Hi Rob, I am surprised at the small fit issues from a Tamiya kit, but they are easy fixes. Thanks my friend! Johnny

All buttoned up! Nice job done Johnny! Build is moving along nicely, looking forward for your next episode, curious to see the fuel can conversions. Thanks for sharing, take care and keep up the good work my friend!

[@hillbillymodeling]

Hi George, those fuel cans will be an easy fix I think. Thanks for looking in my friend, Model on! Johnny

[@Zorglub1966]

That kind of issues on Tamiya models, are not common, as far as i remember. Well managed!👍👍👍 I thought you were going to redo the headlights and the episcopes : hollow them out, paint the inside and fill them with the stuff you used to make the CSS Hunley portholes.

[@hillbillymodeling]

You're right, these types of issues are not common with Tamiya. Makes me wonder about the origins of this kit. As for the headlights, think I'll just paint them this go around, lol. Model on my friend! Johnny

[@keithsmodelsandrcs6593]

Well done bro its looking great good video step by step the fuel cans I believe they used all same cans u do be better off scratch building or 3D printing them so ye can use pierod correct parts fuel cans very good bro talk again soon Johnny ,👍from across the pond .Keith . ps.have a great weekend

[@hillbillymodeling]

Hi Keith, I'll just fix these fuel cans, shouldn't be too hard buddy. Take care and have a great weekend! Johnny

[@keithsmodelsandrcs6593]

@@hillbillymodeling cool buddy look forward to hearing your scratch build add on to existing fuel tanks should be half the battle for you hopefully,👍

[@rickmoreno6858]

Uncle Johnny in one of your previous videos I believe it was the mini art kit, you used craft paint basil color, well I picked up that color the basil color and they had another tool looking craft paint color called desert cactus, so I went ahead and picked up both of those colors. Thank you for introducing me to those craft colors cuz they're pretty cool looking ima use them on some some kits here in the future

[@hillbillymodeling]

Hi Rick, happy to hear that you're looking to try craft paint. I love using the stuff and can't beat the price either. I strain mine when pouring into my airbrush just to make sure there aren't any large particles that could cause problems with my airbrush. Have a great weekend and model on! Johnny

[@hillbillymodeling]

Thanks Jimmy! 😊

[@Zorglub1966]

To paint the tools glued on the model or not, it sounds like the Hawaiian pizza controversy...😆

[@hillbillymodeling]

Hi Zorg, yeah, it's that preference thing. Easier to paint with the possibility of getting glue spots on the finish, or no glue spots on the finish but hard to paint, lol.

[@keithsmodelsandrcs6593]
