Hi KZbin,
In this video I'm building a Kinetic F-18 Hornet VFC-12 Aggressor K48088. I will be using mainly Mr Hobby, Tamiya, VMS, Ammo by Mig and Abtielung 502 products.

I have not been paid by any of the companies mentioned to promote their products. All products have been paid for by me personally and promotion is for information purposes. However I am a hobby shop owner and I do sell most of the products mentioned to the public.
If you are down in the South West UK, you are always very welcome to come in and see me at the shop. scalemodelshed.co.uk/visit-us/
I hope you enjoy the video.
Happy modelling

Between your builds, your explanations and your growing business I cant help but roar my approval. What a fantastic business model...showing everyone exactly how you use the products you carry. The fact that the builds and techniques are front and center makes it so much sweeter. I wish there was someone like you in Canada. I would have no problem supporting their efforts.

[@criadusmodeler]

A spectacular job 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@HammerheadModelMaking]

Excellent build and video, this will be most useful when I go to build my Kinetic CF-188 later this year. Cheers!

[@stuartbremner9680]

Very nice work. Look forward to seeing your next project 👍

[@HobbyLinkInternational]

That is one beautiful build!

[@goodtips8973]

Very nice indeed! This could great look with an Aggressor Su-35BM (902).

[@simonleach6632]

Beautiful work andy, worth the wait for sure, but looking forward to the next one!

[@childofmarxandcoke]

Glad the store is doing well, I've been doing my bit online :D

[@ScalerDan]

I don't know what I like more, the shop or the model? Both look great...good luck in business and thanks for sharing.

[@tony8074]

[@scaleffect]

Your level of detail and commitment remains unmatched on youtube. Thanks for taking the time to share your hard work as always.

[@markegipto1462]

Should see plasmo, not that I'm detracting from Mr. Shed. Plasmo has some massive projects with insane details

[@MultiMilliemoo]

Agree Plasmo and NightShift have the balance right.

[@robertlundstrom8061]

Wow, what beautiful shop!

[@Greg-et2dp]

Scale model shed your utube videos are awesome my friend

[@paulhargreaves1497]

Wow! Tricky masking paint plus great weathering..........nice.

[@easybraze]

Excellent build as always. Looking forward to the next one

[@mazinman3]

Nice job Andy! I love this paint scheme-I had not seen it before & I’m retired US Naval aviation. Your weathering is bang on.

[@scalemodelling76]

Saw this bad boy in the shop on Saturday looks incredible ! Look forward to the next one !

[@ep1981]

What an incredible small business, a great credit to you and your passion. Lovely to see - too many shops of this nature are closing (Hattons, most notably!) and it's lovely to see a new venture.

[@graphitegems]

Impressive model and painting.❤❤

[@scottrogers511]

Another belter Andy. Excellent video as always. I love watching your videos while working on my own models. Very inspirational and helpful. Can’t wait for the next one.

[@lesthiele4921]

Absolutely superb build and a extremely good camo scheme, congratulations on a job very well done, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia

[@willwoods6466]

Congratulations on your Hobby Shop, great build. I have the Kinetic 1/48 RCAF CF-188 from the 2017 Demo team sitting in my stash. Bev and I were fortunate enough to see it do it's thing. You have inspired me to get at it, Thanks.

[@septiccalling8341]

Magnificent...... and very striking. Beautifully done 👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻

[@allanbyallas7546]

You are a clever bugger! Fantastic works as always. 👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

[@joncrane7117]

Another fantastic build using products from your brilliant shop!

[@yanbertrand4541]

Fan, ever... ! Thanks for sharing Andy...

[@tonymacdonell8072]

Navy's premier Aggressor Squadron. Great squadron, great people, best duty of my career.

[@charlesemerson6763]

Lovely piece of work Andy. As always, your work is a joy to behold.

[@gerard7495]

Gute Arbeit. Top danke

[@alastairmcgregor579]

Nice job looks stunning. never built a kinetic kit, I have heard mixed reviews. The shop looks awesome wish I had one near me like that!! All my favourite paints and kit brands in one place!

[@paulhargreaves1497]

....the nose area is tricky ( as Andy mentioned), but the worst thing about the kit are the instructions (on my earlier release)....best to download a later version from scalemates. Otherwise it's a great kit.

[@JASHVEER22]

You love what you do. Trust me Sir most of sir are not lucky or even gutsy to make a living out of our hobbies. Nice shop. If I'm there one day, I will visit. Keep entertaining us.

[@good2us1]

Awesome build! Thanks for sharing.

[@cdrocrossdiscovery]

Very impressive setup. Truly a one-stop shop.

