My friend. Please, don’t ever change! Most other channels show off their modes, but you share your knowledge. Keep doing what you do!

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks for your comment Bruce, makes it easier to go forward!

[@woody3590]

Beautiful work...I wish I could get mine to look half that good!

[@MMScaleModels]

You can, I am sure!

[@brentbeck7984]

This is a great series! Aftermarket parts cost as much as the kit. It's great to see you getting great results with oil paints and some patience.

[@MMScaleModels]

They are expensive and to be fair, rarely mindblowing.

[@scaledistrict7276]

Good job buddy, that's the way I did my instrument panels many years ago while I was young and crazy modeler with good eyes! 😅

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate, it leaves a certain sensation of accomplishment among other things doesn't it.

[@bugler75]

Super vidéo! Quick and to the point with lots of tips👍🏼 Can’t wait to see it in the cockpit. 😊 All the best, Ian

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks Ian 👍. The build is available on my patreon page. I will be closing the fuselage halves any day now.

Excellent job on that dashboard, Metodi. Great quote by the late Bob Ross, too. Cheers.

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate 👍

[@robbo1068]

I think that you've done a terrific job! As always, lots of great tips and ideas....thanks, Metodi.

Thanks, hope it is useful 👍

1:58 - 2:00 What’s up with *_THAT GUY?_* Good job 👍 I haven’t done any airplanes yet. I want to do a Corsair, a P40 & P51 Mustang and a Spitfire. I want everything to be as realistic as possible. Your videos will help with that. Thank you.

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate, Make sure you check out my Corsair series if you are into Corsairs!

[@vladtheimpala5532]

@@MMScaleModels I definitely will.

[@stephenbridges2791]

Very nice work! I tell you what I do. I keep styrene sheets around. Whenever I am going to try something new, I make a test panel doing the new technique. If there is going to be a problem, I'd rather it be on a piece of scrap. I'm going to try oils on my next instrument panel.

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate, yeah I know. I say to everyone seeking advice always to test on scrap plastic or paint mule. Nad yet I experiment on the fly almost all of the time. 😀

[@janvolek3040]

great work! Really appreciate you sharing all the tips and techniques!

Hey dude, amazing job! 05:32 one question: what type and brand of pen do you use to put that "yellowish finish" to the instruments? Thanks!

[@MMScaleModels]

Something like this amzn.to/3EmAfDa, not exactly the brand I have but could not find it.

[@daniellabra4186]

Wouldn't you use some clear crystal paint (Ammo line, for instance) to simulate the glass on the dials??

[@MMScaleModels]

I actually used clear varnish on the faces.

[@TheWookie_USN]

Ok. I’m starting the ICM B26 now and looking at the decal sheet. How in God’s name did you actually cut out each individual cockpit dial? 😮

[@MMScaleModels]

they are individual decals for each dial if I recall correctly... otherwise it would be PITA

[@TheWookie_USN]

@@MMScaleModels yea I noticed that last night after my comment, but still-wow.

[@willthorson4543]

Sweet. Which version of the invader are you going to do?

this is the B-26B-50

Where do you get your reference from?
