Spettacolare! Complimenti!

[@SNEEPER1980]

Man I am super impressed! You do so much more than most model builders! Nice work with the engine and lights! Weathering looks fantastic!

[@clonefox80]

Thank you for your great comment, it's all about bringing plastic to life for me and thinking about what's the next thing I can do to achieve it. Check out your channel, I know nothing about 'gundam' but I like your work, looks pretty cool.👌

[@SNEEPER1980]

clonefox80 thank you sir! As I appreciate your work and channel! I am going to be doing a few scale model projects in the future, so seeing your work was very inspirational to me . Plus you like doing LED work and other electronic work. Very cool stuff! Keep it up! I look forward to your next project

Is there a video or guide how to add the electric lights. Thanks. Amazing job 👍😎

[@marciotavares4]

Amazing, excellent job. Congratulations.

[@dc5050]

The background music sounds like a forza Motorsport background also great build :)

[@simonvance8054]

WOW. Just an amazing build!.. So awesome with the lights and engine running, that is ridiculously cool.. maybe think about having a pilot in it and ground crew for more realism..you never see planes running with no one in them. Amazing job though...thanks for sharing...really enjoyed seeing this!

[@gsperanza07]

G’day Clonefox, thanks heaps for the reply, genius!! UV strip, WOW , excellent , brilliant idea, if there was an Oscar for modelling, YOU DEFINITELY SHOULD GET ONE. !!!!, you use of lighting and realistic features are so AWESOME, so much enjoyment, thank god for a skilled sharing person such as yourself , Thanks once again and looking forward heaps to your Future post, :) well done !

[@tonybuckingham5071]

Amazing. It seems there is always a bigger, better, more detailed goal to strive for. I would love to be able to get to that level, with the whole diorama scene too. Great job.

[@gsperanza07]

Good afternoon , where and what did you use for the. ‘ information light strips. ‘ as used on your harrier , incredibly well detailed kit , especially the cockpit instrument panel , your an inspiration and well explained , thank you for giving me the idea of using such smart LED lighting didn’t know you could get them as small as what you’ve used , Looking forward to using your suggested lighting effects , if you can help , especially with the ‘ information lights ‘ Thanks and great workmanship, well posted :)

[@clonefox80]

Hey dude,,thanks for watching my vids, Glad that they inspire people to try new things. The formation lights are actually UV activated tape that I cut down to size,,hit them with a UV pen light and they glow for about half an hour. It's easy to find the stuff on eBay, very cheap too. Thanks again dude,,,I've got a new video coming up in a day or two,,1/32 JASDF RF4-E phantom 😉

[@seanerk5kt9]

Dude....that is next level stuff! Really impressive!

Thanks man, this is a re- upload, after it went missing, maybe due to some KZbin bullshitery,,

By far the best model I’ve seen, well done 👍🏻

Thanks for your kind words.

what a job, what a job, Sir.

[@Black-Heart-Actual]

Amazing work!

[@StefenWasilewski]

Good detail, but being a harrier mechanic, these jest would never have that bad of paint condition.... also black landing gear ???and the top and bottom strobe light a link at the same time

[@wiesenbefeuchter]

The cable must come from below. It would look better.

[@Plydrms]

Can you briefly describe your weathering technique? Do you black base then mottle, or just post shade everything?...Its the finest!

[@clonefox80]

Depending on the look of an aircraft, I usually apply 2 or 3 coats of my main colour, starting withe the pure colour, then each application, I lighten up the mix doing thinner mixes each time, when I'm happy I then add some filters ( blue, white, brown,) the blue filter is especially good for modern US navy jets. Then lastly, I apply the dirt effects, I don't seal any of the paint before weathering, I use mainly Tamiya acrylic paints ( flat ) so when the painting is done, I gently sand the whole surface with a soft fine nail sanding stick, very fine grit. This blends the paints more and also polishes the surface slightly, then when applying the enamel washes, I first cover the part in enamel thinner, so the wash doesn't soak into the paint too much. If the wash is applied straight on to flat acrylic, without thinner first, it is a lot more difficult to blend. When all is done the effect of the enamel over the acrylic also leaves a difference in texture, like on real aircraft there seems to be some ( damp ) sections, particularly between the panels on the spine of an aircraft

[@speedbird983]

How did you do the formation lights? What circuitry did you use for the lights? Awesome work

[@clonefox80]

The formation lights are phosphorescent sticky tape,,as for the rest of the circuit,, I used 555 timer chip, with a decade counter, to get the strobe kick effect. The motor in the engine, is a 6 geared micro motor..all run from, 6-9 v adapter.

[@sharjeelahmad7462]

Its fantastic amazibg looking aircraft. How do you make formation lights

[@clonefox80]

Thanks man,, the formation lights are actually made with UV reactive sticky tape, glows in the dark after activation.

And I thought I was good for making the vector thrust nozzles move, but I gotta hand it to you, you've done far better.

[@goodtips8973]

Looks amazing! Is it yours build? Who is the Kinemaster? BTW do you have some electrical connection diagram for lamps? Thank you for sharing.

[@seatownpits617]

What kind of material did you use for the ejection seat? Thinking of doing the same thing.

[@juliocesarplata793]

Hi! Your Jobs are very awesome, could you help me? I have the same preferences of you, modern aircraft 1/32, and I also use to add some electronic to the model, but I could not resolver the problem of the reflective lights, (that green/White lines), could you help me with that tip? How did you do it?

[@juliocesarplata793]

@john mcintosh thanks, yeah, he does not response hehehe, he will die with the secret, thanks for the tip, I will also try it

[@clonefox80]

Close boys,,, It's actually , UV activated tape, you can buy it in sheet form, or on a roll.. Sorry for the delay. P S. I tried the humbrol paint, but it's no where near as effective.

Complimenti vorrei anch'io fare un impianto del genere su un modello in 1/32 o 1/24 come e Dove potrei trovare spiegazioni dato che non mi intendo di elettronica ?

Does the canopy move?

[@clonefox80]

Yes, it has magnets along the bottom of the frame, and a small metal strip along the cockpit sill .

[@alfiemarsh1774]

@@alfiemarsh1774 thanks for your interest, the flaps and engine nozels move, so do the verticle and horizontal stabilisers, retractable wheels and magnetic sliding canopy.
