Had lots of fun on this project and learned a few things as well. Wanted to show the bomb drop, but then I couldn't have Hans and Franz get away with that! Thanks for watching and your generous comment!
Really great denouement to the story! Glad you're keeping them uppity pilots under control. The elliptical wingboys have it! Great combo of aeromodeling and film work. You've put a lot of work into this and it's paid off in the result. Lovely! 🌟👍
This was awesome! The build (excellent), the video (very entertaining), the maiden flight (what can I say - hard to overcome Spits!)! Keep up the great work.
Its great to see the not only the construction of the model, but to see the virtual story of the history of the actual plane played out in the sky. My hat is off to you for your creativity, construction skills, and story telling. It took a great deal of work and time to make this great little video, congratulations. You are truly having too much fun! 😃
Built an RC Guillows Stuka about 20 years ago. You have really raised the bar with your build and this amazing video. Very well done. Hope your Stuka is back in the air soon. Thank you for sharing your work.
Thanks for watching! You never know what's going to happen on a maiden flight, but the bullet holes have been repaired and it' back to flying condition.
I've build the Guillows Giant scale Sopwith Camel and loved every minute of it, But you took it to a whole new level! Good to see Hanz und Fritz performing theire duties well, I think they deserve a glass of snaps.
I'm glad they survived. What a nice model I think I'd be afraid to fly it. I've built several Guillow models and love them. I have a PBY awaiting construction. Great video thanks. Ned
Ģreat stuff... beautiful build and super flying video. If they were mine, I'd be very proud of both of them. I'm glad I just found your channel - to parrot-phrase Arnie, I'll be back!
The built quality and video skills are to be admired, but an animated video somewhat difficult from what the title suggests. I had hoped to see footage of a flying model.
Beautiful model - Guillows never looked so good! LOVED the close up sequences too, and your fabulous attention to detail 👍. Also appreciated how you brought in the Spit; just please tell me you didn't really snap/spin it in😲. Well, if you did, you made the most of it!😉
Yes, it got away from me in silhouette! Just glad I caught on video, turned out to be a useful bit of footage. Minor repairs and it's back in flying condition. Thanks!
That was funny and good. Der jaeger luftwaffe got a taste of limey Royal airforce with Nigel and Tarquinn. The radio towers are safe, off to London for a spot of tea and a plate of Anguses famous Haggis surprise. Cheerio pip, pip and all that sort of rot.🤣
That's an amazing job, i always rewatch the build video, its one of the best builds ive seen. If you don't mind me asking - why ommit the two sirens on the landing gear? Sorry for asking. They usually don't sound right on small scale, but i like them anyway.
Thanks for your comments! I guess I forgot to make the scale sirens. I was thinking about adding one of those whistles that go on the out side of your car to scare off deer and moose, just didn't get to it when I made this video. Thanks for watching!
Right with you. I tried that on my little 400mm mustang, it didn't go fast enough. You might want to enlarge the hole if it doesn't make noise in a dive for your bigger planes. If you do put the dive sirens or whistle on, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks, not exactly sure, but I suspect it was mostly do to my bad piloting skills (getting lost in the silhouette). There was only minor damage and I was able to repair it and get it back in the sky for more filming. The crash did come in handy in the making of the video though, glad I got that on film!
The proportions of the JU-87Stuka make it a particularly good flying model as longs the size is on the larger side. Lots of wing area keeps the wing loading low and the generous tail surfaces help keep it stable. Too bad it was such a murderous weapon against civilians in the hands of the Nazi's. Still, a great model. Nice to see that the swastika was not shown.
Yes I agree, the wing loading was creeping up as I built it, but got it up in the air. It is an interesting and challenging subject for model building. It has a goofy and menacing look at the same time. Just trying to keep things fun, no historical accuracy here. Thanks for watching!
@@punkworkschannelYes, fun is the goal of our hobby. The biggest and most interesting problem when building scale flying models is how to add convincing scale detail without busting the maximum permissible wing-loading for good-looking, well-controlled flight. This is why simpler aircraft designs (Piper Cubs, etc.) work so well in this genre. Aircraft such as the JU-87 present constant problems for which compromises must be made. Materials such as foam and blown thin plastic parts help a lot. Size, in this case, and for many good aerodynamic reasons, really matters. Smaller scale models present an almost insurmountable set of problems that can and usually only be solved by so limiting their weight and structures that they can only be safely flown indoors or in absolutely still air (rarely found outdoors). For authentic-looking outdoor scale flying, go large or go home. As we know, full-size aircraft are mostly air surrounded by the most minimally necessary structure. Our scale models must be constructed similarly if we want them to fly with any reasonable scale authority. Otherwise, what we get are all of those flitting, super-speedy, mosquito-like things that can hardly be said to be “flying” at all. Cheers and good flying.
This whole project build and video should be nominated for an Oscar. It is actually very factually correct. Amazing work.
Had lots of fun on this project and learned a few things as well. Wanted to show the bomb drop, but then I couldn't have Hans and Franz get away with that! Thanks for watching and your generous comment!
Awesome build and video editing!! Us as kit builders are a dying art. Love it, keep those builds coming!!!
Thank you! There's a lot to learn from kit building and it's fun!
Now that’s how you make a model airplane video right there!
Thanks for watching!
Great build video! Really fun flight video! Superb entertainment for all WWII aviation enthusiasts whether model builder or not.
Just trying to make fun videos of a fun hobby. Thanks for watching!
Really great denouement to the story! Glad you're keeping them uppity pilots under control. The elliptical wingboys have it!

