Why is Airfix's Harrier GR.1 $50???
In this video, i say the word "butt join" one too many times, get bewildered by paint and unironically tell you to buy a mistercraft kit, all in an attempt to find out whether or not Airfix's Harrier GR.1 is worth the 26 pound sterling it tends to retail for. Also Airfix are raising their prices so have fun with that lol lmao

How To Pre-shade Without An Airbrush
Переглядів 3,6 тис.Місяць тому
Sike it's actually post-shading with oil paints. While oil paints are (apparently) pretty daunting for the beginner, they're powerful and can single-handedly turn your model from zero to slightly above zero with just a few simple techniques. Also they're the easiest way to replicate all the cool shading techniques when brush painting. Socials Discord: discord.gg/BFhQHJQSW2 Tumblr: www.tumblr.co...

    you should never use tap water to thin your paints if your going to use water it should always be distilled water because tap water has a bunch of chemicals and sh*t in it that can mess with the paint, where distilled water has had all these chemicals and compounds removed.

    The Harrier does actually jump, hover and also 'VIFF' very well. The 'running leap' thing is what the Sea Harrier does most of the time, off aircraft carriers. It's done to give the aircraft better range over sea. It takes a lot of fuel to take off vertically, fuel which can be better used to get you back to the ship when there may be no dry land for you to set down on. Yes... Land-based Harriers do the running leap thing for some missions (Long range, or carrying heavy loads) but saying it can't take off vertically very well, is... I'll just say 'not accurate'

    Hi. Maybe next time you go to a model show you could look out for the original old Airfix kit of the Harrier. It had the rotating nozzles which as a kid I really liked, it might not be as accurate as the newer version but it has a nostalgia value. Nice job though. Good luck.

    I think part of the problem with Airfix pricing comes down to the way they classify their kits in "series". This results in some kits being a bit better value for money in comparison to others - this being a series 4 kit means that it is inline with all the other series 4 kits at £23.99 RRP (at the time of this comment). The problem is that series 4 contains 1/48 and 1/72 kits at this price, with the 1/48 ones looking to be quite reasonable value whilst the 1/72 ones seeming a little over priced

    For many years I painted with an airbrush, but one day I had to deliver a model for a birthday as a surprise gift and the airbrush played a bad trick on me. From that moment on I paint with a brush and as you say in your video you have to learn from your mistakes. With my technique and my brushes I achieve the same effects as with an airbrush. Also, painting with a brush takes less time cleaning than with an airbrush. Congratulations on your channel and work.
