Hi Peri, I finally got a chance to sit down and give your video its proper due. Once again you've done superior work with stunning results! I'm envious of your skills :-) Love the touch with the map up on the glare shield. I often saw that when I worked the F-16 flight line!

I recently found your channel and am impressed by your work. Hasegawa kits are the standards by which others have been judged for years. IMO, they are the ones who made other companies like Tamiya, Academy, Kinex and Hobby Boss step up their games. They are my go to kits, with Tamiya being second. Their overall attention to detail and as close to reality as you can get build quality, are tough to beat. Probably why I own a bunch of their late "90's to early 2000's un-built kits in my collection. Also, I prefer Eduard PE kits all the way, as well as Aires detail kits. Excellent choice in detail parts. I really like your weathering techniques, very nice. I've used Mig powder based and Tamiya weathering powders to acheive similar results. Now, I hope I don't come off sounding negative or a know it all type with these next comments, as I'm far from it. Here goes. There's only a few of things I would critique on this build, but this comes from my Crew Chief attention to detail mind set. * I would ease up on such dark panel lines with relatively clean/new paint. Typically those birds scheduled for paint would have darker panel lines by virtue of the build up of crud, grease and grime from numerous panel removals for maintenance between paint jobs. * With that load out, the jet is definitely heavy. At a minimum I would flat spot the bottoms of the tires to give it more of a "weight on wheels" appearance, vs a floating on tip toes look. The other trick is to heat them up a bit and press the tires slightly into a weighted look. There are a few aftermarket companies who cast them like this, but that just adds cost when the sanding + melting looks just as good. * I've noticed no safety pins/Remove before flight streamers. The jet's condition looks like it is just before start up, crew ingress. IIRC, the Zoom kit doesn't have them, but their RBF streamers are very nice and moldable. * I would definitely add safety pins/Remove before flight streamers to all weapons on a static jet, possibly even AIM-9 nose cone protectors, as it's very hard to replicate the true nose / seeker appearance with this scale. These safety pins/streamers are the last items removed at EOR (end of runway) by weapons crew members just before take off. Yellow AIM-9 nose cone protectors are typically removed before start up. That's really all I can see and your end result is very, very good. If I were judging a show, (done a few in my days) this one would definitely be in my top three candidates. Again, I hope my comments don't come off as negative or bad, I'm just giving some constructive criticism and trying to help. This is a really excellent example with what can be done with an older Hasegawa kit, in today's era of super detailed out of the box competition. Definitely keep up the excellent work.

Fantastic build. Again, just enough weathering to make it look real without making it look "worked up". Not a complaint but an observation, I hate that the clear decal film can still be seen even after varnishing. Still a 5 star build. Love your videos too.

Working on the same kit right now and I was surprised at the fitment issues. My last kit was the 1/32 Tamiya F-4 and there were no issues there. For this kit I'm finding that I'm having to to do more filling and sanding than I was expecting. Hopefully it will not affect the paint.

[@PerisModels]

I am surprised as I didn't have many issue You need to dry fit and try ans eliminate any issues before you glue the parts

hey! great job!!! 2 questions, in 4:30 only sanding? no putty? 17:54 paper with white spirit?

[@ATrainGames]

I have a question for you, Peri... I'm noticing (at least in this build) that when you remove parts from the trees you snip farther from the part, then go back and snip closer to the part, then file down any burrs. Is there a reason for this additional step in your process? Thanks!

[@PerisModels]

A-Train yes my friend Some times the plastic is very fragile and by leaving a small part with the first cut you reduce the risk for breaking the part

[@ATrainGames]

Great tip! Thanks. :)

You can get sprey cans for gloss and will coat but I have never used them. Always use Tamiya x-22 and x-86 with an airbrush

Do know of any spray cans I’m looking for and also a dull coat once the kit is finished I’m doing as much research as I can before I start and you are very helpful

[@kriscotant2213]

I'm just getting into using an air brush. When you are putting all of those layers of paint and thinners etc, do you have some type of ventilation or do you just wear a mask? I would be doing this in a room in my home and I just don't know what kind of fumes these sprayers can put out? Any info/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, the "Mud Eagle" was beautiful!!

​@@PerisModels Thanks for your reply. I have a little question. What is the purpose of pre-shading at 12:04? I see some modelers doing so, but in the end you are re-applying the base coat over it, which will make your pre-shading fade. What is the difference between pre-shading and washing your model? Could you enlighten me about these steps? I don't understand the difference. Thanks!

[@PerisModels]

@@impooser hi there With pre shading you are trying to enhance the color shade difference between panels and panel lines. Usually the area around the panel lines looks darker than the centre of a panel. You either do that or you spray with a lighter tone the centre of the panel. It's a step that allows you to have tonal variations. Wash is used to enhance the actual panel lines. Hope it makes sense 👍🏻😁

[@impooser]

@@PerisModels Thanks for your answer! Yes, makes sense! Alright, I will try to apply this technique on my (hopefully) future aircraft models! Cheers!

[@TheWheels1965]

Hi, can you use a sharpie pen for the panel lines before the main coat of paint!

[@PerisModels]

Yes you can but you need to be careful what paints you will use later as it might react
