That's very true. You would have to use Humbrol acrylic 247, or seal the 247 colour with an acrylic varnish to make sure the thinner doesn't cause any damage (which I don't think I did, oops...)
actually the paint would "die" if you left it dry for about 4-6 hours (with enamel, and 1 hour for acrylic), once it dies, thinner can do no damage to it whatsoever
I just started with this hobby and i use hand brush and i was quite dissapointed of using brush but i think ill get better with the brush, you inspired me bro.
It takes some time and practice but with enough time and patience you can make it look airbrush. I had to move a lot for college and didn't drag all my equipment along so I relied on hand brushing for quite a bit and you can come up with some amazing results. Keep at it, you'll get there.
I will be getting this model kit. I don't have an air brush, but your video shows very good results can be gotten with a paint brush if used properly. Thanks for posting.
+Quick Kits i find humbrol metalcote aluminum works great for paint chiping. its also great as you can buff it to make it more reflective for bare metal aircraft. since i found it i have used it on every single model without fail
Had the same issues with the fuselage, the cowling, and the wing fit. Needed to get about it with a judicious application of putty! Pitty as it made a frustrating build for an otherwise nicely detailed kit. Also, best ever application of mottle camo with a brush I've seen!
great job, again! I may give you a tip to prolong life of your palette, I mean the think you have mixed you colurs in it, like the yellow. If you use aluminium foliage to cover it before use. You get the relief of it and after removing the foliage it will stay clean and ready for next painting. I hope you understand me.I am not very good in english.
That's an impressive finish for a brush painted kit, thumbs up on that, especially on the mottling, i'd struggle to achieve that with a brush. Looks like a nice little kit, I've fancied building an 190A for a while
def awesome to see such a talented modeler using only hand brushes. it def inspires me to hold off on buying an airbrush and just get better at hand brushing skills.
Just got this kit and I totally agree about the fit of the engine cowling being terrible. But, like you, I managed to sand it down to the point that it only required a slight amount of filler. I'm almost beginning painting now, and I look forward to seeing how it will turn out. Cheers!
just started this model except i've painted the nose, cowling and rudder yellow. Your mottling technique was also helpful when I did a Bf 109 G-6. Great model!
Hi Owen, hope you're well. you were complaining about needing lots of coats for the yellow. Try priming the area with white first, it does wonders! The yellow covers better and is much more distinct :)
Quick Kits I was experimenting with elmer's glue and i discovered something. If applied onto the surface of a model without watering it down, it creates a satin finish. I managed to give my Glossy f-35 a satin finish after doing this.
when I build a early/late era wwII model I view it in a game called Aces High II it gives you a better view of the inside and outside of the vehicle/plane. It is a free pc game you can find on the internet.
Hi I've been admiring your videos for some time, and I must say your brush painting skills are brilliant!. To achieve this kind of detail by brush takes MORE skill in my opinion. Keep up the good work, great to see younger members of the community building kits too! Nice one Owen!.
Thank you for sharing this. Your work is outstanding, and it's really helpful that you make such articulate comments in the voice over. Looking forward to more of your work - more power to you!
nice kit i built the Tamiya version 1/48 i used liquid rubber mask (vajello) drops for my mottling effects which I also used on my Dragon 1/48 JU88 Night fighter once again nice brush work skills
Nice to see brush work instead of just spray gun. Love the idea for the mottling. So many good ideas are simple but always seems to take some clever chap to think them up. ie:not me. I always enjoy your videos with a calm,concise narration. One of my favourite subscribed channels. Thank you for your efforts and advice. Modelling under camera adds an extra stress which doesnt show in your excellent videos. Thank you.Des from the U.K. Great work,please keep it up. :-) Respect
Hey up Owen, Thats a quality build mate, like it very much. I liked how you did the mottling with the brush, very clever. Im not sure but I think the propeller blades were made of wood, but its a cracking build
+Steven Dawson I've done some googling and you're right, the propellers were made of wood haha! One thing I'm not good on is the historical accuracy of my painting :') Thank you for pointing that out and I'm glad you like the model!
Great review. I just built one myself to. I built it because I remember seeing one that day at a air show I was at. (It did crash that day but the pilot is fine and it will be fixed).
Yeah it was at Omaka airshow Blenheim new Zealand. one of the brakes failed on landing and it looped around ripping of the landing gear. But the pilot was fine and it wont be that long before the planes back up in the air.
Great to see the results you can achieve with a brush. Excellent. Just one minor thing, can you give us the paint names as well as the Humbrol number please. Big thumbs up.
