Description
Ready for the fray
Long before America entered World War II, the Spitfire Mk. II was already fighting the Nazis. It's combination of improved propeller, more powerful engine and better pilot armor gave Britain's defenders a better chance against advanced German fighters. Though many other types were to come, it was the Mk I and II that broke the Luftwaffe in the crucial days during and just after the Battle of Britain. Nearly one thousand were produced in a shadow factory at Castle Bromwich. This kit features detailed parts and period markings.

Due to old age and increasing infirmaty I can only marvel at your your skill, my hands shake too much even to us a knife and fork, but I can still type with my right forefinger. I would love to see you complete a model of the P51 "Ding Hao". I first bought the Monogram kit nearly 60 years ago, and despite many attempts, I could not even come close to your skill. I have a 4x2 portrait of it in my bedroom (I had a photographer friend of mine blow the Monogram image up) Simply put... people like you give me a reason to be!
Hello John. First of all, HONORED! Second, thank you, because if you say that people like me give you a reason to be, then i can surely say that people like YOU are the reason this world os a better One, and because of that i have a reason to also exist. This is modeling, we deram throught our Models, fly, Sail through the seas, fight wars and pay our respects to all those who fought for us. For your life, and work what ever was thank you! Never EVER give up. And ALWAYS try to see through the fog that this life sometimes throw at us... with great respect..
Alex
@@AlexModeling It is so heartening to read this. I am blessed with many things and most of which relate to this post. I have my good health and nimble fingers and now that I am closer to 70 than 60 I want to try and exhaust my stash. This kit, and this dialogue have affirmed my wish to leave behind a legacy of plastic models for the sheer pleasure of the building.
What better way to relax before heading off to nightshift - watching a beautiful Spitfire come together! :)
Thank you Gary! thanks a lot!
Try building one. it soothes the soul to let another fly.
Pretty good job Alex! I'm in the middle of building the Revell mk IXc, myself. For future reference and only if you're really worried about it, of course, is the flaps. When the spitfire landed, the pilots immediately retracted the flaps to avoid damaging them on the taxi.
I built that kit in the mid 70s. A nice kit. It went together quite well back then .
Can't thank you enough for this review and build. I thought about getting this kit but now I will!! AND I plan to follow a lot of your assembly ideas Thanks again
Really beautifully done. Love how the rivets & panel lines show on the decals in some places, giving the illusion of being painted on!
Thanks
A most interesting, informative and enjoyable presentation. Thank you Alex.
Absolute cracking build Alex! Great video too! I like the longer one's, I shall come back to this 1 for reference! :-)
This was the video that got me into model kit building. One year and a month later, I can't tell you how much I enjoy the hobby. Oh, btw. Alerons up, down. One up. One down. Who cares! Beautiful work my friend ! All the best. As always. ~Bill

Excelente trabajo. Gracias por compartir.
Muchas Gracias
i like revell models
thank you so much for this video
Thank you for watching it! The ailerons are in the wrong position i realised that after finishing the video... always one up another down ok? :)
AlexModeling ya that's fine didn't really bother me
Very nice build Alex its seems like this is a must have, for that price. Especially for someone like me who dont want to mess up a 1:32 100 euro kit. Thank you for sharing the whole build.
Your a very good modeller man.. you could never go wrong on one of these:)
Chris Rea!! Love his music!! Thats in my wishlist!! Very nice build and video!
I love it too mate! :) they gave me a slap in the hand ( copyrights) but.. the music is soo cool.. ;)
He does have cool music!! Great work Mate!!
ScaleModelKitReview thank you... you do awsome work also!
hi Alex nice build very good weathering just cant beat a spitfire!
U sure do gr8 work!!!
+Dave Wright thanks Dave.... the kit is very good... that helped also... and the ailerons are in wrong position.. i ve done it right since then
. Thanks
i love these videos, you are skilled my brother......and you choice of music fits the videos well....as i am rediscovering modelling, these videos are giving me inspiration to rediscover lost skills. i have subscribed and will watch the other videos soon....watched the ME 109 G and Spitfire builds tonight.....cheers from USA.....
Thanks Gary!
Nice work!
Thanks!:)
One critique - ailerons move in the opposite direction - so one side will be up while the other down.
thank you. yes you r right... that mistake is already corrected.. thanks
AlexModeling Great piece though - what do you use for the antenna wire?
Matt Robinson On this one i think i used elastic wire... not sure but i think it was... but im sure you know you can also use melted stretched plastic also
AlexModeling I've tried that technique but I find it difficult and tedious. My last build was the 1/32 Revell Erich Hartmann Bf109 G10, and I used black sowing thread. Others I've used thin wire from train hobby supplies.
Matt Robinson Also very good!
Nice!
Awsome work! Keep going man!
What are you using at 9.48 ??
