I love this 'blue on blue' scheme. Im getting towards the end of making a hasegawa f-4 in these colours.
they have it on their F4s as well. super sexy and makes them look aggressor like
Very nice kit I like modulation of colors which you used , Hasegawa "masters at work" and skilled modeler = very nice model :) after that what I saw here I have no choice left... I need to buy one for myself. Good job mate, keep it rolling :D
JASDF always has the coolest color schemes...their F-15Js & DJs are out of this world
After getting back into this hobby after about a 45 year absence, I can definitely say that I have learnt a fair bit from watching your vids.
The aftermarket accessories available and all those "special tools" that are now required...
Many thanks for your vids and I hope my version of this is at least 50% as good as yours, I'll be happy...
Hi Robbie H, thanks! You can do it! 😃
@@MaxAfterburner Mate, its a bit like guitar playing after 10 x spinal surgeries. I used to be able, but, sitting for a period of time is a nightmare...
I love your content, it’s really crazy that the model building community has such an interesting guy, keep up the good work
Thanks Windows tech support, I'm very happy you're enjoying the content 😎
Love you videos! The info you provide on the subject is excellent, that is one of the things I really enjoy in the hobby is also learning about the military equipment. Watching you videos has helped me to bring up the quality of my builds. Keep up the good work!!
Thanks very much Chris 😊
Nice I just bought a f-2b 1/48 hopefully I can make a nice model out of it
however the canopy has a crack in it
I like this video very much because of the step by step showcase helps with planning and a sense of how the airbrush will look like in action thanks for making this informative and enjoyable video
Great to hear, thanks Simon, I hope you have great success on your F-2B!
Another great build Max! Good choice, the F-2B is a beauty!
Thanks Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus, glad to hear from you again and that you liked this F-2B! 😄
That's a nice looking plane.
Thanks much Nathan 🙂
Amazing build Max, enjoyed it 👏
Thanks again Sprue Fascination Channel, I hope you're doing well! 😀
I’m Japanese. It is very cool! I want more people to know about this work
こんにちは つりひゃっかTV, おかげで、楽しんでくれてうれしいです 😎
Looks real good! So much improvement from the first model till now.
I hope so Cole 🤭
The roundels really do tie the plane together.
I totally agree, Woopty Do! 😉
You could say they give it a well rounded look....
🔴 🧐
Great work!!!
Hi José, thank you so much 😀
Awesome video!
Thanks Jeremiah, Aziza saw it first 😂
Max_afterburner's videos remind of an older Saturday cartoon verse in the opening song: "Stick around and you may learn something before we're done!" Another great video, and I walk away knowing more than I did. I love the builds and the History, and Stats lessons I learn each time I watch.
Thanks for the terrific comments Doug! 😃
@@MaxAfterburner
They are deserved comments. I like what, and how you are doing your videos. I am hoping your videos bring in more of the younger and first time modeller's. Keep doing what you do my friend!
You finally built it!! I was waiting for this model for soooooo long!! Excellent work as always, wheathering is spot on imo
And that sea camo looks amazing, you can paint it on any aircraft and it will look beautiful
Thanks Simone, who doesn't love anything painted in blue? 😊
Nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome build really enjoy your models keep up the good work
Thanks for watching Aaron 🙂
Pashe D-500, Same compressor I use and have had sinve bought new in the 90"s also. I soon plan to begin putting up build videos bery soon. Nice work.
Thanks Big D - 1- Channel, and have fun 😉
Max i gotta tell ya. You are truly talented. Love your videos and as usual AWESOME WORK! I hope one day i could meet you in person.
Hi Carlos, thanks again, always a treat to read your comments 😃
Another great build..I always look forward to the videos...hope you do the 1/48 L-39....happy modeling..
Thanks Peter, hope you're doing great! 😊
Man i wish i was as good as you. Currently doing a Kinetic Hornet. I am definitely going to use some of your techniques, also for the flight deck you did for the super hornet
That's fantastic, have fun Arnaud! 😀
Hi Max
I always enjoy your vids
They got something relaxing to me ,and you must be a pretty chilled guy 😅
All the best to you
Thanks so much for your comments F-4E Phantom II! 😃
Nice! Keep it up Max
Thanks k c 🙂
Your videos make me want to order an air brush kit. I have 5 models just sitting here and I don't want to make them until i can paint them properly.
