Nicely done mate , orderd the same model yesterday and the engine and extra gun bays and metal flaps , cant wait to start . And i learned some new stuff from you , thx mate
Does the model come with a decal of the tail fin swastika? I know some model companies, namely Airfix for one, at least sometimes doesn't provide them and maybe (probably)never. I understand the PC reason behind it of course, but I'm personally a stickler for historical accuracy and don't feel the need to demonstrate my aversion to Nazism by eradicating the symbol from a historically accurate model. It has occurred to me that perhaps I'll have to stencil them and paint them on. Do you know if you can get after market decals of them, or do some model manufacturers provide them?
In some countries it's not so much just being PC, as it's actually illegal to sell the kits with, or display a swastika in any form. That's also why UA-cam and Facebook make a fuss over it- they're international forums, that are accessible in countries where it would be against the law for them to allow it to be displayed, and yes, that's even in a historical context.
Excellent work!
Excellent build of one of my favorite model kits.

Well played, mate🫡
Brilliant. What size needle do you use for post shading and fine detail?
Fengda BD 180 with 0.25 needle
Nice, did u paint the MGs with a brush? How do u make that wire from the Cockpit to the tail?
hi yes and the antenna is a piece of sprue extended above the flame
Sand the bottom of the wheels to replica the weight of the aircraft.
the wheels are sanded.
it is visible in time 19:50
Amazing job!!
Did you use any liquid to remove the film on the decals?
Zippo, lighter fluid
@@rbmodel-czech thanks for you fast response! Isn't that dangerous for the decal or for the paint job?
No, if the varnish is acrylic, the lighter behaves in the same way as enamel thinner
@@rbmodel-czech I use gunze lacquer varnish!
what is used to wash the decal, pull down the membranes?

Yes swastika is in kit included.