[@MrFelipefelop]

Simply stunning,your skills,i e your business and personal skills go beyond what many hope for ,let alone do,i can only reccommend you to many other like minded people,its a much appreciated vlog and long awaited. Thank you,i dont know you but i feel i do ❤👍

[@neilhaas]

Scale model shed very nice jet love jets nice work. ❤❤😊😍🤩😀😁

[@Psychlist1972]

Nice shop!

[@ChallingerScaleModels]

amazing work! wish your shop was closer

[@MultiMilliemoo]

A perfect balance of description and detail. A joy to watch. Wish your shop was nearer London. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻

[@Poopster4U]

Awesome build!

[@darthhokum]

Perfect 👍👍👍

[@trstreet4727]

What a great looking shop! Glad that my few online orders so far are helping to build up this business!

[@essamahmod]

Really nice shop good luck I wish I can find academy 1:32 F/A-18C this kit is hard to find

[@davidrosen5137]

That's a miserable kit, but you transformed it into a gorgeous Legacy Hornet!

[@fletsepopje]

A miserable kit ? I've build the Monogram, Hasegawa, Hobbyboss and Kinetic Legacy Hornet. The Kinetic kit is by far the best out there at the moment. It needs a bit of TLC to put it together, but for me that's what modelling is all about.

[@louwvandermerwe178]

Beautiful shop! Give Hannant"s uphill🤣

[@xWILZTAx]

Superb job, the camo is amazing. Would.lovw to visit the store but too far away unfortunately. Good luck with the business.

[@andreaselesky9970]

Great build an video.

[@joellecompte6809]

Well done my friend. I was always hesitant to buy aggresor jet kit but now......I might try one.

[@olafwustehoff2648]

Daumen hoch ✨️👍💯

[@Nohorizon1]

That putty over the canopy is one of those moments where im amazed and feel like an idiot at the same time. Wish i thought of it your a genius

[@cchristner]

Beautiful work! I do wonder why drop tanks and weapons are weathered so heavily on aircraft. Those things are brand new when installed and are only used once, so they shouldn't weather at all. Or am I missing something?

[@DanielGomez-io5bx]

You have inspired me, I will need to add oils to my future aircraft builds - nicely done!

[@PCDan]

Superb!

[@jamesgriffiths3176]

Such a nice build! Thanks for sharing.

[@BrodieD]

Awesome build

[@collinmccallum]

wow!

[@thescaletherapy]

Really great job!! Greetings from mexico!!

[@ferdinandmallari4931]

The best F18 I've seen so far... Hope your business grows more to inspire other model builders watching your videos...

[@edutaimentcartoys]

amazing color repainting

[@user-cc7ih8cp2i]

Super painted Model ,like it very much

[@Ragazzo556]

stunning work mate! I wish you all the best with your shop.

[@raymadani270]

The best job ever.

[@johntreloar8203]

Great build Andy, did the kit not come with armament?

[@Cyborgman3000]

Amazing work. Did you need to seal the oil paint weathering?

[@BigEvilTwids]

Thanks! If you don't mind me asking how you decide when to use sprue glue versus a putty for filling gaps? Wish I still lived in Somerset, your shop looks great.

[@ScaleModelShed]

Hi, i guess the main factor is how accessible the area is, sprue goo is self levelling as well, so makes clean up a little easier. Not great for filling larger gaps though as it tends to sink into them before it dries. A

[@angelohernandez6060]

I just don't get modelers that wear gloves. I need to feel the kit. It seems whenever I've tried it I tend to drop parts and sometimes the kit more often. And grease from my hands doesn't really hinder the build. I have never had problems with finishes on a kit even though I don't wear gloves. So why?

[@user-cu8jq2vx1r]

11:50 i notice you have a nice aircraft stand. May i know what brand and name of the stand?

[@batworker]

Great video, personally I find the music distracting and would be fine with just dead air if you’ve not got any actual modelling noise from what you’re doing. But that’s only a personal preference not a stylistic comment or critique 😺

[@jakegriffiths590]

After watching your store walk through, then remembering that I am in Canada… kinda hurt me, if I’m being honest 😂

[@NyteStalker89]

Caaaaan you do this kind of vid for the Miniart P-47D-25 Advanced kit? Every video I've seen on here(yt in general) has been of the basic kit.

[@user-ns2iv6ip3e]

are there any decals for this F-18 paint scheme in 1:72?

[@beano9343]

I laugh how everyone uses gloves cause you get less feel. But I see they are a benefit cause you don't get oil from your skin ruining a finish

[@Greg-et2dp]

Scale Model shed my hobbies are painting pictures and listening to shortwave and ssb iam thinking about getting my grms license and mybe my ham license some time my friend

[@user-te6ut3iq1m]

Gift for me the address shop please thank very much

[@davidcole333]

I have loved every video you have ever made. Until this one This one didn't have the heart. Felt forced and like you were disinterested.
