The ground rushing past on the base looks incredible. I'm going to start using that on my jet models.

[@nielsferwerda7561]

That's a lot of daring work on such a small aircraft,but it look very,very Nice!!! Job well done dude!!!

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thank you very much Niels!

[@berfava]

When I thought painting details such as shadows and rust was the ultimate skill in this hobby, you just demonstrated there's a whole new level of building skill! Wow! 👏

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Wow, thank you so much! This is a quite old video, please also check out my latest stuff 😉

[@hozongxi]

Very nice! I am personally building a 1:144 USAF VC-140B with a lighted cabin. Definitely a lot of challenge adding lights in such tiny spaces.

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks and good luck!

[@dchong]

Great job doing something that i can only imagine doing.

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

@@dchong Just try it! Thanks 😊

[@eddiebirdie1545]

I love 1:144 scale as i find it makes me a better modeler because the smallest mistake stands out far more obviously than it would on a larger model, if i can do it at 1:144 anything bigger is easy to accomplish, very well done on your results for this kit, exellent work.

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks Eddie!

[@MrMsmedicopter]

Your videos have the perfect length

[@8bitsdiversion76]

Very Nice!! 👌 Congrat!! 👏👏👏👏

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks :)

[@swing.wing_singh]

Excellent build. Everything was done to perfection specially the decalling, the electrical connections the diorama and all. Yes I too believe in keeping the video length less. I'd say a 3-4mins video would be perfect but thats just not possible considering all the work that one needs to showcase. Yes we could shorten by using only pictures but that reduces the efficacy of the whole effort. Anyways anothet awesome model done. Cheers!

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Don't exaggerate Sherbir 😊 I agree that just doing a slideshow of pictures is much easier but that's not what this video platform was made for, right? 😁

[@swing.wing_singh]

@@Starfishscalemodeling Agreed. However short I might try to make my videos they end up stretching beyond 7mins 😦

[@Rich77UK]

I love it! Modelling at 1:144 is tricky and to add such extras... Great job. Just a tip. Try enamelled/lacquered wire next time. It's super thin (small fishing line) and works great With LEDS.

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks for the feedback! This video is quite old, please check out my latest videos!

[@jetsofthecoldwar1149]

Really impressive, especially considering the fact this is in 1/144 scale 👍

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks a lot mate!

[@patrickubik8147]

Super nice! Respect for this super creative and dedicated hard work!

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks a lot Patrick, glad you like it 😊

[@NM-ug7vx]

Great build and video. Could you please make a video of your model and dioramas collection?

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thank you mate! Yes, that might quite possibly be my next video 😉

[@NM-ug7vx]

★ Starfish ★ Nice thank you for answer

[@Blagmeister88]

I've been following your builds since you made a comeback with your F-18C (i think), and i must say you have evolved massively! In my opinion, the videos is not to long at all. In fact you could do them even longer. When a video comes to 20min+ then it will be a bit tricky to stay with it all. Great build as usual, and for a 1/144 scale this was beautiful done! 👍 Keep up the awsome work man. I'm currently building a F-15C MSIP II with the Desert camo from Great Wall Hobby in 1/72 scale. I can REALLY recommend you building one, and it would be awsome if you did a video about that build. The details of GWH products is insane! Love frome sweden 🇸🇪

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thank you so much, means a lot to me! I have the same F-15C MSIP II but from Academy! Desert camo sounds awesome, can I please see it once it's done?

[@Blagmeister88]

@@Starfishscalemodeling You've earned all the great comments with your build, no biggie! The one from academy is beautiful as well. Only downside with Academy F-15C is that the canopy is 1 part, so you are forced to build closed-canopy :( ofcourse! I can't upload pictures here in the comments, how should i send them to you? Facebook? 😊

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

@@Blagmeister88 Oh are you sure about that canopy? Just watched an inbox review and it looks like 2 parts! To send me pics just contact me on Facebook at Starfish Scale Modeling please

Nice build how my father said hard work always pays off

Good morning great work....I have a question. Do u know how to create vapor cones

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thank you! You could try it with cotton but I doubt that it would look realistic 🤔

[@Roosterfox]

I have just started building this same kit and not sure to paint the black flash alone the back or use the decals if you were to do this kit again would you still use decals or think about painting it

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Depends how experienced you are with decals. Overall this decal wasn't such a huge problem but you can just try using it and paint it if it doesn't work!

[@TehWulf]

wild geil :D möcht ich mal live sehn

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Kannsts eh selbst so bauen 😉

[@guyfromfuture1918]

Can this be built without the decals? And would you recommend this for beginners?

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Yes and yes but why would you build it without decals?

[@guyfromfuture1918]

@@Starfishscalemodeling I prefer the normal light grey on the super hornet and the decals look painful to put on.

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

@@guyfromfuture1918 In that case you need other decals for the horizontal stabilisers

[@attkattk1074]

This is amazyng man!for real.,.do you sell this diorama?

