In this the second of two episodes we finish the wheelbays, build the nose, and assemble the wings to the fuselage. My Patreon pages are at www.patreon.co...
Sir! Would just like to say how much I really enjoy your channel and builds. I’ve been building models for over 50 years and I my humble opinion I think this is how you should build them. Your calm and concise narration is very engaging without any annoying music and a nice touch with the sounds of the aircraft. Loved the CR 42 build and I am totally absorbed with your Tempest build having just finished episode 3. Many thanks for sharing and keep up the excellent work. Best regards Martin.
Hi Steve, the Tempest is looking fantastic, you certainly have a eye for detailing, I am looking forward to the painting episode, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👍👍👍👍👍
This kit seems to be fighting you every step of the way. I do agree with you about tackling a 'problem' kit every now and then, it keeps your skills sharp looking at a problem and coming up with a solution to fix it. I believe that some modelers today are becoming complacent with all the high tech kits now on the market so going back to a kit that has fit issues will help you in the future. Good work as always.
I can't believe a kit with that many serious flaws in fit could have ever made it into production. Fortunately, your modelling skills are beyond exemplary, and you managed to do this kit some justice. Great work Steve and Happy Modelling. 👍
That was some fantastic work on the surface detail. You’re doing this kit some real justice and I’m picking up a few things that are good to know about this kit, for the build.
Hi Steve, great build series, I built this kit a couple of years ago, I encountered all the problems you have. I take on kits like this as a challenge and overall I enjoyed the build, great job on the radiator intake.👌
Looking amazing! Looks like the modifications are really paying off. Love the build, and am really looking forward to the finish line! As always, greatly anticipating the next update!
Wow! I am watching with bated breath,i have the Revell version of this kit,i have yet to open the kit box, i had the kit for Christmas and didn’t want to scare myself knowing what type of mess you can find on looking at the same kit different company, i have been waiting for a video series just like this to give me hope that it is buildable,well done mate .
Thanks a lot Steve! Every minute of yours videos is really a great school for me, plenty of tricks and teaching of art...In your last video Tempest #3 I saw a fiberglass pencil. How you use and for what? By from Italy!
Prego Stefano. I use the fibreglass pencil to rub away excess adhesive or rough areas. It is very gentle on the plastic and doesn’t scratch the surface. You use it just like a normal pencil. I hope that helps. 👍
Hi Steve , can I say that I really enjoy your presentation approach your technically precise and descriptive, you could easily be presenting a watch making repair channel. My only criticism, what’s happened to the background pheasants and sheep noises? 😂😂😂 great video thanks very much for posting it. 👍👍👍
😂😂I don’t know - the pheasants are around but they’re being quiet for a change. The sheep are grown up now - it’s usually the lambs that make the most noise. They’ll be back making a racket in spring 👍
when are we going to see the Lancaster build , cant wait to see that series , i have the kit on order ( opted to pre order the new dambuster variant ) and waiting to build it alongside you
Hi Steve, I'm not sure if you have tried an alternative to heavy primer surfacer for seams, using thick black carbon CA. It does take a while to cure, best overnight or hot air dry, but it doesn't sink and sands out well without damaging the surounding plastic. Kind regards Dave Porter London

Thank you but there’s a tempting looking Tamiya F16 at the end of the bench - looking forward to that falling together after this one 😃

Thanks very much it’s coming along now.👍
Beautiful work Steve

Thanks Alan it’s sure a battle isn’t it
A thoroughly engrossing watch, Steve. 56 minutes flew by. I am looking forward to seeing that engine being detailed and painted.
Thanks John
Nice work Steve, I love your attention to detail.
Thank you John👍

The finish line feels a way off just now Raleigh - it will turn out eventually I’m sure. Stay tuned

Thanks - I expect the Revell being a Redbox will be just the same. Hope the video series helps. 🤞
Nice work bro
👍
Always liked the Tempest since I built a smaller one as a kid - great model so far Steve 👌
Thanks Martin

Hope so Paul 👍
Thanks. =)

@@TheModelShed thank you Steve. I'm anxiously waiting for the Folgore 202 #1, with the kit on my knee! By!

Is the brief appearance of the Yak-1 a teaser for a new WW2 ace's build?
it is Sean - Lilia Litvyaks a/c. it’s being painted atm
I am looking forward to this one.
when are we going to see the Lancaster build , cant wait to see that series , i have the kit on order ( opted to pre order the new dambuster variant ) and waiting to build it alongside you
End of the year - I’m building a HK Dambuster atm and there’s the Bismarck to finish

I haven’t Dave I’ll look it up.
Great build could you tell me what tweezers you are using please?
Thanks They’re ophthalmic forceps don’t think you can buy them commercially 🤔
@@TheModelShed I screenshot you video and did a reverse image search and I managed to find some
Wonder if soaking the cowl piece in hot water would soften it up
possibly but it’s a risky thing to do 😬
Great video I’m starting my kit this week. What happened to the front lower part of the bulkhead it’s gone
It served its purpose when gluing the fuselage and wings together but it was in the way of getting the nose fit correct
@@TheModelShed ok good info I’m at the point in my build wheel bay and your video is a big help.
