HobbyBoss 1/18 AV8B Harrier Part 8: It's Finished

Yaaay!

[@edmachado22]

Looks like the real thing, just amazing 😮😍👍

[@tomwark6446]

Cracking job . Sean .

[@johnmclean6498]

I have enjoyed this build with you - the dramas and the joys. Your attention to details and striving to achieve what the customer wanted is a true testament to your ability and patience. he should be stoked with this and I think a 'bonus" would be appropriate! Well done and thanks for the entertainment (and tips).

[@gianlucatonon891]

No words for this artwork!

[@hawrermctez]

I've been searching under furniture for over an hour, looking for my jawbone after it dropped and hit the deck after seeing this! The sheer "oooft" factor of this scale is quite something to behold, but you have put the "oooft" on steroids! I could easily see this one inside a glass display cabinet at an AV8 squadron HQ or museum. Take a bow sir, you absolutely deserve it.

[@karlosmitz3027]

Amazing build! Thank you for taking us on the journey!

[@timwelch175]

My god man, what a beauty! Been AMAZING watching you plug your way through this build. Really appreciate all the time and detail you put into these videos. What a pleasure. Thank you. Absolutely gorgeous.

[@richardgrahame6023]

You have taken what's basically a toy and turned it into a beautiful model. There is no denying your scratch building skills are superb and that has really helped make this Harrier build what it is.

[@jamesvozar1]

very true indeed.

[@richardjohnholdenra3492]

I have bought toys before and changed them too, very satisfying with what you can acheive

[@johnmattioli9077]

Wonderful build series for the iconic Harrier. I'm sure the owner will be more than thrilled to receive it. Great Job!

[@michaelwilliamson6061]

Thanks, you have created a museum piece for for a lucky customer. Great video series and now you have set the bar, very, very high!

[@sbaliensarereal]

Another absolutely beautiful job 👍☕

[@andypreston1524]

That looks the absolute dog's nuts !!! Stunning model, what a fantastic job you have done. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@BoomerKeith1]

You should definitely be proud of this one. Excellent final product and all the custom additions really take it to the next level.

[@lyndonbrock8684]

Gorgeous build mate, you're very talented.

[@michaelkoff4823]

Well sir, you did an outstanding job, given what you had to work with. I would say you did it proud. Thanks for sharing your builds sir.

[@RoyFokker1974]

Wow, this bird is awesome! Great paintjob. Well done.

[@ianedgar2403]

Wow!! That is a beauty!! Thanks for all the tips and your guidance thro’ the build,

[@ovidiuschley3346]

It's looking so realistic , fantastic work , the weathering process is amazing , I like a lot how it looks ! 🏆🥇👍👏👏👏

[@grahamrushall6044]

Fantastic job! Exceptional. Looking forward to your next build!

[@michaelalanpowell]

You, sir, are an artist.

[@bakedbeanzontoast9078]

Wow, I must say it turned out way better than I expected! Really nice job.

[@digitaldiz]

Freaking outstanding! I hope to build my modeling skills up to be even close to yours someday. Mighty impressed.

[@petebike]

You are a true craftsman.

[@garymurphy5133]

As usual a Harrier expert will know in and outs BUT to me a Brit that loves Harriers,this is stunning,what a model to have. Nothing else is like a Harrier and this shows that. Wow!

[@dekon70]

OUTSTANDING!!!! Can not wait for your next build series.

[@FlyingTreg]

Wow! Great looking model. You did a fantastic job!!

[@braille9920]

Outstanding and very inspirational, thanks for sharing. Looks so realistic especially the seat.

[@kenttsang5748]

Man, it looks like......... almost real, especially when place it into a platform similar a runway that ready to take off. Amazing, thank you for your video, good job.

[@kelvinbranom10]

On the intake edge of a real AV-8B ,it's painted with a clear coating. That's done to prevent chipping on that leading edge. most people don't know that, but still your work looks great, no check that, excellent

[@jrex9199]

Unbelievable skills brotherman, BEAUTIFUL!

[@freddyt9140]

That’s a fantastic build sir. Bravo 👏

[@xtremismodels]

Another absolutely stunning bird! Beautiful work my friend! 😎👍👍

[@seanerk5kt9]

Thanks buddy!