Francesco De Finis Vallejo Aluminium paints
Thanks !!
AlexModeling Fig
Brother Alex great video 2 thumps up even the music was very relaxing awesome video
I'll second that brother!
Thanks Brother!:)
tomcatter11 Thanks mate!:)
Thank you Alex!!
I didn't expect such a speedy reply.
My son got me back into building models again, I always loved 1/32nd scale. It was only a dream at one time that wouldn't it be great to see models like HE-111, JU-88 etc in 1/32nd.!! As for a beutifully detaile Spitfire like the one from R of Germany WOW.
right after I watched your video I went to ebay and bought it like you said it was $20 and it was the last one at that price.
Also I like the black application of paint before applying the final colours is there a formula you follow?
I look forward to seeing more of what you build
Thanks again
No mate there isnt a formula.. just aply black and then paint with a good AB the gaps beetwen leaving the panels.. its an option for pre shading:)
Nice bulid
I wan to go big now too, beautiful work.
If you Liked this you Must see the next one!lol
I look forward to it.
Awesome vid bud great way how you put the model kit from start to finish and an excellent showcase at the end awesome stuff bud😁 BTW did you say that flory wash was clay based?✈
yes i did! its a clay based wash easy to remove with a paper cloth or with water to remove it completly!
Very nice build ! But I seen that the gun sight looked a bit low ? I've got an old revel kit probley from the 70s or 80s not quite sure ? 1/32 tho just sitting on it and doing some mustle cars for now but sure liked all or builds !
👍👍👍
Like the musical back ground .If you know to build a model ki t just watch . You might get some ideas for your next project. Thank you.
Hi; beautiful kit and beatiful paint. I'd say there is a slight problem with the ailerons as they cannot be down at the same time, unlike the stabilizators. If you go to an air show this year ask pilots, this just a technical point! but the whole build is very nice though
Thank you, you are absolutly right It was my bad
Alex you have got the weathering skills mastered. Well done, took me many yrs to get a weathered finish to turn out that dirty. If I may offer some constructive criticism, the only 3 issues I see that keep your model from a real show winner is proper alignment of the landing gear, a few seams needed alittle filling and both of the ailerons are down. One aileron should be up and the other down. That's how an airplane rolls left or right. Please don't take offense to this, only trying to help. Normally I wouldn't comment on anyone's build but you have the touch for making really outstanding models. I would love to see more of your work.
Thank you so much! Please DO give me your opinion! And thanks... im currently building the 109 g6 revell same scale... as soon the video get out i would apreciat your opinion... thanks
What model do you recommend for a beginner? the spitfire is one of my favorites and I want to try it once I have developed some skill...BTW great videos!
45 mins wow!
Great build & an inspiration , when you are removing the excess wash do you dampen the kitchen roll first or use it dry ?
First i use it dry... if necessáry i dampen just a bit
Superbly done Alex and thank you for the build step by step. These new tool Revell kits are amazing aren't they?
Yes they are! what about your 109?:)
AlexModeling Are you asking me about the 1/48 Airfix I was working on with Shane? or you asking about the 1/32 Revell bf109 G-6 & G-10? The Airfix kit I don't even want to look at because of the primer failure. I will just start another one of these I have like 7 or 8 of them. Those big 1/32 kits will take a while before I get to them I need to improve my aircraft skills vastly before I attempt them.
TacticalJackalope i would never asked you for the 1/48 i saw how much "frustrated" you were... let it be and build another.. fresh mind on a fresh kit.. i was asking for the 1/32 they are simple as 1/48 believe me.. but then again if someone told me the same about a car for ex. i would say...-"yeah.. ok.." lol
AlexModeling Oh, no worries bud. You are not the first person that has told me that...perhaps I should reconsider? I will be getting my first UA-cam /Adsense payment soon and I have been considering splurging and buying a 1/32 Tamiya Spitfire.
you should.. they´r awsone.. sent you a PM
very nice alex very nice indeed..
69jmcc thanks:) but here i make a big big mistake.. the flaps are BOTH down... i didn´t knew that one must be up so... but it is corrected now.. thank you for your comment
+AlexModeling, didn't You know that ailerons works differentially, lol ;-) Beside that, You have nicely done that Spit... Best regards:-)
Sławomir Drews honestly i didnt... but hey.. no shame in that:) thanks
I have also made a model videos.
It 's hard to make the video.
I have also felt.
In close-up, and the commentary....
This video is made carefully.
Good. :)
thank you!:)
Hi there! Love your build. I would recommend you try Tamiya thin cement if you can source it where you are located :)
You gave me a bunch of ideas for my build. Thank you for making the video!
Thank you for watching it! :)
Bem Haja !! Gostaria de deixar um conselho; use um pouco menos de pressão no aerógrafo para certos pormenores. Também uma ponteira de menor diâmetro e tinta mais diluída ajudam quando definir os painéis das asas ou fuselagem. Bons kits !!