Hi GMoneyMacFresh, in my opinion, the airbrush can make a world of difference. You're right to wait on those kits 😉
@@MaxAfterburner Can I get away with going to amazon prime and ordering an airbrush kit from there?
Sugoi ! Yoku Yatta. Keep up the the good.
Arigatōgozaimashita good2us! 🙂
Looking good!
Maybe I ought to visit Matsushima AB when they have an event this summer. For some reason I have never liked the look of two-seater f-16s (the single seater being my all-time favorite) but with the F-2 sea camo scheme it works out well. I have the Hasegawa 1/72 F-2a/b in my stash staring at me now..
Thanks Captain Cruise 🙂. You must go see the F-2, I wish I had the opportunity to see one in person.
Wow..........Another great build. A more expensive airbrush doesn't mean it's a better airbrush, just more expensive.
Max could have done just as good a job with a cheap airbrush.
😉
Airbrush does not jam. Use Badger Needle Juice for the needle and clean the airbrush with a regular brush. You should clean the cup and the seen needle part with the brush. Put some cheap tamiya color thinner (use cheap window cleaner- clear one with ammonia base-only for cleaning). Put your finger in front closing the nozzle cap and the backward circulation of the air will clean the internals. You have to practice your own but you will find it out. You do not need to loosen this up each time. Take care.
I'll try that, thanks John K 🙂
@@MaxAfterburner Yes my friend, the big deal is to use the needle juice. Do not be frighten, first you spray some thinner so the excess lubricant from the front section of the needle can go away and the airbrush will be much smoother. What is happening now, is due to the fact that the tool is new and the Teflon seal is tight. I have the same airbrush, it is a very good tool that can spray a variety of patterns, much better than your old one-since you get use to it, you will not want to change it.I like your builds for the ease of build and the relevant final outcome, it's pure fun with no much of frustration. Although i usually paint free-hand i would love to see a video of how you make your masks from the instructions step by step. Keep up the good work :)
Great kit, 👍😂😂
Hello mister max!that noise in background.ist that rain???or the compressor?with sticky greetings. Your modellmate. Christian
Hi Christian, that's the sound of rain. It's something I feature in all my videos when there is no narration or music during a clip. It's become somewhat of a trademark for this channel. I edit out all the sounds of the compressor. 😁
Приветствую! Красив. Очень красив! Да что там, чертовски красив!!! Великолепно!!!
Привeт Лёха, Я извиняюсь за поздний отвeт. Большоe спасибо за приятныe отзывы. Надeюсь что у тeбя всё фантастично!
Awesome video! Did you get a new camera/recorder? You sound more masculine......
I was sick with a cold/bronchitis, so I don't get to keep the improved voice. 😛
I love my Mitsubishi engine in my car, the plane must amazing haha
Your videos are some of the best model videos on UA-cam. One question though. If I were painting the underside of a plane and didn’t add a primer, would there be a way to fix the flat colour to look better/more natural without spraying it again?
Hi bonnie1020, thanks 😀. Since you're trying to avoid another paint coat, then the only thing I can think of would be to gently rub in some pastel powder in a color or colors towards what want to to achieve appearance-wise.
@@MaxAfterburner Ah, I didn't think of that. Thanks!
Any reason you stick to 1/48 scale and not 1/32?
Shorter project time and less demand for display space
Was that clip from bucket of blood
Yes it was, Lisa 😉
Hi to zoom.the instructions to make a camofulage like you did in 1/72 how much i need to zoom
Hi Andre, if you're using the same set of instructions: the top and bottom views have to be enlarged 133% (1.33x). The side views actually need to be reduced at 95.2% (0.952x) to get to 1/72 scale. 😎
no taking for me in this Japanese jet but really looking forward to AH-1Z
Excellent work as usual! I was curious- do you use any magnifying assist when working with smaller parts? Has your vision deteriorated over the years because you work with such tiny pieces? We don't get to see your face, so I wasn't sure if you used a binocular magnifier or other similar device at times.
Hi 1JackTorS, I don't use any devices to assist my vision. But it's hard sometimes to see very fine detail and that is one of the reasons I don't do pilot figures if they're included in the kits. I wouldn't be able to paint them adequately.
I personally vote for the Yamoto (Premium)
Hi Alvin, I was scared during the drawing that it might have been picked. I would have been tied up for months! 🤪
Those ailerons look like crap and are way too big.
The F-2 and F-2B are like the F-16, they do not have ailerons, they're flaperons - a flight control surface combination of aileron and flap.
