It takes balls to painto those jet engines black, without masking the beautiful paint job on the fuselage. Hats off!
I've now experienced two Das Werk kits in 1/72 scale. Their Great War U9 Uboat, that almost built itself, it was that prescise and now this beauty built by James.
Although I haven't built any aircraft kits in years because I ran out of subjects in 1/48, coupled with a narrow interest in WW2 era piston aircraft and airliners up until the beginning of the Jet age.
None ever received the stunning detail of the kind seen here. In those days, that high level of authentic detail was unknown to us at the time. We built our models just the way they would have appeared as they rolled out of the factory for the first time.
This is amazing work. You’re up there with Plasmo and Night Shift as one of UA-cam’s greats!
Each with their own specialities. Plasmo is a great painter but an even better builder. LPJ is a good builder but a stunning painter.
Dont forget Laser Creation world ☺️
What a beautiful build of a beautiful kit. Now I want to build up a “project paperclip” what-if version with American NACA markings complete with X-plane designation, extended fuselage containing retractable tricycle landing gear “borrowed” from a late WW2 American fighter and extra fuel tankage, all-aluminum wings and what the hell, the rocket engine installed too instead of the RATO bottles. That would be a very American “why not?” thing to do.
Now that is a cool idea 💡
Awesome work! I really like the heat staining you did on the pulse jets and the wood grain decals came out great.
What a different subject and plenty of different techniques to keep the builders interest. Lovely finish, thanks.
Thanks a lot VooDoo Nights !
Fantastic job. I've watched this many times over the years, looking forward to tackling mine using the same aftermarket accessories you've used here. It's all ready to go
Starting soon ? Best of luck with the build and thanks for the support
So many layers of paint, but when applied deftly, they work. Excellent work, and artist's touch!
Thanks Steven !
Wirklich gelungen, sie sieht so authentisch aus. Die Lackierung lässt einem vergessen, dass es sich eigentlich um ein Model handelt.
Well, now we can see where the idea for the Enterprise nacelles came from!
Engage !
They should have used this in the Enterprise Intro for the mirror universe episodes!
Beam me up, Scotty!!
Another phenomenal build. If I could do this, then these lock down times would be a breeze.
Thanks my friend !
I bought the kit, got the supplies and will be ready to build. Thanks for an excellent video.
Thank you John
I never once thought the A-10 was an original concept design...
I think the twin engine here was only put down on paper, but the seeds were sown for the a10 !
@@lpjmodels The 126 was thought as a ground attack aircraft, the 127 with the rocket engine as a light fighter *. . .*
That was my first thought too!
It looks like an early version of the A-10 Warthog.
It would not be the first case of intellectual property theft of German inventions by American companies.
I just remember the Northrop B-2 whose design and idea was copied and stolen from the German Horten Ho 229.
Even then, German engineers were decades ahead of the United States.
Likewise with space travel, it was the same there.
Without German developments and Wernher von Braun, there would probably have been no NASA and the USA would not have landed on the moon today...
@@lpjmodels it was originally planned w onlu one engine by the Germans, but was quickly found to be underpowered like that
The only real common design elements are the dual rear engine nacelles and the tail arrangement. Both aircraft have straight wings because they fly slowly by modern fighter standards.
Dual rear engines were iirc first used on an early WW2 Italian recon aircraft. It didn’t catch on much because they were harder to access for maintenance until later. They became more common on civilian airliners and for example the Lear executive jet.
That tail arrangement was used by many countries in the interwar period and on WW2 aircraft, British and American bombers in particular.
The German aircraft seen here were designed as a fast response interceptor while the A-10 was air infantry support from its inception. If the Germans had thought they could fit this aircraft with swept wings that wouldn’t tear off in flight they would have, for greater speed in its intended role. The A-10 must fly relatively slowly to achieve its mission; swept wings would be a hindrance. If you look at early design sketches of the A-10 you will see several different tail arrangements. The one used was chosen because the vertical tails give better control authority at slower speeds.
Just because you see some design elements common to two aircraft from different times does not imply that one is a deliberate derivation of the other. There are definitely some historical cases of that, but I don’t think that this is one of them.
Très belle réalisation !
Les commentaires sont sobres et pertinents.
Bravo !
I didn't know this kit was out! This'll go on the "must have" list. Great job on the pit, looks like a straight forward build. Beautiful shading on the engine housings.Decals and shading came out real good! Great build! Congrats!
