This will be a channel dedicated to discussing plastic model kit building. I will be doing brief reviews of kits I am going to build, as well as talking about products and techniques I will be using.
I will be focusing on beginners, so I will be trying to be as informative and non-technical, as possible.
i will also talk about my background in the hobby and try and be somewhat entertaining at times.

Great work !
Friendly greetings to you.....Brett! As a viewer, love the bit size 20min episode's, just the right length to ones attention.🤓👍
Hi Brett, I did not have the ejection pin mark issue at 28:48 that you had. I have built the M21 Mortar Carrier and the M3A2 Personnel Carrier in the last couple of weeks, and neither one of them had an ejection pin mark on that part. Maybe I was lucky, or you were unlucky? Either way, great to watch you build them too 👍
Hi Brett, I just watched all 5 of your venerable Revell 1/48 F-15 video in one straight shot! Well, I did skip here and there..... Too bad it did not get finished. It's serves as great inspiration to me, especially the joint between the front section and the fuselage. I saved the episodes in my go-to list. Now I have the knowledge and courage to face that beast again.....
Hi Brett. The artwork on the underside of the box is awesome. Do you happen to know if this was commonplace with this particular brand?
This is my first Tristar kit, but I think the underside artwork was a common thing.
Hi Brett, Very nice indeed.👍😎
Thanks, Lloyd!
Cockpit has some detail. Pilot looks good!
Tristar made some good quality kits and figures, shame they went under. I have their Panzer 1 with interior but havent got the courage yet to build it. A lot of tiny parts...
I have a built a couple of the Marders, Tamiya versions im afraid. Ive never built anything from Tri-Star, though looking at the parts it looks like a quality kit. Looking forward to your build sequence. Enjoy!
Should be a lot of fun (minus all the pe and tiny tiny parts haha). Can't wait to see it. Tristar was very Dragon-y for it's time and now all the molds are with Hobby Boss/Trumpeter. Decent kits but like Dragon just tons of small parts
Dude its one of my favorite tank destroyer. Looking forward in seeing your build of this beauty. Hoping they make a 1/16th version!
Hi mTey... Sorry not been around. Missed you boys, the boys of old!!!! Mr G.. My fav ever type of vehicles. I love the open tops so to speak. I have 2x dragon and 2x italeri kits of these and several bits of aftermarket. 6ou need any let me know. Just watching the Outpost. Been trying for a year or so to see it. Suicide FOB... Plus I lost a good brother there. How's the family my friend
Ps mate figuers if you want to do anything vigndttes/dio then I'll send you some if you let me know what sort of pose, early, mid, late.. Desert, Urban, or just travelling etc etc. Snow, hot, pis... Eerrrrr piddling it sen down... Whatever mate let me know. I'll, send what you need, any!!! Stay safe brother
I suggest you look into Ammo Mig ATOM paints. They are non-toxic and a many modlers praised them..
cockpit looks great, I built the smaller 1/48 scale and pilot figures were not included.😔
Hi, David. The figure wasn't included with this one either. Nice thing is, it fits like it was made specifically for this kit.
Hi Brett, you have made a great start to the Me-109, the pilot figure looked great, looking forward to the next update soon, best regards from Australia, Les
Cockpit turned out great and the figure does look fantastic! Nice work as always
I've built a few Revell 1/32's and the sprue layout definitely drives me nuts, especially after building a few Trumpeter 1/32's. Trumpeter and Hobby Boss have great sprue layouts.
Nuts, indeed! I would like to try one of the Trumpeter 109s... maybe once I get more of my current batch of kits finished!
Hi my friend are you qll ok??? Sorry for late reply, health, life, mums just had a new hip and today i may be an uncle for 2nd time. Thats no excuse at all so i appologkse as you were one of my first real decent trustworthy friends. I feel awful, really sorry. Same goes Glen at halidon. He was or no, still is one of my better friends bu5 im sure he will press block o4 what3ver etc t3c b9th of you should really. Anyway, never done a 109 not even as kid. Its down on my bucket list along b17 g if poss. I wqnt to do that heinkell when it arrives in uk although im thhinking big time expensive.
I found one of these in my dads stuff a few weeks ago, its in a poor state so i'm trying to get it back together, mine has an electric motor and drive gear though, any chance you know why there may be a difference and any help would be appreciated
Back in the late 60s and early 70s and maybe beyond, Tamiya offered a lot of their armor kits with motors and some even came with a remote control that connected to the vehicle via wires. They may have had some RC stuff as well but I’m not sure on that. So, they sold static kits and motorized kits. There are still kits that they sell today that were molded from that time period that still have slots in the bottom of the hull for switches and points inside the hole where the batteries would’ve been. I have never seen one of the motorized versions of this kit myself. Sounds like you might have a pretty rare kit there
Tip 1 - 0.45mm Tip 3 - 0.64mm Tip 5 - 1.06mm
That is very helpful, thanks!
The tracks are the same price as the kit!
nice review, what is the QR code for?
What QR code?
