Beautiful build, I'm not sure many appreciate just how small this model is in 1/72. Your paint work is exceptional as well. Thanks for the video!

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate, maybe I should include pictures with familiar objects in the future :)

[@brianc1701]

@@MMScaleModels To be fair, your hands show the size quite well.

[@tex5620]

I love how detailed your videos are. most just say i did this but you actually go in and explain everything. Really helps us noobs to understand the mind of someone with more experience. Keep up the good work.

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate, great to hear!

[@jackfrost9164]

I would love to see a display base built.

[@MMScaleModels]

I already have some Ideas :)

[@robbo1068]

Super job, Metodi. Amazing how you manage so many details from such a small scale model, excellent paint work and weathering details to such a perfect degree. Very enjoyable watch and plenty of tips provided both visually and in the commentary. Will look forward to see what you have for us in the future.

[@danwilliams1686]

You have such mad airbrush skills! Especially in this scale, much respect. I wish I could duplicate but I have nerve damage in my hands. But I will use this video and your weathering information to build the much easier to handle 1/32 ICM ah-1. Thank you.

Nice job on such a small kit in 1.72 scale well do like to see a bell Huey to go with this one 👍✌️

Awesome video! I'm very impressed with the cockpit details! I'll try to the same tricks on my AH-1G when i build it!

Thanks mate, appreciated!

[@lesthiele4921]

Sir, that was absolutely outstanding, I think you weathered it as it would have been all those years ago, thanks for sharing, yes a base would be nice to see, greetings from Australia.

[@jameswilliam20001]

That's funny, I watch your build video all the time ever this Cobra build & I love helicopters special those in 1/35 scale, but that doesn't mean not 1/72 or 1/32...I leaning lots of new ideas from your show, keep up those good work & don't stop 👍😉😀 J.W.

[@valtolhurst]

Amazing work!

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate!

[@Sharkaat84]

Excellent work on your side! I must say I'm slightly disappointed with the tooling quality which is merely six years old if I'm not mistaken? But again, you made wonders with it. Kudos!

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate, i recently built their yak-23 which is older kit. This one is much much better. Probably on par with if not better than let's say italeri.

[@mpoyart]

Great modelling and vídeo.

[@MMScaleModels]

Many thanks!

[@basfinnis]

Very nice 😉

[@PerisModels]

Amazing work What airbrush are you using?

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate, I use Fengda BD-180 0.2 airbrush. Quite good value for money IMO

[@JedenSiedemDwa]

Excellent done. I admire Your masking skills. ;)

[@MMScaleModels]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@foreverplastickits138]

*So nice, very difficult to see that it's 1/72 scale! 👏👏*

[@MMScaleModels]

Thank you very much!

[@BennyCFD]

Very nice build........But 90% of the cockpit detail will never be seen. Kind of like painting the inside of a wall.

[@MMScaleModels]

That sums up scale modeling there 😄

very nice build. as always very inforamtive and gr8 motivation. so pity with no diorama, even sth simply but maybe next time :P thanks for sharing. oh, btw. whats next? maybe some transport airplane? :P all the best.

Thanks mate, next will be some tutorials :)

Hä the Molds are exactly the same as at Revell

[@MMScaleModels]

maybe they share :)

[@rolandkovacs9985]

Sensational job, I really like your videos and wanted to say thank you because I learn a lot! One question which came to my mind: what kind of glue did you used for the painted parts (for example during the assembly of the cockpit)? I tried many techniques, many kind of glues but still looking for the perfect solution, not to mess up the paintjob but also hold together the parts.

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate, here I used superglue... just regular liquid one. The quantity is the important bit.

[@milannes1574]

Problém s ocasem sem řešil tak, že jednu polovinu jsem vlepil přímo na půlku trupu, abych trefil rovinu a pak po slepení půlek, přidla i druhou ... jako není to špatný model, určitě řádově lepší než AZ ... akorát na finiš ještě čekám, tmelení mne nějak zmohlo :-d

[@MMScaleModels]

I like your solution, will try to remember that next time I come to assemble such joint :)
