Gx 2 black rocks mate!🤔 I used to be scurrrred of NMF attempts but not anymore thanks to better metallic paint choices!😁 Jman

That's a beauty

Hi there! Wonderful kit you've built! However, I think it lacks one important detail: Mk. 7 nuclear bomb on the central point between the fuel tanks. Nuclear bomb delivery was the primary role of F-101A/C after their withdrawal from SAC escort duties (which was very short after the first F-101As were commissioned).

Looks cool. ✈

👏

Nicely done, all over any colour can be a challenge to make look real. I think I need to off load my Italeri version......

Magnificent as always Grant. I'm currently plugging away on the Airfix 1/48 Sea Fury. I'd be real happy if it turns out 1/4 as good as your builds.

Hey, where is this buoy from? company? is it 3d printed? Nice work.

The exhaust area looks great, which ain't easy. It's all about subtlety to make it look realistic.

Watching the video brought back memories of riding in the back of variouse hueys. Also you've got me thinking about purchasing this kit for a build. Got to think more about it. Maybe later in the year. Good job I truly like the progress and color choices.

Looks very noice!

I just purchased this kit and the other one with the cockpit towards the tail(forgot the model designation). I built the normal tail version also. Great kits. Fitment is nice

The Huey looks like it'll be a pretty good kit. Reminds me back to the 90's and before when 5sqn was based at Fairbairn here in the ACT. Was bloody impressive when they had squadron navex's and a heap of them were flying to and from base (a bit like Apocalypse Now). My good mate who was a flight fitter with the RAAF at that time gave me a guided tour it was impressive too. Hope Trumpeter also brings out the H model Huey too.

Got some 1/72 hueys in the stash, love helicopters. Had a couple AH1 Cobras i had built. Their gone now. A couple little boy (nephews) got ahold of them and they ended up crashing and burning. Found them in the backyard. Oh well, such is life. I saw a review of the Arifix 1/72 scale Wessex, that looks like a sweet little kit. Enjoy the UH1-B build.

I understand your frustration an loss of interest. Ive experienced that with a number of Revell kits myself. A couple are mules now. I try to stay away from Revell honestly. Anyway. I did enjoy the video build, and i like the end result. Thank you for sharing.

Lt. (j.g.) is Lieutenant Junior Grade, the lowest officer rank in the USN. It's equivalent rank to second lieutenant in the Army, Marines and Air Force. McCuskey (fighter pilot - F4F) and McCluskey (SBD pilot) were two different pilots, both participating in the Battle of Midway. But, the pilot with direct hits on two Japanese carriers, both of them sinking, was SBD pilot Dick Best.

Despite all the pitfalls, your Scorpion turned out great.

Nice work mate 👍✈️🇳🇿

well done looks like a great job you,ve done..nice looking plane...shame it fights you all the way...i would of stalled and moved onto another project....again well done and congratulations...it does look a beauty..

Looking good so far. Glue the fuselage together first and then put the wings on.

Nice progress

Give you credit for hanging in there…..it’s fighting you all the way 🤨

The problem with these reviews is that they all look good in the box the fit is what I want to know

Great review mate..Looks a nice kit of a wonderful Helicopter..All the best 🇬🇧🇳🇿👍

Nice progress so far

I admire your bravery. Kitty Hawk kits are not that good, and are filled with fit issues. I built the old Monogram kit of this jet, and even though it has raised panel lines, and soft details, it fits together pretty good.

WHAT? No raised rivets :(

Looking good. Those scrapers you have, never seen them before, well I've seen you use one of or both maybe can't remember exactly. Anyway need to find me some. Thanks for the video.

Cheers Cobber

Kit excelente!! Espetacular 🌟

Ingles no por favor

It's a big bugger for the scale. Looking good so far as per all of your builds however.

Im into amphibians or flying boats. Flew many times on an a old Grumman amphibian when i lived and worked in Indonesia. Pretty exciting first time taking off or landing in one. I dont believe ive ever seen this kit before. Will be looking for one this year. My wife is going to shoot me though. Thanks for the video

Nice review Grant - this goes together very nicely, I've built mine up to assembly stage, just wondering if I'll detail up the cockpit or just do it OOB. Doog's Models has done some over the top but really cool upgrades to his TBD, including a 3D printed torpedo...looking forward to seeing yours!

wow shes looking good nice work keep them coming mate

right on mate way to get r done keep them coming

Just watched another build of this kit and he made longer engine ring bulkhead struts to get a fit, looks like it works on CAD but not in RPP ( real plastic parts). How does this happen? Great build build and information going through the build, many thanks.

Another beautiful flying boat and this time much more colourful and interesting looking. Might have to go get one of these. Thanks for the review.

Its a monster!

Thanks for tip about the oxygen bottles and the opposing panel or bulkhead piece, and the weight distribution. I've been interested in this kit since it was announced. It will go well with a Minicraft kit of Privateer I have. Which a bear to build. Thanks for the video.

It was what was available (and still is) in 1/48. Rescribing is worth it ( and yes, VERY time consuming) but hey, this is why we build. I wasted a LOT of time rescribing Monogram's A-26, then ICM released their 1/48....oh well. All part of our game. Dane

Ah ha! I built this kit a little while back. It was the older kit before it was reboxed etc. I left the raised panel lines, and built the kit out of the box as is. It is a nice display model of an unusual aircraft. Have a good time with your build.

Here's a method I've used to deal with raised lines that were sanded away. Tape either side of the raised line, leaving a very narrow space in between where the line was sanded away. Spread some putty in that space. Let the putty dry and remove the tape. Raised line is restored.

There was only one float based Devastator ever existed. It was used for torpedoes trials on Taho lake before WW2 and its early years. So there're no other schemes needed :) What about the kit: Trumpeter, Asian lottery with 50/50 good/shit ratio... This one is 50/50 inside itself :) It has prominent geometry issues but they can be healed with aftermarket bits.

Back in the 1980's, when I bought this kit, the red stripings on the upper wing were NOT parallel as shown in the artwork. It was a sunburst (Like 1/2 of the Japanese Battle Ensign), 1/4 on each wing with the engine pod left silver. But it was a nice little kit, even if typical of Italeri of that era.

Very good video,that italian planes are beautifull. I love hidroplanes. I´m building the Beriev 6 Madge Russian hidroplane 1/72 from Revell 1991 old tool. it´s a monster 46cm wing span and 32cm length. It was used in anti submarine operations and coast patrol . greetings from Portugal and Happy New Year. 🙋‍♂

Thanks for posting….those floats look massive..impressive sized kit..cheers.

I love all the flying boat kit reviews. Looking forward to the builds.

Great review ! get ya skates on and build this one lol !

Nice review of a classic kit , i like the way you do these reviews without all the nonsense seen on most similar model you tube sites , keep it up cheers
