're the best hand painter i've ever seen

[@joshcarter6846]

Well done! I'm a young modeller and I have learnt many cool tips from this vid.Thanks!!

[@anothermaxidad]

I think you have done a brilliant job on this kit. You get a great paint finish using brushes, as good as an airbrush (and less cleaning up afterwards!)

[@quickkits]

Thank you very much!! :D

[@flugjung]

That s a lovely job. You are a very good brush painter and the final result really stands out.

[@AnthonyBrown12324]

Your certainly showing all your modeling skills and knowledge ; in this video ; excellent . and reviewing the kit at the same time !

[@AstonM1965]

The iconic Spit looks fantastic, you've done a great job on her with the weathering effects.

[@quickkits]

Thank you!! And thanks for watching!

[@henrybronckaerts6467]

I tried some of your techniques on my new tool 1:48 airfix seafire and I worked really well

[@quickkits]

+Henry Bronckaerts That's great to hear! :D

[@raouldippie1944]

i did not know you could get such a beautiful finish with brushes. nice work!

[@Johnny-jz5yx]

Looks great! This is probably the best video on KZbin for Spitfire!

[@wjtr._03]

I still come back to this video quite a lot, done a good job

[@quickkits]

Thank you!

[@Fredfiscars]

This is awesome! Just awesome! I've been building models for over 4 years now but I've never tought that these simple methods work that good!!!

[@quickkits]

Thanks!! :) Some times simple is best ;)

[@Fredfiscars]

Yeah! Also I love your video style, keep doing them this way, mate.

[@quickkits]

EdgarsModelling out of interest do you prefer how I did the B17 with the "part by part" style, or the timelapse styles of the others?

[@Fredfiscars]

B-17 was interesting to watch, as a cartoon, but I think that time lapse videos are better, we can see how you do the stuff..

[@quickkits]

EdgarsModelling interesting! Ok thanks for that, good to get someone elses opinion!

[@rickroscoe4734]

Wonderful job. I love any models associated with the Battle of Britain, both RAF and Luftwaffe.

[@BlackAce-zr2ms]

Owen, I tried your way of how you built this Spitfire and it worked brilliantly. Taking inspiration from watering down your paints to trying out the way you made the wash which again worked better than I thought, granted I use Humbrol decalfix which works as well as Micro Set/Sol. As I get more confidence I'll give it a shot at cutting the canopy into 3 sections but as you mentioned it would have been nice if Airfix made it like that. Mind you being 1/72 it's hard in that aspect compared to a 1/48 kit. But I do thank you for the way you made this and when I do other Spit's in this format I'll add my own techniques and experience and see how it collaborates together. Have fun and keep building.

[@AndrewSkerritt]

These videos are excellent. The only thing I would suggest is a little less 'weathering' on the aircraft. During and after the Battle of Britain RAF ground crews took particular care of their aircraft and they were usually in tip-top condition and housed in hangers. The ground crew would wear special felt shoes if they had to walk on the wings and would clean and polish aircraft to keep them as fast as possible for the pilots. Later in the war and in overseas theatres where fighters were operating in forward bases with limited resources, some RAF planes might have gotten a bit rugged externally, but even then the ground crews usually had a firm sense of pride in their work and did the best they could. Cheers!

[@EwanM72]

Great finish from those tiny pots! a lot of inspiration for my next build now!

[@marsbar7099]

There great because theyre free!

[@fooficst]

Great job, and what makes it even better; not an airbrush in sight!. Well done!

[@AnthonyBrown12324]

I have just started this kit but in series 2 . With the 2 blade propeller Duxford first squadron markings as well

[@wirikuta14]

Excellent work, I´m following your videos. I´m beyond impressed that you brush paint.

[@johnworts2178]

Excellent video Owen - I am not an expert modeller - and your step by step guide is very helpful and given me confidence to try this myself. I get fed up with so called experts - saying that you need to use such and such a colour - or look at real photos of the plane. That just puts me off and does it really matter what shade of green or brown you use. I just want to buy a kit and do it to the best of my ability. Keep up the good work and kits.

