“Deckles” lol Dee cals 😂

My hands are shaky as hell lol I thought there's some other way to do it

Best "Falcon" build video I have seen in a long time. Excellent Work on model kit build and production value of the video itself!

Very hard to watch ending. Shades of the cold war 😢.

That is one sweet Stang there. Nice job

7:14 You're using your cutters wrong -- IF you have good flush cutting shears, you can carefully cut parts from the sprues only once. Once cut from the sprue, you may (or may not) have only the smallest of residual "nubs" to sand off, it depends on your skill and well, giving a damn, but the cutters (I use Xuron) can cut parts off completely flush especially if it is a piece with flat sides. You just created extra work for yourself because you cut twice, then filed then sanded. That's 3-4 steps per piece. Then there's people in the comments whining about the parts count and the "tedious" roadwheel assembly process and I can't say I blame them. I'm just here for the Tamiya motorized model portion. Good show.

Great tips

Is it possible to fold down the wings?

Hello dear friend. Been there a while. I don't know if there can be a suggestion that you can lubricate the mentioned teeth for wings, so there can be less chances for the wings to break down (not so clever). Also looking forward to see the assembly of your video dear friend. Mind if I ask you for your email, dear friend?

Even with the new parts.... this model is really a "White Elephant", I mean a bad model, it miss so muany details specially on the engine section on the top back of the hull. Congratulations you made a miracle on this build.

Nice job, but you left many gaps, that could be closed with putty...

Também Amo Yamato/Starblazers !!!

Firstly , terrific video , started back modelling during pandemic, easier when your retired! Secondly nobody warned me about Tamiya thin cement and canopies. Now about to start a Sunderland flying boat “ Italaeri” . My old hands aren’t as steady but looking forward to to trying your method. Many thanks. Ed.

I have never heard anybody say decals that way before in my life, lol.

Did u use acrylic base gloss coat? I was wondering if mark fit ss will melt it.

I think might want to try the Tamiya Mark Fit Strong solution under the decal to completely wet the surface and act as a setting solution, wait a little and then roll the decals out with a Q-tip (cotton bud) to press the decal down to remove trapped air. After getting the decal placed, then apply Tamiya Mark Fit super strong solvent on top. As I understand it this two solution process is more what Tamiya seems to have had in mind. The bubbles you got in your test are trapped air and working it out before applying the solvent is very effective at reducing that problem in my experience.

I tried to reply to your reply, but it will not let me. Here is my reply to yours: ​ @rebelsatcloudnine ​, wow! You are WAAAY ahead of me on this! Thank you for your feedback. One can build a B-17E variant from the Hong Kong Models 1:32nd-scale B-17E/F kit; that one also ought to serve as a test bed or template to convert HK's 1:48th-scale B-17F kit or Revell's 1:72nd-scale B-17F kit (04279) to a B-17E variant. I just saw something: Scale Modelling Madness in “Revell 1/72 B-17F Memphis Belle (Part 1: Kit review and interior build” says that this Revell 1/72 B-17F kit is erroneous to make a Memphis Belle replica. See his post for more.

Great tutorial. Thank you. I wonder if black Vallejo primer would work just as well or better than Tamiya flat black paint.

Seatbelts

Currently working on a C130J any example?

They were the enemy but they ere human too.

Definition of insanity? Putting your own tire threads

Fantastic build! Please can I ask how you blocked over the rear airframe windows?

I know i'm three years to late, but when i look at the gun position at wings isn't that mora a Mk IXc than a Mk IXe?

I have all the Batmobiles my favorite is the 1966 Batmobile because my friend George Barris built it out of a 1955 Lincoln and I talked to him when he was saling the original Batmobile at Barrett Jackson car auction I got to drive it with him and before he died in 2015 he gave me everything he had in his office I even got the Batman watch that he wore

G’Day Rebel. If you’re not fussed on painting it then you cn build this in one evening(maybe two). The fit of parts is such that you dont need any glue. However, there are seam lines and mold likes that need attention if you want to do a nice looking model. The weight of the wings won’t break the swivel connectors and there isnt much up and down swivel. If you paint the cockpit black with some dry brushing you barely see the second row of seats. Pay very close attention to the wings and their connectors- once the connectors are clicked in place you will not get them off. The landing gear can be up or down - if up you have to use the display stand. And as for colours I believe the instructions are wrong with AK number. Its not a pale desert sand. Personally I went with a neutral grey/dark green mix for a colour thats almost the same colour as the plastic. Otherwise its a total blast. You will need a shit load of shelf space to display this beast with wings spread. Cheers 👍

Just a small tip for you regarding the masking fluid. I'm a Watercolour Artist as well as a modeller, in watercolour before using any masking fluid we gently scrub our brush on a bar of soap before dipping into the fluid, this helps protect the brush bristles making the brush last longer. You may already know this, but I'm sure if not for you it maybe useful for others. Lovely build and props for the work on the tires that must have taken some time

I would love to see the tools for the cockpit frame that molding is insane

I got the tiny one temted to get this

Very cool looking kit. Watching videos of the recent Wonderfest I saw a number of people who have built this and the builds look very nice (and very big!). Looking forward to seeing your build. Happy Canada day.

Neat video. What paints will you use? I have the mini kits and they do not come with paint guides. As you know, with me being colorblind, figuring out matching paints is difficult.

The models are cool pity the movie sucks so badly 😂😂

Cool model 👍

I keep wondering If Revell IS ever going to retool this Bad Boy and finally add some riveting 😡😡😡😡

Hello, i am planning on building and painting a b 17 and i was wondering if you could recommend a prefeply 1 tamiya color to put on thr belly side of the plane?

David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Monday, 24 June, 2024, 7:51 pm EDT). Another clean, satisfying kit build production. You make it seem effortless! (BTW, just how many rebels? Is your secret for your alacrity that you lot are clones?-albeit from a galaxy far, far away? Or Canadian Star Trek fans?) Round 13:50, you mask the aluminum-painted cowl and nacelle prior to painting the bright blue. Yes, I long have wondered the same thing about the notion of ADDING silvery paint to a subtractive process as paint chipping. I very much would like to hear/read your comparison of this Airfix B-17G kit with Revell Germany’s B-17F kit.

Nice build, but for me you've overdone the chipping and weathering. Just saying...

Very nice video, excellent commentary and perfect music background! This was a true pleasure to watch. Thank you!

Great work as always!!

I’ve never heard decals pronounced as “ deckles “. It’s pronounced “ DEE-Cowls “.

Amazing technique, very creative and useful. Thanks.

Beautiful! Really great to see the finished kit.

Incredible job as always. Great painting, chipping and weathering. The DIY sculpted heads on those repurposed pilots figures look perfect. I've never built a Millennium Falcon before sure want to now that I've seen this build.
