The world needs more of your humour, and your builds are top notch for a knob.
Mossie is my favorite WW2 plane. My great grandmother built them, after getting demoted from whacking artillery shells with a hammer.
It's absolutely criminal that we don't have one flying on the UK airshow circuit
One is on the way, but a few years off yet
Yeah it is a bit, everyone else has one. Since I started this project and research, did not realise how many were air worthy and how different they were.
Anyway we did have one flying a fair few years back, but unfortunately that one crashed killing the crew. We will have one soon.
When a flying one came up for auction no one in UK bid it sold to a USA collector. a while later the only uK crashed due to pilot error at an airshow.
The Peoples Mosquito Project... sign up and offer them a couple of quid to get done faster.
@@garybrindle6715Yeah that was a nasty crash, apparently something to do with the engines, one had a flaw or something. Not nice either way
70 years old and you cannot beat the sound of the 2 merlin engines
I must admit, you hear aircraft flying over all the time, but when you here a merlin you snap your head around to have a look.
I always get goose pimples when I here a warbird.
"A Pharaohs' willy" I can't un see that, excellent work, this project is going to be as good as the real aircraft. Beautiful job.
Thank you so much for the very kind comments👍👍👍
Do think that there is a large amount of details missing from the kit, but hey.
Yeah the willy bit, did get stuck in my head, but i meant to say Mummys Willy.
Bloody incredible from a child modeller 🎉🎉
Thank you so so much👍👍👍
Amazing modler, love your video and smart ass jokes 🤣🤣
Thank you the kind comments and I love doing the fun part to my videos👍👍👍
He is a tip for others, explain whilst doing! Right? No lengthy explanation before doing. Well done on this video.
Thank you so much for the kind words all the best👍👍👍
Those other levers next to the throttles are the propellers levers to adjust the RPM. The Mossie had constant speed props like many high-performance aircraft. The level of detail/skill you’re demonstrating is amazing! The Mossie is my favorite airplane of WW2.
Thank you for the heads up on the throttle quadrant. I had the book to refer to for the info when I do my voiceover, but totally forgot.
Your an Artist mate and I like ya !
Thank you for the very kind comments, really appreciate it👍👍👍
Great looking build. My favourite warbird, and so underrated.
Thank you so much for the very nice comment. Yeah the Mosquito is a beautiful aircraft and one that is always overtaken by the Spitfire with likes, but the mosquito was the most feared by the Germans, giving anyone who shot one down 2 kills.
All the best, Rob
Wouldn’t exactly call it underrated!
@@stevena9305not underrated by a long shot, well the they laughed at a wooden aircraft faster than anything when it was announced, then we it was test flown everybody realised it was going to be a winner. I have huge respect and admiration to everyone who flew in one during the war
Excellent work!
Thank you so much cheers👍👍👍
im envious of your skills and talents... the Mossie is one of my top 3 ww2 planes, with the tbm avenger and p-47
Thank you so much for your kind words, the mossie is a beautiful aircraft and definitely a favourite of mine as well👍👍👍
Great video love the humour element
That is going to be a fantastic build, when you have it finished, I liked how you redone the control peddles, good luck with the rest of the project, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👌👍👌👍
Thank you so much mate👍👍👍 really trying to make the kit easier to put together and reduce the headaches, but giving myself more work🤣
Here's what I do to cover any holes: I use "green stuff" from Citadel, makes it visually a little easier to know if the hole I covered will be visible once painted
At this scale the size is large enough that the extra details you are adding should have been there from the start. This is looking fantastic and I look forward to seeing the rest of the build.
Thank you so much, blown away by your kind comments.👍👍👍
Yeah I totally agree, you do look at the kit and think this will be awesome and then when you put it together and look at references they missed nearly everything.
Oh well, just got to get her done by Telford.
Impressive that you trusted yourself to paint the yellow instrument details around the dials after you'd fixed in the decals.....I would've ballsed that right up! Looking forward to watching the rest of this.
Thank you so much for the comments, really appreciate it👍👍👍
Yeah i usually do mess up that bit, but I did take my time on that bit. I am sure you are more than able to do exactly the same and make it perfect.
Truely awesome
Thank you for the very kind words means a lot👍👍👍
Looking forward to this... from a Brit in NZ!
