This is probably the most complete beginner's tutorial there is, period. This is what I would show someone who wants to take up on scale modeling. Congratulations, great job!
This is awesome. I love how you use the tools and materials available from the beginner kit to make a great model. Helps in terms of getting someone to try the hobby out. Some modeling videos can be over the top and intimidating.
Yeah, most other "basic beginner tutorial" when it comes to painting: "Now take your primer (spray can)...", "Choose something that's not aggressive to plastic", "Wet sand it...", "Apply clear coat...". I mean c'mon. I have basic model, 0 skills, and I'm not gonna buy an arsenal of spray cans (and protective gear) just to see if I'm even really into it.
I was so tempted to jump on getting an airbrush, and I'm just on my first scale model, and I was always told that the brush painting doesn't make the car look good but the way you painted it came out really smooth! I might as well start with that first and just get an airbrush in the future. Thanks!
Once you're ready for an airbrush, l recommend any of the following brands: lwata, Paasche, Grex or Harder & Steinbeck. Don't think you'll go wrong with any of these brands. Hope this helps.
I might actually get one of those for myself. I always thought that there weren’t many parts and it would be quit boring to build but watching this has changed my mind about it
Damn, you provide so many more details than any other modeling channel does. I wouldn't have never thought of the glue trick for example. Keep up the great work and thank you for the videos. You're the man!
I only recently got back into modelling after about a year or so of being away from it. Watching this defiantly helped bring me back up to date and remember my process when doing a realistic kit, I think the only thing I'd do differently would be to lay down a spray primer on to the model before painting.
I love the hand-painting skills you have, I know everything you said and have tried many times in the past 30 years yet even knowing that it still looks like I've thrown paint at a kit.
I always built models with only paintbrushes...and it was fun and satisfying. I later tried airbrushing and it was just too much for me somehow...and definitely kind of expensive too. I love what I just watched....this is the first video anyone should watch if they;re going to build a car model. You used acrylic paint, no primer...and no sanding? I am blown away! Also, no clear coat?
With using that type of glue, you can also snip a piece off the sprue and using clippers, make a point. You can also use parts of the sprue to mix the paint also.
Quick Kits you are making, like, the highest quality scale modelling videos on yt, big Thanks for your effort, sub and views is all I can offer (I’m too poor for patreon, sorry ^^;) Looking forward to your next video!
Thanks for all these tips. I haven't attempted to make models since my teens and I'm now in my late 40's and on the verge of buying my first model car after mulling over what to buy for the last few weeks. The reason why I hestitated was because I felt I would have been in the dark, so this has given me some confidence as an initial springboard. Thank you!
Love your videos, I started my first Airfix BF-109 after discovering your channel! I now also have a Hurricane and a Zero under my belt, with a P-40 on the way! I wanted to echo others in agreeing how useful it was to see the paint coverage changing with every coat - I found that how awful it looks after one or even a few coats was really hard to accept as a beginner! Love your work, can't wait to see what you make next!
Great to hear you're enjoying the hobby and building up a good collection of models, I'm very pleased to have been of inspiration :) and I'm also pleased that you appreciated me showing each coat no matter how bad they looked haha!
Im someone coming from Gundam kits from bandai, this was a GREAT tutorial on model kit cars! Was more intimidating about the painting but this tutorial helped alot
Hey Owen. Great result using basic tools... just shows what can be achieved without spending a fortune on every possible gadget and paint types with washes for weathering etc. need to get cracking on some of my models but haven’t had the chance recently owing to having a 7 month old baby to keep entertained in our house now haha! Glad to see your videos on my feed again. I have a half started diorama and a few repairs to do to models after my wife went a little crazy with the duster! Wish me luck! All the best. Marc
Awesome video and a great finished product!! I myself use an airbrush for the paint work, but I totally love how you used what came in the box to finish your model. I think I want to try this one myself using your techniques!
Thank you very much! And I hope you enjoy the challenge of building a kit with just what's in the box (+ a few extras) if you do try it. I find it is really fun!
This is a great tutorial, I don’t build air fix cars, but this is amazing. If you wanna get some better more vibrant colours e.g blue or red then try some spray cans
To replace the glue tube, tamiya extra thin is probably the best thing to use!! Also, if you're not good with a brush, tamiya spray paints is really nice and easy to use
