David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Wednesday, 4 September, 2024) Thank you for the look over your shoulder. You offer us a decidedly unique perspective, as well as a close-up view to observe some genuinely interesting, useful techniques I certainly will remember. I also saw your build of Italeri’s 1:72nd-scale kit of Fairchild’s AC-119K Stinger Gunship, one of the predecessors to the famous Lockheed AC-130 Hercules Gunship. I years past had built that kit (that is a long story, of a glum memory :( SMH). Yours, to my appreciation, was far more accurate in detail and assembly. I had assembled mine airborne, complete with pilots, etc., in a pylon turn . . . .
Nicely done, Very nice metal finish. In 1976 i paint stripped a real ME262 to bare metal, There was a large amount of steel used in it`s construction (Nose and engine nacelles) which was much darker than the duralumin area`s, Additionally the Fin leading edge and all undercarriage doors were wood.
Brilliant work, I'm still working on my 124th Hurricane. If I could be half as good as you I'd be happy. Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together. We really apprecate it.
The words that came out my trap when I saw your masking of the wings etc..."bloody hell"! 😳😲 Have a couple or so '262's that I fancy doing, all with the number "13"....even toying with the idea of a Swedish "what if" nightfighter! 🤨🤔 Beautiful work! Really enjoy your videos....👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻
This is the reason why I do love german airplanes (although the fact my grand mom served in RAF during the conflict and I have known a lot of CZ fighters), because of fabulous engineering and design. Nice work!
Nice call on the metal finish. That is one that you don’t often see in 1/32 262 kits. Good on you for tackling the transparent kit. I don’t have much patience or tolerance for those. I love seeing a fully painted bird, ready to fly.
Excellent build out, having retired, I have renewed my interest in modeling and having to relearn techniques with new materials and kits. Your videos are very helpful in accomplishing this .I am practicing on some old kits stashed back for years. In fact the last clear plastic kit I remember is the large scale P-51 mounted on a base where you could operate the propeller, gear and bomb dropping. Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays.
Another fantastic , interesting , and educational video / build . I used to make loads of models years ago but sadly now , my eyes and hands will not allow me to partake in this rewarding pastime . Keep up the good work , Greg . The memories come flooding back .
The ME 262 has ALWAYS BEEN my ALL TIME FAV WWII Aircraft! And THIS was a GREAT BUILD VIDEO! Thanks! Now I want to build one! Or ANOTHER One I should say?! :) Joe
To say its a lovely build goes without saying really. What I wanted to thank you for is the video production side of it. Your video is always clear and well shot and together with the excellent commentary, really makes for a great video. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this build.
What a beautiful model! To be honest I am quite skeptical about clear editions, but here it looks really impressive! I think it works because of a large scale so more details reach viewer eyes.
Another great build Greg, keep them coming. If you're interested Trumpeter makes a SBD Dauntless 1/2 in 1/32 scale and version 1 is a natural metal pre war bird flown by the Marines. The kit is #02241. Looking forward to your next build.
Great work! A very solid build! There were definitely missed opertunities, like detailing the engine, adding wires throughout, but for a quick build, you did a nice job. I like the putty lines! I’m building this same kit right now!
Epic build, fantastic result, Greg. Another thoroughly enjoyable build sequence, commentary and final reveal.....it's a pleasure watching your work....thank you!
A little hint that may help... We all know about sprue goo well I make 4 different colours 1 black, 1 white, 1 grey and 1 clear. The clear one is really good for canopies and other transparent parts And greetings from New Zealand
I’m in the midst of building a solid fuselage version. My complaints, so far, is the instrument panel is clear, but the instruments are solid, rather backwards, and the nacelles don’t have open panels for engine display, but a nice model otherwise. Thanks for the video
As always brilliant. Like your hurricane build I now want to build one. I am about to start my mk1 1/24 trumpeter hurricane I have the cloth sutton harness for it and I'm just waiting on an instrument panel to arrive. I look forward to your next build mate and Merry Christmas to you and yours. All the best.
Would love to see you build the BAC TSR-2 in 1/48 from Airfix. It is a rare model but SO beautiful!!! Great video, as usual, impressive and inspirational work!!!!!!
Always a highlight to watch your builds Greg! That aloy-finish looks really great, definitely worth the effort! What a shame the fit with the gun-hatches is so bad! Love to see you building those big scale airplanes! Cheers Fedja
That model looks really good with a nice finish. I like how you added the toneality to metal panels although I am not too sure about the puttying as you call it. I would have thought this would be neatly applied to any panel gaps to seal the panels but maybe in the wartime the work was not so neat. Each to their own as you say. Great video, keep them coming. I've just finished the Revell 1/72 Concorde. If you want a challenge give that kit a go but buy a big tube of filler with the kit.
@@GregsModels I notice you use Tamiya Panel Line Accent a lot. Is there anywhere in the UK it can be bought at a sensible price? I have been making up oil washes to do this.
Hi Greg, I know this is an old video, but it inspired me to buy this kit and subscribe to your channel. This was a wonderful build, and the way it was delivered was really informative and enjoyable to watch

Nice work on the aluminum finish, it looks really good!

Thanks Peter must make a note about that for next time.

