Max, I watch many a building video from different CZcamsrs, and I must say that your videos are by far the most detailed, informative and entertaining. Keep up the great work sir!👍🏼
Just saw the last part of the video. Not going to lie, I teared up at the picture of the empty rock. Blessings to you my friend
Hi Gav, thanks for the very fine note. I'm very proud of my kids and it's important for me to share their pictures at least. I hope I'm not making anyone too unhappy.
Brutus was a good boy and still is wherever our beloved furry companions go when they cross over The Rainbow Bridge. I feel your loss. My cat Lolo Jones just went over the bridge herself. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, sorry for your loss. My sincere sympathies.
@@MaxAfterburner They are part of our families.
Excellent build video, with great hints and tips! Hugely impressed by the care and attention you pay to masking. The finished kit is absolutely beautiful!
Hi harjindersokhi9852, thanks so very much, I'm glad you liked the final outcome! 😃
Dogs are like shootings stars, they bring immeasurable smiles and joys to their owners, but fade out too quickly, leaving us with fond, but bittersweet memories. I hope time (and more canine companions) dulls the pain to leave you with sweet memories. I look forward to your next build, and am always grateful for how much you go out of your way to make them entertaining, instructional and interesting. On a last note, I think you have graduated from “amateur” model builder a LOOOOOOOOONG time ago! 😊
Hey Tex, those are wonderful sentiments about our doggie family members, thanks for posting them.
The videos are getting more "complicated" with all the different parts, but I'm happy to hear that it's entertaining the viewers. 👍😃
This is the perfect "Building video" for me, thanks!
Hi Triplegix, glad to hear it! Thanks for the comment 😀
My deepest condolences on the loss of your boy. Thanks for the F-35C video.
Hi Rob W, I appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed the F-35C video, it was a long and arduous road 😵
Truly incredible work!!! Very informative video and great details on the model!!!
Hi jessewatkins1338, thanks so much, happy you liked this F-35C presentation! 🤩
Glad to see your still around. Im a big 1/32 guy, I have a f-100 i build on my desk
Hi Scott K, it's a great scale, but a lot of work! 😉
Watched this video many times as it is my favourite of M_A or for that matter any build video on line that I have seen since getting back into the hobby in 2018. Thanks Tom. Your incomparable production has inspired me to learn video editing.
Hi SEMJW, thanks so very much. I was particularly happy with how the editing for the intro went myself. ✈️😎
To date, I do only reveal videos with the last two with a free online editor, a bare metal, 1/18, FW190 and a 1/24, P-47 in the markings of the recently restored Razorback by AirCorps Aviation. As much as I liked watching a well made video before, the appreciation is compounded when working to edit my own. @@MaxAfterburner
epic build, Good job!
Thanks, Signar ⚡⚡
Amazing. Incredible.
Hi j6077xxd, thanks! It's not been all that much of a popular video for this channel, but thanks for watching! 😎
LOVE the split-screen views! All-in-all just what I was looking for in an OOB build of the "C". Cheers!!
Hi pastorrich7436, lots of information to pack in a "short" video! Thanks for watching 😃
A stellar job Mr Afterburner. I usually don't enjoy watching these modern stealthy aircraft builds as they all have the same sort of finish but I just got lost in the enjoyment watching you go above and beyond. I have learned a lot from your videos. Thankyou
Hi Jelly-B, this video build isn't getting too much viewership traffic 🤔, so I'm glad you liked it and thanks for watching!
What a great finish to an amazing model!
Hi Hugo, thanks for the generous comments 🤩
I must say this is a great video just getting back in to modelling aircraft and find this video detailed and easy to watch I will follow with great interest
Hi normanstrath6636, glad you enjoyed it and I hope it helps inspire your own builds. Best wishes for great fun 😊
Loved the build. The tribute to Brutus was very touching. There's a big hole left when they leave.
Hi 351xb1973 , thank you for the kind note.
Lovely to see you back Tom with a fabulous build. Glad you overcame your struggles to produce this video. Beautiful finish on the paint job. Not bad for an amateur! 😂 (Also appreciate the Aussie air traffic control dialogue)
Hi Stephen, got the video done earlier than I thought I would. The extra hours I had been pre-editing helped when the F-35C was actually done. It's not a perfect model, but it's much, much better than where I thought I was going to end up.
