We`ve had a Mk XIV treat this week, Rahmi, Dusan, Inner nerd and now Alex too. An absolute embarrassment of riches. Super finish Alex, love the metallic scheme.
Thank you! True. They are great modellers. Its an honor to BE at there SIDE on this one
I know this is an old video. But I really enjoyed it and learned a lot from it.
Love your openness and humour, and you're not a sycophant to the manufacturers of the model kits that you are building or been provided with. Take care and be safe out there.
Excellent video. Great build. And I think your narrative adds greatly to the video. I think you should do it more often.
Good morning my friend. Wow, what a lovely treat to wake up to. I enjoyed every Minute including seeing you eat every crumb of that kit Kat !!! Ha ha . I hope you and your family are well ? Stay safe my friend
That is priceles., by the a very fine model .Airfix has come along way . Thank you.
Thanks a lot, Alex, for this video - you provided a lot of needful tipps for my own build. I got the kit as well and haven't found time yet... but my video will follow soon.
If you want to take part on the group build please do!
Mine arrives tomorrow, Alex........as ever, I'm watching you for guidance.
Superbly done as usual.
I think there is nothing wrong with your pilot figure. Great build and I loved watching your video.
The pilot of that beautiful MK XIV look tired. A lot of missions had been flown .Great work . I used to build models my 1/48 ,1/32 ,and 1/24 scale all companies .
Hello!
Kit Kat: it was in the instructions, you had to do it...
And maybe that is why this lady looks quick! 🙂
I also enjoyed this second model from the group build.
Curious thing Rahmi's "Lazy Lady" was first....
Oh, wait, actually this Quick Lady was first!.... The Lazy Lady came second... It only happened that I watched them the other way around.
Exactly... But. Not competing with anyone you know. 😁
And now that you know it was not first... Whats curious? 🙂
@@AlexModeling
Well, now everything has fallen in its place! 😊
Looking forward to seeing the other models from the group build.
I'm curious to see what the next one will be. 😎
I'm not even at the end Alex, but great job mate, you've done a superb job here and the video itself is first rate! Well done you!
Just take your time! It is a good kit and with a bit of pacience you Will get better results than this. This GB for me its done! :)
I like the ten mile view . Your model stands up to close scrutiny .
The wings don't come clipped because clipped wings were not an inherent characteristic of the Mk XIV, even the FR version. The wing tips on a Spitfire could be changed from clipped to standard, or the reverse, in about 30 minutes. The kit therefor gives the option to be built clipped, as was most common for FR.Mk XIVs, or with standard tips for rarer examples.
Great build, I’m a massive fan of the ‘10 mile rule’ too! 👍🏻
10 Mile rule... Rules
Nice bunch of paints 👍👍
"oh yes!... and I don't regret it!" Awesome!!!
I am learning from your videos . Being retaught in new techniques in modeling . Thank you . Like the music .
Hi Alex. Just finished the video. That cockpit better than mine ;) Keep up the great works.
Hello! No its not. Too kind of you! Cheers and thanks!
The kit-kat looked in better condition out of the box, than some bits of the kit. But I'm sure it was "perfect"
Perfect!😁😁
As always Alex a real stunner of a build, matched with a great video, thanks for sharing.
You're right about the panel lines Alex...I build 1/72 mostly. I stopped buying Airfix kits because of how out of scale their panel lines are. Nice job on it just the same. The cockpit looks great.
Thanks
Thoroughly enjoyed the video Alex. The kitkat is funny as hell. Airfix must have a good sense of humour too. Very nice work mate
Thanks Mark! Imagine 5 Years from now someone gets this kit and........ Have a "roten" break!😂😂😂😂
You have convinced me to buy one as well, lovely build and I love your videos.
Thanks for this great video🔝
I always enjoy watching your videos and they are a great inspiration🔝
The Kit Kat section is pretty funny😁👉🏼I like Sneakers more,but once i started eating one i just can't stop🤣
But that also happenen to me with some Modell Kits,i don't eat them up,no no,but i just can't stop😊However.
Best wishes and regards from Germany to Portugal🍀
✌😎✌
A really super job Alex. The Humbrol metallics did you no favours even with that lovely gloss black primer! Like to see this one again using better paint!
I thought Exactly the same... That metal Shine would BE enhanced
Great build as always Alex and the added challenge of using Humbrol acrylics too.
