I hope you enjoy the video! Edit: thanks to a few comments, I have since learned that the gun bay covers sit forward on the wing! Thanks to the people that kindly let me know!

[@ModelMinutes]

That looks amazing! I’ve got the starter set version of this one to build

[@ModellingWeekly]

You'll love it - it was fun and easy to build but gives a nice result

[@tomatorce2785]

I brush painted the start version and it looks ace

[@ModelMinutes]

TomaTorce awesome!

[@ninjawithfishontheback]

I watched your video

[@badman5509]

I don't want to spoil the pleasure of this beautiful model, but I think the lids above the weapon pits are hinged at the front edge. This ensures that the airflow will not tear the lids off in case the breech fails.

[@ModellingWeekly]

Yep, you are absolutely correct! My error, I'm gonna try and correct them!

[@markshellard5894]

Perfect subject 👍🏻

[@ModellingWeekly]

It's a great aircraft!

[@81SweetThing]

Hi, looks great, well done 😀 The aircraft you modeled was flown by my grandfather, F/O Ronald Sweeting DFC.

[@ModellingWeekly]

Aw, that's amazing! Your grandfather had a great looking machine! 😄

[@YdnarLah37]

Nice build, great looking model.

[@lancerevell5979]

Nice job! Your build inspired me to order this kit. Been a modeler for over five decades, but just discovered these YT build videos. An old dog can learn new tricks! 🐶

[@chuckhardin1936]

That is one sweet looking bird there. I like that the plane came with the setup for the open wing section. It looks great. Thank you for sharing.

[@vasili1207]

Been great to so you progress over the years. Smashed it

[@ModellingWeekly]

:) Been great to have you as a sub over these years as well!

[@vasili1207]

Well at least it's, mutual 🤣 . Np mate have a good one 👍

[@Snoozie09]

Been wanting to give this model a go for a while, and you've done terrific work here once again! Keep it up man 👌💯

[@ModellingWeekly]

:D Thanks so much man! Definitely give it a go, it's a great kit!

[@Altprager]

Very nice beautiful

[@chancerNW]

Great build vid, the Airfix 1/72 Tiffy is certainly a sound little kit with some nice touches like to gun bay option.

[@ModellingWeekly]

Definitely, really loved the gun bays

[@ninjawithfishontheback]

12:11 great to know that the propeller has be checked by a professional, 😂😂😂

[@SpringsMTBsac]

That's a beautiful piece of work!

[@ModellingWeekly]

Thanks! 😃

[@bigcharliesmodelgarage296]

Looks great.

[@ModellingWeekly]

Appreciate it!!

[@mikealtes]

As always, a simple and beautiful model... And the music matches the action perfectly. Thanks for doing well.

[@ModellingWeekly]

Thank you for your kind words :)

[@alessiodecarolis]

Finally a decent model of a great attack aircraft. I never understood why the old mould didn't had any rockets, this new model has amazing details,

[@ModellingWeekly]

Definitely!

[@josecesar5952]

That looks awesome!

[@michaelvalenzuela2528]

No P/E??? What a barbarian. With the pretty good detail in this kit, it's not needed👍

[@beaverchicken]

Holy crap that’s amazing! And I thought the Typhoon I did looked nice, I need to use some of your tricks!

[@ModellingWeekly]

😄

[@beaverchicken]

Modelling Weekly Speaking of which, what were you spraying on at 8:22 after the yellow?

[@ModellingWeekly]

@@beaverchicken that's just a normal clear gloss varnish layer, to seal in the paint ready for decals

[@anyblunder6782]

Job well done.

[@diarmuidkelly4916]

Fantastic 👏

[@ModellingWeekly]

Thanks! :D

[@waynemoore140]

Great build but gun bay panels are incorrect they open onto upper wing surface not over flaps .

[@ModellingWeekly]

Ah, thanks - I didn't notice!

[@normangebhardt]

Good work

[@jpht1964]

I really like the way you build…..

[@ModellingWeekly]

Thanks so much! ☺️

[@richardgardiner9597]

Wow, I'm impressed. Not only are you talented and well spoken, but your video production is very good for this type of material. Well done. The only thing I noticed was that I felt the music didn't really match the era. I think something reminiscent of the 40s would be more engaging. That being said, keep up the great work. I've subbed. BTW, you can thank Quick Kits for directing me here.

[@ModellingWeekly]

Hold on, Quick Kits directed you here? What do you mean lol - thanks for the kind words and advice btw!

[@pablosharples]

Hey there! I’m the guy who makes the music for this channel , what kind of genre music would you think goes more with the channel, I’m not really familiar with 40’s and 50’s music tbh. Thanks.

[@richardgardiner9597]

@@pablosharples it wasn't meant as a critique of the music per se. The music in and of itself is fine, but something like 40s swing playing in the background would be more nostalgic for a WWII fighter. If you listen to some music by Glenn Miller, you'll get the idea. Sorry if it came off as a criticism of the music itself.

[@midnightmodeling1639]

Great job.

[@ModellingWeekly]

Thanks!

[@ManCupboardModels]

Very nicely done! 👍

[@antonioromanoneto7054]

Very, very easy!!

[@TeaPoweredModels]

Really nice build great job! I really enjoyed this kit, I was a bit unlucky as I split water over the decals...

