For future boats you might consider Tamiya Hull Red for the bottom. The reason ship bottoms are that color is the use of thick, paint on, anti-fouling pants. Hull Red is a bit less bright.
Side note: if you ever need a rust surface, basecoat in Hull Red, then do a very light spray overcoat with metallic brown. It will give you a scintilation effect that is reminiscent of rusted iron.
Outstanding job! I built this model before under the Monogram label years ago. It was a very basic, no-thrills kit. This was, and still is, the only model available of the Swift boat. I knew of a former co-worker who was an upper gunner on the Swift during the Vietnam War. He told many trilling stories during his service in the Navy. Cheers and salute to the Riverine Brown Water Navy! 🇺🇸👍👏
I knew a Canadian volunteer in the US forces (!) who ended up serving in a Brown Water Navy boat like this. One day, he told me, they came alongside a junk for a routine check just after he'd gone below to make himself a sandwich in the galley. The crew up top suddenly found themselves in a fight when the junk's VietCong crew opened fire, with some attempting to board the Swift boat. A woman with an old army .45 suddenly dropped to the bottom of the ladder and levelled it at him. And he wouldn't have been around to tell the story had a crewmate not followed and shot her dead a second behind.
Nasty business.
A very beautiful demonstration of know-how.
Thank you and congratulations.
Marc
Both the life raft and rings were International Orange, later OD when we operated in the delta. There are 2 boats on static display, in at the Navy Museum in DC and the other on the Navy Amphibious Base in Coronado. The last operating PCF (a MKII) is at the maritime Museum in San Diego, CA. Runs every weekend.
Great time lapse! This is the first video that I watched on this channel and this is the kind of video I need to start the assembly of my Tamiya 1/350 battleships. I was hesitant to do it because I do not know when to put on paint but your time-lapse gave me a lot of insights. I hope you build (with a time lapse of course) of 1/350 scale battleships!
Beautiful. Great work!
Here's a gut check, I built this exact model 50 years ago. 50 holy crap on a stick. Mine was motorized and I turned it into a single screw. Lastly it died in a wonderful Viking funeral... you know how children and firecrackers are. I think I made my dad shit his pants with the explosion.
A great looking little model taken to the next level with your additions.
Many thanks!! 😁
Sickness! Great looking work man!
that is absolutely amazing !!! really turned out stunning and nice tutorial also
Very nice Model , i like that Idea of using Value Gear and Tires, beautiful!
Thank you! You are a skilled Artist/Craftsman and I do like watching your builds :-)
Excellent job ,nice finish and great use of the weathering,I liked cause is not overdone

The real boat was a great boat. Oilfield crewboats built in south louisiana modified for navy use. Built by Sewart Seacraft aka Swiftships in Berwick Louisiana
Great work!!
I saw your still photos over on SMCG. Very nice to see your process here on your channel. Wonderful work.
Beautiful model
Hermoso trabajo felicitaciones
Great looking model kit! :)
Very nice work!
Really nice
Отличная работа!
Great build, and interesting to watch your processes
Thank you. Subscribed to your channel. Soon I'll be on some ground vehicles :)
Scale Hangar 182 I’ll lookout for those, I love tanks but have started to build different models of interest Subs; Ships and cars, and forgot to say aircraft lol,
One of the best, most informative, videos I've seen in a long time. I don't even build boats, but I can watch and learn from this. Thanks, great job!
Most appropriate your comment, thank you very much. As you could see on my channel I'm not into boats as well it's actually my first one. Regards
It's hard to believe this is your first boat model! I always hate to hear modelers say "Oh, I don't model (whatever it is) so I don't waste time on those videos". You prove my point that we can ALL learn SOMETHING, even if it's not our favorite subject. The weathering you did on this boat is outstanding, and you perfected those skills making airplanes, right? I'll bet you could model a garbage can lid and make it look great! Thanks again for the education.
I didn't master anything :)
I politely beg to differ, young man!!!
