I very much appreciate that you talk and explain what you're doing and why!So many model building videos are either speed build or are closed captions.I don't waste my time with them.Thank you!!!P.S. A very gorgeous build with lots of fantastic details to feast the eyes with!
I really appreciate the kind comments, like you, I like to hear what a modeler is doing and why he is doing it, thats why I've started doing mine like this.
I massively respect your level of model making! And also your research done into this aircraft shouldn't go unappreciated either! Bravo, absolute Mastery!
Hey Brett, Can't think of many better ways to kill an hour or so than watching a Hammerhead modelling video. Your take on this kit is phenomenal, 👍👍👍 I have to agree the SEA camo scheme is pretty awesome.Well done mate.
@@HammerheadModelMaking Now I am watching more of your videos as we message! I haven't looked through your catalogue of videos yet, but have you done a video on what kind of tools, equipment, and sundries you use? Also, as for looking at very tiny parts, do you wear any kind of vision enhancement equipment (other than prescription glasses)?
@@mikecolson2257 I don't have a video like that yet, I do plan on doing one at some point though, as for vision enhancement, I do have a set of magnifying glasses that I use occasionally for small painting, but I'm quite fortunate to still have great eyesight and do most of modeling with any vision aids.
This a fantastic build, 1st class finish considering the clean up work to make it come together. I have this kit in the stash and has given me some valuable tips to build it, Great job 👍
Thanks for the video of the excellent build of your B-26K! Your commitment to research & detail really shows! Zinc chromate is a specialized primer paint that is designed to "bite" into the underlying aluminum, and thus not just adhere, but strongly bond. Thus, zinc chromated aluminum will almost never "chip". That's why you will see, on the contemporary photos of Navy planes having much wear of the surface paint, the underlying zinc chromated primer still showing, instead of also being "flaked" off. This is NOT to say the zinc chromate finish cannot be eroded, as from heavy footwear or sand/coral dust, but that represents a pressure/contact erosion, rather than flaking/chipping from repeated temperature flex/stress cycles. You won't see zinc chromated interiors, even when fuel or oil stained, that are chipped or flaked. IF the finish has been worn to bare metal, it is from heavy & repeated contact erosion. This chemical bonding with the aluminum surface distinguishes zinc chromate from the vast majority of paints.
Great work! Really like the scratch building additions like that fuel bladder in the bomb bay. I’ve got this in my stash and will hopefully get to it next year (2024). Some good ideas for me here 😊
Beautiful build,but then again all your builds are above board,I truly appreciate and enjoy watching your videos, I had to gave up building about 2 years ago due to Parkinson, it sucks,but as long as you keep posting your builds,I'll be rite there at the work bench. Thank You again for your videos,it keeps me in the loop..
Thank you for the sub! Yeah, this was my first ICM kit and I wasn't disappointed, I also have a few of the figure sets in my stash, they are equally nice!
Yer there great kits, good basing detail to build closed up. Or if super detailing like in this vid, a nice base to start from. They tend to do all sub versions of a subject. Also this was one of there kits, that was still being developed and worked on when they where invaded. Apart for a few months, whilst they where evacuating staff and tooling. Repairing there unit in Kiev, then got back to work and where shipping and still releasing products, as Russian forces where still being cleared from pockets near Kiev. And (in the EU/UK) there still not that expensive.
Your finish really inspired me to do some of your recommendations in my future builds. Was an absolute pleasure to watch you build such a beautiful model.
Absolutely awesome and inspirational work my friend. I very much like your simple and methodical approach to adding detail. You are also spot on about 3D printing, something which I am setting up for as a big part of advancing the hobby for me. This kit is now in my shopping cart!
Fantastic presentation. Really enjoyed the commentary -- that made it extremely useful. Congratulations on a beautiful model. I have one on my shelf. It will have to wait there until my skill levels improve. Thanks for your efforts.
Excellent job. You do a great job of explaining what you are doing and how you go a bout getting the desired effect. Thanks for sharing your excellent A-26.