Thank you mate, more videos will be up soon and I am working on all the other bits.
All the best👍👍👍
Superb skills, great commentary! The hobby is fun again. It's easy when you know how! It's not hard at all........
Thank you so much, really appreciate it.
Yeah it is when you sit there for a couple of days and think of what can be done and how we can use anything to make what we want.
I think the hobby needs some fun and both me and Lenny at RTBModels have said in the past, we will never go serious and keep it fun. While showing how we love the hobby and modelling.
All the best
@@frontlinemodelhobbies653 Great stuff! Already looking forward to the next.........post🤪
Just found your channel. Love your work! Can’t wait to review your previous builds.
Thank you so much, really appreciate it👍👍👍
just gorgeous
I bought this kit for £45 in a London home furnishings shop about 10 years ago simply to make some money on...I put it on eBay and sold it for £110 rubbing my hands together...Then 2 years ago I got back into the hobby and now I can't justify the £250 it's going for these days....and I'd love it...Arggghhh!...I'm not a wheeler dealer and this was an exception for me but was an obvious cash return...I got bitten...Never again!
I found cutting brass with a No3 you go through blades like nobody's business and there is chance they will break spectacularly. If you can still get them Exacto Handles with spent blades are great, saved spent blades over years. Built the landing gear of a scratch built Aliens Cheyne drop ship in brass, the internal frame of a 1/24 scale 3.5 foot high Scout Battlemech and the spine of an Eagle Transporter in brass tubing.
Thank you for the heads up on the idea of using the different blades👍👍
@@frontlinemodelhobbies653 No worries, I look forward to seeing the Mossie progress.
Professional 👍
Thank you so much👍👍👍
Nice mate. Subscribed so I can watch your next video.
Thank you for the really nice comment and becoming a subscriber. Thank you so much👍👍👍
“Nobody got time for that”
I beg to differ … i am trying to learn all this and ABSOLUTELY have time for six hours of instructional video.
The mosquito was built right here in the town I live in . They were still dehavilland up until a few years ago . We also built those great big twin rotor Chinook helicopters just 20 miles south of Niagara falls Canada.
Is that you Rob? its Mol & Dave from our meet ups a few years ago. class build btw
Beautiful craftmanship on the model and teh video!
Also, I like your narrating - calm and funny at teh same time.
00:30 Mosquito Porn - THE perfect description of the section. 🤣🤣🤣
23:05 Not laughing, just chuckling.😁 Jokes aside, good on the wife for being so supportive! Nice to see. 🙂
28:15 I was already laughing at the pronounciation of "Control Knob". 😆
33:45 SHUT UP! You are top 5% skill-wise! I hate this toxic self-belittlement so many great people show. In my mind it is absolutely fine to aknowledge one own's skill at things. Just don't be a c**t about it.
Greetings from Germany
Thank you so much, blown away by your very kind comments and the breakdown👍👍👍
Yeah the Porn, it is a definite requirement for the Mossie description.
Yeah my wife does nails and has her own business, so she gave me her old UV lamp, which I thought what the hell, I cannot show that on my videos. Oh well.
Yeah the Control Nob is in the book, got me as well, had to record that bit nearly 15 times because i kept laughing.
And thank you for the kind comments on my skill level. We are our own worst critic when looking at our models. I will never be one of the people who thinks they are awesome, but I do need to have believe in my skills, which is I think the case for most people. If you have doubt then you will not do it, but if you believe in yourself, then it will go your way.
Sorry for the essay. All the best to yourself and to your country. Absolutely love Germany and we loved Berlin.
Rob
Just found your channel amazing skills, I really hope your going to do the 1/24th spitfire from Airfix at some point,
Thank you for the very kind comments👍👍👍
We shall see, not on my to do list, but if people want to see it built I would be quite happy to do so🤔
The end result is fantastic, but there are a lot of very fragile fiddly parts, some just break getting them off the sprue, the undercarriage is very weak
Thank you so much, very much appreciated for the kind comments.
Tell me about, the landing gear will be a stand alone of how to improve the mossie gear. Also the little parts to break a lot, but what i find weird is the large parts have such an excellent fit, but the small parts are vague and lacking detail. Weird to me anyway
Nobody expects gnarly shit! Just like nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.