[@quickkits]

Thank you! I feel the same, I'd rather have fun making the kit and end up with something that looks cool than get caught up in all the tiny details

[@pedroalbicastrense353]

I like how u build your kits , simply , don't want a perfect model for a compétion . For me it's the don't like the rivet builders . So continue like this way and have FUN 👍 congrat's from Portugal

Thank you very much, I'm pleased that you appreciate my simple approach to model building :)

Late to the party! I've just finished DW0O Spitfire, but yours looks so much better. Good job, thanks for showing!

[@chancerNW]

Very well done. An excellently presented and compiled video. A beautiful build of the Spitfire. I liked the detail touches such as the gun covers. also your internal wash and highlight technique was excellent. All round a great job.

[@quickkits]

Thank you! Quite proud of this Spitfire :)

[@AnthonyBrown12324]

I don't know if you just look young ; are you a teenager . I'm glad to see younger model makers . You could certainly teach the rest of us how to do videos .

great spit mate ! some really good detail on it !

[@tobycorbett3136]

Great work it looks like a real on just smaller. 10/10

[@antonrudenham3259]

Excellent job young 'un! One minor point is that the larger squadron letters on the fuselage go over the smaller black serial number, but hey!Great to see.

[@Jim-nd6tj]

Great modelling!! Amazing to watch

[@ploppysonofploppy6066]

No criticism of the build, this is top quality work. Deeply inspiring. Panel lines on a lot of otherwise excellent kits are too big in my view. Let's say they are 0.3mm wide, multiply by 72 and you have a gap of 20mm+. There are many Spitfires ( etc) on public view, - worth a look. Panel lines are actually overlapped alloy sheet in a lot of cases, maybe 3mm thick. This would be .04mm in 1/72. I don't think it's plausible to replicate this, and if you view the model from - say 200mm this represents 14 metres from the real thing, you can hardly see the lines at that distance. I'd be happier with a smooth finish.

[@FLJorG]

Beautiful Spitfire... beautiful work! Greetings.

[@AnthonyBrown12324]

Owen I liked all your videos I think I clicked them all ; well done!

[@JONNYDISASTER13]

[@quickkits]

Ooo I've read the new p51 kit is very good! Good luck with it! and thanks I'm glad the video has help you!!! :))

[@UncleTadhg]

Your brush painting skills are outstanding! I'm tempted to put away the airbrush and have a go at a few kits the old fashioned way and hope they turn out as well as yours do.

[@quickkits]

Thank you!!! I'm glad it's inspired you!

[@38dragoon38]

I just had a look at this same aircraft which Airfix produce in 1/24 scale. On this larger scale it shows that the propeller blades should have a yellow tip (Humbrol 24). I guess that, with these "starter" kits which include paints, they no longer add the non-included paint colours due to customers complaining about their absence.

[@colonalkuntstinke]

wow dude amazing ☺ not only r u a model plane builder but an artist too

[@quickkits]

+Hazza M thank you very much :D

[@louishemblen6635]

I personally have made two of these spitfires the main problem I had was getting the body pieces to stay together in the end I clamped it together which worked so if you plan to get this sand joints and hold it together or clamp otherwise the body may separate great vid 👍

[@quickkits]

[@andyw3152]

I have a 31 year old MK1a kit that I need to build. This is a 1:24 model, can you please advice what brushes, and glue I will need?

[@vinnievector]

Mk1a no twin radiator under wing oil cooler to port pencil shape earlier spitfires had outer wing ribs with spruce ribs. Under carriage raked back by 5% later this was rectified by adding forward 10% to prevent A\C from tipping over . Canvas ailerons were made all Aluminum construction due to fluttering at high speed dives . With the this Mk we also saw hydraulic under carriage retraction.

[@johnmole7109]

awesome. I like the weathering that you made.

[@m.a3711]

I wish I had the patience and skill to build model kits.

