I used to mostly built what was available in the shops when I was a kid, but I've always been gravitating toward the more unusual models, like the Amerika Bomber and the P-40. I have the XFY-1 waiting to be assembled right now.
ME109 . Airfix . 1/32. If I remember correctly. Plus the old ''Red Barron'' in 1/72. Oh ,..klear floor polish can be used to both glue on clear plastic parts and cover them . If you dip a windshield , for example, in Klear, them let it drip dry, it will come out looking like glass rather than plastic. Headlight lenses, cockpit covers ,.. and you can use it to seat transfers too. Just paint the area under where you are going to place your transfer , let the klear almost dry (You want it just slightly less-than-completely-cured) then place your transfer as normal. The Klear provides a better surface than the paint and the transfer should seat in a little to the surface. You will need to varnish over the transfer with a matt or satin varnish. If you are varnishing, or sealing , the whole model anyway then this last part shouldn't matter. Make sure the transfer is completely dry and the klear is completely cured before you varnish or seal. Some brands provide special products for all this and, in fairness, they probably do a better job . Depends how much you want to spend, I guess. I'm a cheapskate.
Plenty. I have close to 200+ kits consisting of mostly military aircraft and armor. I built my first kit with my dad when I was 5 and I've been building every since. I'm 52 now.... P.S. Those sanding sponges are a godsend.
I've built too many to count, mostly for display but some for wargaming (I.e. sacrificing a bit of the detail to reduce the fragility). Almost all the aircraft I have built are in 1/72 and range from WWI fighters to modern jets.
I have been a committed Tamiya fan for 40 years. The catalogues, the radio control guidebooks, the promo videos from the height of the RC craze in the eighties. I have even been to the Shizuoka factory in Japan. I love tamiya kits and have built some several times over. Watching your zero come together was a real treat! It looks gorgeous even in the grey! Bravo!
A hint for you... Try to avoid using any solvent glue on canopies. (I use either Squadron 'Krystal Kleer' or Humbrol 'Clear fix' usually but any GOOD white wood glue will do that same job. IT is not a solvent for plastic and dries clear so is very useful for filling in those small gaps around the edges of the canopy. Bonus- it is also very simple to pop the canopy off for masking/painting without risking damage or breaking. Residue white glue can be easily removed with a sharp blade and new glue applied. It will hold the canopy in place well, even dried. Also, when painting, first paint the interior colour (either interior green or black), then the outer colour over it once the first coat is dry. The A6M-3 Model 22 was a development of the A6M-3 Model 32 (Allied code name : Hamp) designed to address some of the "Shortcomings" of the Successor to the Pearl Harbour/Early war Zero, the A6M-2 Modell 21 (Zeke). The more powerful engine increased fuel consumption and the Model 32 was the shortest ranged Zero produced and while the pilots liked the better roll rate of the clipped wingtips, the lesser wing area reduced maximum ceiling and speed. The Model 22 (Named to associate it with the Model 21!) restored the wingtips, and introduced extra fuel tanks in the wings to make this one the Zero with the Longest range! The Model 22 was also called the ZEKE, as were all subsequent models, as they were visually extremely similar to the original. In fact many crashed Model 22's were mis-identified as Model 52s (The A6M-5) as they were so similar in appearance....
I used to have problems with clear parts fogging with most glues but recently started using PVA glues and not looked back. on plus side the PVA drys clear and if still visible can be easily removed with a cotton bud and water.
I've been wanting to pick up this hobby from my youth again, but some of the scale model UA-camrs I've seen are on an astronomic level that simply makes me feel like I'll never be good enough. I find this simple, straightforward build very encouraging. Thanks!
My pleasure. I hope you get back to the hobby, it's quite fun and you should never feel pressured to go at anything other than your own pace when it comes to completing your build!
