Not only do I want to dabble in aviation models (I'm primarily armour models), I also want to play some DCS and fly my F18C about, incredible build! I love the mottling effects you did with your jet, it gives me the idea to try and translate that onto an aging tank and make a realistic fading effect
That is the prettiest weathering on a Bug I have yet seen. Understated and very realistic. I have two Foxtrots slated for VFA-41. Shall put in as much effort as you, and the aftermarket burner cans are a great incentive.
thanks for your comment🙂 I have seen works of many modelers.. there are various styles.. for me....clean conservative style I still find it a bit boring..especially for military models🙂 model making is subjective.. I like exaggerated and rich expressions,"scale model" is not the real thing after all.. of course. not everyone likes it. I'm still figuring out what suits my style best.. anyway. Thanks for your comment.. it's very useful for me🙂
@@MRLINSSCALEMODELING I agree if it is clean is boring.... It needs to look realistic. It should not look like a leopard, mottled from tip to the end. But again, if it is your taste, go ahead with what you like.
This might be the best one I’ve ever seen. The only thing that is a bit inaccurate is that the WSO (the backseater) does not wear the JHMCS helmet, they wear the regular visor.
So nice F-18. Awesome details and construction. Just a little complain: why do jou make a "marble" and weathering work in missiles? They supposed to be almost brand new and are storaged in very well condition away from the enviromental influence. Congrats!!!
hi,thank you !!😊 about the missles..actually, I didn't know much about the storage status of missiles.. I paint them that way just for fun..😂 again,thank you for the info and thanks for watching!! have a nice day!!👍
thank you..😊 This video is the longest one I have made so far.. I hope this video is informable and can inspire the viewers.. your support is what keeps me going!!!👍
Incredible how beautiful the model turned out, my congratulations! I hope you build more airplanes because they are my preference, so I will take references in my models. Greetings from Spain!
Great looking Rhino! You have the weathering dowm pat! And not to be a downer but on the starboard side your aircraft designator (the Letters) are upside down, it should have the N on top, or NH. Port side is correct. Again magnificant work!
Hi Mr. Lin, greetings can you let me know where you get all this tools, paints to make the models? also where do you get the models itself? I live in Malaysia. Thank you ✌😀
building this right now. funny, I did the exact same build sequence as you did last night before I even saw this video. Don't follow instructions for intake fitting. Do it like this video and save a lot of headache and fitting issues.
Very nice build. Built this one bout a year ago ...great kit I don't weather as Heavy as you well done 👏 also have the G and E in the stash HAPPY SCALING 👋.
I just love this kit , it is one of my all-time favorites. I can't afford all the aftermarket stuff, so out of the box it is for me. But, your excellent video will help me get the most out of the next one I build thanks!
hi,I forgot to mention that..😅 the paint I useed to paint "shadow" is clear black mix with clear brown.. I use Mr.color GX-101 and GX109.. no certain mixing ratio..heavy dilutied with thinner.. my method of operation is to lower the air pressure and spray thin layers..try to focus on the panel line,sometimes you feel like it's too shiny when finished..after couple coat of matt finish,it will be fine.. happy modeling and have a good day!!🙌
@@MRLINSSCALEMODELING 😅 Thanks to you colleague modeler with the needle 0.18 it should go well ps770 just make clear black/brown maybe it'll do with Tamiya X19 Congratulations again for your achievement👏
Great build, great weathering and the amount of patience you put into this kit is showing, a little request for a video in the future, can you put what color did you use in the video?
hi..this beauty tooks me over 100 hours..😅 most of the time is spent painting and weathering. this paintng method takes longer than normal..I like the complexity and contrast of colors presented this way..😊
hi,most of tem show up in the upper left corner of my video some of the colors I mixed myself which I can't accurately list the colors ..or sometimes I just forget to show them..😅 welcome to ask questions..I will try my best to answer them.. cheers!!😊
Another beautyfull build from Mr LIN. I do admire the builders who can wheather the planes like that. I made a try with a car,but this wheathering is miles ahead of my wheathering. I can watch this video time after time and see something new.
thank you..you are so kind..😊 I feel well weathering can be achieved with practice,once you get used to the paint and technique.. it's much easier than you think happy modeling and have a nice day!!🙌
I was going to buy this at my local hobby store. It was the only hornet he had. I’m glad I came here though, because I probably wouldn’t be able to put it all together. I’m pretty new to scale models.

Sir, it is one of the most beautiful Super Bugs I've seen. You should definitely try to build another jet, pure pleasure to watch.
thank you!!😊
I am not familiar with modern fighter models..try to build it as good as I could...
I'm glad you like it..
have a nice day!!

Absolutely beautiful. Love the music too. A nice spin on an old favorite. Your weathering techniques are priceless to watch.
Thank you very much!!😄
wish my video is informable..😊
Another superb model Mr. Lin, excellent paintwork & weathering!
Thank you my friend!!
My first time building a morden jet fighter, lot things to learn…
Very nice two seater jet i like this jet.❤😊👍🤗☺️🇺🇸
Thank you very much!😄
Brilliant workmanship ❤
Thank you 😊
Dang, this is the best model I've ever seen
thank you!!😊
Really cool tutorial and model.