🤣🤣🤣, no, no gnarly shit here, its like trying to carve a beautiful spanish women dancer out a lump of shit. Ill get there tho
Incredible, should have far more subscribers,although i do prefer to have the sound off🤔
How liquid is that nail polish? I'm wondering if it could be applied with a hypodermic needle.
My wife says that it is liquid enough to go through a hypodermic needle and what a great idea, but will need to flush it out with some solvents or replace the needle every time.
But I will give it a go and see what happens. The liquid only takes your time to put it in and 2 mins under the UV lamp, and you can mix acrylics in it as well.
Thanks for the heads up👍👍👍
@@frontlinemodelhobbies653 I think they're pretty cheap anyway but get a syringe at the same time and that would make the flushing process pretty easy.
Is it an acrylic nail polish?
"Instament" panel?
If it is me miss pronouncing it ah well, nobody’s perfect
Regarding paints, and add-on parts….
Since you do not provide a list of those products, could you please put them on-screen, one by one, clearly showing the MANUFACTURER name and number…
This way , we can at least have a chance at acquiring them.
Links to actual sales sites woul be tremendous.
Thank you.
Sorry but mega OCD compels me to mention that those marks you infill with super-glue are NOT "injector" marks they ARE 'ejection' marks. Please get names and descriptions right. Otherwise a good watch.
Fair enough, point taken👍👍👍
Hope you enjoyed the rest of the video
Anyway...
Yeah anyway, is that a comment or a go, but anyway 🤣🤣
He taks me, he tasks me... I'll chase him round the moons of Nivea and around the Antares Maelstrom and around Traditions Flames before I give him up... You dangle desire in front of us, that of nought can be found under £260.00 quid.... You heartless goyt. I'm half way through modelling a Space 1999 Eagle cockpit accurately in 1/35th (1/24th they put oversize figures in it), so guess what's next...? The Peoples Mosquito have the original plans, Salisbury Hall all the reference material I need plus a 57mm Molins Gun. And I have photo’s of the Highball Anti Ship buster Mossie, developed in secret by Wallis and flown by Winkle Brown. The Mosquito, the first twin engined plane to take off and land on a carrier.
This kit made them bankrupt due the price of the item so the story goes.
Well that cockpit looks amazing, and you obviously have great skill and craft but I had to stop watching the vid cus of all the oooer stuff. I didn't click for comedy or innuendo, I'll go watch a carry-on film for that. I'm sorry but it's really put me off watching the rest of your stuff which, no doubt, has a wealth of useful and innovative stuff otherwise. All the best.
Seems like you have no sense of humour and someone who I would not want to chat to at the dining table. If you do not like it jog on, didn’t need to put a comment in to make me feel so great about myself, being sarcastic. Just hate keyboard warriors
No that is fair and I understand that you think the modelling is ok and you think I might be a good guy, which I think I am. But there are a lot of channels that do modelling and quite a few, for one reason or another I do not like them, monotone voice, poor editing (including sound), or I do not like the person doing the video. I understand commenting on the editing or if the modelling is wrong, but I do not understand because of humour, maybe the language is a bit excessive and need to tone that well down, but I like taking the piss out of myself, I find it funny.
We all need humour and for a 40mins video, i think monotone talk about modelling is just not going to get the point across, while having a 40mins video showing the whole build is not going to show anything, other than look at me I am amazing.
Like I said before I am all for free speech, but the humour is going to stay.
I have never commented on anyone else’s modelling channel vids and said the humour is not what I’ve come here for, i’ll go watch a carry on, all I have done is simply gone, do not recommend channel. That way I have voiced my own dislike by not even being there.
So I think you understand I am not doing this to be the top 1% on youtube and for me to go around and say look at how many subs I have, just doing for the love of the hobby and I love modelling.
Wow, like an essay that, suffice to say, don’t like, click on the do not recommend channel.
Cheers
@robo40 No apologies necessary, you did what you thought was right at the time while watching with your son. Lets leave it at that.
If you vet the videos beforehand that’ll be great and please tell him to be not deterred from modelling and hope he goes on to great things within the hobby.
Cheers, Rob