Thank you for being open (as a woman) to building model kits. Personally I love making models as a hobby. I did the Tamiya 1/48 Abrams tank recently and it was awesome!!
quick tip on clear part you can use Evergreen Canopy glue or some pva glue it dries clear it you have seen line make sure you file them and use plastic putty filler and sand it
I just love it when a Lady takes part in our hobby - I don't know why many more do. Model building is a totally absorbing, relaxing and very satisfying constructive hobby!! 😊👍
It is great to see you getting into the model kits. One good way to attach the clear parts, especially if you might want to remove them in the future, is thin white glue. It dries clear and won't affect the clarity of the parts. It is also easy to safely remove if it gets where you don't want it. I tend to primarily clean up parts with a very sharp hobby knife.
That's what I have been told but I couldn't find mine when I was filming, I haven't seen it since I moved a few months ago. I clearly need to grab more. lol
nice seeing a lady doing plastic models. even though not painted it looks good and far better than those i did as a kid with all the tube glue all over everything. i remember the satisfaction and could tell you had some of that too.
I use mod podge for all my clear parts like glass and headlight lenses for cars. Also is good for chrome parts like hubcaps. It dries crystal clear and doesn’t fog clear or chrome parts.
I built a A10 Warthog and a RAF Tornado. The tornado had swept wings and was able to have the Camo paint job line up as the wings articulated from swept to open. It was a fun kit.
I've built 2 of Tamiya's older mold Zero's and they were great, but I think you've inspired me to build the new mold version. In 2006 when I was working in the Solomon Islands I visited an old WW2 Japanese airfield on the island of Balalae. I crawled through many Japanese Betty bombers and there was a Zero and another twin recon plane. There actually is a Zero from Balalae island beautifully restored at the Pacific Aviation museum in Hawaii. I had a chance to go there in 2017 and it is amazing so if you ever get the chance go and check it out. Cheers from Australia.
What Brett says below about canopy glue. Regular white glue is what you want to use. Takes a while to dry, but is very forgiving. They sell specialized white glue for this, but frankly the Elmer’s you’ve been using since kindergarten works as well. Also, I think you’ll find most folks paint as they go, but certainly that would make your video into a series compilation and I’ve discovered there’s a whole group of people who build only with no paint at all.
A tip on clear parts like canopies, use good old elmers glue. It prevents any frosting. If you want to challenge yourself, try the new P-38J. You get to paint it with Metallic Silvers!! A challenge all on their own with weathering
This is an amazing company....I have been building thier kits since the early 80s....and I am totally hassed to see a woman into building model kits....very cool
Great work, always fun to build these. For the canopies they do sell Canopy glue designed to go on clear and not frost, Elmers makes a clear PVA glue that works well too. Hobby Lobby and most Hobby shops sell both and it's made specifically for clear plastic parts, a real life saver when building those 1/48th scale huge Bombers ;) Also makes Model car windows a snap as well. If you can find them the older Hasegawa and Fujimi WWII plane kits are a lot of fun, they can be a bit more challenging needing to clean up joints more and the instructions being vague in spots. Keep up the good work and videos!
Tamiya kits fall together as easy as making peanut-butter cookies - they are the perfect gifts for first-time kit modelers (child or adult)... Nothing but white glue for clear parts - and you get great, non-scratching, clear-lasting results if you pre-dip all clear parts in Future Floor Polish before building (look that up!)... Now, if you want a REAL challenge - get your Husband to bake cookies, period ;) Looking forward to your next build, Kid!
Tamiya's was one of my favourite brands, also if generally bought their tanks, being 1/72 my scale's choice for aircrafts , 'til I changed interests and started with 28mm sci-fi/fantasy stuff. Only a little complaint, such a beautiful model without paint is severely hampered, at least the interior you should've tried to paint, and then, when ready, paint the exterior.
I always enjoy your videos, even though I don't play 49k but as a scale modeler I like this type a bit more. I' do mostly armor cause it's easier to hide any mistakes with some mud and dirt 😁😁
If you are looking for a ship, a first good build would be either the Tamiya 1/350 scale destroyer USS Fletcher or the Trumpeter 1/350 scale destroyer escort USS England. Both are good, highly detailed ship kits for a first time build.
