FULL VIDEO BUILD TAMIYA P-47D

1/48 Tamiya Republic P-47D Thunderbolt "Razorback"
The P-47 was the first single-seated fighter to be equipped with a supercharger paired with a 2000hp engine, allowing it to fly at the same very high altitude as bombers. The P-47 was armed with eight 12.7mm machineguns. With the P-51 Mustang, the Thunderbolt constituted the main fighters of the US Army Air Force. This is the representation of P-47D early production that was nicknamed "razorback" because of the shape of its upper fuselage behind the cockpit. The P-47D was a high-speed, high-altitude capable fighter and escorted the allied bombers that were conducting raids over Germany. Its 1ton payload and its robustness made the Thunderbolt the perfect aircraft for ground attacking missions...

Dusan, You are a MASTER scale modeler! You remind me of my father who built and filled my childhood ceiling with over 40 aircraft as highly detailed as yours. I was only about 4 when I truly started to understand what he was doing. It was years later that I realized how much work he actually put into them. I did the same for my son when he was about 8, and he is a very good modeler today at 23yrs. I just retired and am returning to this hobby I love so much. Your video not only inspired me, but taught me some new techniques. Thank you so much. I would love to see you build a spacecraft like Apollo Command module or lunar Lander, but I know you do aircraft. Just a thought. Again thanks, your skills are fantastic!!!!

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Wakeman Edwards Thank You very much for Your kind words and Your interesting story! I will try to make some other kits in the near future. All the best!!! Dusan.

I rarely comment on KZbin videos, but this time I must. I've recently returned to scale modelling after a 15+ year absence. Consequently, I have a lot to learn and re-learn. But I have to say that this particular video, to me, is invaluable! The collection of techniques you've performed and documented here (in one short video!) far surpasses everything I have thus far 'liked'. The end result is spectacular, in my opinion! Thank you so much!

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

You are welcome! All the best! Dusan.

[@michaeltruhett4170]

You are Off - The - Charts when it comes to building models. An absolute wizard. It's like you too the real airplane, shrunk it down and "poof" here's my model. You truly are a gifted modeler. As for me, I think I'll start building Lego's from now on instead of models. LMAO! 😂🤣

[@mode1charlie170]

Lots of great tips.........why do you like to use tape instead of clamps for fuselage or wing sections?

[@casousa]

Great work, inspirational for all of us. I hope one day to reach such result. One thing I noticed is your airbrushing technique, flawless! What is the pressure you use in your compressor? I guess it is very low to be able to have such control of the flow. All the best and keep on bringing these wonderful videos!

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Thank You Carlos, I really dont look at the air pressure I am looking all the time at proper viscosity of the paint, If the mixture of the paint is too thick to flow through airbrush smooth, I increase air pressure or add more thinner. (maby around 15psi when using thinned acrylics) All the best! Dusan.

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Yes, gloss coat as a primer for smooth surface ;) All the best! Dusan.

[@gilbertcordina]

Simply perfect....did you clear coat the aluminium with gloss or semi gloss?

Nice build their I at first thought the P-47s were ugly beast but they grew on me and I like the looks of the Razorback ones more than the bubble top P-47D Thunderbolts because of issues in the air it had the same issues as the P-51 D Mustangs at first the Bubble top ones did

[@slammer7520]

Great model! A quick question. Instead of a primer, why did you use a gloss coat ? I'm suffering from the impurities, which show up after i paint the main coat or prime the model. What's the best way to detect / eliminate them ?

[@pyropete1723]

Are you going to do more 1/48 builds and upload videos of it? I'd really like to see more of that, because you're doing a great job!

What an impressive build man. I am just back into modeling after 35 years and you taught me so much in one video. One question, what is the tack paper you used to hold the pieces on while you painted? It really keeps them in place. Thanks and I look forward to watching more of your great videos.

[@wirikuta14]

A couple of questions from a medeller coming back to the hobby after a ten year hiatus: Why do you prime with black? I know it works, but I'm a bit ignorant about it. What airbrush do you use? Incredible airbrush skills friend.

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

The black primer is great base to check panel lines and You dont need a preshading color...Airbrush> Sparmax Sp-35, All the best! Dusan.

[@markwilliams974]

Great video! I like the captions at the bottom. They reinforce the main points without having to listen to unrehearsed chit chat. Question: I got lost on all those silver colors. Did you start off with polished aluminum, then tape off some panels and come back with a different silver tones (i.e. aluminum magnesium, white aluminum, etc)?

