Thank you very much! Indeed, the painted, not decalled red star and the winterwash camouflage were the main challenges of this kit. Thanks for watching!

@@PanzergrauModels I can imagine! I would love to pull a look like that off someday on like a 72nd Yak-1 or LaGG-3

Thank you!

Not really. I used life references from the Military Museum in Bucharest.

@@PanzergrauModels I understand, thanks

Indeed, that was hurting! But meanwhile RB Productions have released a full set of correctly printed decals (four options) which I bought together with two more IAR 80s.

Thank you!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you so much! These decals were flawless: thin, very transparent carrier film, thin and souple.

@@PanzergrauModels Thanks for the info, very much appreciated.

Thank you!

Thank you very much for your feed-back! The pressure I normally use - as I did in the video - is 18-20 psi (a/b trigger depressed). Straight from the bottle, TCP paint may require 30 psi+, but I always thinned them approx 3:1 paint:thinner for a .4mm setup. I've tried as thinner acetone (rougher finish, faster drying time), xylene (very smooth finish, but very "hot" mix) and MLT (excellent "egshell" finish, 2-3 hours dry to touch finish). The splattering is a common occurence; never the needle seals perfectly. It can be avoided by starting spraying outside the surface of the model at every pass, especially after the a/b was resting for a little while.

@@PanzergrauModels Awesome and thank you for the kind and detailed reply. My setup in .4mm needle and PSI as well as air brush distance and paint technique seems to mimic yours so hopefully my results will too :) And a big thank you for talking through your build, the masking portion is a great FAQ.

Thank you so much! No - the build us as basic as it gets: one gear box connected to a simple driveshaft. Steyr ADGZ - also on this channel - have the ability to switch engines / gearboxes

I know - I found out later. The width and number of the camouflage strips is also wrong. I bought 2 other kits which I'm gonna do based on accurate paint schemes. Thanks for comment!

Thank you! Yes, the Eduard kit is very good and comes with lots of insignias.

Thank you very much for the kind comments. Yes, I do my modellin on jazz or cameral music.

:) I did snapped a few before. Not so difficult with the right tools and correct lightning / working position.

Thank You! MiG 15 (Czech production).

I'm on it, bud! Thanks!

that's not how this hobby works, dude... :D

@@geroschorch1365 Yea, model hobbyists seem to be quite lazy.

@@REgamesplayer oh the irony

@@geroschorch1365 Yea, I thought that these nerdy people would be the most keen in helping others to get into their hobby. I was wrong on that sadly.

Da - bună observație! Am observat mai apoi și modificat la poziția corectă - filmul era deja publicat. Mulțumesc pentru feed-back!

@@PanzergrauModels multumesc pentru raspuns si pentru ca ai modificat acest detaliu important. Este bine sa te documentezi din cat mai multe surse pentru ca rezultatul muncii tale sa fie ca mai aproape de realitate. Spor la treaba in continuare.

@@atrium8609 Mulțumesc frumos! În mod ironic, cartea lui Radu Brînzan despre IAR 80 mi-a parvenit în ziua imediat următoare terminării modelului. Oricum, inspirat din cartea respectivă, am mai cumpărat 2 exemplare ale kit-ului și de asemenea un set de decaluri de la RB Productions. Planurile sunt deja făcute: un exemplar va fi faimosul 42, celălalt un exemplar foarte interesant de teste pe pista de la Brașov. Problema e timpul pe care îl am la dispoziție...

Thanks, Stu! Yes, the canvas was sprayed from afar woth acrylics, for grainy texture, then dry-brushed with enamels to enhance the contrast. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.

Thanks, Glenn!

Thank you for sharing. I am building the same kit!

@@WGlennNorman It's a very nice kit, easy to put together. Unfortunately the painting instructions are all wrong and decals and decals placements erroneous. The colour strips should be narrower on the wings and many Romanian IAR 80s had wrap - around camouflages (i.e. only the undersides of the wings were sky blue). Also the interior of the cockpit was light blue. The instruments were RLM66, being of German make, but the interior wasn't RLM02. I have discovered these details after I completed the build - and my build is erroneous. I bought 2 new kits to build them in specific schemes. The decals from RB Production are excellent and the colour schemes provided with are thoroughly researched.

Thank you for the information!

Mulțumesc, Adi!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! I really appreciate it - and I am always glad to share my modelling experiences.

Ho !!! thank you so much for your answer. I really appreciate it too. I'm waiting for my 1/35 Panzerspähwagen P 204 (f) released by ICM (kit number 35374) and for sure I will follow your steps. Will share the result with you.

@@alainvandenbosch2685 Excellent kit. The one I had it's a Tamiya rebox of the same ICM - with a few extras - as the stowage I used in this build. It's a gem of a kit and I cannot to see what you're going to get from it.

