Tamiya 1/48 BF-109 E3 Build Part 3

I finish up the mojo build in this award winning episode.

[@seanh4854]

👍🏻👏👏 Can't wait for the P-51b build

[@the-primered-thumb]

Crackin mojo builder, if you want something fairly stress free, tamiya's ya boy 😉👍

[@kudukilla]

I personally put down a semigloss coat for oil work; split the difference between a flat and gloss.

[@tedbriscoe6649]

Mojo? Sounds to me like a good cigar and a stiff shot of whiskey would take care of that!

[@Maddog-nb9vu]

Looks like your MOJO is back!

[@billhubbard2667]

it looks amazing. Albeit, a bit frustrating to see that kind of quality when, according to you, your mojo is on temporary leave. Thanks a million for showing us the tips and tricks to make this hobby even more enjoyable. My models aren't in the same league as yours.... but they're waaaay better than the ones from before I found your channel. Thanks, Sean

[@steves1112000]

I smiled when you held up the p51-b. Another good MOJO build. Enjoy.

[@davidharris733]

I'm hugely impressed with your results on this kit. I'm not keen on the accompanying dialogue to the video but I'd say this is one of the best early 109 models I've ever seen. 10/10.

[@markusv311]

turned out veeeery nice. great job as always

[@thomasbell6655]

The P38 by Tamiya is an absolute joy to build. The 109 looks stunning BTW, glad to hear your getting your mojo back.

[@mikegallagher9909]

You do beautiful work, you’re too hard on yourself.

[@jdmodels1968]

Another excellent build 👍

[@neilharrison1420]

thats a brilliant build .

[@treyzmodels422]

Emil came out great🏆👍

[@michaelnaven213]

I have about 50 models that I just can’t seem to finish. My interest wonders to a new kit.

[@michaelbuchholz2164]

Perfekt. The best work i have seen yet. Most of the modellers are overaging their models. You did it just right.

[@rowdymodeler1804]

The P38G is the dope. Beautiful kit and a joy to put together. They now have the P38J with Richard Bong's markings for "Marge". Have fun!!

[@GregsModels]

Amazing 109 👍

[@rangerstl07]

Can't wait to see what's new from Primed!

[@michaelnaven213]

Great work!

[@ironspike171]

Sean, yet another very tasteful build! I think thats your strength, beside the obvious coffee slurping 😂 As you reference the book: „everyone“ can nowdays get to know all kind of tricks, but i has to be in the right amount. Its easy to overdo things. You find always a pleasing combo!

[@Skeeterguy24]

Please know that your work is alaways appreciated!

[@joeokabayashi8669]

I greatly appreciate the tip of using oils to achieve panel lines and center fading on the panels. I hate mottling with an airbrush - too tedius for me.

[@TJRohyans]

Another outstanding piece of work! Bravo! Boy, that book ain't cheap! $70+ on Amazon.

[@madazza72]

Another great build awesome weathering really enjoyed this one keep up the great work. Thats some good sippin🤣

[@t.travelerjg1908]

Another great episode! Thanks for sharing your weathering techniques. Looking forward to your next 2 kit builds.

[@richardroberts6101]

Awesome looking 109 look forward to seeing the P38 they say she is a beauty to build

[@richelias2973]

Nice job, looks great. Looking forward to the upcoming builds. Thanks

[@dekon70]

Great tutorial on oil washing! Thanks for sharing your technique.

[@mattdaugherty7865]

I agree, the final steps with my builds are the hardest to work through! I feel my patience has been all used up!

[@t.travelerjg1908]

Been there many times too; just want to get it done...

[@tonygary7611]

Outstanding work and looks like a safer way to do panel lines less chance of ruining finish

[@matk4731]

I think it’s looks fantastic. Not over done. I might get a couple of simple Tamiya kits to try get my mojo back. I have that P-38F/G also. I think the F/G stands for F#$%en Good kit 😜. Look forward to that build. That looks like a good book a review would be cool. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃

[@danielbritton8588]

I have that exact P-51B. Still in stash.

[@toddw6716]

You da man

[@robertjensen1438]

Just a comment for the algorithm

[@user-ny3sl6kc1g]

Вагався між tamiya і eduard, взяв eduard 109e і P38H від tamiya дуже класно зробили, чекаю з нетерпінням як будете збирати.

[@tomazpravdic331]

Hello, how do you get that great finish on model ? Somehow I'm not able to get such gloss, semi gloss or flat finished. I'm using tamiya, mr hobby or mrpaint colours...what ratio paint/thinner are you using ?

[@seanerk5kt9]

I spray at about 12 psi and mix my paints pretty thin. I don’t have a typical ratio as sometimes I want it thicker or thinner depending on the color or look that im going for. The real key is to wet sand. Wet sand using a 4000 or 6000 grit polishing cloth starting with the primer and then after the main paint layer.

[@tomazpravdic331]

@@seanerk5kt9 thank you... You always do wet sanding? Prior gloss coat

[@seanerk5kt9]

@@tomazpravdic331 most of the time. I use Tamiya acrylics which will almost always be at least slightly grainy after being sprayed. Using the 4000 grit sanding cloth it smooths away that slight graininess

[@tomazpravdic331]

@@seanerk5kt9 thank you.. with enamels I had never had any problems.. but recently i switch to acrilic colors and have this isse with gloss/semi/flat coat...