Thanks Owen, great video with a build out of the box. If I may have some remarks : -1 Most rallycars, and this Fiesta WRC have white wheels not silver (maybe that's a mistake in the instructions?) -2 I would paint the wheelnuts a darker color (use a toothpick or so). Looks so much better. -3 The 'Michelin'-decals on the tires look way too big, that's not your fault. -4 The interior is correct in white but the doorpanels should be black. Still great video, keep up the good work.
Hi Owen Great Video! For What its worth I have Been a Builder. 👷 for lets jus say for A while,,,,,,,, I really appreciate you taking the time to make this educational And informative video.TBH Whilst im just going along building my own wips without giving even an inkling or a thought about extending an olive Branch.or a gesture such as posting some tips for Begginers you give us Modelers this great for Beginners video. Thank you again Shaun
Lovely job Owen, it seems you got a good result with the decal fix, although I would recommend a gloss clear coat before decals, just to make sure you're not going to get any silvering whatsoever. I think I want to make a car now!
I have spray brush and haven't used it yet just hate cleaning it for using another colour but seen you how you painted the car body by hand brush am going give it a try thanks
I did not expect a new quick kits video today... let alone a car! Try one of the amazing tamiya kits, with tamiya rattle cans and Mr Hobby Super Clear III, then polish with tamiya compounds. You'll get a proper car glossy finish. I use 2k but that's nasty stuff for painting at home, it works fine with my spray setup though
Hey Owen, I have a few questions. In your decal tutorial, you soak the decal in warm water, spread microset on the model, then put the decal on the model, and a coat or two of micro sol. Is Humbrol Decal-fix equivalent to microset, should I soak my decals in microset, and do you need to add microsol to Humbrol Decal-fixed decals? Thanks.
I would suggest using compressed air or a hair dryer in the cold/low setting to dry the washed parts, that way you won't get any water spots during drying.
Great I just finished a model Cromwell by Tamia at the expense of the tip of my thumb but great job . Your vid reminded my of an f1 car I recently dug out from somewere
As an early viewer of this channel I must say, Owen,When you show 1st coat and second...I think that you really help the beginners with that action,mostly because when I first made a model I didnt knew what a successful early coat was so I messed up a bit,As If I was a beginner rn,I would really loved to see how a first coat is and how much I should thin my paint. Btw I didnt expected you to make a car,although it looks like you was working on scale cars for years 😂👌🙂
I'm pleased you liked the idea of showing each coat because yeah, I think that a lot of beginners expect a perfect finish with only 1 coat but that's not gonna happen. I'm also pleased you liked the suprise ;)
ironicly, this is the exact same model i made when i was like 7. Its also the first model i made and it look horrible but this model is dope and it really helped
They're kind of both haha! Kits from Tamiya, Hasegawa and Bandai have amazing moulding usually and have no flashing or pin marks and that makes them a lot quicker to build. But sometimes its nice to have a bit of extra work/challenge to do
You re using paint brush but it does look perfect! How is that possible?? Just wanna tell yaa everyone that this young man really a true paint brush master...
Hey owen i would really enjoy it if you build the airfix 1/72 hurricane new tool. I will get it on christmas and it would be intresting to see how u would built this kit.
Oo exciting! What a good Christmas present! I've actually built the very old tool (1970s) Airfix Hurricane - the video will be coming out in January - so that might help you a bit? :)
Nice make a video of a hawker hurricane mk1. But were DO you Get the decal chelusion ?? That Wash for the insignias and Numbers dont no What IT Mins in norwegian
My next video out this Friday is a Hurricane :) you should be able to find decal solution online, I'm not sure what modelling websites you have in Norway but Amazon is a good place to start. Or go direct to the manufacturers site
Oh Yeah the build came out Really Nice. I would. Interested the hear your honest opinion of your. Build and opinion of the kit itself? Thts it tanks Bye
Thank you! I thought that the kit was just below average, lacking detail in some areas and some of the parts didn't fit very well. Also the decals were extremely difficult to put on, so I wouldn't recommend it to beginners
Hello Owen ! Thanks for this helpful video ! Beginners like me will find great resources in this one to start properly their first models ! 👍 I still have one or two questions in mind : did you always thin your paint. Or only when you have to paint big area, like the body of the car ? In this case, details are paint with non-thinned paint ? 🤔 And last question : in the video, you applied 5 coat of thinned paint. Do you always apply 5 coat ? Or does it depends on the results of each coat compares to the result that you want to obtain in the end ? Thanks again for your answer and excuse my English : I'm French and I lose a bit of my English knowledges by the lack of training ... 😊😉
