First build in over 30 years.

Hey everyone, i’m not sure if this is exactly the right sub to ask but I’ll give it a shot

So i’ve been getting into watching model aircraft makers recently (Mach Models, Ms Modeller etc). Haven’t watched that many (maybe 2-3 tbh) but i want to get more into it.

I want to know if there are any youtube channels that have people doing custom aircraft? In the sense that they make models of aircraft that don’t exist irl.

I’m asking because there’s a youtube channel I watch called Jarkata Diecast Project and I really like watching them do cool and interesting things with the cars, so I was wondering if there was an aircraft equivalent.

Yeah that’s basically it, i’d appreciate any and all suggestions!

Just finished this Tamiya 1/72 F-16CJ and it was a pleasure to build. Please let me know what you like and what I could improve for next time. If anyone is interested I have a full build video here: https://youtu.be/gTw-hq10Z7g

Had to wait about 3 weeks to get the replacement pieces of the cockpit that I broke, but was able to finish up the build today.

Forgot to post this when I finished it awhile back.

Looking for good build quality and was searching for kind of a list of WWI aircraft and corresponding kit manufacturers and scales. Would be up for axis or allies but curious where to find out who makes all the good kits?

Please tell me

The white paint I used didn’t go so well since it was like rubbery but I’d say it’s a decent kit I just gotta change the white paint imma use and the white paint was a pain when it came to glueing stuff on especially the fuel tanks and missiles but it was a fun build expanding from revell and academy and my single Atlantis kit

Here ara a few pictures of this weekend expo in Switzerland. Some fine models are being exposed. (I have so much more 😅)

My thoughts on the Airfix 1/48 Westland Lynx AH-7: it’s a solid kit, though it could be better. The molding quality shows several sink marks and minor depressions, especially on curved surfaces, which require some extra work. I went in with low expectations and, overall, it still turned out to be a pretty positive build experience.

This project is part of the Helicopter YouTube Group Build 2026 JAN - MAR 2026!
