i need to buy some - it's not something I use on a daily basis (i have other oral products) Edit: I pinned this comment because I had a couple of comments already saying "use a toothpick" 1. yes, i know toothpicks work well 2. It would be a great idea to use them 3. I dont have any 4. I didnt have any when i made this video 5. I will get some ..... Eventually Stop going on about toothpicks . . . . . ( I get it)
Just a tip. If you want to gain even more realistic chipping effect you Can airbrush the areas you want to chip with a metallic colour. Then you airbrush some chipping solution forexample vallejo chipping medium, and then paint the Camo scheme over it. When you want to apply the chipping you just take a wet toothpick and scratch the areas. Nice video 👍
Im sort of curious... as I see a lot of overdone 'chipping' - would a bit of the latex based masking solution carefully used work instead of more expensive chipping solutions?
It is an impressive model to be 1:72, at first I said 1:48 !!!, but the work done on it makes it even more, excellent congratulations and thanks for being part of this, which for me is a learning curve .
I am new to this hobby..... I have a problem with small bits and pieces. .... finger problem.... can you recommend another spitfire model in bigger scale.... thank's for your videos.... they are therapeutic to watch 😊
I've got the airfix 1/24 spitfire to build, it looks ok but is an old tooling so not the best fit or detail. Their 1/48 offerings are more recently tooled and have reasonable detail, but again, i'm sure that anything in the 1/48 scale range from eduard will be considerably better detailed
really loved this video and its certainly up there with the Typhoon as your best! Its a really great experience building your first kit from a different model brand
Sad that I missed the stream. Got some covid problems over here.... Anyways, great video, surely your best build yet, and your channel is growing fast! Stay safe and thank for another great piece of content.
Great build, best I have seen you do and I love the weathering! Your enthusiasm at the unboxing has resulted in me ordering from Edouard and yup they are great value and their shipping from Europe is good. Not arrived yet so I shall see…… Most folk I have seen using sups glue do a drop on some cardboard and then a cut to a point piece of box card to apply. Thanks Bob England
This is the first video of yours that I have watched, and I am very impressed. First, I didn't realize at first that this was a 1/72nd scale model. The detail and quality of the build is outstanding for such a small scale. Second, the detail of your build description, videography, etc. is also outstanding. Finally, I loved the inclusion of the history. Again, I am very impressed. Cheers, from the US.
I don't remeber wich youtuber that recomended this or even what the product was called but there is some product that is basically a stick with some sticky stuff used to move tiny parts for jewlery. In his video it looked like it worked quite well to move small model parts. Not sure if he tried it on pe tho. Edit I found it and the youtuber is called Barbatos Rex, the video was called "scale model tips - tools & supplies to make model building easier" he sowed it at about 42 minutes into the video. And he called it a part picker.
Welcome to Eduard (or rather a belated welcome as you produced this video a while back)! These are my favorite 1/48 scale kits and I have a coupe of 1/72 as well, even though PEP in that scale are a major challenge for my modest skills. You did a superb job on your first Eduard build. Hope to see more, and may I suggest considering some of their WWI kits? Cheers.
@@georgejones8481 Everything fits as it should, so no, not really. Perhaps more detail than can be seen in the finished model, but some people really love their detailed cockpits
Very nice build, you also mensioned that you like building more rare/forgotten planes. Therefore I made a small list of the rarest planes I know of. Dh 90 dragonfly (trp3) only one swedish one was made but good luck finding a kit for that. Saab 210 lilldraken also only 1 was made because it was a prototype. Saab 201/202, a saab safir with different wings for testning. Only one was made. FFVS J22, 198 were made but most people still have never heard of them (except for warthunder players.) Saab 18, 245 were made but they seem to not be as well documented as most aircraft and there is only one survining example and that one was pulled from the bottom of a lake. P1/S1a sparmamn also known as sparmannjagaren, 11 were made.
@@ModelMinutes yeah of course you dont heart all of them, only the one you like but it is nice that you do it and especially respond. It shows that you are interested in what we have to say. I have seen many youtubers that heart and respond like once a year wich is not so nice because then you dont know if they even read comments.
11:57 Watching that extra-runny cement effortlessly seep into that gap under the canopy caused entirely unreasonable excitement here! Oh how I wish I'd had that available to me in 1973! Magic!
This kit did go together beautifully. I don't know how I would handle such small photo-etched bits but they do make a world of a difference to the finished product. Interesting historical background to the aircraft depicted as well.
Wow that spitfire looks awesome! Great video, it has inspired me to finish my Airfix phantom that I started a few months ago. I definitely have to try an eduard kit now!
