Such a great episode as a background to the later (2024) series
Sir the trick with the sandpaper taped to the wing was very clever thinking. nice done , exellent work!
Sir, your willingness to take the time and share you skills and knowledge are greatly appreciated!
БЛЕСТЯЩЕЕ МАСТЕРСТВО!
You are both a natural born teacher and a great scale modeler , sir! Thanks for this series.
Thank you Paulo.
I thank you, sir, for both videos and your website, a treasure of valuable, well explained information for scale modelers!
@@scale-model-workshop You remind me of my Algebra teacher and friend in High School. He was also a great person to listen to and learn from. It is also interesting that his name is also Paul. We did model railroading together, but he also enjoyed my Airplane model kits that I also built. He and his wife Lenda really kept me going during a very rough time in my life. Great people. Thank you for this series of videos, I have 4 B26 kits to build someday soon here, I shall use this as a reference.
You are achieving a new level of how-to excellence in this series of videos. Your explanations of why you are doing something are as invaluable as the explanations of how to do things. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Your videos are real documentaries. I'm always amazed by the way you make them wiyh a great sense of professionalism. J'adore vos vidéos!
I enjoyed this video, mostly because dragging out old Monogram kits from way back when reminds me of my beginnings in modeling. I recently bought a Monogram/Revell "Personnel Carrier" (M3A1 Halftrack) kit. I bought it because I needed a halftrack, there are not many to choose from, it was available retail and was 20 bucks. It still has major parts with a 1957 mold date on them. :) I built this kit more than once back in the 1960s. Old school all the way with many inaccuracies but with a little cutting on the bulkhead and a set of scratch built seats (nothing nearly as elaborate as your work) it doesn't look bad on the shelf. Point is I suppose that sometimes you have to work with what you can get and with a little work old models can be made at least presentable or in your case excellent examples. Plus you get to try out and improve your skills. Great job and hopefully an inspiration to others.
I cant be the only one eagerly waiting for part 3.
Pat .... Part 3 is the "Straighten Up and Fly Right" ... but I'm with you .... I'd like to get back to it ..... I wanted to get more of the airbrush video's done because I'll be talking about painting and I want to have a reference already out. I really appreciate you staying interested, Thank you!
Scale Model Workshop I mean part 4 then haha. I'm glad the project is still in the works. Aside from the wealth of knowledge in your videos, there's something satisfying about seeing someone polish a turd.
I can honestly say, since i started watching your videos years ago, i went from being a nervous modeler to "the worst i can do, is mess it up" and trying new techniques. My builds are 1000x better than they were 3 years ago
i'm hoping that more progress has been done on the invader. i'm helping to restore N-917Y in Provo, Utah to flight status. beautiful bird and watching how you tackle the issues that the kit has is extremely entertaining and informative! thanks for what you do! thanks, Paul!!!
Fantastic Video build Paul. Very good explanation of techniques. Looking fwd to more.
Outstanding video and website, Doc.!
I can't stop watching you tutorials.

You attention to details and kraftsmanshift are incedible
Some really interesting techniques here! I like the focus on getting the shape and proportions right above all else for this project. I feel like many modelers can focus on the details but miss the big picture.
WOW! Impressive attention to detail and a hobby lesson all rolled into one! What a pleasure to view, and an easy way to improve MY model building. Thanks!
Fantastic! I know it's a lot of work to make these videos, but I love them!
This is an outstanding Series!! I've been building Model Aircraft since 1973.... For the first time, I feel like I can start doing some GOOD fine Details. I need to watch more of these first. 😉
I've got a 1:48th Scale P-61 waiting for some special touch!!
Nice series! Can't wait to see the final reveal. Take care.
Nice a lot of neat tricks to try. When it come to flaps on the wing and elevator I saw them off to start with. Then I take a piece of plastic tubing sliced in half glue in to the wing edge and the other half to the flaps. With some filing and sanding you get a very realistic working flap.
I built the B25 and B26 Monogram kits late 1950`s. Difference being they were the Speede built kits, mostly balsa but some plastic like nacelles , engines, props, wheels.
At the time there was plastic glue and wood glue and sanding sealer for balsa. This made a lot of things difficult. There was no CA, filler, epoxy, or fancy stuff we have today. Plain old Scotch tape was my masking tape
Like I said, 1958 .
I have searched EBAY looking to replace them, but no luck.
Also liked the Stromberg kits which wee solid wood. I did a B47 and some others.
Felicidades su trabajo es muy técnico, me gustaría que alguna sesión fuera con subtitulos en español
Cool trick with the CA & acrylic powder but I prefer "sproo goo" mostly because it's just a little easier to re-cut panel lines and rivets, but I think I will use CA & acrylic powder for re-enforcement because it does dry a bit faster than the goo does.
This is a first, literally! Oddly I’d just been watching your other videos. Anyway, time to watch this one.👍🏻
Great, great job ! Muitos parabéns e obrigado pela partilha!
wonderful skill
Thank you for the videos sir! You are a great teacher. Just wondering where you can get all of the different fillers and bonders that you talk about and use in these videos. Thank you!
We flew these in Vietnam , I can easily reproduce the markings on those However, while this series is excellent series with great references and the fact you are a professional builder, I'm sure the finished product looks outstanding, However, I prefer to build a kit, not remake it, and probably would not go to the lengths of modification you had to do in making this build out. I'd prefer to research a higher quality kit that fits together better and get pleasure out of putting it together. But thanks for the series
Wonderful video and website, Dr. Paul! Thank you for sharing your techniques. I'd love to use your method of using the dental acrylic powder and cyanoacrylate as a filler and/or support medium. Is there a source for us lay people to purchase the acrylic powder? Been all over Ebay, but can't tell if I'm seeing the correct medium. Any help would be appreciated.
You won't find it on Ebay ... it's pretty obscure even with dental suppliers. Here are some links you might be able to sneek in on a web order www.harrisdiscount.com/products/materials/acrylics/trubyte-triad/m.products/774/view/1411 (select Free Flow from the drop down) ... shop.benco.com/Product/1271-625/dentsply-pink-free-flow-repair-material-lab-powder-1lb .... www.pattersondental.com/Supplies/ItemDetail/072765006
How far does 1lb of Free Flow go? It looks like you're using relatively small amounts for a each filling job.
👍👍
Episode 3? 4?
What is that took you're using to do the cutting and grinding? Looks like a nice small version of a Dremmel or Proxxon. P.S. As others have said - great tips and viewpoints.
What dental powder do you use and where do you obtain it? Would manicurist’s acrylic nail powder work as a substitute?
Where can I get some of that Dental Acrylic powder?
AF White
I use baking soda applied after the CA glue is applied,it speeds drying time and gives structural strength to the pieces joined
I have seen in videos people using ca and baking soda or ca and baking powder - have you ever tried these combinations? How do they stack up to the ca and dental powder? Following your links to sites that have said dental powder they are not cheap. If you don’t like baking powder or baking soda what if any substance could be used instead of expensive dental powder? I see both products you have links to are 1lb. How long does a pound of this stuff last you in model making? I watch all your videos and it appears this is your go to stuff for a lot of things.
Captain Zappa Baking powder and baking soda are a very poor substitute ... absolutely no comparison. A 464 gram container of Free Flow will last you for years. I will have a video back up on dental acrylic, so you might want to wait.
Do you have a link where we can get the same product or a other product with the same qualities as the pink powder?
nice video ! +1s you now !^^