@@BrettG64 in the directions at the bottom of the colored plates
This looks awesome, Brett!
@@Drewsmodels thanks, amigo!
Are you going to rivet the plane? Unfortunately the Revell kits are not (fully) riveted, unlike the Eduard kits or the very very expensive Zoukei Mura kit.
@@marcusaureliusantoninusaug2161 no rivets for this one. I’ve yet to find a good rivet tool for one thing. The holes never appear round
Looking forward to this build. I've a couple of large scale aircraft to build, plus three RC boats, but my railway modelling is slow progress🤔 Better start looking for the fountain of youth🤔😲🙄😀
Just subscribed I like a video with a history I have this kit in my stash. I hope you pointed out the inaccuracies as you build.
Looking forward to your build, Brett! I've got this one in the stash, as well as the Barracuda aftermarket goodies.
I think this kit has been discontinued, I have been looking for it. It will be interesting to follow your build.
Can't wait to see this one come alive Brett! I'm really interested to see you paint up the pilot. I find the Aero Bonus figures always need some good trimming to fit into the cockpits so heads up on that.
@@MadGeniusProductions_MGP stay tuned!
Hi Brett, good luck with this build, bedt regards from Australia, Les
When do you paint the road wheels flat black is that at a later time?
I love Vallejo paints. I use Tamiya too but Vallejo are my goto paints. Looking forward to seeing your future builds.
What type of air compressor you use? :-) thanks for sharing !
I don’t use a compressor. I use a CO2 cylinder with a regulator attached. It’s completely quiet, and has no need for a moisture trap.
@@BrettG64 thank u so much! Do you think using a compressor also works ? I have also the paasche, my grandma gave it to me :-)
@@Vivomuerta yes. When I first got back into the hobby I used to compressor. And it worked fine. If using a compressor just make sure you get one with the tank and a moisture trap. It will keep water out of the line and out of your airbrush so it won’t screw up your paint job.
Nice update, lets get building 👍. I like to alternate subject matter as well...car, plane & military😊
Nice video. But I miss on it a part where you explains as you glue the photo etched big parts over the kit.
Good update, Brett! Vallejo Air is my go-to paints!
Thanks, amigo.
Have you tried AK Interactive 3G Acrylic paints? I’ve heard they are really good and they’re acrylic!
Hi, John. I do have some of the 3rd Gen paints... very good! I use them for brush painting right now, but will definitely be trying them through the airbrush.
Hi Brett, The new modelling room set-up looks very nice indeed, loving the artwork. With regard to airbrushing Vallejo acrylics, Ultimate Modelling Products acrylic thinner works wonderfully with the Vallejo, together with many more brands of paints! Sorry to hear of Jim’s health issues, please be kind enough to pass on my best wishes.
Nice updates Brett. Oh man, I hope you still have all those vallejo air's but I think you gave them away haha. I think the only bad thing about vallejo is getting the right mix was inconsistent even if you used the exact same measurements it was hit or miss and then the big thing for me was you cannot really hair spray chip them well at all as Vallejo puts down this vinyl type top (hard to explain) so it all just comes up if you try to chip it...but that is also what makes it so durable to type like you mention
Hey, Joe! Funny you mention the Vallejo paints. I got the whole lot back from Jim (ShutterAce). He has totally removed himself from modeling due to health issues. As for performance, so far, so good. I've done some research and consulted some people in the know and have had stellar success with them. I am not much of a measuring guy so I make sure my thinner mix is correct, drop some in the color cup and add paint to the desired dilution. I am going to be doing some paint videos, as I mentioned in the video, so I can share some of the stuff I've learned. Great to hear from you, by the way!
@@BrettG64 Ah ok, glad Jim had them but I'm so very sorry about his health and inability to model. I always liked watching you both do Chatterbox. That will be great to see you do some paint vids! I'm usually catching up on vids but try to make sure I watch yours when they drop. I just don't comment as often as I should. Have a great Friday
How about a magnetic vortex spinner? Drop the spinner into the bottle then sit it on the plate and let the magnet mix it up for you?
Ha, ha. I was one those watching that said OMG what in the heck are you doing. Never seen this exactly done before. Kind of reminds me of dark sludge washs done on aircraft after allowing the sludge wash to dry and settle into panel lines then wipe it off with a paper towel. But aircraft have a much smoother surface than a tank does. Anyway. I kind of like how it leaves dust deposits in all the nooks and cranies of the tank. So cool, I learned something new today. Thanks
You have so much more patience than I do.
Nice weathering there Brett
Pretty cool !
Beautiful! My grandfather was born in Czechoslovakia. 👍
Kitna paent ka he
Konsa model he gun
Stuart came out nice. They are small but I managed to stick a gearbox and motorize mine😊
The little Stuart is looking good. Totally enjoy your build.
Thanks for doing these. Your M7 Priest series has really helped me in my current build.
@@TheSaturnV glad you are enjoying them and great to hear that they are helpful as well
Great rebuild but I could barely hear you due to the music
Uh... music? I am not hearing any music at all.