Thank you! Had a lot of fun making this one.
This was awesome! The build (excellent), the video (very entertaining), the maiden flight (what can I say - hard to overcome Spits!)! Keep up the great work.
Thanks! I'll agree with you about the Spitfires.
Great model building, vieography, editing and story. Thanks for sharing your many talents 👍🏻
Thanks! Had a lot of fun creating this video.

Never have so many owed so much to so few...or something like that.
Extremely entertaining.
Tally-ho! Had fun making that video. Thanks!

I had fun building and making this video. A round of drinks for everybody!
first class video, thank you
Thanks!
Wow! That must have taken a crazy amount of time to create. Nice job.
Ya, I put a lot of work into that, but I leaned a lot too. Thanks for watching!
Superb, Thanks, Mike.
Thanks Mike! If you haven't already, check out the build video of this model on the Punk Works channel.
I'm glad they survived. What a nice model I think I'd be afraid to fly it. I've built several Guillow models and love them. I have a PBY awaiting construction. Great video thanks. Ned
Ya, those maiden flights are always a bit nerve wracking! Love the Catalina, that should be a fun build! Thanks for watching!
Excellent!!!
Had fun making that one, thanks for watching!

Thanks! It's a fun hobby and a great way to "Let off some steam"!
Excellent!
Thank you!
The built quality and video skills are to be admired, but an animated video somewhat difficult from what the title suggests. I had hoped to see footage of a flying model.
There are lots of shots of the model actually flying. Just tying to make a fun video with the animation mixed in. Thanks for watching!
Super vidéo!!
Thanks!
Very cool model and presentation!
Thanks! It was fun building, flying and making this video.
Too cool! Better than watching television! Rogue Spitfire out of Biggin Hill got the Krauts!
Had a lot of fun putting this video together, glad you liked it and thanks for watching!

Happy you enjoyed that old boy!
it must of been scary when the stukas came diving in with that screaming siren.
A sound designed specifically to terrify.
Ernst Rudel would approve.
Thanks for watching!
Spielberg would be proud nice edit
Thanks, had fun making that one.
You should get 500 likes for every click! That was excellent!
Thanks, glad you liked that one!
Dive bomber! Dive bomber! Stuka! Stuka!! 🤯
Thanks for watching!
the heart of the Luftwaffe the Ju 87 Stuka dive bomber fighter of the second world war.
Thanks for watching!
very cool!!!
Thanks! Lots of great videos on your channel, I build the Guillow's Airacobra kit some time ago but it didn't come out as nice as your build!

Great job on the video and was nice to see the model flying. What cause the crash (besides the Spit of course)?

There was only minor damage and I was able to repair it and get it back in the sky for more filming. The crash did come in handy in the making of the video though, glad I got that on film!
@@punkworkschannel happy to hear the damage was repairable!
