One of the BEST Mistercraft Kits?! Fairey Fulmar in 1/72 Scale – Build & Review

The Fairey Fulmar was a Naval fighter and reconnaissance aircraft which saw service during the second world war. Having a requirement for a crew of 2 due to the belief that a navigator was used for operations at sea, this resulted in a larger design compared to contemporary land-based fighter aircraft.
Join me in this video as I build and review the 1/72 scale Fairey Fulmar Mk.II plastic model kit from Mistercraft, and explore what makes it one of the best model kits from this manufacturer (which is probably saying something).

Take a look at the unboxing video here:

I was a little kid when I used to go to a local bakery in my neighborhood where the son of the owner worked as the cashier.
When there were no clients, he would work on his model builds right there on the counter and I would always watch while I was there with my mom.
He had his finished models displayed under the counter, it had a glass window display. With mostly war vehicles, airplanes and tanks.
I was always amazed looking at those models, they looked so well built and beautiful to me.
Since then I always wanted to do it, but I was very intimidated by the commitment, skill and tools needed.
These model building videos on YouTube now are slowly giving me the courage to start with this hobby.
Until then, I'll keep watching. Just subscribed as well, very nice content. Cheers from Brazil.

As for the paint colour, it’s your model do what you want.

Just bought the AZ version of this kit which comes with some photo-etch and resin. Sadly the resin wheels had been glued to the underside of a wing resulting in some 'meltdown' of the wing surface (AZ have a replacement in hand). Good outcome to your build and it gives me some confidence to start on mine.

Nice work once again Matt especially on the canopy. One thing have you considered regarding the canopy, have you thought of first applying the cockpit interior colour to it before main colour(s) are added, so when the interior is viewed, it shows the interior colour not the main colours. It does work on larger 1/72 but does really start to stand out from 1/48.

0:43 Because it's old Czech Vista (former Kovozávody Semily famous for their Flying Tigers' P 40).

I built a mister craft Hawker Hunter and haven’t touched one since 😂 I’m tempted to try the 1/48 piper cub but I might have to try out this one aswell 😅

Hi Matt, good video 📹, what is Clear Fix?? I've not seen this product before. Cheers 🍻

The fact that this kit went together rather ok is because it’s (as you mentioned at the end) not an original MisterCraft kit but from VISTA kits. Nice build ✨👍✨

Very nice model plane aircraft i like this plane Fairey Fulmar royal navy. Nice kit build.

[wadejustanamerican]

Nice build, as I have not built this one yet I will probably get one.

[rodneypayne]

In my experience the Mistercraft PZL Karas is the best kit from this company. It's so good because it's one of Heller's best 1/72 kits in their range. Plenty of detail and easy to build. I've built all boxings of this Fulmar, Vista being the best being the original boxing.
A nice cheap kit for scratch build of different versions, eg. aftermarket decals and scratch built antenna for a Radio and Radar Jammer version and basic spare parts addition for a periscope for a training version with spare decals used for markings.

Nice job Matt.. good to see you back :)

[josephlo]

What kind of airbrush do you have? the needle size as well. Thanks!

[hueyJoe]

A great build son 👏
You've done a great job on that model 👍

[arghons.hobby.workshop]

The best are Italeri and ICM repacked by MisterCraft.

[ShuttleFactoryScaleModels]

Great job Model Minutes you have made one stunning model from a Mistercraft kit. Also, I’m so glad you have gotten yourself a bottle of Micro Scale Decal Film. That stuff works wonders on old decals and in the printing of home-made D.I.Y Decals. Keep up the great work.

Me gusta mucho esto, he armado unos cuantos modelos, pero casi no hay modelismo por aqui, todo es demasiado caro y tengo que pagar inportaciones, para mi, armar 1 modelo al año es un lujo, saludos y me gustaría tener una pisca de tu talento

[Aardvarkdk]

Actually the best work, that I've seen on a MisterCraft kit ever. GJ Matt..