Totally love that you’re getting into scale model aircraft! Tamiya is pretty top notch quality too! I like to build 1/48 scale for use as scenery/terrain in Bolt Action.
Ooooh that's good to know, I have been curious about Bolt Action, if I can use these as terrain that would make for a very cool battlefield to play on!
Hello Angela, Nice video, very fun for a great subject, the Zero, a high quality kit to build. Your workspace is interesting too, as is your organisation for the preparation of parts. Good continuation in the hobby ! BR from France.
5:40 Extra thin cement and clear pieces don't go together. It'll run all over recessed areas or smaller pieces and ruin them. Unless melted and foggy looking glass is acceptable. If I had nothing else I'd risk using the regular Tamiya cement but solvents are a bad idea. Nice work too, it looks great fully assembled.
Lovely video, very well detailed and presented. Great workspace too! I haven't built a model since I was in my teens, I'm inspired to go and find a model to build!
I've actually used Tamiya Quick Setting Extra Thin on canopies with no fogging at all and just use it where the clear plastic touches the grey plastic. If there are any gaps that I need to fill, I will use white glue or Perfect Putty. I hope you do build a few more aircraft....maybe even getting into the painting and weathering. New sub to your channel as well!
Hello there dear Angela. Your assembly is very interesting, and I like it. I never did a Tamiya model kits as well. But, I do have some of them, and also I would like to get one MiG-29 in scale such as 1/72 as well. I have to ask you this, but I ask cause of curiosity, not as an insult to you (apologizes if I have insulted you). How come you haven't painted the model kit, and how come you haven't putted the decals, etc. (what is suppose to be done to model kits)? I remember also long time ago when I started doing model kits, that I also had difficulties, but I didn't give up. Also I'm happy when I didn't give up, cause of myself as well. Also looking forward to see that other plane as well that you have mentioned 🤗🤗🤗. And apologize for asking, but what's the next plane that you are going to do?
Dear Angela, may I suggest using 'crystal clear' this product has the same adhesive properties as tamiya extra thin, but when dries becomes clear. Also good for the wing tip navigation lights! Best Wishes Johnny
The panzer 38(t) was, in my opinion, the most important tank in the german arsenal. It made up 25% of all the german armor in all its variations. Marder tank destroyers, self propelled guns and the final version, the Hetzer. I don't believe Germany could have had the success it did had it not annexed the Czech Republic prior to the start of WW II and took over the facilities already producing this tank. They produced this tank throughout the entire war. Their factories remained untouched by bombs until February 1945! Paint the panzer.
Want to share with you a funny story when I asked my wife after I built one of my many World War II 30-second scale planes I said to my wife what do you think and she goes it's nice but it would have been better if you had a spinning propeller and machine gun effect on the wings so one day when she was dusting she dropped one or two maybe even three of my World War II model airplanes and the fact that I used crazy glue to put them together not modeling glue they cracked on the seams so I actually bought 7200 RPM Motor and I went to Radio Shack bought some LED lights and got a bicycle reflector LED tail light that had seven different speeds I hooked it all up got spinning propeller and machine guns blazing from the wings she loved it so did I and now I build all my planes this way!
Clothespins can really help with wing assembly. Rubber ands are more helpful for the fuselage. I wish you had painted the interiors. The first ship I built was the USS New Jersey. Model dinosaurs are also awesome.
According to my calculations the angle of the landing gear is a bit off. Something went wrong there. The wheels seem too far to the front. Does it end here or will you be painting it ?
For the beginner, yeah instructions might look a bit dense but try to take a look to the Dragon kits instructions, you'll learn a new definition of pain haha. Nice video, I really like your working place.