P.S. I cracked the box open earlier today. More parts than the Lightning II, but looks like fun 😇
Masterful build sir, sorry for your loss.
Hi martinthwaites2432 , thanks for the comments 🙂
thank you for the video!. Very well explained
Hi SP-bf3ld, glad you enjoyed it! 😁
I'm sorry about your loss. I too have felt sad about losing loved ones. But watching your wonderful video and the resulting beautiful F-35 I felt better. Thank you.
Hi mlem567, thank you, glad you liked the F-35 video build 🙂
I'm really sorry for your loss. Dogs are a huge part of a family...heck they are family! I'm glad to see you putting out vids again.
Thanks for the sentiments, wadefarris308. Dogs are amazing 🙂
That is great work 👍
Hey there heathstephenson3863, thanks! I'm glad you liked this F-35C JSF 😃
@MaxAfterburner
And to be honest Max i dis not really like the the aircraft at first when brought out on the production line.
Thought it was the most ugliest aircraft that the us military brought out.
But as time went by.
The i saw it the more it grew on me.
Just hope the the military decides to keep the AV.8B as a back up.
GORGEOUS build!!!😍😍👍👍
Hello aattc1, thank you kindly 🤩
The kit came out great. Very sorry to hear about your dogs.
Hi Eric, thanks for the kind comments 🙂
Perfect build 👍👍👍
Hey Darth Hokum, thanks for the very gracious note! 🤩
A really enjoyable watch of a great build. I may steal your grey mixes for some way off in the future builds. I did notice one small error at about 3:17 where you mention other buyers, you have in the banner F 35C where as I suspect you meant just F 35 as other operators have the A & B variants. 😄.
Hi kiwiruna, yeah, whoopsie. Damn 😌. That's probably why a handful of viewers have just unsubscribed already 🤣. Glad you enjoyed the build and thanks for watching! 😊
That’s my wife’s first squadron, back when it was VF-101 (“no bloody A, B, C, or D!” Who knows where that came from?) and flew the greatest fighter of all time, the amazing and wonderful F-14 Tomcat. She then served in VF-32 while I was a Pukin Dog with VF-143.
I miss those ladies (the Tomcats).
Hi LTCDRRAZOR, the Tomcat is sorely missed by so many and remains a popular subject to this day. 😎
@@MaxAfterburner ANYTIME BABY!!!
It was a long time coming but so worth the wait....such an amazing build and video. Love the work and how you present it to us. So sorry to hear about Brutus and feel for you and his loss. Recently said goodbye to our mother cat, Thana.....eighteen years old but is sorely missed by us and her offspring Beau and Yip...aged seventeen. At least we have them for a little longer.
Hi robbo1068, thanks and sorry about Thana.
good to see you back brother!
Hi Marcus, glad to be back and read all these nice comments! 😇
My deepest condolences to the loss of your fur baby. You are an amazing modeler, and we all have off periods, especially with the loss of someone we love. Keep up the amazing work and a big hug from a fellow ramp rat (I worked on Strike Eagles out of Seymour Johnson). Chin up and carry on, Airman..
Hi christinabishop2533, thanks for your service and kind words about the doggies. When I was in initial electronics and avionics training at Lowry AFB in Colorado (we were the 2nd to last group to go through before the base was closed) all of us USAF and Air National Guard F-16 and F-15 people in training hung out as a huge group and had SO much fun together. I still remember it as one of the very best times I ever had in my life. I recall a couple of friends that were F-15 avionics that were going to be starting out at Seymour Johnson back then. By any chance did you know Libby Jones and Jason Olhauser? (might be spelling that wrong, it’s been awhile)
@@MaxAfterburner can't say I recognize either name, but they could have been in a different squadron. I bet being at that altitude made working interesting for a bit, with the thinner air.
I’m sorry for your loss. It is good to see you back and building, and especially enjoyed the little movie clips throughout the build. I wish you all the best, and look forward to seeing the next build. Take care.
Hi Ken, I'm glad viewers are enjoying the clips. It can be hard to find the right thing, but it's been fun creatively to include them. Thanks for watching! 😃
Glad to see you pop up again. A tasteful build of a jet that is tough to make interesting. Excited for the next one
Hi Thucy, thanks kindly! I don't think the next episode will take as long, but I don't want to jinx it. 😉
R.I.P. Brutus! A good dog (Child) is loved by all!
