I appreciate seeing nice work using only brushes

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

Thanks mate!

[@ultimatebucco3181]

Looks fantastic! You put a lot of work into this Wildcat and it shows! These Hobby Boss kits look like a lot of fun. See ya next time.

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

Thanks again mate! Yeah spent 30 mins gluing and sanding and 5 hours weathering and painting! Definitely is something easy and fun to mess around with in between German stuff! See you on the next one😁👍🏻

[@londonleedsfan]

Nice job. I'm looking forward to the next one!

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

Thanks mate, I’m looking forward to sharing the next one😁👍🏻

[@Alan_Saund_Models]

It looks fantastic... I have the Academy one I'm going to do it in the UK camo paint scheme 👍

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

Thanks so much Alan! Oh nice in the FAA scheme… I saw the Airfix kit and was tempted to do it, looking forward to seeing your Academy kit!

Great build,and results

Cheers mate, thanks for the view!

@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits must have changed their decal printing process....while i have not built every hobby boss kit i have built a few of them and all of the ones i have built ALL had awful decals...would break and tear if you so much as looked at them.....just as bad as the misterkraft/Misterkit decals.....glad to hear these decals worked out well.👍👍👍👍👍

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

Ah man sound like an unpleasant experience! Yeah Mistercraft decals are the worst I’ve ever had the displeasure of using! I guess Hobby boss must have improved then, these ones were pretty good. I’ve got a few more Hobby Boss kits so hopefully they have improved all of their range! Thanks for watching mate😁👍🏻

How did you use the tamiya flat clear spray can, other than that great build looks great

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

Cheers mate! Yeah but annoying with the Tamiya can, it’s hard to see in the video but I held it about 30-40cm away and tried to make it 45 degrees and then pressed the spray just light enough to get a steady flow, I did 3 coats that way. Perhaps I was too far/too light and only misted the model hence the speckled effect?🤔

[@Alan_Saund_Models]

Try Army painter anti shine spray can I find that's the best

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

Oh okay, I shall see if it’s available in Australia👍🏻

What’s the difference between the F4F and FM1?

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

The main difference is that the FM-1 has one less machine gun and was built by GMC where as the F4F’s where built by Grumman. The FM-2 is quite a lot different with a larger tail and different engine but that another kit for another day haha.

@@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits I see thanks Luca ,if I can ask ,what’s the next project ?

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

@@AHAproductions712 No worries! Well to be honest I am the kind of person who has way too many projects going at once, but It looks like it may be the Academy 1/72 Martin Mariner will be the next build video (Hopefully done by the 24th of August)

[@jaws848]

How did you find the decals?

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

Pretty good, they did have a tendency to fold up, otherwise though detail is good, they didn’t tear and they are not too thick👍🏻😁