@@ModelMinutes when you did your unboxing on this one I was taking a Tamiya 1:48 Spitfire Mk1a to build... your kit has all the same parts at the smaller scale and possibly more detail in the box than my 'big one'. You must have a steady hand - hats off!
Very nice build. Unfortunately the days of me being able to build 1/72 (and im thinking 1/48 also) are over and I will just have to settle on viewing well done kits on a big screen. Keep up the good work. Stu NZ
Nice build. One thing you may want to try is using OVA instead of super glue for the photoetch dash. When the excess squeezes out and dries, because it dries clear it looks like instrument glass.
This is a really neat kit 👌lots to choose from. Another great build, always interesting. This kit is for experienced modelers with all of the little things to build on this aircraft. Getting one might be on the cards here thank you for the heads up🤗
Its your best model! Great kit. The eduard models always have very good detail i made a mig 15 and 21 by eduard i didnt finished the 15 but the 21 its one of my favorite you should try it.
Nice work Matt! Looks nice and neat! Well done! As for Eduard, every new kit is great as this one, but watch out for older Eduard kits, as they are short run, thus not easy to build (sometimes it's closer to a catastrophe). In 1:72 scale you can't see lot of details, so I warmly suggest, if you want to use photo etch details, to try some 1:48 kits. It is more rewarding when you can see actual extra details. They offer some good range of Bf-109 models and Mig-21s in that scale. Also Eduard 1:48 Hellcsts, and Spitfires are excellent! It is the same thing as this Spit, but bigger.... Trust me, you won't be disappointed! Bf-109E kit in 1:48 even offers you an excellent representation of DB601 engine to be seen opened! The price is not significantly bigger then 1:72 scale!
If you want to try something a bit different, the Eduard 1/72 Fokker D.VII is brilliant. What’s more, even though it’s a biplane, it does not require rigging. Suggestions for other 1/72 Eduard kits to build would be the MiG-21PF or MF, the F6F Hellcat, the MiG-15, or the Fw 190.
If you like this kit, i reccomend Z-37A Čmelák (1:72) - 7097 also from eduard, there is olny one issue with interrior photo etched parts and paint, otherwise really great kit
Great video mate! Also I think it is cool you teamed up with Ed Nash from Military Matters to make a video! What will be next, a video with Mark Felton?! LOL!
I really enjoyed this video, especially because of the longer footage you uploaded. You should give 1:48 scale another try (Eduard's Bf 109Gs/Fw 190As). Now that you own an airbrush, mottling a Bf 109 or Fw 190 will be much easier!
Great video, really nice to see your skills evolving over the time! I would love to see a german warbird for a change, Eduard does have a great selection of Bf 109s and Fw 190s
Eduard's Spits are the best from the best. Sure, we have some other great kits on the market: Tamiya or Airfix Mk I & V, Kovozavody's kits are nice too, but they are a short run releases, so you expect some issues on assembly. Sword's XIVs are impressive too, but none of them can match the amazing engineering of Eduard kits with all the riveting
Your builds keep looking better, maybe for the next one, a little more attention to the seams? They seem pretty rough in most builds. Keep up the great vids though :)
@@ModelMinutes I geuss thats true, even so, seams are the most difficult part for me aswell. But seeing as your audiance is mostly purely digital, and seeing the model through close up photography almost exclusively, it might be good to cater the build towards that. Like I know some instagram modelers do. Don't see it as a harsh judgement I still really enjoy your builds and videos :) good on ya.
@@Dutchglorkgames I have been devoting more time to seams in more recent builds, so always taking on board the suggestions from the community. Compare this to my first builds on the channel and I’d hope you saw a marked improvement
I am in the middle of an eduard mk8 and been wondering where in the process the wing lights go in. guess I have to try and cut them down and cram them into the wing from the outside. The decals are very thin experiment on spare parts if useing homebrew decal set. I completely melted the instrument decal.
If you go to a hardware shop, you can get a packer of small single use plastic tubes of superglue so that if the nozzle gets blocked up you just use another small tube! 😊
I have to agree with your statement Matt this is your best work yet! The detail on Eduard kits is always stunning, but I was shocked to see pop rivet detail on a 1/72 scale engine cowling. That alone makes this a must have. Also I loved the collaboration with Ed Nash's Military Matters. I have seen a few of his videos & was shock to see him appear in your video! Hope he will get a bit more traction from your viewers. If anyone enjoyed his segment, or is a fan of channels like Mark Felton Productions; please subscribe to his channel. When it comes to historical CZcams channels, CZcams likes to well mess around with their reach in the algorithm. Anyway great video Matt!