Yakpackin Flys hahaha I always think the cockpits look fine, is it because I dry brush them and put a dark wash on them? Anyway thank you!! :D (and yes you've suggested the dinosaur before ;) )
+Quick Kits ok i couldn't find the dinosaur comment but now i know that i have said it but with the interior it just looks like it could use 1 or 2 more coats to make it look even. Maybe maybe not
As always another good video, the effect of the paint is superb, thanks and waiting for your next build. :) It would be nice if you build a helicopter.
EdgarsModelling hahaha just make sure you thin the paint, I think that's the main thing to do. Just keep practising and you'll get there :) Anyway thank you!
I kinda wish I was good enough to do model work :/ I hope I can do modelling tanks/planes as a hobby in the future. I would personally paint my planes black with yellow details.
Awesome build Owen !!! Fantastic mottling technique, there is something new to learn in each of your posts. Is it possible to do mottling with acrylic paints with the method used for enamel paints ?
It's possible with acrylics but I didn't find it worked quite as well... however my experiment with them was quite rushed so I don't know they might work just as well haha
incredible job on the 190 ! and it still amazes me how nice your paint jobs look without the use of an airbrush. ever gotten any hate mail from an airbrush manufacturer or two ? hahaha :)
Would you be able to do a 1:72 heinkel in revell as I have been looking at this kit for a while and I don't know if I should get it and you seem to be a great modeller so I wouldn't mind watching you build one! :) -tom
you've got skills my man, i want to get back into making 1/72's again but i had no idea how i could possily replicate luftwaffe camoflauge without using an airbrush (i just prefer brush painting) ... genius, thanks! also what brush do you use?
Wouldn't the thinner remove the previous coats of paint?
That's very true. You would have to use Humbrol acrylic 247, or seal the 247 colour with an acrylic varnish to make sure the thinner doesn't cause any damage (which I don't think I did, oops...)
Oh ok
actually the paint would "die" if you left it dry for about 4-6 hours (with enamel, and 1 hour for acrylic), once it dies, thinner can do no damage to it whatsoever
@@rurushu8094 im the dark lord???
You are an inspiration to everyone who uses a hand brush :)
Haha aww thank you!! :)
Yes...yes he is

Miklo Owl my eurofighter typhoon plane model it look magnificent I had started and it looked like the real thing
This is the first time I see a plastic modelist uses handbrush instead of a spray gun. Awesome job!
Thank you, I appreciate it :)
you're a great bench mark for stick painters ! lovely techniques used too
+Damian Mullan Thank you! :)
As a newcomer in the modelling world, I learned something more about shadings and gun smoke effects
Your brush painting is outstanding! Very nice model.
Still loving these old videos! Keep watching them over and over, I'll be doing this kit in a couple of weeks 😊
Astonishing - jaw-dropping - what you can do with paint brushes. What talent!!!!
Beautiful job! Your all brush paint job made for a very realistic finish with a weathering that was perfectly restrained.
Thank you very much!!! :D
Amazing work! I can't believe it's hand painted.
greasyindiekid Thank you! Well the evidence is there so you're gonna have to believe it haha ;)
I will be getting this model kit. I don't have an air brush, but your video shows very good results can be gotten with a paint brush if used properly. Thanks for posting.
Will do. And thanks for getting back to me, Owen. Will be sure to use more PVA in future.
my favorit build of yours! loved it. thanks for this one, always a pleasure to watch your videos! never stop
AlexModeling Thanks I'm so glad you always enjoy them! I am really pleased with this kit, I don't know if I prefer it to my Panzer IV or not though
no air brush , no rattle cans , who said you need to have an air brush to get brilliant results. Very nice, young man.
You voted for it! Well... everyone except those who voted Bf109
+Quick Kits i find humbrol metalcote aluminum works great for paint chiping. its also great as you can buff it to make it more reflective for bare metal aircraft. since i found it i have used it on every single model without fail
birdie2580 I've heard about metalcote but never used it... I'l have to give it a try! Thanks
+Quick Kits no worrys. keep up the good work with the vids. the airfix 1/72 mustang is a good kit to try it out on and a nice kit in genral
Pls make Bf 109 with airbuss
How long did it take for u to complete this model? just asking.
Had the same issues with the fuselage, the cowling, and the wing fit. Needed to get about it with a judicious application of putty! Pitty as it made a frustrating build for an otherwise nicely detailed kit. Also, best ever application of mottle camo with a brush I've seen!

I do understand, that's a very good idea! Thank you! :D
Must be honest... for using a brush you get stunning results!
Twentecable well it more fun that way
That's an impressive finish for a brush painted kit, thumbs up on that, especially on the mottling, i'd struggle to achieve that with a brush.
