Its great to see someone doing it like Back in the Day instead of just buying a pile of foam and a cutter! Beautiful work!

Outstanding craftsmanship on this model build, giving me the bug to jump back in

Nice work! That's definitely a beast of a plane. I am finishing up the Top Flight P-15D .60 scale Gold Edition (65" wing) after putting down half built for 12 years. I must say I am enjoying the craft again.

Probably the best video on KZread! Love the music as well.... I have the identical kit; started, but got sidetracked with other planes. This is motivational as well as an excellent build reference, thank you so much!

You guys are truly craftsmen of the first order, well done.

The 42 that gave this splendid video a thumbs down. I really feel very sorry for you all. Jealousy or whatever. I don't know. You are a master builder! Absolutely fantastic.

Nice build job, and ideal sound track for such a mamoth project. Well done, and thanks for sharing.

beautiful building, I have been a carpenter for 50 years and I would struggle to achieve this quality finish, well done been building models for 40 years as well we cannot let this art die lovely

Obviously, a labor of love. Fantastic, thanx for the share.

Beautiful plane and excellent craftsmanship

Great build, great video and good music too. Very good job 👍 👍 👍

Great build and video. Well done!

Fantastic workmanship ! Cheers!

I havent built a plane of that detail,but I built a plank on plank ship called the swift. I remember doing a few rubber band powered planes using the same method of building. I covered it with tissue and plane dope,then paint. I am sure I could tackle one of those but i would prefer covering with the iron on plastic fabric they use today. I remember watching the old timers used some kind of canvas material in the old days,I know you cant even get that material any more. We flew the line control planes back in the 60's and early 70's,there were no foam planes back then. I remember when they first came out,I said there is no way in hell I would buy a foam plane,lol. I have two now and make my own. I prefer electric now over fuel,simply because I dont have a storage place to put that stuff. Its a beautiful plane,would love to see you finish it. why does everyone criticize the music on builds? geesh who cares. Its about the build not the music.

very nice thanks for sharing, great choice of music.

Great Looking Build and super video. Excellent quality. I've been looking at building the same plane.

Beautiful!

Brings back fond memories. Started end of February finished by July. Glassed and painted, BMW Titan Silver. Note, do not use ARF C/G it will be 7/8 inch tail heavy! They are not the same!

loved it . thanks for sharing. nice job on build and video

Excellent craftsmanship! Mine never looked that good...

11:23 how smart is that hatch! Well done

From someone that has built a few scale models, last of which was a 1/4 scale Mr. Mulligan, great job. Really well built.

I wish you could have shown just a few photos of finished product before you shipped it out. Amazing work dear sir. I am impressed!

Nice building !!!

fantastic model bravo

It takes a fair amount of skill to make a great model like this! This is quite an accomplishment !!🤗😋☺🙂

What a great video. Thanks so much for your craftsmanship & such a classic warbird. Is there a followup on it's progression? Thanks again. B.

There is an innate love of building a good kit which produces the best final product as it is built with love and attention to detail.... Despite all of that, thank goodness for ARF's

good job

Amazing just got a new sub

Hi Brenton, As someone new to the building of planes, I wish there was a voice over behind the music talking about the build, with some descriptions to each picture. The pictures showing the build quality were fantastic, but without some explanation of your excellent work, I f/f through to the end. Would LOVE to see some tutorials as to how to do quality builds if you ever decide. Regards.

Sweet build, Brenton... I imagine you got your start let the most of us, with kits. But what I'm really curious about is how the transition to "scratch" building occurred, if there was one.

Boa noite amigo! Parabéns pelo o trabalho.

NICE!!!

Wow! You sir are truly a craftsman. How long did it take to build?

Incredible workmanship on this project. I love working with wood, it's one of my favorite pastimes. I've been contemplating an aircraft of the WWII vintage. This takes a lot of patience and I'm trying to figure it out, do I have the patience to build it? lol. The displays shown above show the price of the kits only, is that correct? Could you advise me on a plane to start with in this 'giant' class? I'd be interested to talk with you about it at your convenience. Thank's for sharing this video, I enjoyed it.

Nice job,can't imagine how much time was spent on it so far

Muy bueno!!!

Looks like it will be a great build. I have a build going on at my channel. Its an old SIG Kwik Bilt Super Chipmunk. If you have time, take a look. Looking forward to seeing how your build turns out.

ahh I feel it... from cutting 1/8" lil plywood sheets to sanding 1" block.. my 60 inch span one took months before I even bought the engine.

I have been out of the hobby for a few years.. I love building as much as flying. Where can you actually get quality build kits anymore. I cant find much anywhere and I am sad this great hobby is dying.. The plane is absolutely beautiful and I hope its still air worthy.

Mowdown I’m a builder too, one option to check out my s Ziroli Plans, there’s companies that make short kits that include all the laser cut parts for their plans. Also a company called Meister Scale, check it out

Fantastic build! The music however, composed and played by Tone Deaf Society??

Beautiful build! The background music is great, who is it?

Were the citizens out bbn pieces as clean as they look in this video or did you sand them before filming

Hello, I am planning to build a top flite airplane too, but there aren't any decent plans for it so I decided to make my own. The question is are the spars strong enough? My plane has about 3 metre wing span, I was thinking about using an aluminum tube, is that excessive?

I wish I would of picked this kit up before they stopped making them. I do have a top flight giant scale p-51 still in the box

GOOD MORNING, what chance is there that you can provide me with the plan for the giant topflite scale p47? I have a kit and I can't find the plan, thank you.

i had one...did the razor back version...flew flawlessly with a Super Tigre 60 in it....it was just enough power to make it fly very realistic...never had that accelerating like a rocket from too big a motor which looks so fake imho.

+Marcos GP One of the hardest parts of building for others is having to give them back when my part is finished. This one was only built to a ready to cover state and then given back to the owner for finishing so i do not have any pictures beyond what you see in the slideshow.

Hola ¿Dónde puedo conseguir los planos de un EMB-314 Super Tucano?

Nice balsa rc plane

I have a question that I am sure may raise some eyebrows but...what the heck! I love P47c Thunderbolts. However, I will never be able to own, let alone afford an original one. Looking at this video it got me thinking. If I were to scale the technical drawings up to between 75%-90%, mount a 300 go radial on it , do you think it would work? Naturally there would be some modifications, but the bulkhead nd longerons may be adequate. I mean, the model is designed to fly.

Very nice job, I made a pair of this too, check my channel. Congrats!