Thank you!
So cool!
Very cool 😎
The painting and weathering sequences were astonishing; I lost count of the steps! The results are excellent.
That said, I wonder if I wouldn't have ground away the life rings and put 3D ones (Billings, perhaps) in their place, and perhaps done the same with the overly flat and thin rope coils and perhaps the anchor. Not trying to be a pick, but when you're going so much careful work with the paint.
Nice job man! Subscribed!
Nice build
Genial trabajo!!!!!!!!!!
great job in the model, I just give a suggestion, port side propeller should be left handed ( and starboard prop is corret, as right handed ), this is shown in official plans of these boats, the props turn outside. Excellent job in painting, good weathering.
Awesome job kutgw
Nice job !! I suscribe, greetings from Mendoza - Argentina.
In case anyone cares, the stern mounted gun is a Mk 2 Mod 1, which sports a Browning .50 caliber M2 machine gun, over a specialized 81mm mortar. The mortar is a direct fire/indirect fire weapon made specifically for the Navy and Coast Guard. It can be fired at high angles like a typical mortar, at seen and unseen targets, by dropping projectiles down the muzzle. It can also be trigger fired while pointing directly at a line-of-sight target, like any tripod mounted weapon. The rate of fire is slower in direct fire mode, than indirect fire mode for obvious reasons.
Typical rounds for the mortar were HE, WP (smoke), ILLUM, Leaflet, Chaff, and APERS. The APERS round, Mk 120, held 1,200 flechettes, and was the primary direct fire projectile.
Typical ammunition used in the .50 Browning was armor piercing incendiary (API), incendiary (INC), and armor piercing incendiary tracer (API-T). It was linked two API, two INC, and one API-T.
Great build, Scale Hangar 182!
throngcleaver nice trivia man, thank you :)
You're very welcome Scale Hangar 182. I collect inert ammo for all sorts of ordnance, and recently bought a Mk 120 APERS for my collection. I looked for the weapon that fired it, and learned something new, so I had to mention it when I saw that mount on your Swift Boat. :D
cool hobby, are you building models?
No, I used to, but never got good at the painting and weathering, so they never looked good enough for me. One of my other hobbies is machining, and I've built some scale models of various items, including a surveyor's instrument called a wye level. There's always something to keep me busy, and I have way too many interests to concentrate on any one of them for long. lol
sounds very familiar, i have a lot interests too, but i could give up my job if i get enough money from models to make them 50+ hours a week :) i had to give up martial arts to do that youtube and more models, full time job is ass
nice video !!
very nice
I’m ready to jump on board.
Would LOVE this kit in 1/35!
muito bom , excelente;
I bought this kid back in the 90s and it came with a Rambo figure and it wasn't a bad kit for $10.00 I think back at that time it was called Rambo's Vietnam Nam gun boat
You got C-Rats on there ? And i wouldn't know what millit whatever you said you forgot to record, nice job 👏
lol i got the same boat. bu the instruction manual was incomplete so i coudnt finish it. now i jsut have to watch this video in able to finish it properly.
Museum quality!
Nice 👍🏻
Pretty cool if done the ww2 patrol boat in 48th
Nice build! I have one in my stash, but I don't see much on UA-cam with them. My dad was a swifty. Looking forward to diving into that kit. Not criticisms, just FYIs, those life rafts were orange, and they usually painting them black or deck gray. Pretty sure they painted the life savers as well. Stood out too much. Thanks for the great build.
Marc Arndt thank you. I found several photos, some were orange some grey, some photos not very clear I decided to just go with it as it is on manual
It looks great. Best one I've seen online. Tires are a great detail.
Marc Arndt thank you again :)
This is an awesome build....saying that, my one teensy criticism might be the gluing of the tires to the hull....viewing from the side doesn't really matter but it looks unnatural from head on or from the rear. I understand why you did it though!

