Hola comrades. This is CZcams's "kitfluencer" Of Models & Monsters. I am a makeup artist/scale model connoisseur from Toronto. I have been building models since I was 12 and I haven't really started getting good at it till recently. I specialize mainly in military aircraft from The Great War to World War 2 but occasionally dabble in other mediums. I would love to hear from viewers if they feel there's certain areas I could improve, or just a nice comment never hurts anyone. Thanks for watching.
Let's Craft Episode 15 Hasegawa 1/48 Nakajima Ki-43-II Hayabusa w/Kimono Pinup Girl
To close out 2023, your Kitfluencer takes on Hasegawa's 1/48 scale Ki-43 Oscar. In this build I will show you how to paint that splotchy Japanese Army Air Force camouflage over bare metal and as a bonus, I have included a scale appropriate Kimono pinup girl to pose with it. If that doesn't get your attention, I don't know what will.

Let's Craft Episode 1 Eduard 1/48 Spitfire Story "The Few"
zhlédnutí 3,4KPřed 3 lety
Bienvendio al episodio premero de "Let's Craft" (hope my spanish was correct). I have been scale modelling for years and here is my first attempt at filming one of my builds. My first subject is my second favorite plane of all time, The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I by Eduard in 1/48 scale. If you have any comments, criticisms or memes, please feel free to leave them down below. Muchas gracias. Mus...
Turned out well but i cant be bothered with all the messing around. I build to relax not get stressed with poor quality fitment.
So I was just made aware that the Spitfire actually had wooden propeller blades. All these years thinking I knew everything about it, I didn't. So before anyone else corrects me, I am now aware that I made a mistake with the chipping and if I build anymore Spitfires, I will rectify that flub.
The orange baron
Really looked forward to watching this. You're clearly a very skilled modeller. But.......... I had to give up on the video after 10 mins. The racket in the background just proved too much for me.
Nice work!
¡Gracias!
It looks great, but for a lesser mortal like me, it's rather intimidating. Having said that, I'd like to give it a go. 😊❤😊
We're all equal here, mi amigo. Go for it, I believe in you.
Il costo della scatola e Altalenante.. Per negozio 29:28 . 😢
Sorry with what I am going to write: I am not seeing a bad kit. I am seeing a builder that make medium effort to make good finished kit with what he has on hands. One evident issue: the bad decals aplication effort.
Superb sir. This kit flew into my hangar today 8/5/24 so this excellent video is dead handy! Especially the rigging part. Regards from England. Happy to subscribe.
Gracias señor.
Airfix have upped their game with new releases I see you did a good job will get one once ave finished what's in my stash
And thus continues the cycle of adding to never ending collection 😄 Thank you señor.
ITS NAME IS 隼 隼=FALCON
I bought this model Was crap, massive gaps, parts didn't fit, Stomped on it , threw in the bin
Can't say I blame you, but I never give up on a model, no matter how awful it is.
congratulation for the model! Looks very detailed, great job! Can you please tel me what material you have used as wire? Thanks!
I used EZ Line fine black rigging.
I wish I had seen your build before I bought this kit. Not sure I even want to attempt it now. You made it look great, but I don't think I could pull it off. Thanks for the video. It is a testament to your skill!
Really cool paint job.
Thank you.
Wow it looks amazing
Even if this is a bad Kit, you made the best out of it!
Miss the swastikas tough!
I appreciate it, thank you.
I so want to build one of these but my skill level is beginner..I can only dream of making one of this standard
So glad you're into our hobby. The great thing about Tamiya kits though is that you rarely ever have fit issues and there usually aren't too many parts, so they're great for beginners. Just keep at it, do your research, and have fun.
What do you use as antenna filament ?
I'll either cut pieces of very thin aluminum tubing and slip the wire through or just glob on some microscale kristal klear.
I went with the after market PE harness. I had the same gap issues with the front of the fuselage
Yeah PE belts will always look best, and I find with any kit that has a ton of interior details, no matter how careful you are, there will always be a gap of some sort when you seal the fuselage halves.
I am currently building this kit. No issues, nice fit and of course great detail.
Quale prezzo ha la scatola.. Hanno un prrzz
Great job!!
By far my favorite builder !
Thank you so much Dan.
omg !!!!!!!!!!!!! absolutley stunning !!!! and that even does'nt cut it !!!!!
能不能製作中文字幕，謝謝您。
Your results are great considering what you had to work with! I bought both versions of the Ho229 when they were released by Dragon. They remain in my stash, and I will likely build the Zoukei Mura versions before I attempt the ones from Dragon.