Thank you
Love the aluminium work, I'll be painting a Trumpy 109k soon enough and may borrow this for the underside
Love the luminum look on the jet components. Its one fancy plan from the past. Movie prop quality for sure..
Awesome work my friend keep up the good work
You Sir are a Master Craftsman!!!
I'm just finished the first part of the video but I can already ell you did a really great job wit this one. I still can learn some new tricks.
Amazing build.

Excellent job Greg. What a masking nigthmare. You have the patience of a swiss jeweler. Great and beautiful model. Well done.
Thank you 👍
Really enjoyable build. Thanks.

Beautiful work!
Really enjoy your videos....👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻

Another excellent video, thank you.
An amazing well detailed build great build.
Awesome build!
the Me262 is one of my fav aircraft of WW2. Your build is stunning, gotta build one. Great vid .
Howdy from Texas! I've been in this hobby since the '70's and your builds never cease to inspire. Tremendous work!
Enjoy your holiday.
Thanks Mark
This is the reason why I do love german airplanes (although the fact my grand mom served in RAF during the conflict and I have known a lot of CZ fighters), because of fabulous engineering and design. Nice work!
The commentary here is first class. Thanks for all those insights...especially those dealing with your decisions on detailing.
That`s a lovely Me-262, Greg 👏
Thank you 👍
Great Build Greg, I liked it so much I bought the kit!
Great work, Greg. Fantastic ideas and tips. Thanks!!
👍
Loved watching how you attacked the BMF. Amazing stuff. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Very nice work I especially liked the work on the bar metal finish.
Thanks Greg. I love your subtle finishes. Bare metal always scares me so I've never done it!
That was good one. Some of your techniques are very interesting. Good job :)
NAKED 262 marvelous
Excellent build 👌
Stunning build!
So satisfying watching an expert at work.
Lovely result
Well I found your channel a week of so ago as I’m about to kick into the 1/24 109e great modelling and I think the 262 is superb.
Have a healthy and plentiful New Year!
Cheers
Lovely build, shows your craftsmanship to great effect. I enjoyed the build and narrative. Looking forward to the next.
Congratulations fantastic result; the aluminium finish is really effective, looks like it is sitting in a museum somewhere.
Nice call on the metal finish. That is one that you don’t often see in 1/32 262 kits. Good on you for tackling the transparent kit. I don’t have much patience or tolerance for those. I love seeing a fully painted bird, ready to fly.

Beautiful job Greg, a natural metal finish and clear fuselage and engine panels, gutsy move and great result!
Another fantastic , interesting , and educational video / build . I used to make loads of models years ago but sadly now , my eyes and hands will not allow me to partake in this rewarding pastime . Keep up the good work , Greg . The memories come flooding back .
Thanks Tony.
Another stunning build Greg!! thanks for sharing...............
Awesome work! I really like the overall finish and weathering on the NMF.
Brilliant build!!! I love the paint scheme. It is iconic!! Thanks for sharing!!
Excellent work.
I illustrated '711' in a similar factory finish as a commission, a few years ago.
All good fun!
Beautiful work mate cheers

Thanks Dan, very kind of you to say. I'm hoping to invest in a proper camera and mic next year.
Awesome modeling! Thanks for sharing tips and techniques. Beautiful results!
Brilliant love the artistic approach and I know the pitfalls so you have saved me a load of grief well done
Really enjoyable build. Lots of choices to be made on the transparent parts. Great job as ever.
What a beautiful model! To be honest I am quite skeptical about clear editions, but here it looks really impressive! I think it works because of a large scale so more details reach viewer eyes.
Who knew you could buy panel line wash?Another terrific build.
Great job, model looks great! Keep up your great work and videos! 👍
You do fine work
I enjoy your builds you have a lot of skill and good judgement.That aside, I really like your delivery, very relatable and honest.
Another great build Greg, keep them coming. If you're interested Trumpeter makes a SBD Dauntless 1/2 in 1/32 scale and version 1 is a natural metal pre war bird flown by the Marines. The kit is #02241. Looking forward to your next build.

Blimey mate, you’re so humble about your modelling. Lovely job 😉
Another great one.

Another great model Greg and once again your patience has paid off. Have a great Christmas best wishes from NZ.😉
Epic build, fantastic result, Greg. Another thoroughly enjoyable build sequence, commentary and final reveal.....it's a pleasure watching your work....thank you!
Your work is exquisite...you are an artist of the highest caliber!
Agree, some say hobby, I say art.....
Excellent work as always mate 👍🏼

Fantastic result, and a great colour scheme
Many thanks!

All right Greg 👍✌
Would love to see you build the BAC TSR-2 in 1/48 from Airfix. It is a rare model but SO beautiful!!! Great video, as usual, impressive and inspirational work!!!!!!
I've the Dynavector kit sat on the shelves waiting to be built. A lot more work than the Airfix release but more accurate 👍
@@GregsModels Now THAT is a hard to see model!!!!!
Always a highlight to watch your builds Greg! That aloy-finish looks really great, definitely worth the effort! What a shame the fit with the gun-hatches is so bad! Love to see you building those big scale airplanes!
Cheers Fedja
👍
Very cool
Which reminds me I still have the Revell "UHU" version (1974) in my stash.
That model looks really good with a nice finish. I like how you added the toneality to metal panels although I am not too sure about the puttying as you call it.

I've heard its a kit with issues.

Hi Greg.Love your use and blending of colour on all your builds.
Amazing
I always think of a flat black and rubber black mix as light black. 😂