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Yes, first P.Aluminium then regular airframe alu... All the best! Dusan.

[@namvet6971]

Beautiful....🤩🤩

[@frankrock3965]

Great video. Is this a 1:16 model? Are larger scales of this same plane available ?

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

This is 1/48th scale. There is a 1/24th scale Kinetic kit. Thanks! All the best! Dusan.

[@jwa94]

Was that alclad polished aluminum paint? It came out beautiful!!

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

+jwa94 Yes! Thanks! All the best! Dusan.

[@laipalskilo]

Awesome build Dusan!! I have a question for you...if you remember...why you did not use regular aluminium instead of the polished one? Isn't the polished one more fragile?? Are these colors Alclad ones?? Thanks anyway!!!

[@xTheRealKestrelx]

This is a better question for aerodynamics -related videos, but is there a reason they used welding on tanks to save weight but not on aircraft panels? They always talk about how much effort they went to flush rivet and whatnot to give better laminar airflow etc .. why did they not weld panels on/down?

[@thierrysellier4633]

Vraiment magnifique ! Bravo !

[@jamesmclachlan4957]

[@monikarakoczy8627]

[@namvet6971]

Why did you spray model with clear first, before applying the silver? Were you doing that instead of a colored primer? Curious....

[@mkii1964]

Great music!

[@pedrodacunhazanato4784]

You are the BEST

[@berkaysezan2697]

Hi I am really impressed by this awesome work. Especially metallic finish. This video contains excellent techniques for me. By the way, I have a question. :) * In general, How much pressure do you work? Especially ( Tamiya's, GSI, X22 clears etc. ) I have been used Sparmax max3 airbrush this is really good stuff. But sometimes I'm having problems with the pressure and paint consistincy. Best regards..

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

+Berkay SEZAN I really dont look at the air pressure I am looking all the time at proper viscosity of the paint, If the mixture of the paint is too thick to flow through airbrush smooth, I increase air pressure or add more thinner. (maby around 15psi when using thinned acrylics) and also for Tamiya paint I almost always use the original thinner for better flow (there is a retarder inside). All the best! Dusan.

[@berkaysezan2697]

+ScaleModelAircraft Sorry for delay Dusan. :( Thank you for your detailed and beautiful descriptions and informations. They help me a lot to airbrushing process. Best regards..

[@nachogonzalez01]

Hey this video is great. Just perfect. I'm back into scale modeling after a while and this is just perfect. Thank you so much. Also I wanted to ask you what technique you use on 10:16. That thing about giving previous coats to the final one. I see it a lot but I can't find the name of that technique and I really wanna look into it. Thank you so much

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Ignacio Gonzalez Ignacio, You are welcome! Technique at 10:16 is optional preparation for alclad paints. First I use fine sand paper to prepare the surface of the model (2000grit)... then I clean the model with thinner or alcohol and I spray entire model with clear/gloss as a primer (Tamiya Clear or Future). If I am happy with the surface, then I can apply the alclad paint... (You can also sand down any imperfections or polish the surface if You like high shine effect...)... All the best! Dusan.

[@nachogonzalez01]

ScaleModelAircraft thanks man!

[@kirknitz4745]

I have made models when I was a lot younger but I want to start over. I have an Anzio Annie kit and I want to learn how to airbrush. Do you have any suggestions?

[@edmachado22]

Excellent job !!!!

[@TheGeezzer]

Professional.

[@MrAlumni72]

I'm curious about why, when you added the small exhaust port at around 3 minutes, you applied the glue to the outside instead of the inside - I see a lot of guys online doing that - applying glue, albeit tiny amounts, to the outside of a model instead of the inside, when there's a risk of crazing the plastic if they mess up. Me, my hands aren't that steady all the time, so this is how I think - but is there a specific reason for doing it that way?

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

+MrAlumni72 Yes, You can use the regular glue inside, but with extra thin cement You dont have problems accessing hard to reach areas ( joining fuselage and wing halves together) and this is a First rate adhesive and viscosity allows you to take advantage of capillary action, it dries quickly and does not destroy surface detail at all! All the best! Dusan.

[@MrAlumni72]

+ScaleModelAircraft Thanks for the helpful information! I haven't built a kit since the late 80s - early 90s and I'm trying to get caught up on what's new before I start up again. These kits now are so expensive I'm afraid of messing up and wasting all that money.