[@ModellingWeekly]

😂 I did the exact same!!

[@TeaPoweredModels]

Modelling Weekly 😁 decals are the bane of my life!

[@ADRIAAN1007]

I picked up a CMK resin engine for this kit, this thing had a very unique H-24 engine I felt like I would not be doing it justice without showing off the power plant.

[@ModellingWeekly]

Very good idea!

[@monkeyeagle1921]

Easy on the music!

[@ModellingWeekly]

I know...video's a year old, my new ones all have calming music :)

[@AreeyaKKC]

Excellent build. But trim that flash on your fingers. 😂😂😂 hangnails are a distraction

[@ModellingWeekly]

xD Yes I should make sure my fingers are in shape for filming!!

[@toonarmy725]

Thanks. Great video for us 'newbies' coming back to the hobby after 30 years away. Can I ask what psi's you spray at and how do you mask your canopies?

[@ModellingWeekly]

Many thanks! I normally spray anywhere between 15 and 25 PSI, depending on what feels right for what I'm spraying. In terms of canopy masking, I actually plan to release a tutorial soon enough talking through the 3 most effective ways to maski your canopies, so you may want to stay tuned for that. For the time being, the way I use the most is to lay a piece of tape over the section of canopy you want to mask, then use a toothpick to crease the edges near the struts. Then, with a very sharp blade (using very littl pressure), cut along those crease lines. Then remove the excess tape. It may take a few goes to o begin with, though once you get a feel for it it becomes second nature. Hope this helped, and again, I'll go into more detail in the video 🙂

[@rhe0reo876]

Hello there! I am in the air cadets and I was at an event where I got a gift bag with one of these in it, I’ve tried building but I’m very confused on the cement part. Am I supposed to get that myself and how?

[@ModellingWeekly]

Hi! If the kit wasn't a starter set, you'll unfortunately have to buy some separately. If it was a starter set, however, you'd have been given a small tube of normal polystyrene cement - this is a little harder to use than liquid cement, however if you squeeze some out onto a piece of cardboard from the box, you can use a toothpick to apply it more carefully to the model. Hope this helps :)

[@rhe0reo876]

@@ModellingWeekly ah ok, thank you!

[@mybluebelly]

What is actually that chin intake on Typhoons? So it comes out exhaust from it?

[@ModellingWeekly]

Engine cooling intake I believe

[@haroldbroadsword9895]

Great work! Very good video all together, but the music was just horrible, obviously a negligible complaint, still gave the video a like, but maybe something to think about for the future?

[@ModellingWeekly]

Don't worry, there's been a few people talking about that :D If you check out my recent videos, they have calm music :)

[@BennyCFD]

Doing the pin wash in the cockpit is kind of like painting the insides of walls, nobody will ever see it.

[@ModellingWeekly]

Peace of mind ;)

[@nikibloxsidge1701]

How did you mask the canopy? I have been having problems and I have never got it that neat 😂 Also where is the best place to buy the tamiya pin wash in the uk as I can’t find it anywhere

[@ModellingWeekly]

To mask the canopy I covered the glass with masking tape, then used a brand new blade to very carefully cut around the struts. Tamiya pin wash is very scarce, I had to buy mine on Ebay to be shipped from japan :)

[@nikibloxsidge1701]

Thank you!!!! Huugggeeeee help :) ;)

[@stephenkastory2322]

I am just getting back to Modelling after a number of years. What do you use to hold the seat to the stick while painting.

[@ModellingWeekly]

Blue tack :) Hope you are enjoying it again!

[@stephenkastory2322]

@@ModellingWeekly Thank You very much. The blue tack will help a lot. I have been holding the parts in my hand. Model kits have gotten better and I like that.

[@thewildsimon1418]

What varnish do you use I don’t think I heard you say it

[@ModellingWeekly]

For gloss: Humbrol gloss varnish, Matt: A cheap wood varnish thinned down for my airbrush

[@jonathanblack5807]

@@ModellingWeekly I’ve never tried wood varnish as a matte coat before. What thinner and thinning ratio do you use?

[@ModellingWeekly]

@@jonathanblack5807 It's roughly 50:50 with tap water, through a 0.4mm nozzle. I've only ever used the Wilko Clear Matt Wood Varnish, so I don't know about other brands :)

[@gerrycoogan6544]

Great model building. I wish you'd leave out the music though.

[@ModellingWeekly]

👍 A lot of people have mentioned the music. on my newer videos its a lot quieter and more relaxed

[@gerrycoogan6544]

same thing , as 20 mil army nest machine guns on tri pod platforms.

[@vickyking3408]

like the build hate the guitar it sounds off key

[@BigDaddy-fx4nx]

The music is brutal, out of tune guitars.......killing me. The model looks great though but it was painful watching.

[@ModellingWeekly]

I'm very sorry you felt this way - I don't believe the guitars are out of tune, it's just the style that the producer was going for. I'm trying to get more music from the creator as frequently as possible, but it takes time. I hope you can understand :)

[@BigDaddy-fx4nx]

@@ModellingWeekly I was a musician for over 40 years, they're out of tune whether on purpose or not.

[@ModellingWeekly]

@@BigDaddy-fx4nx Well..ok? Either way you didn't like the video because of it, so I deeply apologize.
