@@raymadani270have you tried their newer kit like the strike eagle, super hornet/growler and tomcat/bombcat? Those things were a breeze to build. My only complaints are they dont give us many option, like the f-15 and f-18 has a one piece canopy and non poseable elevator
Wow! That looked like a LOT of work! It turned out great. Liked the idea of stippling the panel line wash for some tonal variation. Thanks for sharing the build with us! Love your humor too. 👏🏻👏🏻
I’m not going to be the first - or last person - to say this, but THANK YOU for sharing your wisdom with us! You are one of the reasons why my skills have improved the past year! Just when I thought I knew enough to be “good” with painting, you throw in something new like the Have Glass effect! You are just brilliant!
Well that's just about the best thing I can read, thanks! I have to admit this was not the effect I was after but sometimes experiments are not successful.
Well, Metodi.....what can I say.......brilliant job and a super video to watch. You packed so much into this model (at 1/72 scale) and gave us viewers lots of detail in both visual and commentary. The wait was worth every second....check you out on the next one.
You did an absolutely beautiful job painting that model. I thought the camo pattern was way too dark initially but it looks excellent when finished. I will use some of your methods for sure. Thank you for taking the time to share.
Great work, I see now some companies have bought out a Have Glass paint set. Nice work on the tail and exhaust area. and pencil work, This has given me a lot of inspiration to have a go at my Raptor sitting in a box downstairs stored away, thanks mate
Great kob! I just would have made the dark grey patches a bit more visible, but I do love it. Time to draw my 2009 Revell kit from the stash and assemble it!
Very nice build, although I would have used black basing at the beginning to give the have glass paint more depth. I would love to see in the future a Su-25 build in БВВС colors 😊. All the best from Bucharest!
I think a little interesting thing you could possibly add to the gear is sanding down underneath the tires just a little bit to add the weight effect on account of the aim 9s, AMRAMs, and the two external fuel tanks.
That started out scary with the putty, but you really pulled it all together towards the latter half of the build. The detail looks more like a pro 1/48th scale, so you nailed it in many ways. Things I might have done different would be filing down the edges of the AIM-9X missile fins to get rid of the blocky execution of the molds, but that’s hard to do on 1/72. I just got 2 Revell 1/72 F-22s, and I want to focus on the weapons bays more than anything as part of a bigger project. I like your weapons bay detailing on this. I’m looking at close-up photos of real F-22A weapons bays to try to nail the details. Overall great job man.
Hi Metodi, that was a fantastic job, well done, what's next on the modelling desk? I hope you and your family are keeping safe and well happy modelling mate.
Masterful work, as always. Hope you're pleased with the results. Hard to tell from the video, but it looks like most of the metallic underpainting for the Have Glass got covered over, Does it show through on the kit in real life?
Thanks, unfortunately it is visible only wen sunlight hits it in a certain way... i.e. not visible. More experimenting is necessary... probably other paints too.
Смывки А.МИГ очень нравятся. Можно убрать сухой ватной палочкой хоть через неделю. Тамия этого не позволит. Её надо убрать желательно в первые 15 минут. Дольше труднее.
Nice job. I just bought the same kit with the same Aires upgrade sets. Is there a reason why you didn't use the Aires resin canopy base? I haven't received my kits yet and I couldn't find any user manual on line. I am a bit worried about the fitment now.
Unfortunately you have every reason to be worried about the fit. I struggled a lot especially with the engines. For the same reason I ditched the canopy frame. I am not excluding user error from the equation but.... nah it just does not fit.
Concerning my airbrush, do I have to put thinner in all my colors. It seems that when I do put thinners in my paint all it does is make it watery and not stick well.
That depends on: the nozzle size, the paint, the pressure and how much you pull the trigger. With all possible combinations you'll have to find the sweet spot for your setup. I personally shoot trough 0.2 and 0.3 nozzles and I thin my paints quite a lot. But some paints are thinner than others to begin with.
Hello everybody. 4'30: What's the ratio between White, Grey and yellow paints to do the Insigna White paint? I use tamiya acrylics paints. Thanks from France
The insignia white is a Tamiya color -www.amazon.com/Tamiya-Lacquer-Paints-Insignia-Bottle/dp/B07RC9CLGZ Other wise the mix i made is not as good and there is no ratio... i mixed the paints u till the result was satisfactory.
Hej! Jak polecasz malowac taki model pedzlem? Jakie farby? Jak zaczac malować? Myslalem nad najpierw jasna potem ciemna i w pewnych miejscach nie malować zeby powstaly plamy z kamuflażu
Well I would not recommend brush painting a whole model at all but if you must AK's 3rd gen acrylics are very nice to paint with. Probably ot os best to start with the lightest color and go from there.
This is proof a skilled craftsman can turn an, “ok”, kit into a masterpiece.
I hope to have your level of skill someday.
Thanks Bruce, all it takes is practice and challenge IMO
Instablaster
academy is less than ok