Thanks Bob ! Its a great kit you'll enjoy it
Been seeing pictures of this on r/modelmaking, absolutely superb job!
Thanks Scallie, I should spend a lot more time on there the community is great !
Howdy James, I have this kit on order and plan to modify it somewhat. My plan is to update it with some scratch building and accessories from my sprue stash to represent a futuristic space craft. The factory cradle will be modified to represent a launching station. The Das Werk's two engines just called out to me as a reasons to join the Star Trek fleet of friends and foes. Best regards, Robert.
That sounds awesome, I'm a closet trekkie so thats right up my street best of luck !
still wonderful, even after 3 years. Well done for both, the model AND the video.
Greetings from USA, James, and this is a very nice build you've done here. Bravo! I have this kit myself and completed it about 2 months ago. I likewise thought it was an excellent build and I thought your dual nacelles turned out far better than mine so I'm a teensy bit jealous.
Thanks Kip ! The nacelles were a bit touch and go for me but they came out ok! Thanks for the kind works !
She's a beauty mate, very unusual subject too, the crazy blueprint/prototype designs are always fun!
Thanks mate ! Yeah I always liked the 46 stuff but hadn't dipped my toes in till today !
What an absolutely masterful build James. Not only interesting but relaxing too. I may build one of these one day. Keep it up mate your work is sublime and your videos superb
Thanks Mate as always, I'm stoked you're still enjoying them! Many thanks!
LPJ Models pleasure is all mine James
Well James, such lovely work & such a great subject keep up the good work. Happy Modelling.
Absolute gem of a build.....great colour scheme, terrific commentary and impressive building skills, James. It's a model I've been eyeing off for a week or so and you have made my mind up to get one....btw, I just purchased some VMS transparency glue....great tip so thanks!!
Thanks Robbo ! I appreciate the feedback on the video, it helps more than you think, its a great kit you won't be disappointed.
What a interesting and lovely little kit,i've never seen that one before, it was a fun thing to watch ,really relaxing,can't wait for the next one great job .
Thanks Mel!
An excellent build and video. Forty years ago in my apprenticeship I made a working model scale pulse jet from plans available in a book. I made this aircraft as a control line model for the pulse jet to power. Mine was a single engine design like the V1. I've never seen the twin engine version but it looks really good. I don't think the actual aircraft was ever built but I suspect a twin engine scheme was found somewhere as a basis for this kit. I can't see it being a practical aircraft as pulse jets are not really "throttleable" and I don't think it would be possible to stop and restart them either. You would be continually charging about the sky at max chat.
Thanks Allan , That sounds like it was a fun project!
The Soviets tested a single engine version after the war , imagine the noise as well, pulsejets aren't quiet
@@lpjmodels Yes they are terribly noisy. The model pulse jet was like one of those air horns about 2 inches from your ear. Also a really weird sound in flight, nothing like a turbojet engine. Mine either either started or belched fire everywhere. I can see how the engine would work on a V1 where it just takes off and flies as fast as it can to a target but to maneuver where you need throttle control is not possible. I suspect the soviets made one and decided it was not practical as a fighter aircraft.
@@allanrichards6448 there's an interesting article here on its development and testing
hugojunkers.bplaced.net/junkers-ef126.html
It was hugely impractical, I completely agree.. Good for unguided bombs, bad news for pilots
@@lpjmodels Thanks for the article, really interesting. Its making me want to dig out the pulse jet. Its still in the loft!!!
Looking foward to this , mine arrived Saturday and will be my next build.
Thanks Steve ! I hope you enjoy the Vid
Your technique is great. The color variations was impressive.
Thanks Stephen !
Really an awesome build, I bought the exact kit on Australian release date, but yet found have time to build it, thank you so much for sharing your work, it is so inspiring.
Thankyou Aaron, I hope you have as good a time building yours as I did mine
Man! You did a fantastic job on her! Thanks for sharing your work. Cheers!
Thanks Pete !
Amazing stuff! Love how the EF-126/127 turned out!
Thanks VMS !
Nice build and a great result. Those Pulse jets, RATO's and R4M's will come in handy for making some interesting He 162, Me 262 or FW 190 variants.
Thanks Richey, thats true! I'm sure someone will be doing something like that soon. There's a lot of choices that they could be used for . Thanks for watching!
This is freaking awesome James! I know it's a year old, but first time viewing this build! You are quickly moving up to my favorite builder on UA-cam! Always a killer job on your models!!! Cheers 🍻
What a brilliant job on a great model.
Thanks a lot David !
