Hi janrabie1890, please see image inset in upper left corner at 12:43. 🙂

Hi Walter, thanks. When using the Tamiya products I try to thin the gloss by anywhere from 20%-50% depending on what I'm doing. For the flat clear XF-86 (which is almost like syrup) I try to go 50% thinned for airbrushing. I have 4 model projects on deck currently with a WWII era bomber at #3 in the pattern. 👍

@@MaxAfterburner learned that from my grandpa lol he works with some paint for models and he tells me all abt them

Hi thomastims9583, thanks so very much for the comments and welcome aboard! 🥳😀

Hi 1997cjt, thanks, and you're welcome! 😉

Hey TheShornak, thanks for watching! 😀

Hi fixxzitt, that's amazing, it must have been a labor of love 🚀👨‍🚀

Hi thebigman170, that's terrific to hear! Have fun with your model build of the F-105G, and thanks 👍🙂

Hi amazonamazon4872, just for the beginning quote. I wanted a voice different than mine 😏

Ok going again through the video now I see you used tamiya colors and then applied a gloss coat before decals and weathering :D

Hi EduWushu, no worries. I would say, however, that oil paints do not react with the acrylic paint as long as the type of thinner used such as lighter fluid is mixed in the oil paint. So, a gloss coat would not be necessary.

Hi EduWushu, glad the video may be of help to you. The cotton usually doesn't adhere since the airbrush paint layer is micro thin, but it can leave some fibers behind in spaces that need to be plucked out for sure. I've noticed that other modelers use pieces of rubber foam instead which would alleviate the cotton strands problem. 😎

Hi Marcel, glad you enjoyed the build and the memories! 😄

Hi foorcscale, it's been awhile, but my recollection is that it didn't fit well to begin with causing the mismatch. 🤔

@@MaxAfterburner You can see in your assembly that you left a gap under the back bulk head. I have not had this problem with the back bulk head installed fully down and into its locating hole. There is in fact a little float once the assembly is in the fuselage.

Hey tonycrook1353, thank you kindly! 😎

Hi greenheartjg54, 👍

That'll be quite a transformation for them 😉

@@MaxAfterburner indeed. There will be more to them than meets the eye.

Hi andershagensen7588, I made my own masking templates and did simple measurements to align the emblems on the bow and stern of the model. 📏📐

Hi Elitecorsair-hn3sv, glad you liked it 😁

Hi jimmclaughlin2728, I found the thickness about standard, but some of the crane guides for the cables required way too many bends! 😲

Hi cvarmit1716, thanks! I hope to do another A-10 one day in the grey paint scheme. ✈️👍

Hi emreistutan8420, for the Tamiya acrylics, I use about 75%-80% paint with a corresponding 25% -20% thinner ratio when airbrushing 🙂

Hi PantherCreekPlantation, thanks very much! The Bismarck video which is now over 5 years old has become my most watched video daily once again - and for many months now! ⛴️😄

Hi ntvtxn62, if you mean the book "In Harm's Way" by Doug Stanton, I do have a copy and have read it. It is such a tragically rich story and so unimaginable that any of the survivors could go on afterwards. 😞

Hi joelkarlonas1553, the extensive PE parts sets out there can certainly up the budgetary cost on a project for sure! 😲

Hi billhosko7723, thank you so much! 🛰️👨‍🚀

Hi ECLEAT, I can put that on my list. But, I'm not sure if YT is still trying to find ways to demonetize/delete videos that have anything to do with "that country" in their unpredictable judgements. At any rate, like/comment/subscribe to keep the channel alive. 🙂

@@MaxAfterburner You have to build 31 МИГ, that's your destiny, joke.Аlready subscribed to the channel.

Hi SpringHawk, great suggestion! I sometimes worry, however, that the look of the decals are too bright or cartoonish looking in some kit offerings. Your technique sounds very useful if the decals look more realistic though. 👍

Hi 140289EP, I just mixed in a little bit of the talc powder into the brown paint, swirled it around until I got a consistency that I liked, and then simply brushed it on. 🖌️

Hi SP-bf3ld, glad you enjoyed it! 😁

Hi ciesinsk, 🥳🤣

Hi Ballerfella2007, glad you liked it. I'm happy I was able to find matching audio tracks to help augment the Thud clips. ✈️

Hi rustyshackleford1114, it seems like the time has passed for such a set. Maybe a scratch built project awaits someone out there !🛰️👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀

Hi nameflumm5270, I don't have any digital files to send. To make the templates, I used the paint guide sheets provided within the kit and enlarged them with a photo copier. You can see what ratios I used to create the masks in the upper left corner of the screen at 14:44 in the video. I hope that helps! 😀

@@MaxAfterburner no worries about the files thanks anyways👍

Hi tyeguthrie1430, I'm so glad that you found the video and that it will be useful for your A-10 build! All the Best for a successful completion of your kit 🥳

@@MaxAfterburner couple of questions if you do not mind 1 what tool is it you use to do the extra detailing ? And 2 this is awkward to eplain but part of main undercarriage i cannot see or workout how it fits the paart number is C4 , It appears to go towards the very bottom of wheel strut ,not sure if you can remember doing it yourself as i know its some years since you built your model many thanks Tye

Hi Tye, you can use a scribe or a mini saw blade that will turn those panel lines into depressions instead of having raised panel lines on this A-10 kit. In this case, I used a Tamiya photo etch fine craft saw. You can lay a piece of plastic embossing tape used for lettering as a straight edge guide on the model. For part II of your question: If you look at step #9 on your instruction manual there is a better view of how C4 is supposed to sit on the landing gear parts, in particular the left man gear in this instance. Hope this all helps.

@@MaxAfterburner Thankyou Max Massive help really appreciate your help All the best Tye

Hi hansvonmannschaft9062, thanks so very much for the kind feedback and I'm glad you liked this Bismarck build presentation! 😎😄

Hi madhatterstudios966, thanks for the tip, I'll have to try that sometime! Glad you like the channel's presentation style 😀

Hey michealbohmer2871, gone, but the F-111C is not forgotten! 😊

Hi nachocdbz, thanks so much, glad you like them! Due to a number of considerations the model corner is currently on hiatus with nothing formally on the bench at this time. ✌️

Hi vernonsaayman9741, it's been said that the Bismarck Anti-aircraft defenses were built with other advanced types of enemy airplanes in mind and not the low and slow flying Swordfish.

Hi chesterlouis8361, according to the US Navy, the E-2C had initial test flights from converted E-2As in 1971 with the first actual production E-2C having its 1st flight on the September 23, 1972 date that I noted in the video. The E-2C later became officially operational in 1973. Thanks for your service! ✌️⛴️😊

@chesterlouis8361 -- I looked into the crash you described and it occurred on October 16, 1968. It was an E-2A from VAW-123 numbered #733 coming in for a landing when it boltered and went off the angle deck into the water. The three crew members lost were: LCDR Paul Martin Wright Operations Officer, LCDR James Leo Delaney, and LTJG Howard Booth Rutledge. Two were rescued: LTJG Frank J. Frederick and AT1 David E. Carpenter.

Hi JamesFolkers, thanks! I hope your A-10 build goes great! 😀

Hi LungsMcGee, we'll paint the next Space:1999 Eagle model in that grasshopper green color! 🦗😉