Hi Angela, Well done on your first aircraft model. It can be a bit daunting looking at the instructions for the first time, as with any type of modelling the more you build the more your confidence will as well. I am about to build Hobby Boss's Australian F111C jet bomber. Greetings from Australia.
you should try building the I.J.N Yamato kit from Tamiya, it's got a lot of parts but in the end is pretty awesome. another ship to consider is the I.J.N Mogami.
@@HobbyNight Yes. I am new to the hobby and starting out soon, I was just planning on just make my first cheap Revell model to practice on.Then i can practice painting techniques on it.
Have you thought of trying the Bandai Star Wars kits? For snap fit kits they are very impressive. Even their vehicle model mini kits are highly detailed.
@@HobbyNight The Razor Crest is one of their vehicle model series. Word of advice if you use the included sticker (it doesn't come with water slides), you need to get it right the first time. The stickers are decent and thin, but if you peel it off to correct the position it might not look as clean. The issue is the transparent sections between the lines. I have the non coated version which I painted. Not sure if the coated version has the same issue.
Contemporary tool and detailed, this is the best 1/48 kit of the M3/a type Zero out there, but like most of Tamiya's relatively new tool 1/48 aircraft releases, the price! Ouch!
You are very impressive putting together models but but one thing Why not paint cockpit . pilot, engine , whole plane camo color etc wheels all that why no paint ? love seeing girls or women putting models together that is awesome
Forgive me when you said your name all I heard was Angela but I feel there was more to it I really don't want to tell you how much I enjoyed your enthusiasm in the remarks you made about building this Mitsubishi zero was that a 32nd scale size second of all I really agree with you about the cockpit God I go through a lot of detail with the cockpit and the engine and I see other videos of people going even further than I go and when it gets all covered up I always wonder why did I go through so much detail but you did a wonderful job I encourage you to do more model builds maybe even take on doing a Star Trek Starship not the one 350 scale for starters please don't you'll get very discouraged start out with the 1/650 or 1/1,000 or 1/1400 scale then again forgive me because I might just be imposing my own fear about the 1/350 scale!
Please tell me you’re going to paint the next one as you build it.?.?. I know people build like this just to review the build/assembly quality of the kit, but I just can’t. I’m the kind of modeler that ends up putting detail where it would probably never be noticed or even possible to see at all. But, not a lick of paint anywhere? I suppose if I were getting “paid” ($$$ or free kits and/or supplies) I would do it, build as it is out of the box, no paint or extras or scratch buildings, but it would probably drive me nuts. I enjoy building dioramas, which typically takes several kits and accessories to populate, and that gets real expensive really fast. I’ve thought about trying to get a “job”/freelance/commission to do that, but it’s dang near impossible. “The Good Ole Boys Club” and their not accepting new members. 🤪😤🤬
What air plane models have you built?
I used to mostly built what was available in the shops when I was a kid, but I've always been gravitating toward the more unusual models, like the Amerika Bomber and the P-40. I have the XFY-1 waiting to be assembled right now.

@@adrianwintle5284 1/72 is THE airplane model scale for me. I prefer 1/32 for tanks though.

Sound advice there mate, a good PVA is the unsung hero of model building.
Good to see a lady doing this sort of thing 👍... we have a Mitsubishi Zero plane in a museum here in NZ 👍✈️🇳🇿
I love building Tamiya kits. They always seem to go together perfectly and rarely need a lot of filling or sanding.
I've been wanting to pick up this hobby from my youth again, but some of the scale model UA-camrs I've seen are on an astronomic level that simply makes me feel like I'll never be good enough. I find this simple, straightforward build very encouraging. Thanks!

Get ones with rubber tracks
For me, the real fun about modeling is painting. Hopefully you’ll give it a try sometime.
Pledge floor wax is a great protective coat and glue for clear parts. Tamiya has, by far, the best instructions.
Pledge can be used as glue for the clear parts??? 🤯 Time to do some Googling!
@@Guru_Swami It can also be used for glue on large flat pieces of PE. Sadly they are not making it anymore. I have several bottles in my stash.