VERY nice result, Alex! And a good demonstration of various products, and the video will be very educational for people that are new to the hobby.
However, you forgot to film spraying "dark earth" (intentional?) which isn't really a problem... but you should have mentioned gloss coating it prior to decals and weathering.
I'll give you 9.5 out of 10! Very good video.
The dark earth was not intentional i was filming and the batery went dead just when i was starting to film.. i had the paint already thinned on the AB so... better not to dry! i actually had a video that showed me giving a clear coat but as you can see im not a pro on this... on some clips there is to much light and on others to few... that one was clear as totally clear because the sun made the film all white so... thanks
another amazing build! Question, I often see chalk pastels on workbenches, and I saw you about to do something with an eyeshadow applicator, but then it cut to another shot. Would you mind sharing the use of pastels, how and when to use and what u were doing with that eyeshadow applicator. Would love to know those techniques if you don't mind please. All the best! Great work, you are a pleasure to watch.
Thank you Wakeman... will try to explain it to you as soon as i can ok? Thanks again
Super Work Alex! Quick question, i want to make this kit but i don't want to do all the color mixing link in the guide. Can you post a list of colors you used please? :) Thanks in advance!
Just got this build for Christmas. I am still new to modelling and have just started using an airbrush. I have used to for a model porche which came out well. How should I go about camo painting for somebody of my skill level?
Great to see a "full build" video from you. Nice editing and good music. The Spit turned out great too. Have you counted the hours you have spend in the hobby? It looks like you are closing in on those 10.000 ;) Great job Alex.
Thank you so much for commenting! Its a hobbie... but sometimes i really am sorry i didnt count the amount of time on it... love your channel;) thanks for the compliment on the video... but there s still a lot i have to learn on video editing;)
AlexModeling You learn by doing and you are doing fine. Editing is actually really simple. It's the software that makes it complicated ;) Once you start to edit your footage you have a new potential path. You can go down that path as long as you choose or stop and turn back. It's your own decision but you have opened new potential for personal growth. Like a new bud on a flower. This is what I love about UA-cam. You get to see people grow :)
Modellours Workshop i agree with you! I own a lot to this community... it made me go better and better (or at least try) ;) let me just say that your channel is one of my favorits! Great content! Thanks
Your not a pro I think you got that wrong superb video and superb build I like the 1/32 scale just wish revell would do a new tooling hurricane keep up the great work
Alex my friend this is a great build, I've watched it a few times. I'm usually a 1/72 scale builder and do 1/48 here and their. But I've bin having an itch to build 1/32. Do you think this would be a good kit to give it a go? Hope you are well my friend.
Hello Hardi my friend! I hope you and your family are ok... on this build there is a mistake... both ailerons are down (my pure mistake) one must be up ant the other down... this being said.. it is a fantastic kit to build.. i had tremendous fun on it... a word of caution... when building the pilots seat... its 4 pieces i think and it must be perfect otherwise the cair will be twisted on the cokpit.. nice seing you my friend
All is well on the home front. Just pulled the trigger and ordered the 1/32 spitfire. Thanks for the advise. Keep safe and be well my friend.
@@hardihood1 If you like the Spitfire, I will also recommend the Revell 1/32 Hawker hunter. That's a good size build, not too hard on the wallet, either.
Wow that's beautiful job may I ask what's paints you used.
Life color RAF Paint pack
Building this kit at the moment. Seen comments about the roundels on the underside wings being an issue because of the bulges to cover - how did you manage that so well???
Lovely build 👍🏻
Thank you! Honestly i didn t had any issue with it. Its been build a long time ago but i remember the roundels were good! Good luck with yours
Music by
Chris Rea - On the beach
What is the reason for separating the red from the white and the blue on the decals going under the wing ?
Can a Spitfire move both ailerons in th down position...If that is so then its something I didn't realise...I can only imagine it would be the case if one of them were 'unwired' for transporting...Great build all the same...Thanks for the vid!
No... This was my mistake... Back then i actually Saw ONLY One picture were the ailerons stood like this and it was my mistake. Thank you
Hi Alex
how did you get the dials onto the dashboard, the decal supplied is one large piece did you cut out the individual dials, if so what with ? great build will be using it as a reference for my build
thank you
Hy Mark... well.. i placed the decal cut in sections onto the inst panel... then placed it on top of it... used a lot of setting solution and very veeery patiently with a brush toke care of the wrinkles... sometimes used a needle in order to make sure the air underneath the decal could come out in order for it to sattle... it was a boring process but in the end paied of... off corse you can always cut the dials!:)
Thanks for your comment:)
Hey man where did you buy this awesome plane?
