Your skill level in getting the fuselage to fit so perfectly is EXCEPTIONAL!!

[@ugurkenel]

Many thanks, most the hard works didnt recorded to not bore you 😉👍

Not an easy model. I wish you luck on your build 🍻

I cant decide if i want to build mine wheels down or wheels up, unless i can figure out a solid solution to being able to do both. Fantastic build Ugur

[@ugurkenel]

Many thanks ! I also built the P-8 model of the same company and finished it with the landing gear up, as you said. I made this model (almost the same fuselage) with the landing gear extended. Now I can compare both. I think I like it better with the landing gear down.

[@willthorson4543]

Great job. When i lived in the state of Washington, one of my model meerings was at the Boeing Museum Of Flight just south of Seattle. Right next to the museum was the final.spot for this type of aircraft and the PO8 Poseiden. One day they had a bunch and it was fun figuring out where they were going. One day i saw aircraft going to India, Turkey, Britian, Saudi Arabia, Australia and Japan. Just a cool thing to see with all those brand new planes

[@ugurkenel]

Many thanks! It must be very nice. I would like to be there and see it live.

[@18yea]

Magnificent workmanship

[@ugurkenel]

Thanks a lot.😉👍

[@LucColin]

Fantastic build - and an inspiration to start my kit when it finally arrives! Lots of useful tips - I will already put some super glue aside already as the BPK plastic is not the easiest to work with ... Congratulations on a super model.

[@ugurkenel]

Many thanks!! @LucColin I strongly recommend you that make a lot of dryfit before gluing fuselage and wings as i did. Need trimming, cutting, sanding… But in the end, you achieve the best possible harmony of parts. Good luck on your build, and ask me whenever you need help via my other social accounts.

[@rickwill5650]

Beautiful video and superb building as usual! Congratulations !!

[@ugurkenel]

Many thanks !!

[@HammerheadModelMaking]

Excellent work! Do you find that with all of the sanding of the fuselage and wings, do you get sanding dust on the inside? If so how do you deal with that?

[@ugurkenel]

Many thanks! If you watch again, you will see a blue microfiber cloth near model always. I keep it always wet. Also i always sanding my models wet. I always soak the sandpaper in water and wet it, then sand it, and clean it immediately with a wet cloth. There is absolutely no dusting or it is minimal. This is my way 😉

[@TamaraWiens]

Very nice! I do have a feeling that the photo etched parts you glued under the pilots' seats were meant to be unfolded as the seat mounts.

[@ugurkenel]

Thanks a lot! It is cockpit seat rails, provides seat movement forward-back and to the side, to make pilots able stand up for exit. But all those details will never be seen anymore :)

[@johnmeyers5125]

U need to fined Tamiya extra thin cement or Mr cement or MEK if you can get a hold of that less sanding and rework .

[@ugurkenel]

Did you try to build this model before? I have all these cements, but these cements are specially design for Tamiya models, i mean almost perfect fitting, quality plastic so no need much sanding.

[@johnmeyers5125]

@@ugurkenel plastic is plastic my man Tamiya has the best molds and they are the ones to follow in manufacturing. as you sand the panel lines go away so i stick with the thin cement group that are faster drying , and CA glue for epoxy parts.

[@ugurkenel]

Plastic is definitely not plastic, Tamiya's plastic is much different and adheres much more homogeneously with its own adhesive. I definitely understand what you mean. But you can never, ever glue such a body with Tamiya extra thin. Because I would never want to destroy the panel lines. By the way, the drying time of the CA glue I use is 15-20 seconds, and Tamiya adhesives become sandable after at least 4-5 hours. Thanks anyway.

[@TheModelGuy]

Yeah…no. This kit needs a lot of work to get aligned and cleaned up. Glue is not the issue.

[@ugurkenel]

@TheModelGuy Also there is no male-female joint sections on fuselage, so if i use weak cements, cracking of fuselage during next steps is most possible.

[@user-je5do6jn2f]

It'd be cool if the E-7 had the anti-AA/SAM laser point defense system in development by Lockheed Martin mounted on them.

[@ugurkenel]

Yes indeed👍

Thanks! No. It is too big for that. Maximum 48 scale jets can fit in that shelves.

[@gazzasb1]

Great build, can i ask what was the pencil you were using for panel lines?

[@ugurkenel]

Thanks a lot! @gazzasb1 The pencil I use is a normal 0.5 lead pencil. It doesn't have any features. I even use my daughter's school pen most of the time🙃. When I don't want to apply a wash and darken the color of the model, I always draw the panel lines with a pencil.

[@stregasplasticcartel812]

Beautiful build as always. Can I ask. What glue do you use for cementing the fuselage halves please?

[@ugurkenel]

Many thanks. I always use (i mean %90 percent ) CA glue, name is Pattex ( red one ). It dries in 10-15 second and very strong. Especially for these kind fuselage parts, it is only one option to use.

[@cc_model]

[@ugurkenel]

Many thanks! On this model, only drawing with pencil, no wash.

[@blumax68]

Which grey did you used?? Why didn't you used a normal oil wash? Awesome job!

[@ugurkenel]

I used Vallejo Model air 50/50 mix of “USAAF Light Gray”and “USAF Light Gray”. Names almost same but color are different. I never use oil wash, i mostly use acrylic wash diluted with water. On this model: these TuAF planes are new and colors are super clean. If i apply anykind of wash, most probably, color of fuselage will be darken 1 or 2 degree.

[@estebanb.6190]

Hi ! Amazing work ! thank you very much ! 😊 16:09 do you really just gently sand on decals or have you applicated a varnish before to not damage the decals ? if I do this on my models i just ruin them !😂 how did you do ?

[@ugurkenel]

Many thanks! Before and after decal, sanding required or not, i always apply good coat of gloss varnish to protech them. On this model, i have sanded surface to make more smooth, because this model was shiny.

[@ugurkenel]

I missed second part of question.🙂 How i did. 2-3 layer of gloss coat. Tamiya X-22 is good for it. at least 24 hour drying time. Then i use sponge sandpaper, Tamiya also has some sponge sandpaper. I damp it and sand surface. Just to make smooth surface, not like sanding putty.

[@estebanb.6190]

thanks for your answers ! it's very clear ! 😊