WoW
Amazing video! Do you think you could do a video about techniques on how to airbrush? I just got an airbrush, and I’m not that great with it yet, so I would appreciate it if you showed me! Thanks!
There are thousands of airbrush tutorial videos on UA-cam. None of them will help you. You just need to practice. One of the things that will help you though is understanding color and shading and how the base layers effect your top layers. Remember, when airbrushing, it is okay to do many light coats. You don't need to cover everything at once.
This kit at 1983 buy monogram version
Life rings orange not white. and ammo boxes would be metal OD.
What do you do with them all after you have built them. I mean there's only so much room you can have in your home. Serious question.🤔 🙄😎
I would rather let those tires swaying.. But still great build bro..
I got my first model that I built and it was from 1994 I believe the USS enterprise is the model I got and I thought I was just supposed to use hot glue and crazy glue lol, come to my surprise it sinned immediately
I’m 12 so yikes
Très beau travail mon ami et très beau modèle
J adore ta vidéo c est un plaisir pour les yeux 😎👍
Je suis abonné de FRANCE 👍
Very good work my friend and very nice model
I enjoy watching your video this is a pleasure for the eyes 😎👍
I am subscribed of France
And I would be proud to have you as subscriber too 👍
Thank you very much!
I LIKE !!! One question; do you do a pre-assembly deep clean of the parts with distilled water and mild detetgent in an ultrasonic bath before assembly ? Might help remove the manufacturing plastic mold release agents for a cleaner paint job. How do you do bullet holes, flak damage, corrosion, bilge and engine discharges, paint peeling and other heavy-use marks when upping the realism of your models ? Thanks Again for a great build.
Hey mate, I suggest to watch my videos to see as I use variety of techniques. Have a look on my channel there is a Time lapse builds playlist.
I never cleaned plastic before, unless you ate greasy chips with you fingers. sprues are in bags and in a box I don't see a point in cleaning them in soapy water or whatever people do. I have build around 30 model kits now and never had any dirty, greasy plastic and never had problems spraying it.
You can feel if a model is dirty or not. I don't typically clean my models either, unless I feel they need it. If your going to be using a lot of high shine paints, like a candy, then yes you should clean your model. If you're going to be making a drab, flat colored model like a military one then no you don't need to clean them. These are injection molded parts, they don't use a release agent.
@@mikel9567 Yes,yes they do. Release agents are extensively used in injection molding! You ever see what looks like a kinda moldy green line or area around the base of an intricate piece? That's mold release. I worked at a plastic factory a couple times and we used the hell out of it.
can yoy only get this affect by using a spray gun ?
E-Rock Music for the good guys! Revel Models Red Cross Hospital.
👌👍👍
Music credits?
Sorry if this is not the place to ask these kinds of questions, but how do you paint really *really* thin lines. I'm working on a 1958 Edsel Pacer and I need to paint the EDSEL on the grille, any help ,I'll take
Airbrush !
Thank you!
@@sliceofyummysweetpie2381 if you don't have an airbrush try dry brushing. Use an acrylic paint and the excess comes off real easy.
😍😍👍✌️
Kann man mehr draus machen! Aber ganz ok.
Never get out of the boat
Hello! What is the name of the track from 0.00 to 3:40 min? )))
I don't know now. I uploaded it few months ago.
I want one with south vietnamese flag.
Great job but a lot of work. Dedicated.
good vid except for the music.
A bit sad... You took the effort to install some extra boxes and bag packs... Would had been nice to see some sailors on the boat as well.. ..Also, there is always rust on boats....don't see the weathering and rust on it.. ..
Glad I dont live in the country that thinks that tire black is normal!
What?
The Mr Color 137 tire black, I was just commenting that if that is what they classify as the color of tires it would scare me to drive on the roads where those tires are on vehicles.
Ohhh gitu doang, masih kalah sama otok2 ship, bisa muter2 diember gapake batre
this video is, John Kerry approved.
Fuck John Kerry!!
Yep! That'd make me throw it out!