Love the content first watch the B-52 your work is amazing I used to do this as a kid but haven’t in a long long time
Thanks Phillip, I hope it's bringing back great memories 🙂
I did this as well as a kid Phillip. My favorite hobby of all time. I haven't done this In well over 25 years though. Want to get back into it but you don't really see the model kits in stores now a days any more.
F-2....イケメン😍(very cool)
ありがとうございました 😀
Max if I was interested in commissioning a model would that be something you do and what would be the best contact?
Hi Thomas, I've never done any commissioned work. I would consider it if you're looking for a novelty item such as, "this was built by that guy on UA-cam". If you're looking for a museum quality piece, I think my work wouldn't be what you require. If that doesn't deter you, this channel's home page has a "business inquiry" e-mail link you can send details and what complexity the kit might have for review, thanks
Nice build! Always thought that the f2 was a direct copy of the f16. Thnx for the info!
It was but modified for anti-ship warfare
Not a direct copy.
It has a Japanese-built wing and Japanese avionics.
A lot of the design work was influenced by a late 1980s upgrade program called "Agile Falcon." Agile Falcon mainly featured an enlarged wing and tail surfaces that were to reduce wingloading and restore the handling the F-16 had in the original A-model. The F-16C has grown a lot in weight but has the same wing the F-16A did. While the newer engines allow higher acceleration and better climb, the F-16C isn't quite as agile as the F-16A and has a reduced 9-G envelope because of the higher wingloading.
The F-2 program still got delayed by at least 5 years because of fighting between various political factions. The infighting within Japan was at least as bad as that between US and Japanese officials. The US officials believed they were handing over F-16 tech for a song that would aid Japan's aerospace industry unfairly and end up making Japan a strong competitor in the future which really hasn't happened; Japan's aerospace has strong subcontracting and actually does provide quite a bit of technical support to Boeing but the Japanese market is too small to self-start and sustain a lot of domestic programs let alone design a 777 competitor. Within Japan, you have the usual pacifists who don't want anything remotely military (but are blissfully ignorant of reality and the need to STILL have a decent defense force; can't depend on the Americans for everything!), nationalists who don't want to deal with the reality Japan can't go it alone for defense (too expensive, not enough manpower to deal with China) and that it's not the power it was pre-WWII militarily, and the industrialists who want the contract business AND to keep Japan's technical edge so that it's not completely at the mercy of the whims of US policymakers. They also want Japan to have the ability to make its own weapons if it can't license certain systems like the F-22 which was refused by the US government.
As it was, the US probably ended up getting the better of the deal. Japan ended up transferring composite technology to the US in exchange for the F-16 plans. As it was, the Japanese "F-16 Zero" ended up not being much if any better than a Block 50 F-16C while at the same cost 4 times as much! $100 million for each F-2 is why the program was ended early and only about 92 are in service.
The F-2 is larger and heavier than the Block 50 but has the same engine and doesn't quite overcome the weight increase despite the larger wing. The Japanese could not export the F-2 under law because of both the Japanese constitutional bans on weapons exports AND the license agreement with the US. It was never going to be a profitable or cost-effective program but it ended up going well over-budget. As a consequence, the production of the F-2 was halved and the JASDF was forced to keep its surviving F-4s in service probably 10-15 years past their intended retirement. The F-2 was supposed to replace both the F-1 and F-4s in Japanese service but ended up replacing only the F-1.
This channel got me back into model kits after a 30 year hiatus. I would guess I learned 90-95% of my technique from watching these videos. The presentation max uses makes them more accessible and he gives his viewers, especially somebody just starting out, a lot of confidence to go out and try something new
Thanks Ben, so great to hear! Have fun, Sir! 😇
Fantastic work again max, really brill pain job to. The weathering really brings it to life. Well done my friend. I hope and your family are well buddy
Thanks Steve, and have fun with that Su-34! 🥳
Man that blue is beautiful. Why I love Japanese aircraft. Even their rf-4's are clean and beautiful. Definitely need to see if I can find this kit somewhere!! Also I wished they had full intakes in their normal f-16 kits would make a world of difference for me as I love being able to see the face of the intake blades.
This build could'nt have been posted at a better time! I bought one about 2 weeks ago from ebay and I'll be picking it up tomorrow. Can't wait to see this video. ( can't watch it now as I have to go to work now.) With that said, your vids are always informative and fun to watch.
Thanks, I hope you have fun and great success with your new project! 😊
22000 km/h !?
