Now i remember why I gave up on 1/72, even on CZcams it almost defeats my minces. And I'm glad I'm not the only one to forget putting superglue back in the fridge - probably not quite so critical here in the UK, though.
I must say that after watching this and checking out some of your earlier videos that I missed I'm quite taken with how much screen time you're willing to give to the 1/72 format. After returning to the hobby from being a wee lad I assumed 1/48 scale would be a better option due to the bigger size and more detail. Problem these days is 1/48 isn't a blown up version of smaller kits. There's generally considerably more small parts which negates the reason for considering the bigger scale plus the extra room required. Also new 1/72 kits are a wealth of detail as evidenced by this project. I understand that larger scales are advantageous when doing a video as it makes things easier to see for the audience but I've had no problem following your process. I initially thought the chipping on the seat looked a bit much but once finished and in place it looked spot on. Another five stars 🙂
Lovely work as always Jamie looking great already. Be interested in your preshading chat be good if you could talk about if it’s worth doing in different scales. Also where do you by the vms metal prep from ? Always end up with chipped photo etch
Will do mate www.scalemodelshop.co.uk/metal-prep-4k-vms-p17725/?gclid=CjwKCAjwxOymBhAFEiwAnodBLH8JE-9XLeLHU-VdgYkgdg0BGj_rCOsccYcdS6_DNTphBA0SC8DLdBoC1foQAvD_BwE
Looks really good.
Superglue, I've been using AK Magnet for over a year, kept on the bench and hasn't gone off.
Good stuff.
I work in Saudi and the heat just kills it! I keep forgetting to put it in the fridge!

It is a particular problem here
Brilliant Jamie, cheers Liam
Thanks Liam

It is my favourite scale!
Pre-shading, post-shading; pre-folding, post-folding; flippin' heck, Jamie, it's all strategic decision making!
Some decisions are a no brainer though!
Really great techniques Jamie, my last weathering effort was a little overdone, subtlety is the key it seems.
Subtlety and most importantly references too!

What kind of canopy glue do you use?
Depends mate. Sometimes normal cement, sometimes Ammo Ultra Glue. Check out the last weekly update mate, I explain all in detail there.