Earl Grey the shops
Am deef! Is it the video or at my end?
UA-cam removed tge vídeo dued to copyright issues... Obviously your are not deef
Элероны у самолёта всегда один в верх, другой в низ. А ты их оба опустил. Модели делаешь хорошо, хоть поинтересуйся как они действуют. )))))
Hi Alex great video, can I ask what airbrush and compressor you use?
a veda AB and the cheepest compressor i could find on ebay:) eheheh.. cheers and thanks.. sorry about the la k of music
+AlexModeling thanks for the advice and don't apologise for the lack of music I kind of prefer it that way anyway :). (i should qualify that I like the commentary but prefer it without music.
If you need any ideas for videos then maybe some tutorials on your airbrushing techniques would be cool.
Oh and the ailerons at the end? All wrong... tsc tsc! :):)
+AlexModeling I wasn't going to mention that...we all make mistakes ;)
+Brian Thomas i dont mind that... at least i built it! its a knotch on my belt! :)
Is it my imagination or is there no audio or music on this video?
Nice build as always Alex
Thanks to UA-cam copyright machine... No its not your imagination
@@AlexModeling This video looks amazing - is there a chance you could send me a version which includes your audio? I am about to receive my spitfire kit in the mail, and this video seems like it would (with audio) be JUST the reference for me to achieve good results. Sending love from New Jersey, USA
I would but i don r have it. And its just músic. Not xomentary so what you see os what u get... But you can t ear the soundtrack
Just one question, why are both ailerons down, as they move in opposition to each other.
Sout park
Copywright removed one of the sounftrack so im sorry for that!
So the entire audio was removed???
Hey Alex
Yeah great build but the ailerons goof is a bad one dude!
You have to change the end of this showing them in the correct positions.
It just looks all wrong.
Beautiful model, but surely the ailerons are on the wrong position?
You know you did an excellent job but the alearons don't move in the same direction
hey nice videos i love modelling!
also i love the music but it is kinda too loud and when you speak i can't hear you :/
In the beginning of your film that colour chart is there an app for it?
+Frederick J. Meccia how are you Fred? yes.. its called "Hobby Color Converter!":)
what is that on the brush?, i mean the sanding material
What are the 2 Tamiya glues you use one has a green top and the other a red top?
the red one is thick regular tamyia glue.. i use it for big surfaces.. the green is Tamyia thin cement... it melts the plastic.. you DRY FIT the pieces together and pass the aplicator beetween both pieces on the joints and.. voila!:)
How do I get the stickers off they don’t seem to come off
buen spitfire.....una cosa los alerones...en este modelo nunca podrían estar abajo los dos a la vez.....cuan uno subía otro bajaba......
+roberto ballesteros Si... mas tarde me diseran eso (si usted leer los comentarios tuvo mas que mi cuenta de ellos:) ) e ya estan corretos.. gracias
Did your great work and I love watching you guys do your job or hobby but please do away with the music a lot of people including myself would rather hear you talk and explain instead of listen to the music😊👍
Have you seen my recent vídeos? Thanks. Cheers
AlexModeling Great job on the Spitfire ,Alex. I too am a modeler but average at best. Right now I’m just trying to get it down to have it look like a decent model.Every time I look at you guys ,the work that you do makes me try harder to perfect my models
Never give up! Im still an average modeler but above all i have fun! Cheers
Nice work. But the ailerons are in a wrong position like flaps. Saludos!
yes unfortunatly i didnt knew back then! gracias for pointing that up to me! believe me i still love this one.. when i look at it I... smile but.. yep.. ailerons! thank you!:)
すばらしい出来映えです。しかし左右のエルロンは同じ方向には動かないのでは？
How can both ailerons be down?
hey buddy what kind for paint did u use enamel or acrylic
acrilics! AK acrilics! i show it on the video
Newb just starting out question...does this model have raised panel lines? is that why you brush them dark before you paint the rest of the model?
+joe leder this model has not raised panel lines. It is the most well detailed spit i ve ever seen:)
thanks for clarifying!
You skipped the seat build
Where are you from, and how long you have been doing scale models ?
Im from Portugal as you can see on the initial part of the video (i show my flag) and im doing it for just a couple of years
Thanks again Alex.
I watched the video again with my son last night. You mention "Vallejo"? paints. I saw them used on a U-Tube video the modeler was building the 1/32nd scale HE-111. I would like to try these as they appear to be non-toxic and you can use them in the airbrush right out of the bottle !!? Which would be good for my son to start airbrushing without the chemical smells in the house. Where does one buy them?
Thanks again!!
Probably the 1/32 build HE111 was mine... i use vallejo all the time... well... AK paints are water based... yhe new ones even have a sweet smell and are not toxic! I would go for AIR VALLEJO or AK paints! ;)
nicely done, shame about the ailerons.