Hi I'm very pleased that it's helped you :) I do always thin my paint, but on small detailed parts I might thin it only slightly. It also depends on the consistency of the paint out of the pot. For example Revell Aquacolor paints are very thick and always need thinning a lot. The number of coats I do depends on the strength of the pigment of the paint. Because white or yellow are weaker pigments they need a lot of coats to get a consistent colour. On average I paint about 3 coats. I hope that makes sense and helps you? :)
@@quickkits Thanks for your answer. I use Tamiya or Gunze for painting. I don't have any problems to paint details. The problem is for big area. I think that I apply too thick layers and I was looking for Tamiya Spray paint to try ... But your tips of thinning the paint is interesting and I want to try it ! 😀
This is probably the most complete beginner's tutorial there is, period. This is what I would show someone who wants to take up on scale modeling. Congratulations, great job!
Thank you very much sir that means a lot!! I'm pleased you thought it was comprehensive
@@quickkits to this day, this comment holds true. I'm building my first model car and with confidence thanks to you!
This is awesome. I love how you use the tools and materials available from the beginner kit to make a great model. Helps in terms of getting someone to try the hobby out. Some modeling videos can be over the top and intimidating.
I'm pleased that you appreciate the minimalist tools and materials approach :) I really hope I can inspire new people to try the hobby out
Yes indeed. Super simple and attainable. Bcoz of ur vid im trying out this hobby 😊
Yeah, most other "basic beginner tutorial" when it comes to painting:
"Now take your primer (spray can)...", "Choose something that's not aggressive to plastic", "Wet sand it...", "Apply clear coat...".
I mean c'mon. I have basic model, 0 skills, and I'm not gonna buy an arsenal of spray cans (and protective gear) just to see if I'm even really into it.
Thanks god I found your channel! It is perfect for beginner who cant use airbrush gun like me. Thank you sir!!!
You just prove (with flying colors...) that paintbrushing is a good option for those of us that can't use a airbrush that much...Thank You
Thank you very much! I do believe that, with practice and the right brushes, you can get a really smooth finish with a brush
I was so tempted to jump on getting an airbrush, and I'm just on my first scale model, and I was always told that the brush painting doesn't make the car look good but the way you painted it came out really smooth! I might as well start with that first and just get an airbrush in the future. Thanks!
Once you're ready for an airbrush, l recommend any of the following brands: lwata, Paasche, Grex or Harder & Steinbeck. Don't think you'll go wrong with any of these brands. Hope this helps.
Easily one of the best scale model youtubers out there, I can’t wait until you upload again!
Aw thanks! New video out today 😁
Great! 👍 Can’t wait to watch it!
You're always useful and great Owen!
This looks fantastic! Good job Owen - I think I should get some cars too :P
Thank you very much! I'd look forward to seeing your car build videos :)
@@quickkits Awesome! Now i need to get some :D
Hi matt
I might actually get one of those for myself. I always thought that there weren’t many parts and it would be quit boring to build but watching this has changed my mind about it
Aw nice! Yeah they're definitely more complex than you think, and I reckon if you get a good Tamiya one with an engine that could be great fun
I never did anything airfix when i was a kid, now watching this at 35 and lockdown its inspired me to give it a go :)
Fantastic demonstration of what you can do with simple tools. Also great to see such different model types on the channel
Thank you very much I'm pleased you enjoyed the change :)
Damn, you provide so many more details than any other modeling channel does. I wouldn't have never thought of the glue trick for example. Keep up the great work and thank you for the videos. You're the man!
Aw thank you very much! I'm pleased you've learnt something :)
Great job, Owen. It's encouraging to see the brilliant finish that can be achieved using the materials provided by Airfix in their starter kits.
Nice. Very basic but essential modelling skill!
Thank you!
I only recently got back into modelling after about a year or so of being away from it. Watching this defiantly helped bring me back up to date and remember my process when doing a realistic kit, I think the only thing I'd do differently would be to lay down a spray primer on to the model before painting.
This is a brilliant video. I have only built revell airliners so far. Will definitely try a car now! Thank you.
I'm always glad to see helpful videos on how to brush paint. This is very encouraging. Thanks!
I love the hand-painting skills you have, I know everything you said and have tried many times in the past 30 years yet even knowing that it still looks like I've thrown paint at a kit.