I threw in an extra 20K to see if anyone was paying attention. (Actually, I'm the world's worst typist!)
Noticed that as well
Hey, I'm loving the models you make, they are just amazing, I've learnt so much from you. I personally would like to see you do a revell p-61 black widow, I recently did one and there is many different ways for you to add details, for example you can have an engine showing
Ah, your comment about no mention of the model being slightly tail-heavy is really irritating. For a manufacturer to leave out that vital info ( or the pathetic 'may require nose weight' leaving us to guess how much is enough) has always frustrated me. Does Hasegawa think it's some kind of trade secret?
Your modeling skills are top-notch Tom. Thank you for calling out that gross error by this otherwise outstanding kit maker. Your builds are always inspiring.
Amazing paint job, How about working on the new F-35. I also have another idea of sending you models so you can build!
Hi Yousif, there's been a lot of demand for me to do an F-35. It is inevitable, I guess. 😉
Max_Afterburner keep up the good work!
Meng F-35 is the best one out there, can’t go wrong
It's nice work. Actually, masking way is very understandable. Also finish is very nice. I enjoyed, thank you !!
Thanks again パンツァーマイスター / panzer-meister 😉
The Viper-Zero looks amazing Max!! Now I need to find one and build it. As always keep it up. You and other have inspired me to start my own channel too. See you on the Next Video.
Thanks Agents and good luck! ✌️
Love these videos. I'm not even an aircraft modeller (mostly sci fi for me) but I have learnt so much watching these.
That's great to hear, thanks Enok 😀
The Mitsubishi F-2B looks pretty sharp !
Did you ever thought about doing a tiger stripe f-15 eagle someday ?
Hi Kacy, thanks for the sentiments! I think the F-15 would be interesting and doable, just need time... 😃
does this look like a Camaro or a Focke Wulf? UK: yes LOL
I’m building 1:72 models and it’s damn hard... Can you also get some videos about building 1:72 models?
Hi Admiral, I pretty much stay away from 1/72 scale as it's too small for me. I leave those tiny things to PLASMO's expertise.
Wow the detail of how the missiles are the mitsubishi version of the sidewinder instead, also some ASM's would have looked great.
Hi Chris, thanks for watching 😃
Brother, for sure you are not the best model kit builder in the world. But for sure, your channel and your vídeos are the best! Great and simple technique, awesome results and great video editing. I am a fan from Brazil and always want to see new videos from you. Confrats! Best regards
Thanks Leandro 🙂
Would be nice if you can zoom closer to the cupit detail actions and paints
Sir you're really into AB Zone.
Thanks Erlangga Raditya 🔥
Is this model bigger then the Hasegawa 1/48 Scale F-16 ?
Hi, I can't say, but I would imagine that they're close in size.
SOO KOOOOOLLLL.
Your work is awesome.
Mike Espo ...
Thanks much Mike! 😊
I have the Iwata Eclipse too and can generally go a few paint sessions between full teardown cleanings. Every time I finish a color, I half fill the paint cup with alcohol, wipe the sides and bottom of the cup and the exposed part of the needle with a Q-tip, and then spray the alcohol through the brush. Then I half fill again with airbrush cleaner, let it sit for a minute, then spray it through as well. I use Tamiya acrylics too, thinned 50/50, and have found this regimen works really well for me. I do have to do a full clean more often if I use a metallic paint or something thicker than my standard 50% Tamiya mix. Mission Models Have Glass V paint, for example. That takes a full cleaning each time.
Hi Josh, that's basically how I clean my airbrush between colors sans the airbrush cleaner. However, I do use a thicker ratio than you and that might be why I have problems and you're not having as much. Definitely anything "metallic" based seems to require an immediate clean up for me.
Great build!! I loved the Roger Corman clip from "A Bucket of Blood". Too funny!!!!
Thanks mr.modern44, enjoy it while you can 😉
Nice video with a lot to learn
However I know you're going with the Japanese samurai theme but that music is quite annoying lol
😛
That rain put me to sleep, where can I get the music?
Hi Brian, the music tracks are listed in the video description.
Excelentes vídeos en donde se muestran las técnicas de armado, pintado y acabados de los modelos presentados, saludos desde Poza Rica, Ver. México.
jesus jorge burgoa ramos ¡Muchas gracias!
Because of you video, now I buy this kit F2😁👍👍👍👍👍
Great 👍 😉 😊
If someone wanted to try to do this what all gear would they need and do you recommend any brands?