It was fun to return to it... Did One with the remaining amount of paints again... But ONLY to not out that Paint to waist
Great build Alex
After watching a very negative review /build of this kit . Your video is a breath of fresh air . Your clearly enthusiastic and positive about this kit . you obviously had the skill to apply the wings correctly to the fuselage . Just to say the Mk xiv had both wing versions standard and LF . Johnny Johnson had the standard wing version before the war ended . Probably easier to remove the tip than to put it on if you make the full wing version . Also the fuel tank cover is not fully flush on the real Spitfire ( which rather spoils it's beautiful lines ) I think this is why its been done as a separate part . As if it is moulded you cannot represent the gappy appearance of the real thing . I gather Tamiya has done this on the new MK1 tooling ; perhaps more successfully .
Beautiful build Alex, your model really stands out.
Thank you
Can’t wait for mine to arrive, should come later this week
That’s a lovely looking model.
Fantastic video alex I can only dream of having your modelling skills truly a work of art I will keep watching your videos in a hope to improve my own skills thank you again alex keep smiling 😁
A gorgeous model and lovely video to watch :) Excellent!!
Thank you Michael!
Most Excellent!
Another OUSTANDING build. Really enjoyed this video.
Seu video com narrativa melhorou bastante Alex, gostei de tudo, da edição, da iluminação e da montagem! Voce está muito bem!
Muito obrigado Ulisses.
To be honest,the Airfix sprues still looks like they are from the seventies,the only great kit from them i have built recently are the 1:24 Hellcat and that is GREAT.
Totally agree on that One!! Yes you are absolutly right
@@AlexModeling I am not trying to downtalk Airfix, my fondest memories are from my childhood and Airfix models, they were not expensive and they still are fun to build. 😀
😁😊👍👍👍👍
Brilliant work yet again Alex, can't wait to start this one.
Great building but I think you could plant potatoes in those panel lines;)
Beautiful work Alex. Thank for sharing that with us.
Thank you
Hi Alex. Fantastic job as usual!! Enjoy the day. Ray L
Great work Alex. And thanks for taking the time to explain your work. Already seen other builds yours is rhe best so far. Muchas gracias hermano y seguiremos modelando con una sonrisa
Bravo and a beautiful job. Always learning something new watching your videos. And honestly who can pass up a kit kat.
Have a break! Have a Kit-Kat!.
Great build Alex. That chocolate was thoroughly deserved :)
Thanks:)
Nice job on the silver scheme! I'm thinking of this scheme too as I've already done a Grey/Green scheme on a Mk.XVI. I've yet to even start the build yet though so lots of time to decide lol
Wish you luck for it! You Will enjoy the cockpit its fantástic! Just pay atention to the air intakes. I got the feeling that it doesn t fit like if it wasn t made for this kit. If you could then get back to me and give me your take on this i would apreciate
@@AlexModeling Okay I'll look out for that, looking forward to making a start on the kit, it looks nicely detailed.
@@TheInnerNerd it is indeed!
👍
Outstanding, great job and building tips for this new kit.
👍👍👍
Nice Alex, well done my Friend. 👍✌👏
Awesome man :) I am starting Tamiyas new Spitfire mk1 soon so this is very inspirational! Thanks for your work mate. Your video editing is great
i'll be at work, but will watch replay, Good Luck!
thanks! have a great work!
thanks! have a great work!
Very nice Alex. I have to add this one to my stash.
the pilot looked awesome. until you finished him!
Bravo Alex, fantastic model, obrigado. As always take care from South Africa
Alex modeling new Dimension Video! Very profesional! Good stuff! 👍
Thank you Cap! :)
chocolate is awsome
Very nice 😎
It looks amazing! I hope mine turns out as well as yours ☺️
well done brother. i would have enjoyed the kit kat too.
Imagine someone 5 Years from now gets this kit and..... 5 year old kitkat
Nice One and Thankyou! Cheers
Fun watching your build as always.
Great build, keep up the great work an inspiration to all
Another work of art, Alex. What a excellent job.
Fine work but I think the decals are not correct, on the rudder it should have been with the narrow white line, the same goes with the decal on the fuselage, a yellow outer ring should be there... otherwise a nice build.