nice painting，awsome job
Thank you very much!😄
Stunning, you did very well!
Thank you very much!!
Awesome job , building one at the moment with an Australian livery
Thank you very much!!😊
Porque pinto los cascos del piloto y el RIO del mismo color y diseño ?? Mejor diferentes diseños pero con los mismos colores
sweet baby Jesus that is awesome work....what color gray did you use for the added line to the Black Aces logo
Thank you, the color of the stripe is mr.color c305(for f-15),it just fit!!😊
Wunderschön❤Klasse Arbeit👍
Vielen Dank!!😊
Well done !!!
thank you!!😊
Did you clear gloss coat over the paint before decals or was the paint a gloss? Or did you put the decals over flat coat paint?
hi,I apply decal directly on the painted surface.
after the decal is dried..I usually apply a thin clear coat,just to protect the decal.😊
Absolutely amazing job!
Thank you very much!!😄
A work of fine art!
thank you very much!!🙂
Fantastic❤
thank you very much!😄
What color(s) of oil paint are you using for the oil staining on the belly ( 26:04 )? Thank you.
hi,the color is burnt sienna and black.
It turned out better than I expected..highly recommended😊
@@MRLINSSCALEMODELING Thank you. Yes, I will be using this on my Luftwaffe Mig-29.
@@Yardbird68 you are welcome!!
have a nice day😊
One more quick question. What is the " approx" drying time for this? Cause I know oil paints can take awhile. Thank you.
hi,I let them dry about 3days..try not to touch it.. 😅
how long does it take for you to complete this kit?
hi..this beauty tooks me over 100 hours..😅
most of the time is spent painting and weathering.🙂
This is really amazing work! 學到很多實用的技巧，下一台F-18，我也想學您這樣製作。請問您是用0.2mm的噴筆嗎？
感謝!!希望我的影片對你有幫助..
是的.我使用Mr.hobby P.S 270以及P.S 289 的0.2及0.3 mm 噴筆..對我來說很順手..😊
@@MRLINSSCALEMODELING 感謝您的回覆，另外想請教您，影片中抹除Panel line時，您是用一般廚房紙巾，請問有額外使用溶劑嗎？我試過類似的技法，但是光用紙巾沒有辦法像您一樣擦得乾淨。
HI,是的..就是一般的廚房紙巾..我喜歡它的韌性和不殘留纖維
通常我在washing半乾燥時去抹除.可以有暈染的效果..如果顏料已經乾燥後..我會沾一點田宮的砝瑯漆溶劑..比較好清除殘餘的塗料
@@MRLINSSCALEMODELING 感謝您的回覆，我來試試看
別客氣!!一點經驗分享..希望對你有幫助!!😄

should have done the cockpit that way, def harder doing the way the instructions state.

Greetings from Spain!
Thank you very much!! 😊
next project working on...and it's a jet fighter...☺️
When yiu are painting after the primer are you doing the whole plane in those small movements?
yes..it takes time...but I feel the result is worth it...😄
super 😎
which camera you use?
hi, just normal cell phone... 😅
Great looking Rhino! You have the weathering dowm pat! And not to be a downer but on the starboard side your aircraft designator (the Letters) are upside down, it should have the N on top, or NH. Port side is correct. Again magnificant work!

Hi Mr. Lin, greetings can you let me know where you get all this tools, paints to make the models? also where do you get the models itself? I live in Malaysia. Thank you ✌😀
hi,I got most of them on web store or local model shop.😊
huge step an gap on the nose by applying black C.A glue which sandpaper grit are you using ? over acceleration deformed shape?
hi,I use #400-#600 sand paper and sanding sponges for sanding, of course there will be a slight change of the shape,but it's almost invisible😊
building this right now. funny, I did the exact same build sequence as you did last night before I even saw this video. Don't follow instructions for intake fitting. Do it like this video and save a lot of headache and fitting issues.
yes.. I always dry fit first .. find out the best way.. not necessarily follow the instructions exactly😄
Very nice build. Built this one bout a year ago ...great kit I don't weather as Heavy as you well done 👏 also have the G and E in the stash HAPPY SCALING 👋.
thank you very much!😄
Amazing work
hank you very much!😄
What type of airbrush are you using and what size nozzle allows you to paint so fine a line? Thank you. Great build.
hi,I use Mr.hobby PS270 0.2mm and PS289 0.3mm airbrush for painting
I follow the steps yoyu said to make the dirty effects and y cant make it :')
practice..practice..practice..that is what I did...
take you time, it will be fine🙂
Wow a very nice build. What color did you use for the black aces decal on the tail for the missing stripe?
Thank you, the color of the stripe is mr.color c305(for f-15),it just fit!!

Nice man, how long to wait for the matte clear coat after the oil paints/weathering is applied?
hi, I wait it at lest 48 hours..make sure the oil paint and weathering is dried
The nozzle it's self just has sooo much detail. I love it ❤
thank you very much!!🙂
Keep up the great work 😁
Excellent work my friend. Congratulations. Cheeeers.
thank you very much!!!😊
Well well done Mr Lin's
can you tell me your secret for mixing "shadow" paints?🙏
hi,I forgot to mention that..😅
the paint I useed to paint "shadow" is clear black mix with clear brown..
I use Mr.color GX-101 and GX109.. no certain mixing ratio..heavy dilutied with thinner..

It’s was a masterpiece of a build I’m currently building a f15 model haven’t started yet just got to buy some paint and glue then I can get started
thank you very much!!🙂
I like F-15 too..will build one sometime😊
Un lavoro eccellente... complimenti!
Grazie mille!!🙂
The nose gap is the main problem in FA18 kits, I built a hasegawa 72nd scale one with same problem 😢
yeah.. this problem is kind of annoying😂