[@renecawley130]

Hey chear up mate you will get thar soon 😀

[@MichaelStephenLordReserei1987]

My brother says the same thing, because he has Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD)--heavy on the attention part as he can hardly stay focused for long periods of the time. I would also argue that it can teach you patience. That's the great thing about building scale models, you can take as much or as little time as you need. Skill is acquired over time, and KZbin videos such as these can be a massive help. I was achieving pro-level results in just a few weeks. I recently built a 1:677 scale model of U.S.S. Voyager from the TV show "Star Trek: Voyager" over a month, with LED lights--10 minutes to 1hr a day spent. I only started building models back in November of last year. I say give it a try. :D

[@Electra_1203]

Legendary Music that's quite interesting that you mention that, as I have ADHD but am an avid scale modeller and Atually enjoy sitting down for hours and modelling, it helps me escape from the stresses of life

[@lforloser7210]

I know im late to reply but you can *definitely* build a kit. I'm 12 years old (lol not scared to expose age) and im building an RAF Painted P51D. Currently adding gear.

[@ThisKevinButton]

M.A The best thing about building model kits is that you can move at your own pace. There's no right or wrong way of kit building unless you're unhappy with your own standards. I was hooked after my first kit build and I'm not a patient or detail orientated person at all, so don't ever sell yourself short before giving it a try.

[@vladostefanek]

have you tried airbrush? I used to brush paint all my models when I was younger but the colours now days are mixed in such way that it's almost impossible to get an even finish like I was used to. back then you couldn't tell the difference between sprayed and brushed models.

[@donlunceford6482]

Great job as per your usual. I'm always amazed by the quality of your hand painting skills. I like the improved quality of the new Airfix kits, but the panel lines on the Spitfire Mk1a looks way over 1/72 scale. I am building this kit at this time and plan on spraying it with Mr. Surfacer to try to make the panel lines less pronounced.

[@craigforsberg1972]

If you are novice modeller and you are really good at useing poly cement on clear parts without fogging up is it still avoid idea

[@henrybronckaerts6467]

Will you be at the airfix model world 2016 in Telford

[@quickkits]

+Henry Bronckaerts Is it in November? I might visit it but I'll be at uni by then, hopefully in York or Lincoln, so it might be too difficult for me to get to

[@HowardWatts1]

Fantastic build! Could you please tell me what filler you use?

[@quickkits]

Howard S.Watts Thank you! and it's "Ronseal smooth finish" :)

[@deebee150]

I've done about 5 planes now and I've finally become comfortable enough to play with some detailing such as washes and panel line accent. I brush paint acrylics and where my confusion lies is when to spray gloss or really just what you spray and at what point during your build you spray different coats. would be much appreciated. Great build! thanks for the video! PS any tips for doing my own camo I can't seem to freehand it nearly as well as I would like to. Thanks again.

[@LHA8925]

Hi Owen, why do you do a gloss varnish and then a Matt varnish? Why not just do a straight Matt varnish at the end? Thanks

[@quickkits]

A gloss coat stops decals from silvering and also makes it easier to remove washes because it's smooth (however I've since found that it doens't make too much difference, so I now just gloss coat for the decals)

[@LHA8925]

+Quick Kits thanks mate, much appreciated. Also, not sure if you can help but what are your thoughts on using humbrol maskoll for camo on planes? I've bought some recently to use for camo on a spitfire MK1 and its canopy but I've had mixed reviews on it.

[@wazeFPS]

very nicely detailed kit=) great job!

[@quickkits]

Thank you :)

[@mattdubbleu517]

Tip from a noob. Close the lid of the paint with both hands, one to push down, the other to hold it still. I have lost lots of paint from spillage by using only one hand. Hope this helps.

[@richiesutton3079]

Wow looks stunning

[@firdaus125]

You made me pick up model kit building. I am currently doing up an Academy King Tiger. Only difference from your style is I use a primer beforehand.

[@MickThomson70]

Hi, I like your timelapse builds and tips&tricks for scale modeling very much. I'm a beginner, but I think that panel lines and silver weathering are a bit exaggerated. I'm I right?

[@quickkits]

Yes I think I have done them a bit too extreme on this one