Glossing and sanding decals is scary at first but is one of the most rewarding steps to model making.
Indeed!
do I have to topcoat the decals first?
@@jhonathanbarthomelewoswald1936 yes!
So apply a clear over the decals before sanding down
The level you are taking your builds to is excellent. So much detail
Thank you very much!
Wow! That looked like a LOT of work! It turned out great. Liked the idea of stippling the panel line wash for some tonal variation. Thanks for sharing the build with us! Love your humor too. 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Rick, there was reasonable amount of work involved. If it was not for the resin exhaust the build would be easier.
Great build. Spraying the grey over the metallic tones was a fantastic choice.
In my case the result was not what I aimed for, but have seen this approach working very well

Best F-22 model build I have seen.
Thank you very much 👍
wow. incredible patience, always bringing it to perfection.
Thank you!
I love it im cant stop waching these videos and building models by myself!😊
Thanks mate!
Lovely build, the washes really made those surface details pop 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Great build, I already build one F22A from Academy and this video onspired me to make another atempt.
Its a nice kit to build for sure
For the shine,you can use more metallic paints and less gray when painting
Welcome back, Metodi. A great build, indeed.
Thanks a lot mate 👍
Amazing job! Such a steady hand and eye for detail, especially with the color selection and techniques on application.
Thank you! Cheers!
Your colored detail was awesome!!!
Thanks 👍
i got this same kit i’m definitely going to try some of the things you did on your kit because it looks amazing
Thanks Hunter 👍
You're making a tough kit very beautifully
Thanks mate, the kit is actually quite good IMO
Ohhhh wowwww excellent work muy friend. Thanks for your vídeo, greats from Argentina.
Thank you very much!
That is the best build of the F-22 model kit I have ever seen, very good work!
Thanks mate, appreciated 👍
This turned out amazing
Thanks mate 👍
Welcome back. Missed your content. Hope everything is fine with you.

I agree, but it is hard to judge how the next paint layers will do covering the camo.
I'm not impressed with the revell kit, but i am a beginner so maybe thats why i had such trouble with it
Superb work as always Metodi!
Many thanks!
amazing work. i will use this video for inspiration for one of my f-22 builds.
Thanks mate 👍
now i will write in portuguese. Esse vídeo é muito bom, forte like, o melhor canal do UA-cam sem dúvidas. Um grande abraço amigo.

I just got one I'm not good at painting so I don't know how it will turn out but I hope it looks all right since it's my first
Practice makes perfect right :)

Thanks, at the end it did not show trough that black base or not to matter.
AK makes a Have Glass paint. It’s decent has some metallic sheen to it. I used it on my 1/48 Hasegawa Raptor
Thanks for the tip Brian, I prefer lacquer paints so my next attempt will be MRP or Hataka.
Looks incredible!!!
Thanks mate 👍
Amazing work as always Metodi. Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you! Cheers!

Yup, you are right. Properly weighted tires are a cool little feature.

I was not able to do that although I tried, next time I will try MRP's have glass.
The masking and airbrush sound 🤭🤭

Not to leave fingerprints mainly

Can i use other glues
32:14 do you use cyanoacrylate or regular model glue to glue pre-painted parts?
In this case CA
What did you use for the panel lines and what do you use to remove the excess panel lines?
Tamiya black panel line accent color and white spirit
I am wondering, how you did intake covers. They are not part of a kit and that step is missing in the video
Two part epoxy putty. I don't have footage for that :)
Will someone ever do this model with canon bay opened?
Who knows :)
Just a comment for the algorithm.
Just a thanks 🙂
How did you brush so thin
0.2 nozzle, low pressure, thin paint
My man did hours and hours if masking for not alot of reason. Painted over all it with ghost gray
What glue did you use?
I use variety of glues. Plastic clement, CA glue and white glue are my choices depending on the situation
How long did you take to build it?
3 months, but I have lots of video editing to do which eats bench time.
17:28 how did you paint so thin
0.2 nozzle, very diluted paint and low pressure.... and some experience ;)
the real Raptors look like a patchwork of cobbled together panels -it would be difficult to over - weather your model .
It's very hard to find two raptors that are like each other... they are allover the place in terms of weathering
Do I have to glue it?
Glue what?
