A simple little channel about building, detailing, creating, and loving bringing model kits to life!
I don't just built and paint here - I've spent most of my life serving in uniform and learning about military technology on the job. In my videos I try to share some of the history, the technical facts, what we call "the beeps and squeaks" - the how and why - of the models I'm building and showing you as we go!

This video is not sponsored, I paid for the kit we are looking at here, and there is no affiliation between the seller and my channel. They didn't know I even had a channel until after the kit was shipped. I'm dropping a link to their Etsy store because they gave great customer service and produced a great product.

The one you ve built is correct the other one you show isn't 😉
Cool, thanks for the review!
How do you know how to paint the parts
There are painting instruction in the kit. But a little online research also goes a long way. There are always some little details every kit's instructions miss. You can built and paint just fine without looking at pictures of aircraft and ordnance. But if you spend some time looking around you'll find some places where you can add just a bit more detail with your paintbrush that will really make the model look great.
what do you expect for a 8-9 euro model?!
The paint is done. The separation of mica, suspension fluid, and additives has rendered that type of paint moot
But no pilot and that is a no go for me.
You're willing to skip an excellent kit of the subject because there's no pilot figure?!? I'd rather buy a good kit and source a pilot figure, than buy something like one of the older Hasegawa kits just because there's a just OK pilot figure in there.
Do you apply grey primer then add a gloss black coat before applying rainbow roll?
I use Alclad Gloss N;ack Primer. It takes care of both steps.
Sub.
There are two good books out there on the drones. I think they're just entitled as fireflies. Maybe rhymes in the name. I've got the books here someplace but I've got so much stuff I can't remember where it's at. Lots of good pictures. There was one from Vietnam. It was called tomcat and don't remember how many missions it flew before not returning
My dad worked for Ryan over 20 years. I did 14 and change. Love seeing these things wrapped up and shipped off as well as the airframe for the Apache helicopter. Those were good days until Boeing bought McDonald Douglas and took the Apache away from us. bye bye job
I hate how basically 90% of the aerospace industry falls under three roofs now.
Which one is which???
The lighter one of the Holo, and the darker one is Rainbow Roll.
オリジナルキットはMAUVE製でした。私はエッチングとトラックの付属したセットを所有しています。デカールは異なります。
so those minis look like they came out of a combat patrol box, thus the photocopied instructions. it seems like you are getting 100$ at full msrp so what ever the price is without discounts. but those handles are 10 to 15 and 5 resin minis is not worth 35$ not good value for money. if it was 2 units out of a combat patrol and some resin minis i could see it.
I had the Revell kit as a kid, both in 1/144 and 1/48; I loved it. For me, it was the OG Stealth Fighter, but as it was a ripoff basically of the Testors design, both Arii and Revell withdrew theirs. Which is why those are much rarer these days... And some RC guys made the F-19 design fly btw. So the aerodynamics actually work! There's a YT clip of it; go look for it 😁
Good for 40K!
Wouldn't it have been a lot easier to do the mantlet for the main gun whilst assembling the kit ? That way you could have put the magnets behind the gun rather than at the side so it wouldn't droop
As a model builder that wants to build accurate models I appreciate this video but if I wanted to build a accurate Ukraine Abrams what kit would I buy because I built the M1A2 tusk 2 by RFM and it was 100% accurate and I was going off of a Abrams tank book I have but great video I understand your point and I will subscribe and thank you for your service!!!!
You have to get the TouchToys J16 Volanshark!
Much like a Grot with a welding torch, I'm looking at this less for the models themselves and more than devious little things I could smash them with to make something very ramshackle. Thanks for the review. God bless.
REALLY late to the party but the big clear parts on the sides of the nose are forward camera sensors for the panoramic cockpit
That looks awesome!! What's that model from?
Those old kits are the best ,here in Australia we don't get many of those Atlantis kits but as soon as they turn up in shops they are gone .
