Hi Gene, Glad you liked the video. The reddish stuff is not a filler, it's actually colored liquid cement. I am using Ammo By Mig red cement liquid glue. it sounds gimmicky but....it really is a product you should have in your modeling arsenal. It helps you see exactly where you are gluing. I really like it! It is faster acting that Tamiya liquid cement. Khumar

Updated #3: top camo done. I used Vallejo Model air RLM 02 and RLM 71. Next step, gloss coat with Ak intermediate guazy.

Update #2: The underside painted, kit is masked, and RLM 02 painted on the upper sides.

Purchased this kit for $5 dollars....not a fan of WWII stuff but seriously at those prices I can't seem to stop buying them. Took a poll on my Facebook modeling group on which scheme & markings people would like to see for the video. They decided on the standard German scheme for the time. I was learning towards a captured bird. The cockpit is pretty simple and straight forward, painted it using Zenith highlights (I have a video on how to paint cockpits in zenith highlights on my YouTube channel if interested). Black-based the kit and added Zenith highlights to the leading edges and t

Fun little kit, goes together pretty fast. It is not a tamiya level kit....does have a few minor issues and lacks details in several areas. But it is a unique and fun subject. Here is the video on the build

Would respectfully disagree that airbrushes will have issues airbrushing model paints, especially if they are higher end. I have over 50 airbrushes (former professional airbrush artist). If you see my video/YouTube channel I mostly use my Harder & Steenbeck (which are not cheap at all and definitely the higher end of airbrush world) and have no issues what so ever in over 10 years of having switched to acrylics. One thing I wanted to point out, you can use my thinner mixture on Mission Models and get fantastic results. But if you don't want to do that, there is a off the shelf

Hey Spacecraftguy The video on how to airbrush Vallejo paints, that is my video. I definitely understand your frustration with acrylics (in particular Vallejo). I started off with lacquers and I love lacquers....but due to health issues I had to switch over. Modeling is situational, if I was in the situation where I could go back to lacquers....I probably would. Plus I have roommates and pets, so I have to be respectful. Yet at the same time, I want to continue enjoying my hobby. I think the first issue people have with acrylics is they approach them with lacquer/ename

Not another G-4, but I am looking for a G-6. I picked up this sheet of captured G-6's at a hobby show for a nice price! It has several options that look awesome.

Oh, I wish so badly someone would redo the game with current graphics. I would buy it immediately. It was such a well done game, great story line, plot, characters, etc.

haha, well hopefully it was helpful. And btw, your profile thumbnail is from Strike Commander. I use to play that game all the time!

Final update: as you can see, the 109 build came to an end today. My clumsy a** dropped the model and why trying to scoop it up....ended up stepping on it instead. Sigh.....here lay it's final remains.

Thank you. Regarding your question....it's because I am an idiot haha. I am not a WWII guy, so I ended up ordering the wrong paints.

Update 4: unfortunately, I was not able to finish the kit in 2-3 days as I had hoped. My mom was diagnosed with Breast Cancer this past week. Today was the first day I was able to do some modeling. In tough times, modeling is such a therapeutic release and helps keep me grounded. So I was able to close up the cockpit, install the lower piece with the wing alignment part, and glue & fill the seams of the nose cowling piece. I also received the Ammo paint set. I am going to try it out on this kit.

Update Part 3: so I got bogged down with the fuselage. For some reason....this time around the tail to fuselage joint was extremely problematic. Lot's of sanding and rescribing done and I am still not finished.

Robert, glad to hear the video was useful to you. Unfortunately, your linked picture is not accessible. Can you reload?
