Just come back to refer to this brilliant material, as I have started one of these. All this hidden interior work. I simply don;t have the time. So i am going to watch this carefully and cut necessary corners to eliminate the detail. I'm becoming an efficient model maker to put the hours in where it counts. This helps a lot

[@malcolmpap]

hi nige just sold me on another model to build i love your reviews . i am still building my 1/24 spitfire you recomended and im loving it never built a 1/24 before i think its great 1/72 scale definatly to small for me these days so im going to try 1/32 scale after 1/24 spit . thanks nigel for getting me back in the hobby

[@portland-182]

Jess looking like Snowy from Tin Tin is great!

[@David-ui2lv]

Love the Hollywood-style intro!!! Eat your heart out Cecile B De Mille! Next stop a Remake of Ben Hur. Just one question Nige - who is the funny looking guy behind the pilot...?

[@NigelsModellingBench]

That'll be me then lol.

[@keithcarlson8522]

Wow Nigel,you are certainly a man on a mission! you are becoming my prime motivator to head back to the bench!

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Glad to hear it

[@philmitchell8109]

I picked up one on the weekend and going to build it as a Sea Hurricane as it looks like everything is in there that I'll need

[@seamybmw]

Looking great Nigel for a 32 scale the cockpit looks really neat and tidy I will be catching up on this build series the last Revell plane I did was the 1/48 scale Memphis Belle diorama with motors in the props and nav lights, not a bad kit but it's showing its age now 👍👍

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Thanks buddy

[@Andy.Gledhill.Models.]

Great build Nigel. That cockpit looks mint.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Thank you Andy.

[@RimsModels]

Great video my friend looks a very detailed kit and for the money is excellent value really liking your approach to this build series and look forward to seeing more thanks for sharing 👍👍

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Thanks Rob👍Just 5 more parts to go...

[@RimsModels]

@@NigelsModellingBench you’re welcome look forward to them

[@SAS672]

Very happy you are doing this one Nige! I've just got mine, it came yesterday and I'll be starting later today. It looks like an amazing kit for the money, I know there isn't much after market stuff to throw at it yet, but I have ordered a seatbelt set and masks. Glad you covered the cockpit color in this video as there are so many conflicted opinions on line. Look forward to the next video.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Enjoy!! It's a lovely little build.

[@allensjoquist1924]

Cockpit looks great with a good bit of detail considering the price. Looking forward to part two. BTW that individual in the flying helmet and goggles is quite striking, oh, and the fellow in the flying kit looks pretty good also, lol. Cheers mate.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Ha ha Allen, thanks so much for doing these wonderful pics for me.

[@michaelcraven8205]

Great to see this one too. I really like these "out of the box builds" your doing. Now, if only I could just find one of these and the Airfix Spitfire here in the US.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Glad you like them!

[@FinsburyPhil]

So pleased you're doing this one Nige. My first kit back in the hobby last year was the Revell 1/32 Spitfire IIa and despite some of the reviews that I read, it wasn't too bad. 1/32 isn't too fiddly and it presented a good opportunity to practice some techniques (including correcting my mistakes!). Not too many parts, so allowed me to make progress at a decent pace. Also a good price, so I think I'll do this one to get some more practice in ahead of the Kotare Spitfire.

[@PeteCourtier]

It’s a classic kit as far as I’m concerned. Great detail, not many issues and cheap. Hopefully Revell can deliver again with the hurricane.

[@MrFish1968]

I doff my cap to your cockpit, I've just finished assembling mine and a found it very fiddly, a metric ton of clean up and so fragile and it looks about 20% as good as yours.

[@paulwilson1529]

great work Nigel that cockpit looks super

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Many thanks!

[@jeffreypurcell4681]

Yeah, my favourite ww2 plane !

[@bennetto75]

Nigel the radiator on the hurricane is painted silver, the airframe tubes are not aluminium but steel and it depended where they were manufactured, could be gray or silver.

[@tintobrass532]

Excellent discipline…absolutely first-rate technique!

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Glad you liked it!

[@steveshanks2537]

I had the 1/32 Revell Me262 and Tamiya Cements just didn’t work at all, in the end I had to use the Revell Contacta or EMA Plastic Weld!

[@wombat_models]

Acetone will evaporate at 26-29C Butyl Acetate has an evaporation rate of 7.5 which makes it "fast evaporating" (compared to a standard rate of 1.0). So yes, TET could go off if left open (especially in warm environments).

[@markoldreive]

Spiffing video their old chap. What ho. looks really nice Nigel and good value. Should be able to get one in a week or so I hope. I look forward to part 2

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Enjoy it Mark, but you also need some hot glue.

[@markoldreive]

@@NigelsModellingBench I have Tamiya quick set or do you recommend one of the others?

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Tamiya Quick set works fine mark, ordinary TET doesn't. Paul tried Revell Contacta which was OK but is not as handy as Tamiya QS.

[@davidstone-haigh4880]

Just found your channel-cheers!

[@alancrowley7991]

Nice job Nige, love the intro............👌

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Thanks for the visit

[@lindseysbuilds9635]

Excellent progress

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@simonworrall7950]

Tamiya extra thin is definitely very volatile. Here in Brisbane we have had some hotish weather (35-38 C) and half a bottle disappeared because I forgot to fully tighten it by a half turn. Several people have now confirmed that extra thin and Tamiya airbrush cleaner are the same thing - acetone and butyl acetate.

[@brianwindmill6849]

Second🤣 looking forward to this Nigel

[@AlisonFort]

Like Jess’ new outfit!

[@NigelsModellingBench]

More to come at the start of each video Alison.

[@guywilson187]

Very neat and tidy job Nigel. The whole cockpit tub assembly looks great. (Nice intro to the video too 👍)

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Glad you liked it

[@otter1959]

I'm enjoying this build immensely. I do have a question. In your Mosquito build you painted a yellow dot on the armor plating. Was that done on bombers only, or did the fighters have that marking as well?

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Not that I recall. BTW.. I haven't built a Mosquito?

[@rileyk99]

Just bought the 1/32 Revell Stearman and it looks like a very similar process for that one.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

The Revell Stearman is actually an ICM kit.

[@rileyk99]

@Nigel’s Modelling Bench I wondered about that. So far the plastic seems kinda brittle, I've broken one of the small cockpit area tubing pieces already 🙄

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Strange.. normally the ICM plastic is lovely to work with?

[@rileyk99]

@Nigel’s Modelling Bench easily fixable, we'll see how it goes together but it looks really nice.

[@tonydrake462]

excellent quick build (feels like from you!!) - and agree 100% re Edward belts - had same issues.. nice work - I can see me getting that kit now...

[@tonydrake462]

i did skip though (before work) - but will follow in detail when I get my kit.. ;-)

[@Whatever7509]

That must be the longest gap between videos,Expected you to turn up holding a Pina colada on a beach!

[@ninebolts]

Like the plan for the format of the build. Can you stick to the path or are you heading of piste?

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Right on track with this one.. honestly..

[@polguiriec4352]

Jolly good job indeed! Would you say this kit can easily be turned into a mk1? Cheerio from brittany

[@NigelsModellingBench]

I guess yes, a metal winged one?

[@polguiriec4352]

@@NigelsModellingBench yes; I think so; there'll be just a few changes to operate; like the two "intakes" ? on the outside of the cockpit that seemingly weren't on the mark 1...

[@NigelsModellingBench]

The nose is longer on a MkII so some serious surgery will be required.
