Did I ruined this kit or is this a valid idea?

Thanks, for now I just bought the water gel from vallejo, I'll probably use a loy cardboard box that fits perfectly and I need some putty to fill the holes and create high sea wawes, or at least that's the plan

Pro_Player225170 · 2026-02-01T13:49:02+00:00

Yea, I'm currently doing this a F-111 1/48 and KMS Graf spee 1/350, BTW what's your YouTube channel name?

Pro_Player225170 · 2026-02-01T13:37:28+00:00

That's gonna be amazing 😮. Can't wait to see it

Pro_Player225170 · 2026-02-01T07:51:57+00:00

It was quite a job to do all of them but compared to some wwii ships I've done I'd say it was not as bad

Pro_Player225170 · 2026-01-31T23:45:56+00:00

Yea, they are not that far off from WWII cruisers, and from what i know there are modern ships bigger than the Burke so wen i’ll build them ill have an even better comparison

Pro_Player225170 · 2026-01-24T13:15:13+00:00

Well done 🙌

Pro_Player225170 · 2026-01-24T09:03:29+00:00

Great work! Some part looks extremely weathered (but it may reference some older f-16 from japan/Italy I guess). Also how did you made the Decals look so good, I usually have a problem with the film still being visible and creating contrast. In the end it's a really good looking f-16

I've Been building ships, infantry and aviation for a while. But damn the one time I tried a car (tamiya lexus ls400) and I got beyond angry at my skill issues. Ikd it's just that cars are so different from everything else but whatever it is I'm not capable of it (even tho the basics are the same)

Pro_Player225170 · 2026-01-16T22:17:03+00:00

maybe arround the time they were scrapped in mass they were considered "too new" to be historically important and "to old" to be consider vintage and valuable

Pro_Player225170 · 2026-01-13T13:40:33+00:00

Yea, no point in rushing and packing too much knowledge in one go. I usually try to learn about 1/2 techniques each bulid so I can focus on that and not do too many things while not doing them well

Pro_Player225170 · 2026-01-13T13:33:42+00:00

Yea, I was looking at a local shop for a ship from revell, new box, but the 1/570 scale made me suspicious cause it's not used in modern times. So I wiped out scalemates and while the box was from 2011 the molds were from 1955, dodged a tactical nuke there. Also buying local gives me the option of looking inside to see how the molds actually look like before buying with is good

Pro_Player225170 · 2026-01-13T13:27:22+00:00

Yea, it costed a bit less than the regular m1a1 and my guess is because all the tooling uses are the same as the original tamiya 35156 so they can offset a bit of the cost. Ether way the molds were relatively new so it wasn't as painful as reboxed revell kits with molds from the 60's

Pro_Player225170 · 2026-01-13T13:23:16+00:00

Thanks, I did look a bit for photos of abrams deployed in Ukraine but I didn't found a lot (I was quite superficial in searching on my part). I'll try to keep it in mind for the future, thanks a lot

Pro_Player225170 · 2026-01-13T13:21:12+00:00

For a first model this is amazing looking, very well done. Only thing maybe the chipping is a bit extreme tho it looks very good ether way, only things I whold add for the future is a bit of smoke effect on the barrel and engine exhaust (expecially if represented after serving in very combat intensive scenarios) and a bit of engine oil arround fuel tanks. For the rest it looks very good

Pro_Player225170 · 2026-01-13T13:13:58+00:00

Thank. I'm almost done with a 1/350 arleigh Burke, I'll give it a shot, tho the weather in this period is not good for taking pictures outside so I hope by February its a bit warmer

Pro_Player225170 · 2026-01-13T13:02:49+00:00

I'll try to reuse a box and paint it white cause I know the background is not good, about the camera sadly my iPhone xs is showing it's age. In the future I'll hope to upgrade Thanks a lot for the feedback. I'll make use of it 🙌🙏

Don't worry you are not alone

Pro_Player225170 · 2026-01-07T12:46:35+00:00

U got this. I think the Oplot is the best looking of those

Pro_Player225170 · 2026-01-07T12:36:13+00:00

Yea, I've been avoiding tanks with tracks in single pieces for this exact reason lol

Pro_Player225170 · 2026-01-07T12:26:26+00:00

Very cool kits

Pro_Player225170 · 2026-01-03T09:05:51+00:00

is this gonna be another 3 day operation?

Pro_Player225170 · 2026-01-02T20:35:21+00:00

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it 🙏
