Building the Revell Monogram A-26 Invader ... Episode 1

great vdo great tricks

Came back to get all the background from the original series, still super informative.

Years ago my uncle told my Dad and I that he had flown an A26 in the Pacific. Are there any sites offering info about his service that don’t cost a lot? Any help is appreciated.

Excellent video!

Very good explanations! You do a very nice job! Also nice to see the A-26 "Hard to get". I flew it from the USA to Holland as a technician in 1999. Great plane!

Although I don't posses your materials or skill I enjoyed this post and appreciate your taking the time to share your technique and and thoughts. Thank you. I liked and subbed.

Jan. 12, 2021----Okay guys....how many of us have said the same thing: been wanting to build this kit since I bought it a long time ago? Me? How about starting in 1974 when I started building models.

Pretty sweet!

Amazing work dear Paul. Absolutely inspiring! Thanks for your fine craft art and humbleness to share your knowledge. Greetings from Chile.

My monograms were B25 and B26, but were balsa except for plastic canopy , engine nacelle fronts, props,wheels, geaar struts . I believe they were called Monogram Speede Built. There were also a series of fighters, F86, F6F, F4U all basically the same.
I lived in Westchester, Ill and around 1954 four F86D`s flew over at around 500 feet in V formation. They probably were based at O Hare Field which was nearly all USAF and little commercial at the time. How things change.

Great video and a lot of help

Awesome intro! Love the vid. Keep 'em coming!

Paul Budzik you could have scratch built a better model quicker than messing with those worthless kits. Its obviously you have the talents to do so!

Rewelacyjny materiał! Pozdrowienia z Polski!

Great video. Love the detail. How did you cut the fuselage?

Some great observations. Glad I found your channel. Subscribed!

You are an artist and a paradigm of patience, Paul. Average modelers such as myself groan at the thought of filling and sanding, but you seem to genuinely relish it. The Invader is a favorite, so this series has been a treat. Many thanks!

Fantástico!!

Your attention to detail is inspiring.

Thank. Keep up the posts.

REALLY helpful and informative - thank you!

Too bad the solid nose version is goofed up. Needs a lot of putty to get it right.

Maestro! Amazing work!

man those were the days building models they used to be so cheap i used to buy more than one at a time

So enjoyed it brother. Seriously thinking about picking up my scalpel and cyano again!

Thank you so much for sharing those very useful techniques, Paul. Excellent explanations throughout!

Your work is truly amazing. I love all your videos and just saw this one. Thank you for taking the time to share your methods

Simply amazing!

I like this format.

hi I just came along your channel and I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent video ! So many tips.... thank you for sharing your knowledge

this will be very interesting build

hi paul, what happen with your channel before? so many great tips & information you remove (deleted). that video is very good and usefull for newbie like me :(

will you upload it again?

Fantastic build video! I love the how-to coupled with the why-to.

Fantastic video! The skill and thoughtfulness you bring to your modeling projects is incredible. Equally impressive and enjoyable is the production quality of your videos. It would be wonderful if you did a "behind the scenes" video summarizing the production of one of your videos ... the design process, equipment used, video editing software used, etc. May I ask which video editing program you use?

Pauly B! Another great video mate. Probably one of your best to be honest. One thing I would love more instruction on is your dental acrylic and CA mixture. I have some of it at home as I was inspired by your other video. How long are you waiting before you start sanding and filing? Also when do you remove the tape? Before it hardens?
Thanks again!

Very well done video. I will reference it when I build my A-26!

Hi, Paul!Excellent tutorial, once again (and your voice's so soothing). Will try out the CA+Dental Acrylic technique, as well as the Apoxie Clay.Have a great New Year's Eve, my mate!Cheers

I always look forward to your videos as there is usually some technique to latch on to. The construction of the fillet is absolutely something I'm going to be using. I've been doing these with thin styrene sheet to mediocre results, this is much more effective.