Hi swoosh13, in my more recent videos I display slides (after the intro for my model builds) of the materials and equipment I use which would be easier for you to view than for me to write that all out. I also follow those images with a specific list of the paints I used for that particular model "episode". I started this around Project #22 (A-7D Corsair II), but I suggest checking out the latest one or two of my video releases to see the most updated list of what I use. 🙂
What colors did you use for the Formation Slime Lights???
Hi Thomas, these appeared lighter than "normal" as seen on other aircraft, so I went with flat white. Looking at the overall completed model, I was happy with that choice as it appeared to match the real F-2 best. 😃
What a superb job. Apparently you leave in a place where it is raining a lot. 😂
Thanks Phillippe! 😉
What is the math involed to make you caouflage pattern??
Hi Phillip, I just released a video on that technique: rumble.com/vi8qrv-creating-paper-templates-for-camouflage-airbrushing-a-simple-guide.html
I'll probably upload it to YT someday in the future.
Nice build again. i noticed that you didn't install the other JASDF missiles for the F-2 like the AAM-4 and its main armaments, the ASM-1 and ASM-2 anti-ship missiles. About the successor of the Mitsubishi F-2's successor, the F-3, the JSDF is still undecided about it. So far, there are 4 options for the F-3:
1. Develop the domestically-developed Mitsubishi X-2 Shinshin into an armed fighter.
2. Take the offer of Lockheed Martin of an "F-22/F-35 Hybrid", F-22 frame but F-35 avionics
3. Take the offer of Northrop Grumman of a modernized version of the YF-23
4. A Japanese company will team up with the British to make a Japanese version of the Tempest.
Hi Bryan, the kit only included the four AAM-3 missiles with no other options for weapons. I have a feeling Japan will go with an F-35 type fighter...
@@MaxAfterburner The F-35A is already in Japan while the F-35B is still in order (42 I think and the DDH Izumo and Hyuga will be refitted to accommodate the F-35B). Mitsubishi (always the one for fixed-winged aircraft, same as the manufacturing of licensed-built F-35As in Japan) would gonna team up again with LM (just what they did with the F-2) for the F-3 development to minimize the cost. The F-3 will replace the F-2 in the 2030s (target date of the F-3 deployment) and they need also to have air superiority capabilities since the F-15J Kai (some will become F-15JSI (Japan Super Interceptor)) is already 40 years old
The F-2 has one of the nicest paint schemes seen on any Viper, a bit sad that they are literally limited edition JDMs (86 flying out of 94 built) and cost as much as a F-15. Also looking at the Hasegawa F-2 kit really shows how dated their 1/48 scale F-16 kits are, no full length intakes, plain blank landing gear wells, no polycaps for the tail surfaces and fixed LEFs and flaps.
For Japanese music, the bit from 5:29 to 5:51 sounds positively Irish. As for the rest, maybe it's just your taste in Japanese music bringing it out but I never noticed how bluesy it can sound.
Also, thanks for answering my (and I'm sure others') question about scraping vs. dry brushing. I've always been a scraper too. ;>)
Nice calming build video. I didn't see the implied potential difficulty you mentioned putting the fuselage halves together though.
Hi Mark, I just used some "Japanese" music that was available and didn't require some sort of royalty fee. I had to get down in and fiddle with the seats and consoles while joining the fuselage halves which I wasn't able to capture on video. You would have just seen the back of my head anyway! 🤭
@@MaxAfterburner Thanks. I get the "head in the way" bit. Used to be I was very nearsighted and could do that too. Now that I've had my cataracts out I don't have to wear glasses but to do fine work I need magnifiers which I can't see around my own fingers with. So, fine work is a lot harder than in the past and if I wanted to make video of it I'd have to mount the camera on the magnifier or something.
How many Aircraft models do you have by now?
Hi Jazzy, including the aircraft that I built before the days of UA-cam (that still survive), I counted a total of 24.
Really nice model Max! How about an F-104?
Thanks Michipard 2a5 👍
素敵です！ excellent job!
Hi lighterwow, 感謝 😇
Question: Is the Mitsubishi F-2 taller than the F-15? Could you add some size comparison between the latest and previous builds, please?
Hi Bryan, the F-15 definitely stands taller than the F-2 and the F-16. When my F-16 unit flew DCMs against F-15s , we were usually put in the hangar with the F-15 guys and got detailed tours from our fellow airmen around the Eagles -- much bigger!