Looks like a nice little kit, I've fancied building an 190A for a while
This is the best 1/72 scale plane I have seen made with a brush for sure!
Sander Gjertsen Østvold Thanks that means a lot!!! :D
def awesome to see such a talented modeler using only hand brushes. it def inspires me to hold off on buying an airbrush and just get better at hand brushing skills.
Awesome! Glad it has inspired you and shown that hand brushing can be nearly almost as good! Thank you for your comment :)
Just got this kit and I totally agree about the fit of the engine cowling being terrible. But, like you, I managed to sand it down to the point that it only required a slight amount of filler. I'm almost beginning painting now, and I look forward to seeing how it will turn out. Cheers!
Good to hear! I hope the painting goes well!
Your models already look great imagine what they would look like if you had an airbrush. great job keep it up
I actually just got a fw 190 today and im excited to build
This vid encouraged me to grab an old 1/72 Zero that was never built. Thanks for sharing.
+VALENGO11 good to hear it has inspired you! :)
I’ve been watching your videos like crazy ever since I started scale modeling again! And since I’m working on a f-15 crash diorama
just started this model except i've painted the nose, cowling and rudder yellow. Your mottling technique was also helpful when I did a Bf 109 G-6. Great model!
Hi Owen, hope you're well. you were complaining about needing lots of coats for the yellow. Try priming the area with white first, it does wonders! The yellow covers better and is much more distinct :)
+Juraj Sabo Thanks for that tip, I'll make sure to use it in the future!
This is a great video and is how most of use started building models, no airbrushes just good old paint brush
Great build of the FW-190! Waiting to see you build jet aircraft such as the Airfix Mig 29A. Keep up the great work!
This is probably my favourite Quick Kits video
Oooo good choice to be honest, I think my hair is too long in this one though :')
Quick Kits
What's the name of the music?
Chin Chin The Dark Lord It should be in the video description, I can't remember sorry

a stunner Owen, love the way you have achieved LF mottling without the airbrush. keep up the good work.
Bravo! Another great build and you achieved the mottling soooo well!

BAGHEAD1995 That means a lot, thank you so much! I'm trying to encourage other younger people like me to take up the hobby too through these videos
I tried the masking tape seat belt on my Italeri F-35. Thanks Owen! :)
No problem :)
I tried ur mottling technique and it looks amazing thanks
Thank you for sharing this. Your work is outstanding, and it's really helpful that you make such articulate comments in the voice over. Looking forward to more of your work - more power to you!
Thank you so much! :)
nice kit
i built the Tamiya version 1/48
i used liquid rubber mask (vajello) drops for my mottling effects which I also used on my Dragon 1/48 JU88 Night fighter
once again nice brush work skills

Nice plane model!!! I give a like. 👍👍
Love this, same with your Bf-110 and Spitfire Mk.1a dogfight double set
very nice brush work. you don't see that often these days.
You are me in 1966! : ) Airfix rules!!
Good work Owen ! Great work . on proving you don't need an aibrush or even fancy paints ; when you have the skill . Great video
Anthony Brown Thank you as always Anthony! :)
Very good teacher
You are very good at assembling the kits I have a revell model and don't understand the instructions. lol!
Lovely kit , Well done sir !
Beautiful work! Definitely buying this kit myself!
+Mike musto thank you! :)
Nice work, Owen.
Your skills using the brush are superb. All mine are built using brush work also. Keep up the good work young man.
looks strange with no swastika on the tail.
Yeah I agree, I need to get some aftermarket ones tbh
Just because of German Censorship...
Frank Atack
The Tamiya 1/72 one has a few swastikas
Chin Chin The Dark Lord because Tamiya is a brilliant company with zero fucks to give XD
SmokingSpitfire
Haha
Owen where are you mate,your videos and builds are amazing.!
great work
+cian kircher thank you!
Great build and video, thanks for sharing.
Hey up Owen, Thats a quality build mate, like it very much. I liked how you did the mottling with the brush, very clever. Im not sure but I think the propeller blades were made of wood, but its a cracking build
+Steven Dawson I've done some googling and you're right, the propellers were made of wood haha! One thing I'm not good on is the historical accuracy of my painting :') Thank you for pointing that out and I'm glad you like the model!
The blades were painted in a very dark black-green typically. Same on the 109.
very nice work everything is amazing
jimparashakis haha thank you!! :D
Hey Owen, I wouldn't recommend painting guns black instead use tamiyas X10 gunmetal been using this for a while and results are outstanding
I love these models
Another great job! I really like how you did the mottling!
***** Thanks, I'm planning on making a quick tip video on the mottling with this footage
Great job mate, well done on the paintwork!
jjab99 Thank you!