Hi PCJ3 40, Brutus was so good natured, he didn't have a mean bone in his body 😢. Dogs rule. Thanks 🙂
@@MaxAfterburner I feel your loss! He looks like a sweetheart. I'm sure he had a happy life and wouldn't have ever wanted to be with anyone else. God bless!
I’m so sorry to hear about the pain. Been there, and nothing worse. Great to see another build. Last time I checked, you had 16k subscribers. Wow. Btw, your build videos are the most useful of all the build videos I follow.
Hi 4629dt, thanks, glad to hear that viewers out there find things helpful in some ways for their own builds.
That nickname “battle penguin” seems more appropriate for the A and B models with their shorter wingspan.
🐧
Great job on the build and attention to detail.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching, davepriddy9263 ! 😊
not an easy aircraft to build I think.Amazing job!
A big one! Thanks 😁
Max, absolutely gorgeous build. And my condolences for your loss. I love the f-35c out of all three. Hopefully a1/72 kit will come out soon.
Hi wotenmituns14, happy you enjoyed it. I bet many plastic kit companies are quickly working on a 1/72 scale F-35 out there somewhere given the interest in this fighter jet 😃. Thanks for your thoughts on the recent losses of Brutus, Sophie and Mooch.
Awesome job 🙌
Hi kevinmartins5588, thank you so much! 😄
@@MaxAfterburner question for you,what are your thoughts on iwata hpcs?
Lovely work bro
Hey nigelsmith7366, thanks so much! 😊
I am going to echo the sentiments of the others before me and state your videos are very informative and interesting and am also grateful for the amount of time and energy they take to produce. Love the movie out takes too. Almost makes me want to get this kit
Hi Madhatter Studios, thanks so much for that. It's surely a lot of work and time spent putting these together, but the entertainment and joy garnered by the viewers and expressed by them in the comment section with a 👍 are great "payment" for all the effort! 😊
Glad to see you’re still in the fight sir, I’m sorry about your fur babies, thanks for being around
Thanks, ViperTomcat. It's been rough. Glad you're enjoying the videos 😃
great work👍
Thank you so much 😀
So very sorry to hear of the sad loss of Brutus.
Thanks, darkknight1340 . Such a tragic event to befall such a sweet fellow. It's unbelievable. I miss that doggie. 💔
Awesome build. You are no longer an amateur builder💪
Hey Peter, wow, thanks for that! 🤩
Hope your life is better , we missed you ! love and best wishes from Wales .😍😍 loving the C variant , not many models out there .
Hi Fred, thanks so much😍! Lots of things were going on behind and in front of the camera, I'm a bit relieved that the project is finally done.
A great build, Max (and a big one), and good to see you back. Sorry to hear things have been rough in recent months. I hope you're starting to feel a bit better overall.
Hi Foab Moab, as always, it's fantastic to hear from you on the feed. It's been a very rough time indeed.
As an aside, I'm glad I selected the "wings folded" option because the F-35 barely fits in the place its parked at now. I don't know where I would have put it if the wings had been extended! 😲😂
Great job as always. I like your story models. Thank you for the inspiration in my creation.
Hi Petr, thank you very much! 😃
I think this was your best build and video yet keep up the great work! I lost my fur baby in 2019 and cant go through that again, so no more pets for me.
Hi danwilliams1686, sorry for your loss in 2019. That's the year I lost my Alpha dog, Milo, after 17years together. Glad you enjoyed the F-35 build 🙂
He’s Back !!!!!! Btw Love your videos so much
Hi Jangebicki, so glad you liked it! Unfortunately, statistically speaking for this channel and at this stage, this F-35 video is actually a flop. 🤔
simply amazing
Hello again, Maxtherocketguy -- thanks for watching this one and glad you liked it! 😄
Beautiful build as always buddy. So sorry for your loss. Keep your head up.
As always, great to hear from you C S! Thanks! 😎
Really glad you posted. Beautiful job. The painting waa amazing. So sorry for your loss. I lost my little budy last year and miss him wveey day.
