Tamiya 1/48 BF-109E3 Build Part 1

In this episode, I try to get my mojo back by building an easy kit. Come join me for the fun.

[@crusader5989]

I like how you don’t rush the filming, or skip any major parts, letting us the viewers, fully understand your technique. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@bubbapipe]

Hey, thanks for the coffee brother. Great video, missed your videos

[@franklinlewis6059]

Long time no see. Mojo thing happens for time to time, glad to see you back. A side note, even if you're just messing around at the bench film it & post, it's all gold.

[@michaelnaven213]

Glad you are back. A lot of modelers are having this very same Mojo issue. Signs of the time I quest.

[@Davshady]

The ca+metallic pigment is really magic, thanks for the awesome tip!

[@romulusmare]

So glad you are back and very happy with the new detailed format! Thank you!

[@paulburdette]

Glad you're back. Awesome video as usual. !

[@judygarnhum2992]

Please show your hobby area...thanks from Judy in Nova Scotia, Canada.. You explain your work so well!

[@t.travelerjg1908]

The Tamiya 109s are a simple and fun kit that build into a decent representation of the iconic fighter. I enjoy your videos and am looking forward to part 2!

[@neilharrison1420]

thats a amazing watch,thanks for sharing.

[@defdef6230]

Glad to see you back! Cheers from Argentina...

[@markusv311]

Great to have you back here, missed it. And with a german WWII plane, always nice paint schemes, you will make a beauty out of it

[@Loko-wl7fo]

Dang dude! SO glad you are back. Missed you. Can't wait for more of your videos!

[@michaellaubach3824]

I totally understand about finding your mojo again. About 6 months ago, I was working on a Revell P-61 Black Widow 1/48 scale. There were fit issues, tail dragging even after I added a ton of nose weight, fit issues in the front wheel well, etc. I was just about to start putting primer on it and I tripped and fell right on top of it. There was no fixing that mess! I waited a few weeks and started a kit that was simpler, and very well engineered. It helped me to find my Mojo again.

[@danielbritton8588]

You said exactly what I was going to mention. The Me-109 is like a snap kit to this channel. I am sure it will be one of the finest 109's built.

[@dekon70]

Great video as always! Sean your videos are always informative. I always pick up some tip from your videos.

[@billhill9161]

Your CA mixture is the bomb. Use it all the time.

[@brandtall9639]

Totally get it. I've been working in the off and on mode for a while now. Good to see you're back at it.

[@treyzmodels422]

Just found your channel and sub'd . Great content! Looking forward to part 2 of your Emil👍

[@jimletizia1942]

You da man. Missed you!! you never do anything that’s bad so mojo or no mojo you still got it brother

[@michaelstrange4885]

Good god man......where have you been....great to have you back....KZbin’s been a bit bland in your absence!

[@VNAV_PTH]

Good to see you again! Building Maverick's F/A-18 Super Hornet from Revell as I watch this 👌 Thanks for uploading and hope to see you soon again! PS, I love your F-14 from Top Gun. It's on my bucket list to build 🙂

[@seananthonyegan3395]

Welcome back sadly missed the King of slurping

[@citadelgrad87]

Great to see you back at the bench. Mojo comes and goes. For me, summers in the currently un AC garage are a no go, but its starting to cool off. I heed to install some ac and get production up to wartime standards.

[@allanrichards3752]

Over the summer months I don't do any modelling. I don't like the idea of being hidden away indoors when the sun is shining outside and there are opportunities to have a beer in the garden. I buy kits though which builds anticipation for the colder months. I think breaks are very necessary to keep the enthusiasm level. When I build kits now, I often have an initial session of gluing halves together, things like bombs drop tanks, missiles, wheels etc. as the glue can have several days to dry before the parts are needed. I use CA glue as a filler almost all of the time as I hate the soft fillers that never seem to dry and sand properly. CA glue is a lot harder than most plastic, but I have bought some really expensive small files and they cut really nicely compared to the poorly made Chinese stuff. This enables the CA filler to be filed back really accurately so you don't take the plastic away and leave the CA proud with ghost seams.

[@matk4731]

I know the no mojo feeling that’s for sure. Haven’t built a model in 12 months. I should build my Tamiya P-47. Cool video thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃

[@Armourworkshop]

Yay my favorite guy

[@wallywallnut9444]

Great modeling skill's, love your finish models ! In this video you said you couldn't find the pilot from the kit . A while back I watched your video titled "Adding a Wire Antenna with EZ Line". In the comments you replied to a member who asked , were did you get the pilot ? Your response was " I stole it from a BF-109 kit". I thought that was kind of funny that you would be looking now for that pilot. And by the way, I'm glad your back in the groove and healthy !

[@seanerk5kt9]

Lol. That’s awesome.

[@MarkRenn]

A month and a half? I've been out for about 15 years. I keep saying I want to get started again, but I keep putting it off. So, watching you build is cathartic.

[@tonygary7611]

👍👍👍

[@MisterGsWorkbench]

I find that to get my mojo going, I need to have a subject I'm hot for. Simplicity helps though...

[@briansonnenfelt7125]

I find it ironic that you used a rosie the riveter on a German WWII aircraft…welcome back bud.

[@artmodeller6345]

Good afternoon. I really like your work. I find a lot of interesting things for myself. I have a question. At 40:04 you wipe the model with a sticky cloth, I can't understand what kind of cloth it is that removes lint from a paper towel. You can give a link to see how it looks new. Thank you.

[@seanerk5kt9]

Do a search for tack cloth

[@roninnz704]

Sorry to go over old ground, as this is the first time I've seen one of your videos. But what is the metallic pigment mix you refer to? Cheers.

[@seanerk5kt9]

Here’s a video on it kzbin.info/www/bejne/omiwiIuwmptosMU

[@Dancing-Brush]

nice work, Which is better, Eduard or Tamya? I want to hear your opinion.

[@seanerk5kt9]

Never built an Eduard kit

[@roninnz704]

Tamiya in my opinion. Nose angle is a little off on the Eduard kit. The Tamiya's main issue is that the rear fuselage is a little short (overall about 2mm). Ironically, Eduard is about 2mm too long. But that issue can be fixed with some good skills if it bothers you enough to do something about it.

[@robertjensen1438]

Just a comment for the algorithm

[@rangerstl07]

Wanted to warn those beginners who don't know that kicker will attack paint as well. It causes it to crack and check. Be careful with it.

[@seanerk5kt9]

What type of paint? I rarely use it on a painted surface but have on occasion while attaching ez-line for rigging or landing gear parts and have never noticed any issues with Tamiya acrylics.

[@SteveZhangRealEstate]

what is that orange pad called

[@seanerk5kt9]

Infini cutting mat
