Thank you for your comments and to all subscribers. I'm looking forward to getting my next build up asap!

Excelente montagem, jeito simples de executar a montagem e com efeitos incríveis. Parabéns, lindo modelo.

I read "Thunderbolt," by Robert S. Johnson, in late '71 or early '72, when I was in elementary school. Since then it has been my favorite aircraft. I think I've built about a half-dozen of them in the years since, in scales from 1:72 through 1:18, and larger flying models. I still don't have one on the shelf. There's something wrong with that, I think. You did a beautiful job on this one!

Excellent build, I use the AK Extreme metals and they are excellent. Some report that its fragile, but after a day or two I find the stuff is rock solid and never had it rub off on me.

Excellent build and enjoy the format; no talking, the right amount of comments and good editing. I have been building planes for many years now but when I see a video from I can learn something , I’m an immediate fan. Got a subscriber from me. Keep up the good work ( hope you like modern jets).

@Ross Anderson Hi. Thanks for the comment. It's a Bartsharp SB04. It's a really good size and the extraction power and lighting are really good. Fan speed is adjustable! 👍

Well done! I just finished the P-47M

Amazing video. Some new painting and building techniques I’ve never seen before 👌🏻. I love the fact you keep in the mistakes you made along the building process... it makes me optimistic that I could eventually make a model as fine as this 😂

love the build and the finnished model but the overlapping music gave me ptsd

I love building the Tamiya models because the kits are very precise and molded so well. Unfortunately I can’t do 1/48 because of my eyes. Too small. I do the 1/32 kits.I’ve done the Mustang, Corsair, and zero kits. You did a good job on that Jug.

Lovely job, Just need to add the rubber strip colour at the bottom of the sliding canopy there is even a panel line on the canopy to guide you.

Very nice job. As an oldie newbie to this obvious craft, I now am learning modeling includes understanding not just the mechanics of cutting fitting and gluing (what kind of glue did you use?), but paint and finishes and coatings and brushes and and and....... I look forward to seeing more of your work, thanks!

Great build. Some panel lines on the real thing were lighter due to wear vs the center portions thet could warp inwards.

You did a great job! Looks fantastic. Loved the chipping. Watching you post shade all I could think of was “wow he’s got a steady hand”.

The finish/weathering on that model is really well executed, an inspiration, thanks..

Great build. Good to see that you include your mistakes and thoughts during the build sequence. Fantastic looking model 👍

Отличная работа!Браво!!!

Высший уровень, профессионально, творчески и это очень хорошая мотивация для меня!!! 👍👍👍👍

Let this be a warning: Wiping down with alcohol is an important step. Except in my case, I primed with Mr Color Black and then left the primed plane in the garage for a few days before spraying the aluminum. This ruined the plane because the primed surface had something on it - probably pollen. I am starting a fresh kit this week as a result. Holding the fuselage with a paintbrush is also a great move, since it means you can paint both the topside and the underside in one session. Quality control during priming and aluminum coats is critical. Great video!

Lovely build, I'll have to dig mine out of the stash this year but mark it up in RAF SEAC markings, thanks for the kick up the arse to give me the mojo again!

Nice. I now know how to do the "chipping" to give it the realistic aircraft look. Thanks

OUTSTANDING, really like the bomb casting details, brilliant.

Un trabajo impresionante. Me gusto mucho tu trabajo con la pintura, lástima no pude ver algunos detalles porque había partes donde había mucho reflejo, pero definitivamente aprendí mucho. Gracias por compartir, este avión es mi próximo proyecto, solo que es un Monogram.

Excellent, Looks great, I built mine with the checkered nose.

Your builds are amazing. Absolutely stunning detail, presentation, craftsmanship, and love. I’m hooked!

You are an artist! I made very basic models as a kid, and you blew me away with your patience, skill, and knowledge! It was a pleasure watching you work! Or can you even call it work?!?!? ; )

Beautiful work. I need to start working on models again. Haven’t built one in years.

The only thing that bothered me was that it can be made to look so easy and I know how hard it really is. Nice work!

You make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing your talent.

Thanks - great build

Absolutely fantastic looking model! Now, I have a question - how does someone becomes a model builder like this? Besides the time that is required ofcourse. Where do I start? I keep finding these amazing builds and I feel like I'm getting overwhelmed before even starting my own. But I deffinitely want to try to make something. Thanks for inspiration and all the best from Belgrade, Serbia.

Fiquei com vontade de entrar e sair pilotando. Parabéns !

Thanks for showing your mistakes as well as the good stuff. Well done.

Amazing..!!!

Un nuevo suscriptor desde España! Great job!

Great model - love that kit.