[@xtremismodels]

Anytime brotha!

[@timraines4972]

Most fantastic work there, excellent craftsmanship. One lucky customer who's going to receive this

[@jodypombrio5472]

Absolutely fantastic! Your best build yet Sean. Each build keeps getting better, which isn’t an easy thing to say or so. You definitely went over the top on this one! I love it buddy!

[@nvstewart]

Amazing work, looks full size!

[@RichardAnderson-zt8mq]

I'm staggered. Having watched pt 1-8 over various evenings this is simply amazing work. It's an artform that in another life I would aspire to. And it's such a beautiful machine. You have done the machine, and the amazing guys that designed, built, serviced and flew them, a great service. I was tempted to take this up again in retirement but I won't - I just am knocked out by what you and others do with these quite basic kits and will settle now just to view the experts. Thank you.

[@heveritt7690]

Having seen your work I have been inspired. Kit arrived last week from France. Now .....a deep breath!

[@ninjato1368]

Das Beste was ich je gesehen habe.. Thank you for all. Perfekt and so fantastic...

[@LTModels]

great result!! turned out great man!

[@charliemessenger6537]

That is a beast of a model. May be your best build yet. Love the large scale stuff. You can cram so much detail in. It needs a 1/18 scale A-10 to go with it. Awesome job sir.

[@seanerk5kt9]

Now that would be a big one.

[@davidmaya8516]

Just amazing! You must be very proud!

[@jsidaho1957]

Wow Mr. Primed, that is one great looking Harrier!

[@michaelnaven213]

Great build!

[@johntye3798]

Awesome job, work of art.

[@patrickbeanland8469]

So impressed. Great job!

[@116thcavscout]

That's a thing of beauty. Well done sir.

[@JacobHayden]

You did an Amazing Job on it looks Fantastic ... I just ordered the 1/18 huey to build now because how yours came out got me wanting to order a harrier next

[@tonygary7611]

Beautiful build

[@matk4731]

Just brilliant. Excellent work . You sir are a true master craftsmen. 👏👏 Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃

[@nackdibby7960]

I know you can hide some goofs on a smaller scale but this just goes to show you are an absolute master at these large scale planes....and everything in between! What a beautiful Harrier! I learned a lot through out this build as well so thank you again for sharing your time and incredible talent with us all! Now whats next?!?!?! LOL!!!

[@jb.6953]

Just amazing.Good job man.

[@samyachatterjee6345]

Awesome build.

[@migu029]

Looks beautiful! I like big model planes, they are gorgeous. Very nice scratch building for detailing this bird. I've enjoyed watching your videos! Cheers

[@seanerk5kt9]

Cheers Alex!

[@iyotriantorro]

Superb craftmanship!...that’s it!

[@airzulu2733]

Superb work . Amazing

[@rbk3463]

I used to build a lot of models but got out of it for a long time. This channel is really fun and informative and has inspired me to get back into it. I typically do 1:48 aircraft. I have an F-18E on the bench and will do an F-35 in the near future. I also have a Valkyrie from Robotech on the way. My young son has been watching the old Macross series from the 80's and we're going to work on that together.

[@jodypombrio5472]

Sean got me back into building. He has a relaxed way of teaching what he is doing. Very easy guy to learn from.

[@bobdyer422]

That looks awesome, simply awesome. Big hunk of plastic, that's for sure. As good as the pit came out, I knew this would be a showpiece. "Ace of Spades" MOTORHEAD! OH, that's right this gets shipped out! That would be tough. Pretty cool deal with the magnets, I like that method. 1st vid I watched since the power came back on, and still behind +4000 views! NICE! Great job. BIG CONGRATS!

[@GloopTrekker]

Amazing work!

[@jasondawn1095]

Dude! Unbelievable. Awesome work, your buddy got what he paid for.