Great review. I just built one myself to. I built it because I remember seeing one that day at a air show I was at. (It did crash that day but the pilot is fine and it will be fixed).
Toby Corbett Did you see it crash? That would have been scary to watch
Yeah it was at Omaka airshow Blenheim new Zealand. one of the brakes failed on landing and it looped around ripping of the landing gear. But the pilot was fine and it wont be that long before the planes back up in the air.
this is really awesome dude
Thanks!
Just built one myself - great beginners kit, made a full video on it myself :)
Very great work. Excellent. Gratulation for you.
Chris from Hungary
It is absolutely beautiful as always your the best owen very good job !!!!
Mr.snipeskater Thanks a lot as always mate! :D
Awesome job! Looks like I might have to pick up one of those new tool Airfix kits!
They're definitely worth the money now
Great to see the results you can achieve with a brush. Excellent. Just one minor thing, can you give us the paint names as well as the Humbrol number please. Big thumbs up.
+baldyman1965 Thank you, I'll work on getting the paint names into future videos :)
lovely to see.
Fantastic looking kit. It looks great. I may be repeating myself (in which I'm sorry) but you might want to do a few more coats on the inside maybe.
Yakpackin Flys hahaha I always think the cockpits look fine, is it because I dry brush them and put a dark wash on them? Anyway thank you!! :D (and yes you've suggested the dinosaur before ;) )
+Quick Kits ok i couldn't find the dinosaur comment but now i know that i have said it but with the interior it just looks like it could use 1 or 2 more coats to make it look even. Maybe maybe not
I may revisit the FW 190 A-8, since I did okay on my first one, but I would really like to improve.
Try academy kits, it should have a cockpit details not like decals but painted
Nice
So very good !!!
I find paint chipping easier with a sponge . Dip the sponge in paint and then wipe some of it off.
That's a good technique! It's all down to personal preference
Such a Beautiful Masterpiece... I really like your build of Kurt Tank's creation...
(P.S. Kurt Tank made the Fw-190)
Thank you very much!
Quick Kits
You're welcome, Owen...
very nice
i wish you made ship models too
As always another good video, the effect of the paint is superb, thanks and waiting for your next build. :)
It would be nice if you build a helicopter.
small kit but realy cool airplane.
Oh my god.. HOW CAN YOU DO PAINTING LIKE THAT? I can't get even half of that goodness on my models with brush!
EdgarsModelling hahaha just make sure you thin the paint, I think that's the main thing to do. Just keep practising and you'll get there :) Anyway thank you!
nice!
I kinda wish I was good enough to do model work :/
I hope I can do modelling tanks/planes as a hobby in the future.
I would personally paint my planes black with yellow details.
I just bought my 3rd 1/72 fw190
I love his voice, we’re about from England are you I only really recognise West Yorkshire and Londoner accents bc I’m from wy
excellent work If I could give you more that one like would .great work
jaimerote haha thanks Jaime!! :D

Good job on than spiral on the propeller. I would like to see how you you added the masking tape to make the swirl
+TheSeryogian I should have shown that in the video! I basically cut a long right-angled triangle out of masking tape and wrapped it around
+Quick Kits thanks
Buen trabajo, el único pero es que le falta el simbolo de la swastica en el timon de cola.
Great job Owen. Nice detail...is it a new tool kit? Too bad you didn't use the pilot...haha. Happy modeling.Bill.
***** Yup it's new tooling! I'm sure the pilot will be employed to fly a different plane at some point haha! Thanks Bill
this is probably better than my air brushing lol+
instead of using PVA glue for the clear parts try using Humbrol clear fix as I find it sticks better.
incredible job on the 190 ! and it still amazes me how nice your paint jobs look without the use of an airbrush.
ever gotten any hate mail from an airbrush manufacturer or two ? hahaha :)
bohngi3 hahaha no hate mail as of yet, no bribes either :') Anyway thank you so much as always :)
Need to tell the color of the paint, not just the numbers, for us who don't use Humbrol paint.
ooooowwweeeeeennnnn ya models are so awsssooommee
Why thank you my good sir
Would you be able to do a 1:72 heinkel in revell as I have been looking at this kit for a while and I don't know if I should get it and you seem to be a great modeller so I wouldn't mind watching you build one! :) -tom
Build a bf 109 next!
Good work, but why you are not using airbrush ? Thanks in advance.
you've got skills my man, i want to get back into making 1/72's again but i had no idea how i could possily replicate luftwaffe camoflauge without using an airbrush (i just prefer brush painting) ... genius, thanks! also what brush do you use?