Terrific job, Alex......and glad you didn't follow the crowd and build the all metal one....something a little different! As per usual, always, always great to watch your builds!!!!
Humbrol makes acrylic now!
Sorry Alex, but the ten mile rule is just a cop out! The better you pa int a figure, the better it I.s going to look, at ANY distance!
First, forget the blue tack on a cocktail stick, drill a hole under the pilot's bum, insert a long paperclip wire, cut off so you can stick it into either a bottle cork or a pin vice, and use that to hold your pilot!
You've done a great job over the model, why put in all that effort over everything else only to scimp on the guy at the controls? 😊
Good to see you building an 1/48 scale airplane model again!. How Airfix decal fix worked?. Greetings!
That's why you don't decant paints for models unless it model car builders that's there thing! Not armor use AK xtreme metal the bright Alloy and the black base! Was that a gloss blue you used for the uniform? If it was matt it would have looked better there face was normally mucky anyway lol
Nice Spitfire, looks awesome!
Could you once again make a video about a submarine (for example Revell type IX) 1/72?
Provided you would like
Tempting
AlexModeling sounds good
Great job on the plane
Great work Alex as always.
Another nice one Alex.. But damn it man, warn me if you do another Kit Kat build so I can be ready. Now I have to run out again. lol
some Mk14s had full wingtips but most where clipped
Another great video mate! 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻
Wait for the new G force kit you have to add your own extra 2 machine guns as kit only comes with 2! Pretty sloppy for Airfix!
タミヤやハセガワは美しい図面を見るようだ。
エアフィックスは美しい絵画を見るようだと思う。
👍👌🍫
Looks great brother 👍
Hello Brother! Thank you!
This is amazing!! The detail is incredible 😊you earned a new subscriber 😊
Great video, really helps for those of us just starting. I'm preparing to build my first kit, and I think I'm going to start with either a Spitfire or a P51-D Mustang. Do you recommend any specific kits for a new builder? I'm older, and have tools and airbrush. I think it best to start off with maybe an easier kit that still has some nice detail and good fit. I'd be grateful for any recommendations. It seems there are so many kits and brands to choose from.
Also, what scale would be best for a new builder? I'd like something big enough to have good details, but small enough that it's easier to handle. My initial thought was 1:48 scale. What are your thoughts?
Choose either a tamiya kit or an airfix new tooled one
Yeah - Thanks, that is in line with my thinking, your confirmation is appreciated. Would you think that 1:48 is a good scale? I fear that 1:72 might get too frustrating with the tiny parts and detail painting.
@@silentstormstudios 1/48 kits can get kinda expensive, especially if its tamiya or airfix, but the tamiya 1/48 a6m3 is at a decent price and fits together pretty good
Yeah - It looks like 1:48 scale kits can be had for $20-$30, which I’m ok with if it’s a good kit. I can get a Tamiya, Airfix or even and Eduard weekend kit in that range. I’ll be taking my tine with it, and there’s so many resources online to learn how to do things right that I’m not too concerned about completely messing it up.
Nice one Alex, super looking model! Have a great weekend! Cheers : )
Nice job
Outstanding work Alex!
Long time no seeing Alex
Great to see you back
Bom trabalho sem duvida
Great work🏆
I wish i knew about it to join you guys....I am jealous 😁
Keep up the good work mate.
"foste tu que fizeste" :p
Fui sim senhora! Tens pago os teus impostos? Cuidado nas rotundas!😂😂😂
nice build and kit but Airfix wasted a golden opportunity to make this beast of a Spitfire in 1/24 scale, such a shame as there are no larger scale low back XIV's out there
Nice Work Alex, enjoyed the video and the model
Superb building !!!😉👍
Great cockpit detail, but i don't understand why all the companies they don't put at least decal seat belts to their models...🤔
Another great job!
Loved the build! Might buy one for myself :). Eat with your mouth closed!
I was rating mouth Open on purpose but thanks for the lesson
@@AlexModeling I see :) sorry if my comment came across as a bit judgey!
sigue asi, me encantan tus videos
Yes. Oh yes. LOL. Another masterpiece my friend.
You forgot painting the Camera hatches on the fuselage, I fear.
Le Trepidant you are right, I do think that he forgot to do it.
was kitkat included xD
Yes!
AlexModeling Wow!, Also that was a nice build👍🏻.