Haha. I haven't see it that way :) For me the music has no nationality but, in this case, it is about the YT copyright; I remember I've tried to get a Katiousha song for another build and I couldn't find any without copyright infringement :(

Yeah, the build was a tribute to my "modelling school" - AutoModeler that is and especially to one online friend from Denmark. The plate was masked and painted - no decals ;)

@@PanzergrauModels Looks great. When I was a kid, I traveled to the furthest hobby shop away from my house and I would buy Scale Auto and Car Modeler magazines and learn from what those builders were doing in there. Sadly, i lost my entire collection to the 2013 High River Flood.

@@MonsterHobbiesModelCarGarage That's sad to hear. I survived Hurricane Irma here and luckily my house was unscathed. But I've seen three of my neighbouring houses levelled to ground 0. I would have went nuts if I would have my stash and bench destroyed and lost for good.

@@PanzergrauModels I lost anything 7" high at the house...but my hobby store went under 5 feet.

@@MonsterHobbiesModelCarGarage That sounds scary! BTW, which one it's your video where you explain why AMT had a short run of excellent kits, then went back to the old bad habit of reboxing crap?

Yeah, I want the epoque feeling to the build. And it's a funny little song as well :)

@@PanzergrauModels Great!

Thank you! The kit it's also very nice and it has well appointed detail.

Mulțumesc frumos. Am cumpărat încă 2 kit-uri și un set de decaluri. Deocamdată nu am hotărât care cum va fi, dar probabil că unul o să fie ăla fotografiat la Brașov cu tablă negrunduită pe el...

Thank you! Revell destroyed their name by re-boxing altogether good and bad. This particular kit is an ICM originally, and an early ICM at that. They're not the best, indeed, regarding the sprues layout, but after a couple kits you can get their logic. I sort of like 'em.

Thank you so much! Yes, indeed is a very nice detailed kit produced by ICM and re-boxed by Revell. Yo've got right the main point of this build: the contrast between shiny "hard" black and matte "soft" black. If it'll be to redo this vehicle (maybe the 1/24th version), probably I will chose the dark blue & black scheme. Cheers!

Thank you for leaving a comment and Happy Holydays! I agree with you 100%. Ironically, we as modellers want as many details as possible and then the same us complain about the same details :). There are instances of poor engineering though, as in this T54's case the smoke canisters, unnecessarily over complicated as plastic / PE / plastic again sandwiches but per whole assembly the kit is beautiful. And, indeed, nowadays the accent lays on the finishing and weathering in disproportionate manner, thanks to Mig Jimenez and alike. Lately I am more into 1/24th cars and I somewhat feel "cheated", if not frustrated when an (older) model comes in only few parts, especially the interiors, killing all the detail. The balance is hard to achieve though and I can say that my favourites are Moebius Models for cars. For armoured vehicles, newer Tamiya, MiniArt, Bronco and Hobby Boss are scoring big in my preferences.

@@PanzergrauModels There's never been a better time to be a scale modeler! These new kits are astonishing. Meng, MiniArt, Tamiya, etc. Kits we never dreamed about when I was young. And the range of paints and tools is amazing. It would be nice if young(er) model makers rediscovered the joy of assembling kits properly. There's really no excuse for sloppy assembly with the precision models on the market today. Not like the clunky old Airfix and Monogram stuff (etc.) from days gone! xD

Thanks, Paul. I really appreciate your feed-back!

Again, many thanks, Paul. I'm glad you liked it - that's the biggest reward for an You-tuber ;)

Yes, the latest videos are filmed with FZ-82. The audio is improved though (noise reduction and normalizing). The video is as good as raw - no other editing than cutting and rendering to YT defaults.

@@PanzergrauModels nice, so great, Im trying the video with this camera, good to see.

Mulțumesc! Chiar te sfătuiesc. Kitul de bază de la HB e mai mult decât decent, nu are nevoie decât de modificări minime. În tot cazul, schema mea cromatică este greșită. Decalurile kitului sunt din nou greșite, ca și instrucțiunile de amplasare a lor. Fă puțină cercetare înainte să abordezi kitul, ca să nu repeți greșelile mele. Mai am 2 în proiect, deja cumpărate, dar n-am timp de ele pentru că am prea multe comenzi pe auto :(

@@PanzergrauModels mulțumesc pentru sfaturi. :)

Thank you so much! Indeed, despite its age the kit holds well. The only real issues were in the cowling area and the belly window - but nothing that a modicum of skill cannot sort it out. I hope you enjoy pitting together and painting the kit as much as I did!

Hi, Thiago! The decals are the ones provided with the Revell kit. Thanks for watching!

Thanks. Very interesting indeed.

Salut, Gabriel! Nu stiu de unde se poate cumpara in Romania, nici ce branduri se gasesc. Ceea ce folosesc eu se numeste UHU Tac, de productie germana. Intra pe grupul FB ProModelism Romania - acolo vei gasi toate informatiile legate de produsele romanesti sau disponibile pe piata romaneasca. Multumesc pentru vizionare!
