I'm 60, have over 100 models to build in my stash. I've been accumulating some for years. I haven't built models since I was a teenager. I appreciate all these videos since I feel lost now.

Just found your channel. I like that you cover the basics. Any ETA on the next couple of instalments? Thanks 👍🏻

Silicone brush- genius! Try adding a little soap to the water used for sanding down. I'm sure it gives a better finish, and sooner.

Could be great if HK let transparent parts, so there You could see the magnificent interior. A really great job...!

Jack, do you have a part number for the AK silicon brushes. I don't see them on their website. Thanks. Love your instructional videos.

ALWAYS great to watch your builds.... May I please ask, what is the red putty you are using? is it 'hot', as in will it attack the styrene?

[@pcj3405]

Has HK started producing the 1/32 B-17 again?

My bad, it's Deluxe MATERIALS perfect plastic putty.

[@budphillips5968]

I got so dang frustrated with that model...$300. The holes for the top turret, ball turret, and nose gun turret are not round so the turrets don't turn

[@MattGrimmett]

That's a $368 model. Yikes

[@prokremelskidezolati1426]

do you have at least any idea, how expensive are the molds for such a huge model???

[@kmurphy739]

You're pretty condescending, what's you're sub age group average 12?

[@letzrock1675]

[@markfrench8892]
