I lost my small handful of semi-decent model builds from my adult life in basement flood about 10 years ago and haven't gone back to the hobby yet... But your videos are starting to give me the itch again! (In a perfect storm of bad luck, I had a bunch of stuff, including my few completed builds, just laying on the basement floor while I was doing a bunch of painting / flooring work on the main floor.... and boom... big thunderstorm... drain backup... 16 inches of water in the basement) I've been binge watching your videos and I'm loving them. I will be 'that guy' who isn't a huge fan of the heavy accents on all the panel lines... just visually strikes me as a bunch of two inch gaps between all the panels if brought up to scale... but that is an age-old modeling argument that will never reach consensus... Although I do use similar shading methods on control surfaces, I like the effect there, as more prominent clearances exist on the aircraft. But personal preferences aside, this is gorgeous work. Just watching you attach all the fiddly bits started making my fingers feel arthritic! One of those unsung joys of modeling! heh

@@MaxAfterburner I noticed the Tamiya pre-mixed panel line wash is something that I hadn't seen before and that seems to work well. If you don't mind me asking, as I can't remember which video I saw it in.... but what type of airbrush do you use? I have an ancient siphon feed Paasche that I probably bought 25ish years ago still stashed away somewhere... but that thing was always a bit of a pain in the ass. Do you have a hobby/airbrush specific compressor as well? any recommendations there? Last kits I built I used the trusty and crusty old Craftsman pancake compressor... but would like something I could use in the house without waking up the wife and kids. Went poking around my storage room just now and still have a few kits in waiting. Might get back into the swing with an old Monogram raised panel line F-16 that probably came from molds created in the 1970s. That should get me a good amount of putty and sanding practice. :)

Fantastic video, loads of very interesting information regarding the jet and some great techniques especially the cockpit instruments. I have ordered the Tamiya panel liner. Thank you for posting the video, it is very very helpful! I found the soundtracks used very pleasant too.

Ive noticed with a lot of the hobbyboss kits with the wing fold as well the the trumpeter kits when you want to do the kits with the wing s in flight ready as in unfolded it tends to take a lot of extra work to get them to fit right. great job this build.
@MaxAfterburner2 жыл бұрын
Hi Joseph, thanks! I'm guessing they're expecting most builders to fold the wings. 🤔
@Joe86482 жыл бұрын
@@MaxAfterburner well granted it does save some display shelf space especially with the 1/32 modern jet for example my 1/32 A-1J I left the wings folded on it it's still a very large plane for a prop plane.

Just for future knowledge...no Naval aircraft ejection seats were allowed to go with worn paint. The greatest enemy of an aircraft at sea (other than adversaries) was salt water corrosion, and the seats and cockpits were inspected daily and any worn areas were painted to cover them and keep them safe from any salt water effects. All bare, stainless components were lightly greased to aid in anti-corrosion treatments. Also, any worn or dirty parachute and seat belts were replaced to prevent deterioration and to keep the strength of the material. As an AME (Aviation Structural Mechanic, Environmental and Egress Equipment) for 3 1/2 years with VF-102, I dailyed numerous aircraft both on board ship and back at NAS Oceana, VA. No aircraft was allowed to launch until it was done, so there were many late nights in the hangar on shore waiting for other shops to finish so we could do our inspections, and we were the last to daily an aircraft on board before launch. If any work was done in the cockpit after our inspection, we had to re-do our inspection to insure the bird was safe for launch. I've watched many build videos and too often builders would add wear and grime to the seats. I hope this will help in future builds and for any other builders who have watched. The build overall was excellent with this minor error.

Thank you for your service Jim. I agree with you 100%. When a scale modeler does this it is to highlight raised areas of detail that would be lost to the naked eye. Gives it a "reflection" that sunlight would do on the actual aircraft if it were a full scale bird. Most modelers will dry brush these details yet I really like the technique this modeler did. It's merely to make the details pop out to a viewers eye and not so much to represent worn paint.

Hi VooDoo Nights, thanks again! Hobby Boss in particular makes a series of A-6's with the A-6E being the latest release, I believe. You shouldn't have any trouble finding it. But you will have trouble with that forward section of the model!

I spent a number of years with Marine A-6E squadrons VMA (AW) 332 (Moonlighters) and VMA (AW) 224 Bengals as well as EA-6B squadron VMAQ-2. Love these birds. Nothing we have had since can bomb like an Intruder. 332's motto was "Let us Intrude on your behalf".

Just to add a bit to this, the turret under the nose is called a DRS, or Detection and Ranging Set. When the aircraft is sitting on the deck, unless they were doing maintenance on the system, the turret would have been rolled backward into stow to protect the three lenses on it. So technically, you should only see the lenses when the aircraft is in flight, or as stated, when maintenance is being done, and they are testing the system. Aside from that, this is a spectacular build, and looks just like the A-6E's that I always saw on the various carriers I was attached to!! Great job!