[@judygarnhum2992]

Absolutely beautiful...I love your work! Judy in Nova Scotia, Canada

[@seanerk5kt9]

Thank you soooooo much , and wow, truly a gift you have a true aviator engineer, especially love the way you slurp your coffee and you have a regard for being a true professional and yet a big kid !! And the way you greet your fans , love it, you’ve inspired and created a following of me , that I enjoy always , a multitude of repeat watching you post , And I have highly recommended to other fellow model builders to view your post, truly incredible and Hobby Boss should be paying for your choice of using there kit, Thank you and especially the harness building technique is awe inspiring and perfect use of simple , yet beyond effective realistic build and even a simple usage of medical tape for fabric recreation is excellent and definitely a genius idea , I’ve bought this kit and familiar with weathering and recreation of hoses , engine bay , spraying , etc , my experience is vast , but you’ve definitely taken my , thinking out of the box , To a new level !!! I Thankyou for that , god-bless and stay safe and please Keeping on posting !!!!! Truly you are a Jedi master !!!!! ‘ THE FORCE IS TRULY , STRONG WITH THIS ONE ‘

[@seanerk5kt9]

I appreciate the kind words my friend👍

[@joegilroy4918]

Wow!!! Amazing work...

[@johnembry4989]

All I can say is WOW! Stunning!

[@Dancing-Brush]

What a big model..incredible

[@fleetwarrior75]

Damn guy... this looks fantastic!

[@tpaul802]

Awesome. Looks so good

[@simonjj7397]

Beautiful model, worth the work.

[@JamesF63]

Looks awesome!!!

[@TheAvargas687]

Wow , fantastic work

[@Rumble-is-better]

Awesome!!! To say it's movie or museum quality doesn't do it justice as I've never seen a model in a museum that good. Let's just call it a work of art.

[@fabricemontupet]

I have seen most of your videos, very pleasant to see. You're the best model maker that I have ever seen and very friendly. Congratulations. Long life to your channel.

[@Rob-tq5ym]

awesome build m8

[@davidturner2365]

That is awesome great job 👍👍👍👍✈️

[@bubbapipe]

Another great series of videos on your remarkable build. It looks amazing and if the owner isn't happy just shipper up to Canada...would love this in my house. Thanks for sharing! Can't wait for the next one.

[@seanerk5kt9]

Thanks Ed

[@bubbapipe]

@@seanerk5kt9 you are most welcome Sir.

[@richelias2973]

That is sweet. Excellent job

[@timmasters61]

Wow, this is astonishing. I built a couple of 1/72 scale ones one a few weeks ago and was pretty pleased with them until I saw this! I'm looking at your's, looking at mine, looking at your's, looking at mine and thinking holy sh*t, I need to improve. I'm a new subscriber by the way, having come across your channel a week or so ago and I've been binge watching your videos since. What can I say, apart from you sir, have an amazing talent, your explanations are brilliant too, you don't drone on for hours and you come across as being modest which is very refreshing. I can't wait to see what's next!

[@seanerk5kt9]

Thanks for the kind words Tim, and I’m glad you like my videos. I try to make videos that I would enjoy watching...with that said, some of my earlier ones aren’t very good, but hopefully you’ll be able to find a few helpful nuggets in them. I found it to be more helpful to compare my current models to my past models rather than compare mine to others...that way, you can see how you’ve improved and in what areas you need to improve. One thing that has exponentially improved my skills was to take on projects that I thought were above and beyond my skill level. It’s really rewarding to complete something that you never thought you could build and at the end, you’ll find that you’ve developed some new skills. Thanks again Tim!

[@goodbill55]

All I can say is: what a fantastic job and the customer is one lucky SOB lol.

[@mp-modelplastic]

Funtastic model. Great work. It looks very realistic .

[@seanerk5kt9]

Thanks Manuel!

[@domm1341]

[@seanerk5kt9]

Thanks my friend :)

[@wdegiorgio]

Great Job !

[@AbstractArmorHLF]

What a beaut....well done sir...

[@meauxjeaux431]

WHOA.... That kit was not manufactured to look like that ! You did a hell of a job of "untoying" it. I have to take back what I said on a previous video about you putting in way to much time, blood, sweat, and tears into just a "toy." It was worth every minute.

[@seanerk5kt9]

Lol. I won’t build another one of these again!

[@Pantifo]

I worked on planes from this squadron while I was stationed at Cherry Point with MALS-14 - Absolutely beautiful job here! I would be absolutely stoked to have something like this in my collection, not sure If I could afford your work though, lol.

[@toboldlygosmodelworks1973]

Stunning
