Not my favourite plane but my favourite YT chanel, so I'm in whatever you build😂. Always love to see your skilled work and how you present it, thanks for that👍
I did just finish the AMK F-14D. There are a few fit issues. Some are inherit with the kit and I managed to introduce a few myself. So yeah I'd say it is a difficult kit, honestly some of that it is the instructions, go slow careful and steady and all should be fine. I've only been back in the hobby for the last year and a half, so take that into account. When it builds out it builds out very nicely though. Thanks for the pointers on closing up the gear bays. I want to do more in flight models but find that a lot of time the kits I've been working with the gear bay doors just don't like to fit as they should heh. I've really enjoyed watching your builds, you've got some serious talent and a very nice eye for design. Thanks for sharing the content.
I’m finishing up the meng E/A-18G, and it’s pretty good. There’s some small fit issues, nothing major. I know you don’t usually mark up the cockpit but it’s pretty well detailed. I have shelved the AMK kit tow or three times because of issues. It has so much potential but I just get so frustrating. I think I’ll probably finish it after I finish the Growler, but enjoy them. Hopefully you can decipher the AMK instructions
I saw that I have the decals for that one but I decided to go with a different one. I had already painted the pilots helmet white before I saw the decal sheet came with markings for his dark colored helmet:(
Excellent! I can’t wait to see the multi color camo scheme, although I would have loved to see you pull off the Blue Angel one! 😎😂 Either way, it’s gonna be super nice I’m sure!
Something you have to realize, and most people don't; interiors are not to scale. Planes, cars, usually doesn't matter, the outer shell is to scale and everything ELSE is then made to fit. The thickness of the plastic is way thicker than an actual floor or wall. Then all too often the interior is its own unit, so we just doubled the already wrong floor thickness at the very least. Usually seats and consoles are oversized, too. So you're sticking a "1/48" scale figure into what is basically a 1/50 or or even 1/55 scale interior space. You'll always be chopping up the figures...
Як завжди цікаві літаки і цікаве відео. Новий келих :) напевно ціла колекція. Замислився про те щоб додати до свого A6A 1/48 від Hobby Boss. F14 це літак який в мене буде обов'язково.
1/48 Meng F/A-18 into Maverick’s aircraft?!?!?!? Maybe? Hopefully? That would be awesome! Good to know that this Revell kit is a Hasegawa re-box. I have the hobby boss kit and wanted a Hasegawa kit but all I can find is the M version and I wanted either the E or F. Can’t wait to see part two!!
The Skyhawk was always one of my favorites. The Blues were flying them the first time I saw them perform at NAS Millington, TN in 1978.
The first model I built after getting back into it was the 1/48 classic Monogram A-4! Just about 3 yrs ago! The Blues are my favorite!
Happy Father's Day ! Hope you have a great day ! Thank you for sharing , take care, Tony
Thanks Tony and not sure if you’re a father but if you are happy Father’s Day to you too my friend
MENG's F/A-18E/F are great.
The most decent and shape/size accurate kits of SuperBug ever!

I did mine in flight as well in Brazilian markings. You did a much better job than I did with the gear bay doors!
Sean just saw your video on A-4F that paint scheme was the one on Jesters A-4 from Top Gun.
I saw that I have the decals for that one but I decided to go with a different one. I had already painted the pilots helmet white before I saw the decal sheet came with markings for his dark colored helmet:(
Just a little info,the wing slats are not hydraulic they are gravity so always down on the ground.air pressure pushes them up.

Desde Santo Domingo República Dominicana,salud....
That Meng 1/48 f18e builds up really nicely . I’m currently building that my self … as maverick plane . Love your videos
Can you do a tutorial for how you close up landing gear doors on the Tamiya 1:48 F-14A?
Sorry but I don’t have another Tamiya kit nor plans to build one in the near future.

Top work, once again

Meng kit includes decals for Maverick’s new ride. They are very careful to not use the words “Top Gun”.
Fleet bird!