Beautiful build and weathering and the wood effect decals give it the finishing touch well done marra ! Regards Gav.
Flawless paintwork, Look's stunning
Very very nice. I just want to say that if this plane had landed, the metalic belly would be full of stripes and dirt. But this is trully a nice painting.
True good point ! I wanted to keep the weathering safe on this one though ! Thanks for the kind words !
Looks like the demon-spawn of a HE-162 and a V1..
Fantastic work and until now, I hadn't heard of VMS products
Very nice work on that Das Wreck kit.
I was dripping with anticipation at this and wasnt let down at the end result.
Thanks Mr Finger ! Im glad I delivered
Gorgeous. I am impressed with the quality of the model and the assembling. Very nice.
Looks amazing! Thunderbirds are Go! Stunning job mate!
Thanks !
Thank you very much UA-cam for recommending this channel! This is content, I want to see! There are many tips in this video, that I will remember, when I make a plane the next time. The Model looks great! Keep up the good work!
Got one question: Im affraid of using enamel colors in my airbrush. Im new to the hole topic and only used acrylic, because you dont need thinner to clean the Airbrush. Do you use the thinner in between for a small cleanup of the airbrush and clean it afterwards when you are done or how do you do it? I dont know how and I appreciate any help!
Sorry for some spelling mistakes; Greetings from Germany, Luke!
Hallo Luke, vielen Danke !
Thankyou very much, im really pleased you enjoyed the video.
I know a little german but not enough to reply properly.
In cleaning the airbrush you are right, flush each colour through afterwards and then give the airbrush a good clean afterwards.
I use lacquer or cellulose thinners when deep cleaning as it really cleans out most things..
For regular cleaning I use VMS airbrush cleaner.
Thankyou !
James
@@lpjmodels Thank you for the very fast answer! Gonna try it out next time I pull out the Airbrush! Now at least I know, that I will use tons of thinner in the future, so 1 bottle of the Revell Thinner wont be enough... 😂
No problem, that you cant answer in german; I understand english quiet good, but im not sure, if I say the correct things in english...
Im looking forward to see some nice videos in the future! Really good work!
Greetings, Luke!
You did a amazing job on this! Very beautiful metallic painting
Utterly excellent work. I can well imagine that thee will be many variations of this aircraft on tables at models shows in 2021.
I Think you're right Chancer, there will be a few about, especially at the price the kit goes for.
12:54 - looks like the original Starship Enterprise engine pods > what a beautiful plane , so futuristic !! 30:00 Modelling tip , if you stop biting your nails , you can use them for peeling off tape and other useful things 😍😍
Fantastic build
Cheers John!
Thank you for another TOP artwork you have done again - i really enyoy the video! Imagine the sound of TWO Doodlebugs on its back... OMG !!! Please stay safe and healthy !!! Frank
It would definitely cause a racket thats for sure mate !
Beautiful Build, great work my friend..
Many thanks Henry !
Impresionante. Gran trabajo.
Thankyou Victor
superb video... I suddenly have an urgent need to order this kit 😍😍😍
It's really nice to build !
Mate what can I say other than absolutely stunning work, keep these vids coming🤓😉👍
Thanks Dave ! More soon my friend
Thanks for the amazing video. Quick question, did you paint the gloss gx2 over Stynlrez on the bottom, or directly onto the plastic?
Thanks Dave, you can use the GX2 straight on plastic as I have done in the past, this time I primed underneath.
*This kit makes the "buzz" and it's very nice, in your hands it's amazing! 👍👍*
Thanks my friend!
Excellent build and the video is fantastic! Congratulations!
Well done, congratulations.
Thanks Anna !
Great kit expertly made and finished. Thanks!
Stunning work! Not familiar with the VMS brand of hobby products you are using, will have to look them up and see if they are available in the US.
Thanks Brian, I think Hobbyworld do a selection
great job nice man it is already possible to start calling you master
At t = 10:50 you mentioned that you snipped off the distal end of the pitot tube, and drilled a 0.2 mm hole in the stump. You then said that you would build one from scratch later on, but I don't think you ever explained how you did that. I would be very interested in knowing!
I really love it.Congratulations!!
A really nice job 👍 James I'm in the process of doing my one and I'm going to get a second one as well
Thanks John, its a kit that has too many options, ( a second one is definitely needed )
Excellent build! Can I ask what you clean your brush with after using the VMS cement? Thanks
Thanks Forestfan1973, I keep a brush aside for just the VMS Cement, though the solvent soon evaporates out, if I wanted to recondition it for painting I might try the Masters Brush Cleaner. ( my usual every so often brush cleaner) it gets most things out.