Super, Congratulations and thank you

Great work with superb weathering! Really stunning. But why does the airscrew, as the most moving part, look like brand new when the whole aircraft is totally worn? There should be heavy chipping on the leading edge of all 4 blades. The airscrew will catch up dirt and gravel from the bottom of the provisional airfields... Keep going!

great work, that looks fantastic

I really like how you approached the NMF and weathering; very informative. An appealing alternative to Alclad2...

Very nice build indeed! 👍🏼 Personally I don’t dip my canopies because if you check out period photos of operational warbirds with high flying hours the canopies are never crystal clear and high gloss. They’re scratched, sometimes hazy, and abraded by the ravages of constant handling and flight.

Good point! There is an argument for spending quite a bit of time weathering the canopy glass as well as the rest of the model. Thanks for the comment.

Beautiful result. Never bothered with a P-51 build but there's something aqbout the "Jug" that draws me to it. Actually most radial-engined WW2 palnes look very appealing to me.

Great build. All the classics get represented but I'm wanting some of the more uncommon planes. A Curtiss-Wright Ascender would be cool.

I saw a P-47D at the Air Zoo in Kalamazoo Michigan yesterday. Watching this video is making me want to order the Tamiya kit and built it to match the one that was on display.

Nice chipping paint effect !

Beautiful build

Very nice job on this. It looks fantastic!

I'm 70 years old and of course built models when I was a kid in the 1950's and 60's. I came across an online catalog of model kits recently and I was SHOCKED to see the price's for some of these kits. No wonder kid's don't build model's any more.

Beautiful...exquisite modeling all through the process. I’ve got two bubble tops waiting to be built. Really loved the inspiring video!

Wow that was impressive. Just starting out in the hobby and it’s great to see what can be done. Even if atm it is way above my skill level. You must get great satisfaction out of doing models to such a high level. Subscribed for more...

Awesome Video Tutorial Sir...Inspiring! Thank you

Wow incredible 👍

Another awesome model keep them coming.

Great job, mate! The result is ultra realistic!

Nice job. A little chipping on the prop or repaired canon/bullet holes to indicate why it has a new prop. Every warbird has a story, that's why they are personalized with nose art and driver and RIO name as applicable. I like your presentation, thanks.

Beautiful techniques, and a wonderful result. Cheers!

Amazing work.

Beautiful work and I’m glad the YT algorithm showed this to me. Question for you though, is there a reason you left the lower wing decals covering two and a half of the casing ports on each wing?

Did you have any issues with the Xtreme Polished aluminum wiping off in places? I can't get it to stay on edges in some areas.

@ScaleModelShed

Yeah its not great for that is it, you would expect more durability from an enamel, it doesn't seem to cure 100%. It sprays beautifully and looks great. I varnished over the top of it, that sorts any danger of it wiping off. Thanks for subscribing.

I tried to build aircraft in 1/72, but all of them aside from my Lancasters had poor fit and the issue of the landing gear collapsing (they were all Revell kits). So I'm interested in doing 1/48 instead, and doing Tamiya kits.

Nicely done. I’m just getting back into scale models. Been dabbling in n scale model railroading and it’s made me miss all my aircraft and tank models. Hmmm 🤔, 122 likes and one thumbs down. That person probably doesn’t build anything. Cheers 🍻

Simply stunning 👏👏👏

Very cool build! Love the results. Just enough chipping and weathering. Thanks for sharing. Happy days and model on! 😎🇨🇦

How long before you can spray clear coats on the AK metal? I used mr hobby on Alclad and it darkened and trashed the metal paint.

Its a very nice build and I enjoyed watching. Two comments, 1 Radial Engines always leak oil... 2 Most invasion stripes were painted by hand with brushes so sharp lines were rare in them.

Very. Very nice.

When using the glass solution before u dip the canopy do you clear coat with vanish to protect the paint first?

Amazing work. Meanwhile, ten year old me had one tube of glue, a few bottles of Testor's paint and one brush. Lol. like rubbing two sticks together to get fire.

Very nicely done. Very fun to watch. That is some very nice metallic paint there.

very nice, would like to see a pilot as well

WoW! I wish I had half your skill! Awsome built and painted man!

I have been useing tape to mask my Canopus and clear part since the 70 I have yet to use a masking set. I have a 1/48 avenger I'm doing and ordered a mask kit for that it has many odd shaped glass.

Awesome, friend!

👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 nice build!

Great job, love your work. Will you be making a video of an F15 C 48 scale any time soon? Got an Hasegawa kit I bought about 20 years ago, and only painted the pilot and that was it. Need some inspiration. 😄

Do you think the dark aluminum sprayed lighter because it went onto an aluminum base coat whereas the aluminum went onto the black base coat?
