A6M3 Mitsubishi EXPLOSION & FIRE EFFECTS FULL BUILD Tamiya 1/48

Bjorn Jacobsen's Book is wonderful and i applied the techniques and used the materials mentioned in his book HOW TO MAKE EXPLOSIONS & FIRE IN A DIORAMA.
This also coincides with my First Japanese Aircraft Build with full research and interviews with historian Mr. Tony Feredo about the aircrafts and the different campaigns of the Japanese Forces during the Philippine Occupation in WW2.
The Tamiya Instruction Sheet Color Callouts is 75% inaccurate.

Le réalisme est vraiment saisissant. Le panache de fumée est plus vrai que nature et donne à l’ensemble un mouvement ultra réaliste. Un Grand bravo Yvan. Super classe comme d’habitude. Salutations de France.

[@scalemodellingjapan7609]

Thank you for showing how you do the spinning prop. It looks easier then what I imagined. I have just been experimenting with putting the clear plastic on a drill and touching the spinning disc with a paint brush. It look crappy unfortunately. Quick question about this - what colour do you like to use and what proportion of thinner was added?

[@IvanTheTerrible911]

Your most welcome. A good many have asked me about this spinning prop. I finally decided to include it here. Color for prop? Thinner will depend on the paint brand because they differ in viscosity/thickness. For Tamiya acrylic paints i normally 25% alcohol 75% paint. For War paints (local) brand 50/50.

[@seanliao5139]

Beautiful work!! And the decal on her fuselage said itself. "報國" means to sacrifice for the country!

[@julianmroc3648]

Yes I agree, beautiful work and nice model. But decal in fact means: I kill to unknown people and risk my life only for the interests and ego of my country's politicians (it is ALWAYS this)

[@NanatsukiBenio]

yes HOUKOKU ~ it's early A6M3 in Early smoke yellow grey scheme so those were common 報國 delivered planes

[@IvanTheTerrible911]

Thank you for these inisghts and exchanges of opinion. I am learning a great deal already. Cheers to you all guys.

[@pineshobbies4409]

OUTSTANDING WORK ITT !! Question: can the light source be hooked up to a 9V battery ?? Also did you do a lite weathering job on this one ??

[@IvanTheTerrible911]

Yes a 9V battery will do provided the light bulb fits the 9V requirement. As you see, the 3V led light i used there was without mishap. I burnt several already because the voltage was higher than 3V. Just be careful when selecting the led or light bulbs and make sure 9V is the voltage required. Hope this helped. Cheers. No weathering on the light bulbs but i did airbrush the cotton.

[@DavidRLentz]

Overall, excellent! Yours is the best smoke simulated with cotton I have seen! The lighting expertly creates the bright illusion of fire, too. As for the transparent disk in lieu of the propeller, from my own recent experience (I readily concede that am no expert!), no, it does not work; only motorising the model, as well as supplanting the prop with a sturdier metal replacement (the torque of the rotation over time can warp the polystyrene blades out of place) would be visually convincing. Your technique for mounting the model "airborne" obviating a visible stand-- this is expressly why I have come to examine your work--also would enable one to mask from view the electrical leads of the LEDs, motor, etc.

[@IvanTheTerrible911]

Hi David my friend. Thank you very much. I agree with you on the rotating props. Would hopefully do a rotating prop engine build one of these days. As always glad for your support.

[@DavidRLentz]

@@IvanTheTerrible911 , thank you twice, for your prompt response, and your feedback. I told others about your airborne aircraft models, and your innovative means to present them.

[@tjmmodelcraft8486]

That's incredible dude. I also like how you cover the seams with stretched sprue.

[@IvanTheTerrible911]

Many thanks mate. Ive tried so many ways to cover the seams from super glue to water based putty. I prefer stretched sprues and water based putty. It lessens surface damage from sanding. Cheers.

Awesome job!....some damage and/or bullet holes would really set it off!

[@IvanTheTerrible911]

Hello Galen, Yup i agree with you entirely. I really had a hard time making that decision to ante up the realism but alas my desire to keep the original model as decent and "clean" held me back for posterity as i will be removing the effects later on for static display. Thank you for that insight sir. Please help support my fledgling channel. Cheers.

[@joelhouser2911]

Suggestion... Add bullit holes & tone down cotton fuzz.🤔

[@IvanTheTerrible911]

Hello Joel. Yes will do in future projects. Appreciate the suggestion. Thanks for the support.

[@mestapho2011]

good job on the moving prop.. most people fail at this aspect of the model. i did the same thing when i did in 3d back in the day.. modern gaming still makes this mistake.

[@IvanTheTerrible911]

Gee thanks on the moving prop. A good many have asked me how to do it so i shared it to help their future projects.

[@bobross7694]

I was wondering, is there any way to get a similar planeload effect without an airbrush?

[@IvanTheTerrible911]

Hello Mr. Ross. I have seen a few modelers doing decent paint work just by hand painting their models. Though, airbrushing can deliver that transition look from one paint to another hand painting can't. I'm sure you will do wonders without the airbrush. Cheers. Pls support the channel and thanks.

[@IvanTheTerrible911]

Hello Roman. Keep your head high my friend. We all came from the beginner level. In fact i am my own worst critic. I still see my works as amateurish compared to my KZbin Colleagues here. WE all just have to go through our own learning curves. Try to attend workshops, watch youtube vids, join a local IPMS or local clubs, read articles and books. I am sure in no time you'll be winning awards too. I believe in your skills believe in yourself as well mate. Thank you and see you again.

The back story is that this At6M3 was in midflight take off when it was hit by a diving P-38 during one of the Island Battles in the New Guinea Campaign 1942-43. As in the Battle of Lae as an example, most of the Japanese Zero were hit on land and were not able to successfully launch aircrafts to do battle with the US Aircrafts. Thank you also. Cheers.

That was great work but after all that work you have put a small motor for the propeller would have been better than the disk.

Hello John. Thanks for your input. I didn't know if i was boring people with a lot of "usual" stuff already seen in other channels, so i tend to hasten the video a bit.