Brilliant! Always inspiring. Thanks for the mention at the end. 🙂
Thanks Sera !
I really like the idea to have the bottom rough mixing wood and metallic areas. The result is stunning!!
I also like very much the VMS products. A little question; how long do you let cure the varnish before proceeding to the oil wash. VMS says that you have to wait 3 days...
Thanks Alex !
With the varnish I usually start using oils straight after the varnish is dry.. that being said you need to be more careful. It is better to leave it for a good while for the acrylic to cure before applying oils, just in case.
Also the strength of the oil thinners comes into play as well. A hotter oil thinner in my experience will penetrate the underlying acrylic layer a lot easier.
So far I have found the oil enhancing medium (VMS) and the AK odourless and household white spirit OK.
Your milage may vary so give it a test first !
Outstanding Build!
Beautiful job👍👍👍
Thanks Leon !
It's the Enterprise!!!!
Excellent job James 👍
Thanks Mate !
Beautiful work mate. 👍👍
Замечательный самолёт! Интересно как бы он смог изменить ход войны . Две скорострельные пушки плюс ракеты это здорово ! Ме 262 тяжёл это верно ,а этот больше похож на Хенкель Саломандра . Возможно на вираже он немного уступает так .. Хорош!
It was a cool aircraft ! Shame we didn't see one fly
Just an outstanding build. Love it
nice build James, and nicely done video. The product placement is a bit over the top with VMS though, hope they are paying you to do this...
Hi Earl, thanks ! Thanks for the feedback, I'm still working out the best balance with things, I was surprised to be contacted by VMS, being a small channel and only at the beginning really of my youtube journey ( must be nearly 2 years now and 1 year of the content being more polished).
VMS have just started supporting me, and after trying some of the products I agreed. Everything I have used so far I have had great success with.
If a product doesn't live up to its name, from any manufacturer, it won't get into a video, because I want people to have a good experience with modelling and not have to mess around.
Sorry for the long Spiel, I totally see where your coming from and just wanted to put in my bit, I still have loads to learn and ill take that on board. Thankyou, sincerely, for the comment ! James
Great job critiquing the model and doing the build. Quite impressive.
Thanks Harry !
Really nice work!!
Thankyou Mark
Great build, how many ' what if ' paint schemes can you think of.
Fantastic build, really enjoyed that one.
Another fine model👌🏻
Excellent work sir! Subbed
Thankyou !
Awesome as per usual!
Thanks mate !
Amazing job, congratulations :)
Thankyou
Wow, looks great !
Great video, love the final result. Yes i know im late for the party but slowly catching up :)
Very cool build and very unique!! Thanks for sharing, well done!! P.S. you have a new subscriber also.
Thankyou!
Super Job 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very Nice video. I have to built it for my next project and you giving me some tips. Thanks 👍
Pure genius!
Great build !!
I enjoyed the video very much. Wonderful job; I even saw a couple of things I plan to nick for myself! M
GREAT Work 👍
How long do you normally wait to lay varnish on those decals?
Hello great job I love it . 🙂😉
Who could have imagined all this stuff 20, 25 years ago. You how many superseded vac and short run blobs I have? LOL
It takes a lot more skill to knock up a good vac form than I have ! The advances in modelling have been really cool to see.. I first started about 11 years ago and the stuff then was getting cool. After a few years off the change was phenomenal.
Looks great !
Thanks !
Great build! Can I ask the ratio the used with the varnish and thinner please?
I use this varnish now with no thinner. Works better. Bit of a squeeze through a 0.15 tho
@@lpjmodels thank you. I tried it for the first time through a 0.4 and did at least 20psi if not more and it did not come out from the airbrush great. Felt like it kept stopping and I’d have to go full whack on the trigger to ‘unblock’ and continue until it did it again. Trying to troubleshoot
@@StevenSeabass that's bizzare. It can be a little sticky. Might there be some residue from a previous paint in the nozzle?
@@lpjmodels Thank you for responding. I will have to take it apart and try and clean it again.
Nice looks good.
Wow......just wow......😮
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Super travail à traduire
Good evening
A realy nice work
And a intresting kit
Maybe my next project. Big smileys modelcomrade
Thanks Christian!
Wow the Germans also invented the warp drive nacelles :-))) Looks like Zefram Chochranes plane :-)))))