Klear floor polish. Think it's the same thing.
Thanks for the tip!

JUST RECEIVED MY LONG-AWAITED TAMIYA'S P-51D
Woot!
Tamiya makes great kits. Built a couple myself. Just got one of their RC kits, really excellent.
Agreed!
I use mod podge for all my clear parts like glass and headlight lenses for cars. Also is good for chrome parts like hubcaps. It dries crystal clear and doesn’t fog clear or chrome parts.
Thanks for being another positive voice for the scale model hobby. Given your painting skills, you should give it a go on your next one!
I built a A10 Warthog and a RAF Tornado. The tornado had swept wings and was able to have the Camo paint job line up as the wings articulated from swept to open. It was a fun kit.
That sounds awesome!
I always use little tricks in my arsenal to get the detail in the kits to show and I use testers clear glue for all of the clear parts.
Oh, neat, I will keep that in mind!

Lovely build. I'd like to see how you would paint one of these
Great work, always fun to build these. For the canopies they do sell Canopy glue designed to go on clear and not frost, Elmers makes a clear PVA glue that works well too. Hobby Lobby and most Hobby shops sell both and it's made specifically for clear plastic parts, a real life saver when building those 1/48th scale huge Bombers ;) Also makes Model car windows a snap as well.

Outstanding work
Thank you very much!
Nice video! Also nice to see ladies that are into model building! I know there are some but they are far and few between.
Please, please, please, paint a model kit aircraft ! That one seems a toy of mine I did build when I was 8 !

I've actually used Tamiya Quick Setting Extra Thin on canopies with no fogging at all and just use it where the clear plastic touches the grey plastic.

Marder tank destroyers, self propelled guns and the final version, the Hetzer. I don't believe Germany could have had the success it did had it not annexed the Czech Republic prior to the start of WW II and took over the facilities already producing this tank. They produced this tank throughout the entire war. Their factories remained untouched by bombs until February 1945! Paint the panzer.
Go Girlie ! GO ! Great stuff ! :)
I clip parts off as I need them, it's easier to know what part is which, rather than have a pile of parts you can't remember the numbers of.
Loving it. Liked. Nuff said😃👍
Much appreciated! Thank you!
Want to share with you a funny story when I asked my wife after I built one of my many World War II 30-second scale planes I said to my wife what do you think and she goes it's nice but it would have been better if you had a spinning propeller and machine gun effect on the wings so one day when she was dusting she dropped one or two maybe even three of my World War II model airplanes and the fact that I used crazy glue to put them together not modeling glue they cracked on the seams so I actually bought 7200 RPM Motor and I went to Radio Shack bought some LED lights and got a bicycle reflector LED tail light that had seven different speeds I hooked it all up got spinning propeller and machine guns blazing from the wings she loved it so did I and now I build all my planes this way!
Clothespins can really help with wing assembly. Rubber ands are more helpful for the fuselage. I wish you had painted the interiors. The first ship I built was the USS New Jersey. Model dinosaurs are also awesome.
The designer pf the zero was Howard Hughes. The plans were stolen though the secretary of defense along with the plans for the dc3 also.
Good work
According to my calculations the angle of the landing gear is a bit off. Something went wrong there. The wheels seem too far to the front. Does it end here or will you be painting it ?
For the beginner, yeah instructions might look a bit dense but try to take a look to the Dragon kits instructions, you'll learn a new definition of pain haha. Nice video, I really like your working place.
haha yea, I find it very overwhelming at first glance, but it doesn't take long to grok them.
Have you ever built a kit by Roden? You'll think Dragons instructions are great compared to the Roden one's.
I have not!
@@HobbyNight are you going to try more 1/35 kits in the future?
I'd like to!
Hi Angela, Well done on your first aircraft model. It can be a bit daunting looking at the instructions for the first time, as with any type of modelling the more you build the more your confidence will as well. I am about to build Hobby Boss's Australian F111C jet bomber. Greetings from Australia.
you should try building the I.J.N Yamato kit from Tamiya, it's got a lot of parts but in the end is pretty awesome. another ship to consider is the I.J.N Mogami.