Hi Stephen, sorry for your loss as well, it's tough for sure. 😢
Man, I sure do miss working on those jets. You did a good job 😎
Hi kamdenbarclay486, that's great to hear from a maintainer who worked on them up close. 😊
I loved this one, Max. That's a good looking jet. Nice work!
Hi Scott, I'm happy a lot of viewers are enjoying this latest production. It seemed like a never ending project at times 😲
Thanks for your wonderful comments 😊
Great to see your back with another awesome build video I really enjoyed this one the F35 is a tasking build but it's rewarding I'm almost done with my tamiya kit great job on this Trumpeter kit looks awesome, looking forward to the next video all the best from Wales
Hi Faron, thanks and best wishes on your build. From what I've seen the Tamiya F-35 has more accurate and fine detailing.
Com toda certeza o mais detalhado e organizado na montagem de maquetes! Assisto seu vídeos a muito tempo, é um tempo muito bem investido!
Que bom que você gostou dos vídeos. Obrigado, raynner_valentim!
Looks cool. 👍
Thanks, Go For It Painting 😄
*Such a lovely and fabulous build, the best F-35 i saw since a while, 👍👍👏👏👏👏!*
Hello again foreverplastickits138, thanks! 😃
RIP Brutus. I'm sure you were a good boy.
Thanks, mixererunio 🙂
Hi max! I have always loved waking up and seeing a new video every once in a while, and it has inspired me over time and I even got into building scale models. I really hope you continue to make these works of art. I had a suggestion for a kit you could build. My local hobby store had an A-10 Thunderbolt C kit and I got it. It was an absolute blast and it was super detailed and soooo fun to build. I thought that I would tell you it was only $40 and came with nice rubber tires, four different decal options and a very well made kit. It is HobbyBoss brand and I enjoyed it and if you build it I hope you enjoy it too. Thanks for reading this far if you did and keep building!
Hi meganmurphy7671, glad you got started and that you're enjoying the hobby. Thanks for the review on the A-10C kit -- I didn't know HB had updated it, but the contents look nice and at a very good price. On another note: I hope to have a new video out in 2-3 weeks. Cheers! 😎
@@MaxAfterburner if you build it it comes with 4 different schemes two heritage planes, a black snakes (163rd squadron out of Fort Wayne, Indiana I got to go there and see an air show two years ago and saw the actual plane) and a regular a-10 paint scheme. I built the black snakes as it is a special squadron to me as it is the only A-10 I have ever seen fly. If I was to pick the decals that I wanted to see, I would pick a heritage scheme because I already built the black snakes A-10 myself
Sorry about the long comments
Cool, thanks for sharing! 😃
I needed a Max-Afterburner fix, and this delivered, in spades.
Over here, next to JRB Carswell NAS Dallas as I am, there are more than a few Charlies about.
I also know both Airedales and LMM personnel, too.
How LMM let them pick the name of the fighter with the _least_ amount "joint service" use still amazes me.
The maintainers, both white & brown shirt, really hate the lack of red outlines on the kakajillion doors these beasts have.
Apparently, it's entirely appropriate for one of the three l/g to get a thin red wash for "prototype" appearance.
It still looks, though, (barring decals) the 1/48 Tamiya kit is a touch better. But, at 1/32 trumpy is the option.
Great job on the difficult paint scheme these birds need.
Hi CAPNMAC82, glad to hear from you again and that you enjoyed the video! 🤩
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!!Coooome on!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks, sergionano4 😉😉😉
Its a FANTASTIC KIT AND....A FANTASTIC MODELER😉😉😉
Fantastic. Very nicely done
Hi Armour Empire, thanks much! 😊
WOW!~you back!
Hi McLaren-Hobby, 😉
대박! Excellent 👍.
정말 고마워요!
Wow, been waiting long to see a new masterpiece from you! I am a fan of F-35. I only saw this model set without painting in an exhibition once. Actually the Trumpeter factory is nor far away from where I live. But I seldom purchase a Trumpeter set because sometimes many details are missing in Trumpeter sets. But the price of Trumpeter sets are so tempting.
Hi Aidesbn Lee, thanks, that's very kind. I hope to make a masterpiece one day...
I hope you enjoyed this F-35C 😊
@@MaxAfterburner You have already built many masterpiece along the way.