I must say i own like 30 eduard kits and they are CHEAP well atleast here in Czech republic where you can get 1/72 profipack from 10-15 pounds and 1/48 from 15 up to 30 pounds for profipack
Hi do u think airfix should make more Japanese stuff like tanks and more planes. Because they only do on there website is the green Mitsubishi a6m2 And nice model American spitfire
Thanks! Airfix used to have a fair selection of japanese models in their range, but they are more on the legacy side. Of course, there are other companies out there who have other models
It's metal (usually brass) sheets which have been exposed to UV light in specific ways (using various chemicals) then dipped in acid. The acid etches (or eats away) the areas that were exposed to light whilst leaving the protected areas intact. This method of making components is great for scale modellers as it allows really finely detailed parts to be created. If you look at my unboxing video on this model you will see a close up of the photo etch parts
Hi Matt! I’ve recently got into building! But I’m really struggling on what brushes to use especially ones for the tiny parts! Could you recommend me any please :)
@@EindbaasToad yup, same. Are the paints properly mixed before using them? Have you polished the airbrush needle? Any other fault with airbrush - does straight up water go through it without problems? Could lead to an underlying problem
You don't need to buy a special '"moddelers super glue" (way to expensive). Instead use a cocktailstick or toothpick to dab a tiny amount of glue in places you need it.
Why not just use a toothpick to apply the super glue? :)
i need to buy some - it's not something I use on a daily basis (i have other oral products)

@@Simon_Nonymous it could maybe work but it Can end so it Will peal all the paint. You Can indstead use some cheap hairspray, which also works.

@matt's Second Channel
You sound a lot like model minutes, for some reason {-:
@@alfepalfe haha!
Man! Great video! I'm still trying my best to become mod worthy...sir!
:D
Hi do u think airfix should make more Japanese stuff like tanks and more planes. Because they only do on there website is the green Mitsubishi a6m2
And nice model American spitfire
Thanks! Airfix used to have a fair selection of japanese models in their range, but they are more on the legacy side. Of course, there are other companies out there who have other models
Nice work! I think Eduard has overtaken Tamiya as my personal favorite brand to build.
They are fantastic!
Matt have you built a Dakota and willys jeep kit and a b-17 and a baufighter
Just wondering
I’ve built a Willys jeep (video on my channel somewhere) and have the others in the stash
i use a cocktail stick for the cyano glue matt bit easier
yeah i'll use that the next time i do PE :D
Finally a new vid i was waiting for long i wish i could do more than subbing but i do not make money so i can not support you on patreon
Simply watching and sharing is good enough! :D Thanks
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is "Photo Etch"?
It's metal (usually brass) sheets which have been exposed to UV light in specific ways (using various chemicals) then dipped in acid. The acid etches (or eats away) the areas that were exposed to light whilst leaving the protected areas intact. This method of making components is great for scale modellers as it allows really finely detailed parts to be created. If you look at my unboxing video on this model you will see a close up of the photo etch parts
Hi Matt! I’ve recently got into building! But I’m really struggling on what brushes to use especially ones for the tiny parts! Could you recommend me any please :)
take a look at my amazon links - i'm pretty sure i've got some brushes listed on there
@@ModelMinutes just took a look, there’s no brushes :( , found the decal solution i’ve been looking for though! thanks :)
@@ezjoe9454 I use something like this smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B074Z7SX2S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_JX14N3ZQNQP2YG28KBVJ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Guess who’s back?
Back again?
The real slim shady?
Do you thin the airbrush ready paints any further? I believe i have the same airbrush as you and i'm struggling to get them through my airbrush.
Nope, straight from the bottle. I don’t seem to have any issues, perhaps there is a blockage in your nozzle?
@@ModelMinutes Hmmm, Maybe i have a different airbrush. Whats your nozzle size? Mine's 0,3 mm.
@@EindbaasToad yup, same. Are the paints properly mixed before using them? Have you polished the airbrush needle? Any other fault with airbrush - does straight up water go through it without problems? Could lead to an underlying problem
@@ModelMinutes Yes, Yes, Not that I know off, yes.
Its not that i can't use them, I have to thin them with a few drops of water.
@@EindbaasToad hmmm, not sure 🤷♂️
You don't need to buy a special '"moddelers super glue" (way to expensive). Instead use a cocktailstick or toothpick to dab a tiny amount of glue in places you need it.
yes, that's true - still need to get some cocktail sticks though haha!
@@ModelMinutes toothpicks can also be quite useful for adding tiny amounts of liquids and they also work as stir sticks.
Sharpened bit of sprue also works if you don’t have any toothpicks
The fit issue with the wings is not something specific to this model. I have done 2 spitfires, and both have had the same issue
Hmm, thanks for the info
