What glue can we use?
@@techtronics591 hi - I normally use Tamiya extra thin cement, cheers.
Nice build. I made one of these not long after it came out.
I have the same kit from Airfix and this video has been very illustrative for when I have time to assemble it.
Hello - I’m glad you enjoyed it and hope it’s helpful.
Really nice work. Quick question. What is the model holder you use for building?
@@psychodermix hi thanks for your comments and dropping in, I believe I got it Bulldog Models about £30, hope that helps cheers Liam
@@ljscalemodels526 Awesome, thanks.
Looks pretty good to me Liam. Great work my friend
@@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite hi Steve, many thanks i hope you’re well?
I was until we lost the footy LOL
Hi Liam the Pazerspahwagen turned out awesome weathering looks spot on to me well done 👏
@@seamybmw cheers seamy
That's a nice build Liam, I think that I overdid the weathering on my Tamiya Cromwell, I used buff paint well thinned but the more I look at it. the more it looks okay. We are learning all the time and learn by making mistakes, next time it will be better, cheers mate.
@@StevenPotts-ij9ue absolutely Steven, thanks for your comments keep working at the hobby cheers Liam
👍👍
It looks great to me.

Nice work lad :)
@@grekies1 cheers buddy
Very nice. Veľmi pekná robota👍👍👍
Looking good Liam unlucky with the PE it can be a real pain in the 🍑 at times 👍
Pretty neat looking build Liam never trust the colour on box art it can be way of but it turned out great 👍
@@seamybmw cheers seamy
Hi LIam, the photoetch looked okay to me and any misshapen parts could be put down to battle damage.
@@StevenPotts-ij9ue cheers Steven for looking in on the video.
Great build, but don't be too trusting of the printed colours on box art and instruction sheets , they can look very different to the real thing 🙂👍
@@johngreen-sk4yk good point John, thanks for dropping in and your comments.
Fun little MiG, and yes they are tail sitters 😅
Cheers Dave for looking in
Nice kit Liam, all the way from Memphis , sorry Honk Kong, I'm a Mott The Hoople fan, I get carried away sometimes! The kit looks great by the way, the included photoetch and the metal turned gun barrel should make this a great build as all the parts are included, cheers, Steve.
Cheers Steven 🤣yeah it’s coming super, thanks for dropping in.
Great kit Liam kind of reminds me of the whippet they used here in 69 lol have fun with the build 👍👍
Yeah the wee whippet the army used - I have 2 in the stash I hope to build soon.
Great pick Liam the halftrack also builds up pretty well but its small 👍👍
Cheers Seamy, just need to think about a bit of weathering.
I wish that Tamiya would re-tool this kit. Very good in its day but now looking a little tired. Enjoyed the video.
Good point Stephen , thanks for looking in cheers Liam
Brilliant result Liam the AK paints are good stuff well done 👏
Cheers seamy
Hi Liam, that's a nice build, the weathering makes it look like a well used aircraft, which indeed it probably would have been, well done.
Cheers Steven - it may have been a bit much but i was happy the way it turned out, thanks for popping in Liam
Nice , I’ve got one to build
Good stuff Paul, I wouldn’t mind doing the Tamiya or Eduard version for a comparison, cheers Liam
Good job Liam, keep em coming.
Cheers Liam for looking in, I’ve subbed ye also 👍🏽🤣
Excellent build Liam camo turned out great good luck getting it back home 👍🏆
Cheers Seamy - yes it was a channelling 🤣
Hi Liam, nice to see you back, the hobby room looks great. You have no excuses now as you can readily get paints and materials now that you are home, lol.
Thanks Steve 🤣
Nice little build my friend. Look like the pinky print on the glass could be one of them happy accidents that work out really well.
Ha ha cheers
Looking pretty good mate😊
Cheers Big C
Sorry Liam. Completely missed this build. Great work on the camo scheme. A lovely build all round my friend
Cheers Steve no worries thanks for dropping in 🤣
Really nice build and paint scheme! I'm glad you kept the vinyl tracks and showed how good they can look with proper painting and weathering. I really HATE plastic tracks....ha ha! Subscribed!
Hi there, thanks for looking in and your sub, subbed ye back 😂 cheers Liam
Great build mate. Paint scheme outstanding.
You should "flop" your video. It feels like up side down.