Buen dia, perdon pero salvo las calcas no hay nada nuevo bajo el sol, es una muy buen kit con más de 20 años
David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Thursday, 18 July, 2024) A base one can see intrudes upon the verisimilitude of the model. I never saw a plane with the world’s longest telegraph pole sticking out its belly. At 4:00, you even refer to “airplanes on a stick”. I have an idea (borrowing from the Chapman Crane in the motion picture industry, both cinema and television), though as I am not the technical sort, likely would require someone such as yourself. Something about your confidence and enthusiasm suggests to me that you have the mechanical and the electrical skills to develop my idea to fruition.
Should come with alternate decals. I contacted Tamiya and they sent me a free sheet of U.S. Army one.
it is incredibly cheap and low quality i cant believe it... thanks for a good review though
Looks great. Now if you could just ship the real thing to Putin in sufficient numbers. HAHAHAHA!
I like your videos, but a big distraction for me is all of the hand gestures. I find myself focusing on the hand swipes more than the kits.
The Instrument of DOOM!
I am planning to build this but with the landing gears retracted but i have no idea how. Please give me ideas
The rest of the world (including ukraines leaders) are profiting massively from this war, why shouldnt tamiya take more of the idiots money if they're willing to part with it😂
shut up
looks cool, would like to see it completely finished with paint and weathering
To fix the last Canon all you would have to do is put a magnet dead center of the back of the ball of the last Canon, and then on the front bracket put a magnet on the inside of it that way the two magnetic poles would keep the glass Cannon pointing straight and you wouldn't have to worry about making it permanent
bruh where the hell your stl file link at? its non-existent in your description lmao
what was the stretchy sheet you used for canopy mask please ?
I bought an F-16 thinking it was MASTER CRAFT ! not a good experience , looks like it was made from 3 kits , even different colours and don't even think about putting the decals on !! Good luck man !! does it have recessed panel lines ??
i have bought a lot of 1/72 f5 kits since 2020 and now I’m thinking of buying the f5 in sd form.
Wonky was a Kinetic trademark lol Dane
The plane does look like if someone had a picture of a MiG-29 and was being described an Su-27 over the phone. Great results tho.
10:51 I like your video and I’ll be magnetizing one of these for my Krieg when I get time. One thing I did, after years of magnetizing, is make what I call a magnet jig. I took a big 3D printed base that was the wrong size and glued a series of magnets down with labels. When I’m gluing a magnet to a hull or weapon mount, I peel from one stack. When gluing a magnet to a weapon, I peel from that stack. Since making that I haven’t screwed up one polarity. I’ve also become a fan of gluing a big magnet to the inside of the hull for things like a hull mounted gun than drill it out, just saves time when you buy as many models as I do 😆
Any tips for making and painting the Valkyrie? I am starting my second Astra militarum army and I'm planning on a Valkyrie being the first model of my ww2 Japan inspired army. I have very little experience painting on models so any advice would be greatly appreciated
If you just want a clear canopy I would use the clear one buy me I would do the ones you have to paint
Unfortunately my local store is games workshop so proxing is not allowed with nonGW kits which makes sense. The valkyrie reminds me of the Mi-24
I use a few proxies myself, my favorite is using this huey I have from hobby boss as both a valkyrie and vulture.
Great video. Stationforge has been my go to for my guard army. If you like that valkerie you should check out their grimguard SF-19A plane. It makes a great avenger strike fighter or voss pattern lightening fighter.
Yes, I agree. I was referring to the tracks only. I was not trying to point anything else out. Please keep building kits.
If you really wanted to to turn this kit into a joke, add a 76mm main gun to the turret, add the side armor plates from a mid- production M4A3, and a hedgerow cutter to the front of the tank. In the immortal words of "The Simpsons" Comic Book Guy, "Worst...Sherman...Model...Kit... Ever."
That is a M1E1 Abrams because the tracks are T156 tracks.
I like where you're going with that idea, but the M1E1 had the concentric sized weighted panels to represent the additional weight the the A1 armor increase would bring, a different shaped bustle rack, and it lacked the future mounting point for the CITV because the M1E1 was built from an M1 taken off the production line.
