Really hope you enjoyed this video all! See you in the next one :D

It's amazing you didn't use tape to mask the lighter grey areas, great brush control and steady hand.

[dermotmoriarty]

Fair play, that's a great result from a starter kit. 👏

[diggilad]

built mine with the canopy up, its a nice kit.

Great inspiring video to have a go at the starter set challenge!

[paperjerry]

Thank you for taking it back to basics!

[ModelMinutes]

Absolutely fantastic take on the Starter Set Challenge!

[robjohnson]

Really enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing.

Enjoyed this.
Nice work with what you were allowed to use.
Your work on the canopy was superb; a steady hand indeed.
Just goes to show how much a few little extras enhance a build.
Thanx for sharing. 👍

Nice work. The problems you explained, and were apparent, just show that "3d party" items are a must. Primer, putty and sandpaper being of necessity. Not to mention gloss varnishes.

[vicparratt]

With regard to paint adhesion, did you wash the parts first to get rid of any mold release agent. Best wishes Vic.

[scaleffect]

That light gray pattern painting looks awful to do. But I'm sure masking it for airbrushing would feel no less tedious. Great result considering the materials.

[ljscalemodels]

Fantastic effort, wonder what it would be like against the clock?😂 same about the ads, cheers Liam

[sammurphy]

Hi, what primer would you recommend for this if you were using it? I’m new to this and have no clue

[tail_lamp]

Superb work mate, you've achieved a great finish 👍

[burningphoneix]

Lol, I slide instrument panel decals onto unvarnished cockpits all the time.

I do have Mr.mark setter and Mr.mark softer to help though....

[TheFighterrr-]

can we do this as sort of a beginner kit for well... beginners instead of it being a challenge or a low budget challenge cuz bezos charges for shipping even with prime >:(? on another note love trick you showed at 18:53 (may not be that big of a secret I did like one model and it failed :P) anyways its awesome keep it up!

Building kits with as less materials and tools as possible is more like expert work. Beginners will find it much easier if they have all the tools and materials they need at their disposal. So i really don't get the point of these "starter" kits. Brush painting on an unprimed surface? No way. You need experience to get a half decent result.