I SAY EXCELSIOR GOOD SIR. Awesome building skills on display. Learning Tons due to both the techniques and image quality being excellent!! Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Among the many that I watched, this is the most creative and well narrated of them all. Congratulations for this amazing work of art and thanks for sharing.
Great build and a brilliant video. Well described and easy to take tips from. So many just play music or nothing at all(they are still good) and it's so refreshing to hear the modeller and the thoughts you had when doing it. Keep up the brilliant wok.
Fantastic work and an awesome model. I appreciate your selection of subjects to model. And of course the extra added details... You set a high bar. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Good thing you mentioned the wings and the upgrades. I saw a documentary on the A26, and some of them were used so much, the wings were coming off! Attention to details like that make things more interesting.
I think early in the B-26K program, they lost a test crew due to wing fatigue and that prompted the whole series of them basically getting all new wing spars and strengthening plates.
Great looking build. The whole diorama works very well together overall. I always liked the SEA camo scheme myself. Looks great on the F-4 Phantom loaded out !
Absolutamente espectacular!! 👏👏 Una vez más vemos la realidad de que los modelos rusos de sus aviones de combate son copia o inspiración de los modelos de combate occidentales. El Su 25, está inspirado en el A-26A. Hay que ser muy tonto para no darse cuenta. Una maqueta digna de Museo, felicitaciones a este virtuoso artesano del modelismo👏👍
Si lo fue un largo video pero disfruté cada minuto viendo su gran habilidad y su minuciosidad en los pequeños detalles, y el resultado final fue ¡¡Increíble!!, Gracias
I just tried Vallejo gloss black primer. 24 hours drying and yep, one spot peeled on my spitfire 1/72 when I peeled masks off. Following to see what primer you find. I also noticed M.R.S. Hobbies on your scratch build supplies. That is my hobby shop too. Good to see another modeler in Utah. Excellent work on your builds.
I've pretty much moved on to using Mr Surfacer 1500 or Tamiya Fine Surface primer. I will only use Vallejo primer when I need to primer something quickly or I know I wont be doing any masking. And yes, MRS is my go-to hobby shop, I only live less than a 5 minute drive so I'm there quite often!
My brother is a retired 79 year old attorney living on the beach in California. When he was in college in the 1960s, he had a wife and two children to support. One of the side jobs he had was working on the modifications of these A-26 Invaders at On-Mark in Van Nuys, California at the Van Nuys Airport. My other brother was in Marine at the time in Vietnam with an Marine F-8 crusader fighter squadron. 20 years later, I would be flying C-130s out of the same airport in Van Nuys. Countless times I drove down Woodley Ave, where On Mark was located and thought about when my brother and the A-26s were there.
Wow, bud. Another amazing build. I love the paint work and simple details you added to make this such a realistic build. Beautiful diorama set. You must do an SR-71 Blackbird next 😃😃😃
Love this! If you do end up doing a battleship some time, I’d like to see a Nelson Class. I feel they’re rather underrated and overheated as battleships, so I haven’t seen a good model video of one. I’d love to see one from you! My personal suggestion would be the Rodney in 1941 as she hunted down the Bismarck, since she still had her torpedo tubes in as well.
Thank you for watching! I really want to do a battleship, but it will most likely be a ways off. I think I would do the battleship New Jersey as I have something of a personal connection to that ship, but Nelson/Rodney would be interesting, they are certainly unique among battleships of the world!

@HammerheadModelMaking Thank you, I saw later in your video you mention that some of the download links were in the video text. I found it in there. Great build & very inspirational.
Great video, loved the safety tip about the resin dust, good health is a treasure beyond price. 1:04:04 A cordless hand trim router or even a Dremel router with a guide bushing would have made very short work of that overhang, and made for a very neat edge. Keep up the fine work. ;)
thx alot for the super inteesting build :-) i just startet the same kit but my is gonna be the RB-26K , they made 10 of them ,im gonna do the one in SEA camo , i love that glass nose , greetings from Denmark
What an awesome build. You've motivated me to get my 1/32 F-4 E by Revell. public opinion is that the kit is a dog. I'm going to do a lot of scratch building and see how she turns out.