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thank you! I would theoretically sell it if the price is right but shipping it without damaging it might be a challenge 😅

[@eg0_hd185]

Ich habe einen Tipp für dich: wenn du enamel wash benutzt auf Ammo of mig und dann mit Terpentinersatz das überschüssige Zeug abwischt verläuft die Farbe habe es bei meiner T 50 gemacht . Das ganze Modell kannst du in die Tonne werfen

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Hattest du darunter ein Schicht Klarlack?

[@eg0_hd185]

★ Starfish ★ nein

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

@@eg0_hd185 vor dem Wash sprühe ich immer gloss

Alter sieht richtig gut aus hast du einen neuen Kleber? also ch würde sagen Bau die Horent oder mach mal ein Video wo du einfach zeigst welche Kits du noch hast also alle ungebauten und Abonnenten dürfen dann abstimmen oder Vorschläge in den Kommentaren machen fände ich ganz coolis als jet afterburner habe ich auch so ein plastic Teil genommen und habe es angeschnitten also Textur gegeben ich hoffe dieser Text war verständlich

Ja hab alles verstanden 😏 Möchte jetzt eh mal ein Video machen was ich schon alles gebaut habe. Was als nächstes gebaut wird bin ich mir schon relativ sicher... Abwarten 😉

@@eg0_hd991 Achso nein, verwende nach wie vor den Standard Revell Kleber

@@eg0_hd991 Hätte auch gern den Tamiya Extra Thin aber von Revell Kleber hab ich noch ca. 10 Stück 😅

[@SahanModelbuilding]

Echt super 👍🏻👍🏻 Wie Fixierst du eigentlich die Decals? Verwendest du irgendeinen softener oder sprühst du einfach Klarlack drüber?

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Danke! Klarlack Gloss - Decal - Decal Sol/Micro Sol - Klarlack Satin

[@eg0_hd991]

Ich benutze Tamiya Mark fit Strong und Mr decale setter und softer ist teuer aber lohnt sich

[@SahanModelbuilding]

Ah ok danke, ich hab zwar noch ein ganzes Glas mit Revell Decal Soft aber ich möchte was neues ausprobieren wenn das leer ist

[@eg0_hd991]

Modelbuilder Graz ja also ich persönlich mag das Revell Zubehör überhaupt nicht es ist teurer und nicht besser also diesen decal softer von Revell gibt es für 4 oder 5 Euro 30 ml und Tamiya Mark fit Strong kostet 3,50 und hat 40 ml Volumen

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

@@SahanModelbuilding habe Model Master Decal Set und Micro Sol, funktioniert beides gut

[@marc22457]

Hi..wie hast du das mit den feinen schwarzen Linien gemacht? Hast du die Farbe noch verdünnt,dass sie sich so "verlief" in den Rillen? Baue gerade das gleiche Model?😂 Wie hast du die Witterung angemischt? ✌️ PS.Hast mein größten Respekt

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Danke für das Lob 😊 Für den Panel Line Wash kriegt das Modell zuerst eine Schicht Glanzlack, dann verwende ich grundsätzlich einen fertigen Wash. Wie ich es bei der Hornet genau gemacht habe weiß ich nicht mehr, ist zu lange her 😅

[@marc22457]

@@Starfishscalemodeling Sry bin voll neu im Modelbau..was genau meinst du mit einem "wash"🙈

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

@@marc22457 Im Detail kann ich es dir auch nicht sagen aber ich würde es als verdünnte Farbe beschreiben, die eben dafür da ist, Panellines, Nietenreihen usw. mit Farbe zu füllen. Damit werden die eben besser betont. Es gibt allerhand fertige Produkte in allen möglichen Farben zu kaufen, man kann den Wash aber auch mit Seife selbst herstellen was ich gehört habe. Hoffe das hilft 😊

[@steynfnstr_photography]

hello, i would like to buy an f 16, f14 and f22 model kit in 1:72 scale. now i would like a cheap kit. it doesn't need a lot of detail and no elaborate decals. I am really a beginner. can you give me advice? regards, Steyn

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Hi! I build Italeris F-16 which was quite good and basic. If you want more detail go for Tamiya. The F-22 I have from Revell looks good out of the box but is quite difficult to get nowadays. Whatever you do, stay away from Mistercraft kits 😉

[@eg0_hd991]

Planespotter14 hi hasegawa got a f16 for 14 euros or dollars and Italeri got an f16 for 12 euros or dollars

[@steynfnstr_photography]

★ Starfish ★ thanks! then I will take a look at italeri, revell seems familiar to me! those are nice kits if I read it that way :) what's so bad about that brand mistercraft?

[@steynfnstr_photography]

Eg0 _HD thanks!

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

@@steynfnstr_photography Revell's latest F-16s are also quite good from what I heard. Basically I wouldn't recommend anything that's suspiciously cheap - like Mistercraft :) I did unboxing videos of both Italeri and Mistercraft F-16s, just take a look on my channel ;)