That came out amazing! It looks like a whole roll of tape is needed to mask it up right too but it was well worth the effort. Bravo sir!
Hi Phil, it was a crazy undertaking. I'm still finding bits of that tape on my furniture and clothing! Every time I look at the logos you designed, I'm just thrilled with them all over again. Shoot me an e-mail sometime and maybe we can decide on a model build episode dedicated to you, my friend! 🥳
@@MaxAfterburner Im glad the logo is to your liking - I was actually messing with another design the other day at work on my lunch. Ill shoot you an email tomorrow when I get a chance. Oh and I just ordered the Eduard precut set for the Academy B model. After re-watching the video I thought it best for my sanity to go this route at 1/72 scale 😆
oh wow awesome work on the jet good to see your back at the bench again like always keep them coming sorry for all your loses on your lil fur babies its not easy i knw
Hi model tank guy, great to see a post from you again! Thanks for your kind thoughts 👍
@@MaxAfterburner yea i was on a lil break but im bach at the bench again
You are alive! Also first time I read the Battle Penguin nickname, I can see why though given the shape of the nose and body.
Hi FirstDagger, that's a good point. I hadn't quite noticed that until you mentioned the "penguin" looking shape. 🧐
You're back! I was just wondering a few days ago when you would post again
And here it is, Charlie 🤣
Nice! Nice! Nice!
Hi Nikolay, thank you and cheers!
Wish they would have done the full color markings. But hey it looks great.
For sure, Phillip. I think I would have definitely gone with the RAM decals had they been provided! Glad you liked the outcome! 😃
@@MaxAfterburner
I mean the KittyHawk 1/48 scale has full color. Also are you planning on building the F-35A and F-35B in 1/32 scale??
Hi Phillip, oh, I see. I'm always thinking in terms of low visibility markings. I keep hearing about Tamiya, so I wasn't aware of the Kittyhawk edition. As far as another F-35 build, it would be a few projects down the road...
When f35 coming for landing, The left rear landing gear seems messed up. You can see the aircraft pull to the left.
Ah, interesting. You have better eyes than mine. 🧐
4:53 That was not an accident, that was the first experiment to see if the Fat Amy can double also as submarine :) ... Such experiments are often carried out, sometime friends help you in such regards... Japan helped US and UK and vice-versa, UK and US helped Germany and vice-versa during WW2 and more recently Ukraine helped Russia in experimenting with the submarine capabilities of a cruiser... and for all intents and purposes the experiment was a success, the guided missile cruiser Moskva is now, officially a submarine... Granted is doubt about its abilities to ever surface, but who knows :))))
One major detail you got wrong is the forward main landing gear doors. They only open during gear movement or retraction
Yes, I know. These were left open to make the bays more viewable as well as the tail hook being deployed.
wake up babe, new max afterburner!
Haha, love it! Thanks, 0EvilLemons0 ! 😍
Great video. Well done! Fat Amy can always use some love....and so can we all. Hopefully there are better times ahead for you as well.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Why a 1/32 this ti-
Oh, right. There are no F-35C kits available in 1/72 and 1/48 scales yet.
italeri is supposedly making a 1/72 f-35c but yeah i’ve been trying to find one for a while too
Hi, really like your videos! I think once I heard you mention about "deconstructing" a model. Is that possible, and how would you proceed? I was thinking of removing decals, changing paint scheme, ect. I think some parts may have to be removed...thanks. Also, how to strip the Tamiya paint??
Hi Plydrms, I don't recall ever mentioning deconstruction, but if Tamiya acrylics were used, soaking them in a Windex type fluid would help make stripping the paint away much easier.
Ok, thank you.@@MaxAfterburner
I know you’ve already done the hasegawa super hornet but I’d love to see you do a meng super hornet and compare them
Hi BrokenRecord11943, I've been wanting to do a Hornet in an aggressor camouflage scheme... 🤔
Showww.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
😉🇧🇷🥂🍾

Can you please make a USN Blue Angel F/A-18 Superhornet or USAF Thunderbird F-16
Hi MasonsFavs7, those might be too clean and pretty for me to do on this channel 😉
@@MaxAfterburner that’s true lol
oh yeah it's time to get RELAXED
edit: aww no not the dogs.... :( I'm so sorry to hear that
Haha, love the comment! Thanks, Kimarykor Lumiose 🥳
Dear friend, I have a question:
how many psi do you use in your airbrush to paint with tamiya paint?