@@MaxAfterburner Huh, so it is safely assured that there is still space for the 1/72 Mitsubishi F-2B at the back of the 1/72 F-15J. Thanks
That's a really beautiful scheme
Hi Mark, it's not the usual colors used for a military jet, but it looks nice and sporty. 😉
Would like to see your built collection
Hi Walter, I uploaded a video covering that which was up to date until mid-August 2020--> ua-cam.com/video/hoTdrBFNeM8/v-deo.html
I'll probably make a newer version covering just the channel builds sometime off in the future. 🤔
I like the F-2 / FSX. Loved it in Falcon 3.0 and it's interesting that the F-16 was the first modern fighter to get the "advanced" treatment. Bigger, better, etc, like the F/A-18 E/F.
First the Viper Zero, now the Viper? Faulcon DeLacy will start getting interested, at this rate.
I kind of want to see what you'd do with a fictional aircraft - like a Hasegawa Macross kit.
could you explain again how you calculate to use the paint diagrams as templates for your camouflage?
Hi Martin, I'm currently working on a "stand-alone" video going into detail about this process so that viewers don't have to re-watch my Su-27 Flanker B project. That particular episode has the most information presented on the subject currently.
Here it is now -- rumble.com/vi8qrv-creating-paper-templates-for-camouflage-airbrushing-a-simple-guide.html
Oh, and by the way... I know that japaboyz particularly love flowers, but seeing them on the vertical tails... Well.... Matter of tastes, of course X-DD
I love this channel.
Thanks Bob! 🥳
awesome video may I suggest a badger krome Airbrush they work great...keep them coming
Hi Gilbert, thanks for the suggestion. I just need to get more experienced on my new airbrush rather than giving it up. 🙂
色が美しい 綺麗
ありがとう、気に入ってくれてうれしいです
22,124 km/h? 🥺
The fastest jet fighter ever built! 🤣
Just a typo from long ago that's already noted in the video description. 😉
Good to see you back, after some time =) there are couple of comments I'll drop, randomly, as chat "adds-on" =)
Good that you showed us an overlay of the silhouettes of these crafts, at the beginning I said "mitsuwhat? Isn't that an F16?" I bet they must have been licensed to build this "raising sun" craft...
It's always amazing to see how a simple black priming adds so much to the realistic tone variations the top paint gets! Regarding primers, would you think that the real ones (or, say, those sold for this purpose) are indeed to thick to risk flattening of the surface details?
Regarding weathering, one thing heard from the guys used to do it (oil paints) after a clear gloss coat is that, when done directly on flat matt paint, oil color would not come off afterwards. You actually show that is not necessarily the case, interesting...
I would also be interested to know the answer to that guy asking about commission jobs... I tried to ask this questions to a few guys, but never got a reply, maybe too jealous to reveal this "secrets" I ;-) Nevertheless, considering that good 1/48 kits nowadays easily starts from 50$\€, if not more, considering all the time spent for building and painting, I guess that triple the price from a commission work would not sound as a crime. I am interested in getting opinions...
I guess that's it, for now... =) Cheers!
Thanks Andrea 😀
Beautifully painted and weathered once again mate. Another fantastic build video. Keep them coming!
Thanks James C 😀
Do you sell by any chance
Hi Jack in the box, I don't currently sell my models. I think there are much better models out there. These videos are just for fun and to entertain those who choose to watch 😊
@@MaxAfterburner oh well thanks anyway but can I a make a video recommendation and that would be the revelle Huey helicopter
This is a great kit , I enjoyed building one last year . Love the looks of the 2 seater . I agree the blues are nearly impossible to match-every photo is different .( I hand painted the upper surfaces in blue /dark blue/greeny blue splinter . ) I must save-up and get a set of those rather imposing Anti-Ship Missiles to fit on it .
Hi fred Ted, thanks for the comments. Hope you're doing great! 😃
@@MaxAfterburner I have started putting planes including F-2 on my channel , just 2 minute walk arounds . I would be interested in your opinion , if you get time ? Keep safe
Super job .....really enjoyed listening to your tips and explanations why you do certain things. The paint scheme and the process used turned out brilliantly!
Thanks Robert, glad you enjoyed the show! 😀
You are great. Your builds are awesome. I pause with my hobby many years ago. Cos of u now i start it again. U teach so many things in modelling. For me ur the best in youtube. Greetings from Poland.
Dziękuję Ci bardzo Michał !