You are beautiful and talented.... I wish I could have found someone like you!!!!
Elmer's glue is a good and better than using the modeling cement.
Looks much nicer than the Hasegawa F14 I got recently. It was terrible, parts hardly fit, no lugs to join things etc. I’ll never buy Hasegawa again.
Is the pilot and cockpit going to be painted?
I'm not sure if I'll be painting this one. I really just wanted to build it.
@@HobbyNight Yes. I am new to the hobby and starting out soon, I was just planning on just make my first cheap Revell model to practice on.Then i can practice painting techniques on it.
That sounds like an excellent plan! One day I'll gain the courage to attempt painting the model as I build it like the instructions intend.
Use PVA Glue on clear plastic
Have you thought of trying the Bandai Star Wars kits? For snap fit kits they are very impressive. Even their vehicle model mini kits are highly detailed.
I actually have. The Razor Crest is on my short list of potential SW Bandai builds!
@@HobbyNight The Razor Crest is one of their vehicle model series. Word of advice if you use the included sticker (it doesn't come with water slides), you need to get it right the first time. The stickers are decent and thin, but if you peel it off to correct the position it might not look as clean. The issue is the transparent sections between the lines. I have the non coated version which I painted. Not sure if the coated version has the same issue.
Where can I get one of these?
Contemporary tool and detailed, this is the best 1/48 kit of the M3/a type Zero out there, but like most of Tamiya's relatively new tool 1/48 aircraft releases, the price! Ouch!
Seems like a lot of fun. And it's a nice change of pace from the usual. Do you plan to paint it as well?
I haven't decided yet!
Why don't u paint your merkava it Can bé awesome
You are so cool
Aw, thank you, I really appreciate that!
@@HobbyNight like Weird Science guys adding make her like gaming and making models
This is cool but it aint no Dakka Jet!!!!!
You are very impressive putting together models but but one thing Why not paint cockpit . pilot, engine , whole plane camo color etc wheels all that why no paint ? love seeing girls or women putting models together that is awesome
Forgive me when you said your name all I heard was Angela but I feel there was more to it I really don't want to tell you how much I enjoyed your enthusiasm in the remarks you made about building this Mitsubishi zero was that a 32nd scale size second of all I really agree with you about the cockpit God I go through a lot of detail with the cockpit and the engine and I see other videos of people going even further than I go and when it gets all covered up I always wonder why did I go through so much detail but you did a wonderful job I encourage you to do more model builds maybe even take on doing a Star Trek Starship not the one 350 scale for starters please don't you'll get very discouraged start out with the 1/650 or 1/1,000 or 1/1400 scale then again forgive me because I might just be imposing my own fear about the 1/350 scale!

Why no paint?
But the important question is do you fly it around the house going "nyaaooooooo"
Of course!
try a 1/24 car kit
No painting ? :(
Not this time!
Question
On my channel I have segment called meet the modeler would you be interested on join me and talk about the hobbies we both like to do
Please tell me you’re going to paint the next one as you build it.?.?.
I know people build like this just to review the build/assembly quality of the kit, but I just can’t. I’m the kind of modeler that ends up putting detail where it would probably never be noticed or even possible to see at all. But, not a lick of paint anywhere? I suppose if I were getting “paid” ($$$ or free kits and/or supplies) I would do it, build as it is out of the box, no paint or extras or scratch buildings, but it would probably drive me nuts. I enjoy building dioramas, which typically takes several kits and accessories to populate, and that gets real expensive really fast. I’ve thought about trying to get a “job”/freelance/commission to do that, but it’s dang near impossible. “The Good Ole Boys Club” and their not accepting new members. 🤪😤🤬
Salut my friend super aero super video subscribe subscribe
There is something wrong with those wheels. They are sticking out too far forward.