And how many passes does it give when painting after priming (xf-69)? (I have passed more than two coats and the paint has become very clear)....How I can avoid this?
Regards!!!
Hi strikeeagle7, I usually keep the the compressor set to a 22psi output. I get that question a lot so I post an inset image of the compressor gauge on the first airbrush session in each of my videos now. Depending on the color of your paint coat over the XF-69 and/or the dilution ratio of the paint may be factors. The final result of the look I want on my model can affect how many passes it will take to achieve the desired appearance. If I want a completely solid color on the model, it will take ~ 4 coats. 🧐
@@MaxAfterburner thanks dear friend, i´m made an f/a-18e and it seems to clear...i will put a new darker coat to fix this problem. i´m using 18psi. do you think is ok? or 22 is a good mark?
regards!!
18 psi is probably just as good, I don't think it will make that much of a difference.
@@MaxAfterburner thanks , i will try
Still waiting for a 1/72 F-35C
Hi randycheow4268, there's a company called Orange Hobby that has already released the "C" in 1/72 scale. I believe Italeri is also releasing the F-35C in that scale soon as well.
RIP Brutus 😢
Hi micoskywalker8889, thanks for Brutus. His loss was so random and shocking 😥
@@MaxAfterburner I lost my dog (my daughter) a while back, buried her myself and promised to never have another dog again hence I simply got carried away with memories while commenting and just forgot to mention how incredible and motivating your scale modeling videos are. I’m so happy to come across your vids. You got a subscriber all the way from overseas.
No worries, and so sorry for your loss. Glad you like the videos and welcome aboard 🙂
Cool introduction and video. It looks like it is bigger than Hasegawa? How is it in terms of detail? I was wondering what kit to buy?
Hi maxfartuhov, glad you enjoyed the video. This Trumpeter F-35C model is actually 225% (2.25x) larger than the Hasegawa 1/72 scale F-35 models. The detail is good, but the kit you may want to purchase comes down to how much time and money you want to spend on such a build.
@@MaxAfterburner and I guess it is bigger than Tamiya 61124 Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning 1/48? but I could not find the info about how much they differ in terms of detail.
The Tamiya F-35A kit is better detailed, but it is smaller at 1/48 scale than the 1/32 Trumpeter. Also, the Tamiya would be smaller even at the same scale because the actual "A" Lightning II is not as big as the F-35C variant.
ok. thank you. anyway, I should buy both kits.@@MaxAfterburner
Deeply sorry about Brutus.
:(
Thanks, DN Models. If it wasn't for the horrible and cruel hand of Fate, Mooch and Brutus would still be here.
As for Italeri kit which one is better？
Hi 郭逸雄, I haven't had any exposure to the Italeri kit, so I couldn't offer an honest opinion. 🤔
@@MaxAfterburner Thank you
Could you do a the Space shuttle?
Hi alexviper9773, possibly. I was a big space shuttle fan back in the day and built many models of the craft.
@@MaxAfterburner That would make for a really interesting build, Tom. You very rarely see models of the Space Shuttle. I remember back in the early eighties, the idea of the Space Shuttle was so exciting. And now it has passed into history.
@@MaxAfterburner awesome! Can’t wait to hear your decision!
You may want to edit the over comments..
The UK operates F-35B.. not the C...
Hi ed w, yeah someone has already caught that. I forgot to take the "C" off in the text.
Why are you audio recording yourself while showering 😅
The best acoustics are in there 😉
I work on the real thing on the production line in final assembly. Hope this kit goes together a lot better than the real thing. It's a mismanaged program badly designed pig of a plane.
Hi montylc2001, the F-35 doesn't seem to be a very popular jet in many respects 🐖. It's certainly one of my worst performing videos too. 🤨
@@MaxAfterburner I think it's a case of "jack of all trades master of none" as far this aircraft is concerned Tom. Also being somewhat awkward in appearance doesn't help.
Heeey what dafuck the kit IS almost done from the very box and the modeler just glue some parts and paint