Thanks Jack for looking in :)
Great looking paint job
Cheers Jack for looking in
Liam , you are a real modeller devoid of fancy music and razz. Your enthusiasm gushes . Are you based in Ireland ?. Thanks man. Dave
Hey David - thank you so much for the very kind words, 🥳🤣🥳👍🏽 I just keep turning up. Yes based in Ireland at the moment cheers Liam
Nice video
Thanks for looking in Paul.
Hi Liam, the cockpit looks great to me. I tried Tamiya aluminium and it wouldn't spray through a 0.3 nozzle, I now have an airbrush with a 0.5 nozzle but haven't tried it yet. Hopefully you will have a better experience with the AK paint, I have not used metallics but their matt camouflage paints are great, cheers.
Many thanks Steven for looking in, yeah looking forward to using the AK 🙏🏽cheers.
Nice progress Liam the fighting Irish all day long 👍👍
Cheers seamy
Must have missed Seamus shout out of your channel. It’s a bit hard to see the end result like this. Can you do some end pictures maybe? Anyhow nice stuff you’re building 💥👍💥
Hi Dave, thanks for looking in, I’ll keep that in mind going forward, cheers Liam
@@ljscalemodels526 awesome Liam! Got ya subbed 💥👍💥
@@DutchDaveModels cheers Dave, let me get ye back
Hi Liam, nice mixing for the interior green, I think that the actual colour is open to interpretation but yours looks pretty good. I have just built a Tamiya Cromwell and bought the Eduard photo etch set to use on it, I think that I used less than 10% of the parts as they are far too small and fiddly to use and would be hardly noticeable if they were used, cheers Liam.
Thanks 👍 Steven for looking in, cheers I was going to use the standard XF-71, but happy how that turned out cheers Liam
First of all Liam big congrats on your retirement no excuses now get to building great little kit i'm working on some 48 scale kits at the minute enjoy the build 👍👍
Cheers seamy - I may only get a few weeks, as they’ve asked me to stay in another role 🥱🤣
@@ljscalemodels526 It's never ending work 😒 lol
Hi Liam. As you have said its a learning curve but still looks good the more you do the better you will get at it there are so many weathering products on the market it's finding the one that works best for you 👍👍
Hi Liam. You have certainly achieved and learnt a lot with this build. Looking forward to seeing your next build. Take care my friend and speak soon
Hi Steve many thanks that’s very kind of you - cheers for popping in.
Hi Liam, I hope that you enjoy your well deserved retirement, that should mean more modelling time! just go with the flow, my current model (Tamiya Cromwell) is taking far longer than I expected, I'm building it as a tribute to the men who fought in the D'Day landings and the subsequent battles. I would like it to be finished before June 6th and to hopefully to make another model of that era.
Hey Steven, many thanks, that was the plan but they’re trying to keep offering another role 🥳. What a wonderful gesture - I’m hoping to do P-51D but I’ve no metallic paints, I’ll build it so far and pick some up. I hope you’re well and thanks for looking in.
Hi, I am Nelson and I'm a video editor, i will like to be your video editor, creating thumbnails and getting your content ready for CZcams. I look forward to your response, Thanks!
I'm with Steve regarding chipping build looks good Liam talk soon 👍👍
Cheers seamy
Sorry Liam, I'm no help, I cant bring myself to weather anything, I know that I will mess it all up.😢
Not at all try it practice makes it perfect
Looks good as new Liam.i stopped doing weathering too much as I screwed it up.
Cheers Paul, sometimes I want to leave them as a clean model but just keep practicing
Hi Liam. Tamiya paints are part acrylic and part enamel and are difficult to chip especially yellow tones. I do two passes of hairspray at arms length so you get a light mist covering. Allow that to dry for 15 minutes and then repeat the process. Once dry then apply a THIN layer of paint. If you do three or four layers of paint then its going to be very difficult to chip. If you apply water as soon as the paint has gone on then you will start to just take the whole lot off. After about 20 minutes when the paint has just dried is a good time to start chipping. I use wire pens or thick stell wool to start the chipping process by breaking the surface paint. Then go over to the brush and carefully start to chip. Be careful though as it is easy for the paint to come off in large chunks. Practice makes perfect so you may want to practice on an old model. Paint thickness is key to a good chipping success story. Good luck my friend
Hi Steve - great instructions I’ll try this the next thanks for looking in.
