FULL VIDEO BUILD TAMIYA

[@martinjrgensen8234]

Every time Tamiya levels up its kit game, we get some fantastic kits. These, the Mosquito, the new F-14s, the Phantom and recently the F-35 that just blew my mind

[@bullgrim]

This kit is an absolute beauty.

[@richardcorwin1828]

Just what I needed Dusan. You've taken a superb kit and knocked this one out of the park! Thank you sir.

[@rszanger]

Tamiya's undoubtedly number one plastic model manufacturer.

[@JN-vp1mx]

Bandai is no.1 IMO but not really conventional stuff. Tamiya are certainly the best at most main stream subjects

[@JurieGildenhuys]

Great build. Fantastic that you built a Spitfire used by the South African Air Force. Just a pity that the red of the roundels were not orange. Regards from South Africa.

[@patrickvdl5428]

apparantly this was correct. When 1 SQn SAAF took he Spits from the PFT (Skalski's Circus) they overpainted the squadron codes (ZX) with the dark stone before putting on their own codes (AX). They didn't change the roundels to orange which would have been standard for the SAAF

[@davidhinkson8856]

I can see why this model gets such rave reviews - the level of detail is just terrific, and as usual, your build does it justice.

[@SMAZVidoes]

Wow. Great weathering and perfect result. I had built this kit soon after it was released many years ago. It’s a joy to put together.

[@davidwinter5199]

Great job on this. I have always really liked the sand camo. I see you went to the Malta aviation museum, I would really like to go, I last visited Malta in 1990 before the museum existed. I was fascinated with the Malta spitfires and bought a book from the Valletta museum about them. In there was a Spitfire wreck pulled from the sea. It was a MkVb and it was the whole front section inc the cockpit. You have captured the sun bleached paint, dust and oil staining really well. Admittedly the Vbs got the most action in 1942. I have been considering building a Malta Spitfire, and have been looking into the blue over paint that was quickly applied when they realised the desert camo showed up brightly against the Mediterranean sea from above. Well done from England.

Lovely kit, you really did it justice with a great build and superb paint job.

[@normansmith8184]

Mr. Lekic, you have triumphed again. Superb sir.

Excellent! Love your weathering! I went with this same look for my 48th eduard😊

Hello modellmate!i almost spilled my quick setting.because of this i purchased some gluebottle holders.i highly recommend them.they are lifesavers.with best regards and sticky greetings from Brandenburg germany.yours truly.your modellmate.christian

Impresionante, si el modelismo es imitar la realidad , este trabajo es un 10

[@lesthiele4921]

Hi Dusan, that was an absolutely stunning build, that scale is loo large for the cabinet space I have, but would like this kit, bedt regards from Australia, Les

[@philsmodelmaking2260]

heard so much about this kit! nice to see one built!

[@soppdrake]

I have this amazing kit in my stash, so it's a joy to see your take on it 😊 Not often a build is featured on here and your presentation of it, your skills and finish are a masterclass of awesome 😮

[@fotomakr]

Gorgeous painting and weathering. Like the Med scheme.

[@harrymarwick2529]

Another excellent piece of work Dusan 👍👌😎

[@garonee76]

Nice work man!! I have been a modeler of cars in 1/12, 1/20 and 1/24 scales for many years, but now after seeing this video and your care with the assembly and the ease of making it, I felt like buying a 1/32 airplane kit and making it too.😀

[@FacelessMan777]

Quit screwing around with those cars and start modelling instruments of war and learn the history of these machines of death, destruction, defeat and victory. C'mon, you can do it. It is a whole new world waiting for you...Welcome aboard. Also, there are incredible military vehicles to model. Tanks, APCs, half-tracks, prime movers, trucks and all sorts of rolling stock. There are good videos on military vehicles, one is Night Shift. Good luck.

[@davidhinkson8856]

You're not alone - Dusan inspired me to get back into building planes again after focusing only on cars for 25 years.

[@gabdemon]

Awesome build, final result is fantastic 😮🤩 Well done 👏🤝

[@s2112p]

The dented nose cone is ingenious, amazing!

[@richardjordan5036]

Very nice build. Love the tropical paint scheme..😊

[@charlesemerson6763]

Very nicely done. Impressive work as always.

[@natalebabbo-gunplaanddioramas]

Wow! Fantastic build! I’m currently finishing the Airfix 1/24 scale Mark Vb. The Tamiya kit is more detailed, though.

[@Astranamic]

Wait, this is the third kit that you have ever done? Wow!!

[@martinjrgensen8234]

No, the third Spitfire kit from Tamiya

[@Astranamic]

@@martinjrgensen8234 Ah, I see. Thank you

[@ronaldbyrne3320]

Fantastic finishing. 😍

Great Kit, Great Modeler! -Detroit

[@chrisbrown-ed6du]

Great build Well done

[@WayneWelly]

Great job on the spitfire

[@chrisg7398]

Absolutely awesome job matheseve these Tamiya 1/32 plan kits. Yeah they are a lil more expensive but they are well worth it. I've done it think 6 or 7 and some of them are repeat ones because they are that fun. Love the detail and work you put into this build. Keep up the badass work man. I love watching your builds.

[@davebrunette6394]

Very nice! I'm going to be building that same kit very soon.

[@jr7392]

LP-11 plus Mr. Rapid Thinner will give the smoothest finish.

[@140289EP]

Amazing work as always Dusan! Can you just let me know who did the music at the end? Thanks!