Just got it for Christmas, looks good, thanks for tips very ,nice finish, Gibraltar 🇬🇮
Genial!
Happy new year 2024 best wishes & predictions.
Very nice Japanese aircraft of models & monsters aircraft from Japan.
Muchas gracias.
Are you thinning your Model Air? If so, ratio, and with water or Vallejo Thinning Medium? Apols if you showed it and I missed it. Airbrush brand and nozzle diam? (.3mm?) Pressure with Vallejo?? Love your geisha. Such a shame Hasegawa don't include a pilot figurine with their 1/48 kits. Fortunately, ModelKasten to the rescue. No Special Attack Unit decal options in this Ki-43 kit unfortunately otherwise I'd do a mini diorama with the school girl figurines traditional wave off farewell. Enjoyed the vid.
Sometimes I thin model air with airbrush thinner and I only add one or two drops. As for the airbrush I've been having issues lately so I've used everything from a Paasche Raptor to a Grex TG3.
@@ofmodelsandmonsters Oki doke. Thanks. Was just trying to get a handle on correlating the performance I observed to specs.
Looks cool. 🛩
You did a very nice build here! The weathering is just right and not overdone! This is a fabulous kit Airfix did and I'll be building mine soon!
Gracias. Go for it!
Heheh jboobs.
That was excellent work my friend, and a different twist with the pin-up girl, very bext wishes for a Happy New Year, best reagrds from Australia
Thank you, glad you liked it.
"PromoSM" 😔
Beautiful work mate cheers
Gracias.
Oh wow. Subscribed. This video is exactly what I needed to see and I am going to refer to this video very often. Thank you for posting this. I’m very much looking forward to learning a lot here.
Okay dude, you mashed up “Hot For Teacher” by Van Halen and “Shattered” by Pantera in just the first two minutes alone, and I happen to be working on this exact model now, so you have got my full attention! I shall proceed with the lesson now, as I am stumped on two triangular pieces that look pointless.
I enjoyed the build but honestly I could live without the music.
Nice model. What brand of paint and color or colors did you use on nose and engine ? It doesn’t look like olive drab.
It's Vallejo Model Air N41 Dark Olive Drab, and I agree it doesn't quite look like normal olive drab. Next time I might add a little dark brown.
Great video. Have you built the Academy Dauntless also?
I have the kit but haven't built it yet.
If you only use the colors from the kid will the f 14 lock like the cover or do i ned extra paint
Revell kits call out their own brand of paint, but I use mostly Vallejo paints, so I used the paints that I felt matched the cover paint scheme the closest.
Cann you play wit it?
It's not recommended, but you can if you're careful.
Whooo just ordered this kit from Spru Brothers! Great timing for me to find your builds.
Have fun.
thats very nice, a nice tip dont use putty to cover any holes just use resin and cure it it will dry in seconds and you can clean it very quick and to make it invisible !
Thanks for the tip.
Nice interior detail with instrument panel and machine guns. I noticed you forgot to finish the landing gear seam. Totally ruined the model... Really? Its like you put them on as an after thought. Sorry, tell me I'm wrong...
The photo references I used had that seam on the gear covers.
I’m wanting to get into scale modelling how do you know so much detail about the plane for instance all the different colour layers?
I get my colors either from the instruction callouts or through photo references.
Can you hide the wheels?
Of course, as long as you have a stand or you're hanging it from the ceiling.
For those interested in the Battle of Midway, this aircraft had a rather sad end. Capt. Fleming and his crew were killed in an attack on the Japanese heavy cruiser _Mikuma,_ an action for which he was awarded the Medal of Honour. Anyone who wants to search for it can find a picture of the burning hulk of _Mikuma_ shortly before she sank. On top of the number 3 turret the wreckage of Capt. Fleming's aircraft can be seen. I have never been able to reliably ascertain whether Capt. Fleming was hit by flak or deliberately crashed into the Mikuma. Witnesses report that his bomb was dropped from very low altitude and narrowly missed. Some say he crashed into the sea while others say he crashed on top of the turret.
That story was debunked years ago. The debris on the turret was just parts of Mikumas superstructure, not Flemings a/c wreckage.
@@paulmiller9384 Debunked? I’m not trying to mislead anyone. True or not, it appears in a number of publications. I have certainly read alternative versions, one of which says he crashed into the sea. I’m not sure what it says on his MoH citation and don’t especially care if it doesn’t align.
The old Vought Vibrator.
Ha ha, I wish I had called it that in the video.
@@ofmodelsandmonsters That was an authentic nickname. apparently.