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me dude ☺️
Brilliant stuff! Great results with minimal tools. Can’t wait for your next build.
With using that type of glue, you can also snip a piece off the sprue and using clippers, make a point. You can also use parts of the sprue to mix the paint also.
Good tips, thanks :)
I've sometimes used toothpicks and matchsticks.
I use a cocktail stick.
always nice to see a new build video from qk!

What an excellent tutorial! Gives me hope I might get a half decent car as a beginner. Thanks Owen.
You're very welcome, I hope it goes well :)
I feel that all your works are clean and beautiful.
Aw thank you very much!
very useful video. iv just purchased my first starter kit and these tips will be used with gratitude.
Wow, these new vids are different from ur old ones but I really like them! Great vid and great tutorial, it’s very good for beginners!
I'm pleased that you like the new style, I think I'm going to keep it to some extent. Thank you!
Happy to see another video, Owen. And awesome build!
Thank you very much I'm pleased you enjoyed it!
This is a great video as it truly encourages the beginner. Your clear instructions make it so easy to follow. Well done and happy modelling.
That's the best way to start with minimal investment; very good tips for the beginner. 5*

I'm very pleased to hear that :)
A toothpick is also good for applying glue i like how you get a good finish with brush paints.
A good tip! Thank you
I'm using toothpick to paint very very small parts or details.
I recently bought a 1/24 Subaru Impreza! I shall use these techniques on it
Looks like a fun kit and another great build! I didn't know Airfix made model car kits. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! And yes it was a fun kit though the decals were a bit of a nightmare haha!
Haven't used any air fix products for a long time. But when I do. I definitely will reference this video!
Excellent tutorial thumbs up from me. Great for beginners and expert model builders. I love the simplicity approach, well done.
Im someone coming from Gundam kits from bandai, this was a GREAT tutorial on model kit cars! Was more intimidating about the painting but this tutorial helped alot

This is really cool and helpful
Thank you I'm pleased that you've found it helpful :)
Looks amazing 👏 just curious but is it not necessary to prime the model 1st? Sorry still learning. Thanks
Neat kit & I love rally cars but the wheel/ tire combo & mounting points zero out it's appeal. Many thanx for the vid, be safe 🦊

Thank you Owen. Did you apply a Primer before painting?
Awesome! No other words!! And very helpful (OK, these words!!! 😁)
Hahaha! Thank you I'm pleased you enjoyed it!
Are you doing any more videos this year in 2020
i have a question, can i use a paint brush to apply the glue?
Great tips, thank you 👍
wish I had seen this before I started painting my model
Great, interesting video bud.
Would you say that all the excess plastic mould marks/flashings are a pain, or just part of the model making process?
They're kind of both haha! Kits from Tamiya, Hasegawa and Bandai have amazing moulding usually and have no flashing or pin marks and that makes them a lot quicker to build. But sometimes its nice to have a bit of extra work/challenge to do
Awesome sides. Which brand models would you recommend for beginners?
You re using paint brush but it does look perfect! How is that possible?? Just wanna tell yaa everyone that this young man really a true paint brush master...
Haha thank you! Hopefully everyone will be as good, if not better, than me some day soon
Better result with brush painting than me with spray cans :O
Thank you! Subbed.
Owen can you do a video on how you made your B17G diorama because i want to do the same thing with the new airfix wellington
I'll bear it in mind, I can't promise it any time soon though as I don't have a large bomber at the moment

Hey owen could you please tell me when exactly the video will be released in January? Because I cant wait to built this kit :)
What kind of soap do you use to clean the plastic at the start
What I like about 1/32 cars is they are close enough to 1/35 to combine elements from both.
Nice make a video of a hawker hurricane mk1. But were DO you Get the decal chelusion ?? That Wash for the insignias and Numbers dont no What IT Mins in norwegian

Thank you! I thought that the kit was just below average, lacking detail in some areas and some of the parts didn't fit very well. Also the decals were extremely difficult to put on, so I wouldn't recommend it to beginners
Hello Owen !
Thanks for this helpful video ! Beginners like me will find great resources in this one to start properly their first models ! 👍
I still have one or two questions in mind : did you always thin your paint. Or only when you have to paint big area, like the body of the car ? In this case, details are paint with non-thinned paint ? 🤔
And last question : in the video, you applied 5 coat of thinned paint. Do you always apply 5 coat ? Or does it depends on the results of each coat compares to the result that you want to obtain in the end ?
Thanks again for your answer and excuse my English : I'm French and I lose a bit of my English knowledges by the lack of training ... 😊😉
Hi I'm very pleased that it's helped you :)
I do always thin my paint, but on small detailed parts I might thin it only slightly. It also depends on the consistency of the paint out of the pot. For example Revell Aquacolor paints are very thick and always need thinning a lot.
The number of coats I do depends on the strength of the pigment of the paint. Because white or yellow are weaker pigments they need a lot of coats to get a consistent colour. On average I paint about 3 coats.
I hope that makes sense and helps you? :)
@@quickkits Thanks for your answer.
I use Tamiya or Gunze for painting. I don't have any problems to paint details.
The problem is for big area. I think that I apply too thick layers and I was looking for Tamiya Spray paint to try ... But your tips of thinning the paint is interesting and I want to try it ! 😀
could you build one of the airfix diorama gift sets?
What brush model, type and brand color do you use?
Very nice how long it took you overall?