[@num351]

Best man great work as usual :)

[@septiccalling8341]

Really, really nice.....👏🏻👌🏻

[@darthhokum]

Perfect work 👍👍👍

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Detail on this kit is insane (as is the price)! Great job building, painting and weathering this kit! 👏 I don't like using heavy washes, though, I find them time consuming to remove and a bit too much. Still, yours looks amazing! 👍

[@ТатьянаСтолярова-и1с]

Beautiful ... as Always

[@ronaldbyrne3320]

Your usual superb finishing. 😍

[@juliocalvo1940]

WooooW 🤩🤩🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 ... Tengo el mismo pero el de hobbyboss 🎉❤

[@nigelsmith7366]

Hobbyboss kit is MkV not mkix and it is a very average kit with a few fit and design issues

[@panmodelarz]

Great build!

[@miguelortiz8906]

Te ha quedado muy bonito. Una gran joya ❤

[@goforitpainting]

Really cool model. 🛩

[@neilhaas]

I really like this spitfire very nice

[@DavidRLentz-b7i]

David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Tuesday, 8 October, 2024) A splendid job of a spectacular kit! And you built three? By any chance, had you built any in flight? This to include the propeller spinning, a pilot figurine in the cockpit seat, the harnessing securely enveloping him, the undercarriage retracted and their doors closed, the flight controls deflected befitting the highly dynamic movement of sharp manœuvres, etc.

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

I have P-51 in flight, not the Spit. Maybe in the future, who knows. Thank you very much! All the best! Dusan. Edit: yes, three types of the spit in 32nd from Tamiya.

[@mauserkk98]

Very nice job .

[@bm6823]

This is my ASMR ❤

[@willthorson4543]

Great job. It needed about 5 more minutes. You jumped right over most of he weathering lol

[@SEMJW]

A great Tamiya kit. Outstanding work and video presentation, Dusan. After several 1/32 projects (two of this kit) I switched to 1/24 and built two of four Airfix Mk.IXcs posed in flight. Very good model but there is more work in correcting, modifying and adding further detail that what the Tamiya kit needs. There is an official RAF training film on the preparation, application and maintenance of paint on 'High Speed Aircraft' showing the use of putty and primer filler on the leading edge of the wings of Spitfires. If interested the film and several of my Spitfire build reveals are posted on my channel.

[@ericbeaton7211]

Well Done ! A really nice job |

[@Steve_8341]

Outstanding!!

[@johnpayne299]

[@andrewmarsden1970]

Outstanding.

[@edutaimentcartoys]

nice repaint

[@powersmodelgarage]

I like my Tamiya tools too 👍

[@ploppysonofploppy6066]

Inspiring work, no question. For me though, I'm disappointed in the panel lining on newer kits. Impressively narrow, maybe 0.5mm. But in scale that's 16mm. A Spitfire with a 16mm gap between panels would never be allowed to fly. I'd rather get an old smooth skinned kit, spend a bit on after market enhancing and try to emulate this standard. Then look for excuses when I fail!

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Lol that's 😆 a cool comment

[@sirrugglesby2190]

Superb!

[@gr5535]

Nice KIT 😮 Gritty Realism 🤔 Would Look Cool in a Diorama w the ground crew swarming all over it doing maintenance

[@alianjohnson6035]

good job but why don't you weather the clear plastic cockpit cover?

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

I simply can't

[@derekrawlings1289]

Amazing video as always! What is that clear liquid that you put on the pe parts before painting (tamiya black lid bottle) and why do you do it? A clear primer?

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Metal Primer from Tamiya, thank you for your comment!

[@chrisohara2325]

Nice! 👍

[@andanteconbrio2773]

👏👏👏bravo!

[@simontwitchett672]

Is that spitfire at the beginning in Malta by any chance?

[@nigelsmith7366]

No... It's a mkix not a mkv

[@demco75]

Yes its in the Malta Aviation museum.

[@simontwitchett672]

I thought I recognised it. ​@@demco75

[@simonmowatt]

Is this SAAF pilot Eric Robinson's Spitfire?

[@Davidlongstreet]

How about doing the 1/32 mosquito

[@pauldonnelly1145]

LOVELEY!

[@victacor_0777]

Come Back? 😶

[@antonrudenham3259]

One thing I'll never understand is why these fantastic kits are made in 1/32 scale, couldn't they just make them in 1/35 so that the plethora of kits and accessories available in that scale could be used with them? Is there a solid reason for it?

[@leftpastsaturn67]

Apparently 1/35 scale was an anomoly used only by Japanese manufacturers such as Tamiya, 1/32 was the standard for everyone else. Given the 8% difference in size, some of the figures and accessories from the larger can still be used for the smaller.

[@antonrudenham3259]

@@leftpastsaturn67 Maybe the figures can be passed off as just small guys or teenagers but when you know the size of say a Spitfire and a Jeep and show them together in their respective 1/32 and 1/35 scale the two look kind of wrong, at least to my eyes they do. I didn't know the Tamiya story so thanks for that, so could we say western kits stick to 1/32 out of a sorta snobbishness or 'not made here-ism'?

[@leftpastsaturn67]

@@antonrudenham3259 No, it's more likely that everyone else already had stocks of 1/32 moulds/sculpts etc so they stuck with that scale.

Great video! I've been thinking about playing around with making some build videos as I begin my modelling journey. Any chance of seeing a behind the scenes video on how you do all this? ☺️ I'm super curious how your camera is set up.
