Really awesome paint job. I am staying away from painting because the paintbrush stuff feels to complicated. Good to see that it is possible to get good results without it.

@@martinschissler9208 the Tamiya weathering master kit is amazing. Give it a try.👍😊

Nice work again and thanks as always for sharing. I miss your narration in the last videos, but I’m happy to get whatever you’re willing to share. This kit looks pretty large. Kind of wish there was something in between this one and the small one.

@@justindavisphotography Thanks Justin! I admit I’m getting a little lazy these days.😅 Doing the VO requires quite a bit more work. May try it again someday. This kit is actually a pretty good size. The fuselage is relatively small. Just that wingspan is kinda crazy.. imagine taking the width of an airliner just to carry a max load of less than 10 people.😂

[@justindavisphotography]

@@Plasticstarwars i can certainly relate to the feeling lazy! 😉I figured the extra work for the VO was probably a factor too. But like I said, always enjoy your work and what you share. So please do whatever works for you. Thanks for the info on the kit. It looks amazing. One more to add to my huge backlog?

great method to tint the clear parts!

[@Plasticstarwars]

@@scifimodelsandstuff3211 thanks my friend! It’s unconventional… but it kinda works.😂

[@Clarkey121]

Great vid! I’ve just picked one of these up myself to build but didn’t even consider the paint! I’ll have to look into getting some

[@Plasticstarwars]

@@Clarkey121 Have fun! Model kits always look better painted.👌😊

If this weren't so pricey, it'd be perfect for a crashed /wreckage diorama - with sand dunes covering part of the craft and some of it's wings sticking out of the sand at odd angles...

[@Plasticstarwars]

@@jasoncaldwell5627 Definitely. Although you can still make one with the cheaper smaller one.👌😊

[@jasoncaldwell5627]

@@Plasticstarwars Good point. A smaller version might be able to have the body cast, then broken up as wreckage.

[@jasoncaldwell5627]

Dude. That's terrible. You should...uh...send it to me and tell everyone I made it. So it won't hurt your reputation, of course. I'm just looking out for you.

@@jasoncaldwell5627 😂There’s no rep to protect.👌
