How to paint radial engine. 1/48 R-2800-31 Eduard - F6F hellcat - Great Guide

[@captainzappa8561]

I have been building plastic models now for 52 years I started when I was 10. I never had the confidence to paint small parts such as bolts on a 1/48. Watching all of your videos inspired me. I got a cheap fine point brush and just dived in. To my surprise I’m actually pretty good at it. I would have never tried unless I had watched all your great videos - OLD DOGS CAN LEARN NEW TRICKS. Thanks David keep making great videos and I’ll keep watching them.

[@BrookieCooki84]

Stunning work as always David! Any aircraft modeller that says he has never used his airbrush to make a prop spin is a liar.

[@pouletbidule9831]

I actually never tried

[@lookout24]

I've been watching your movies for a while now and as an former plastic model builder I must admit, your workshop is simply stunning. Your creativity and skills are very high and while there are very good plastic models out there, as well as very skilled modellers, you have it all - the knowledge, the feel of aesthetics, respect and love to history. Thank you for sharing your work!

[@erikkunkle9574]

The rust looked so real, I got tetnas watching you.

[@SirRathalos]

wow, awesome! I've got to paint 4 of these on a 1/48 B-24 so this video helps a lot, but your pure talent still amazes me! Keep up the great work! Thanks

[@idaemonplasmo]

Thanks and good luck. You will need a lot of patience :-D

[@amuxpatch2798]

you should be a watchmaker, the way you assembled and painted the Hellcat engine.

[@jirimikel1252]

Davide bomba jako vždy. Na každé tvoje video se moc těším.Vracím se k modelařině po skoro 25 letech a s úžasem sleduju,kam se to všechno posunulo. každopádně díky za inspiraci,to je studijního materiálu na celý život :-)

[@way2sh0rt07grad]

I had the great pleasure to work on one of the real ones and test bench it. Clicked cause I’m building a 1/16 Camel and the Britannia casting is sub par so I’m looking at ideas to mask the seams and bring some life to it. Thanks!

[@butlersmodellingpaintingan3974]

Excellent, loved the bit with the engine starting as well.

[@archiemcewen1723]

Wow! When I see this I am blown away. So much detail!

[@karenannew]

Love the finish - including sound effects. Thanks for the video.

[@nigeljohnson8022]

Resin engine looks fantastic and far more detail than the plastic version. Love the rust effects on the exhausts.

[@paladinlv1]

Great video! Thank you for posting! I really liked the engine startup.

[@DaiElsan]

I needed to see this. I've got 4 to paint up for a 1/48 B17. I'm using OOB engine but know this can be made to look better than it comes. Thanks for the video.

[@paulflorence3786]

David, This video was very well done and extremely helpful. Thank you

[@paulsawyer2326]

Incredible job on the detail, especially on the exhaust pipes. Nice job!

[@bruceboatwright7488]

Well done, again. I envy your steady hands, my hand/eye coordination isn't what it used to be, but you inspire me to try harder and be patient. Good music too! Bruce

[@reconranger1370]

Hey PLASMO: Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your build videos. I have picked up some good model building tips from them. Thank you very much for sharing your model building skills!

[@STEAMBOLTANNIE]

I have bought the resin kit and extras for the boeing 17 g cant wait to do the painting...Thank You for this video..it helps lots...CHEERS

[@duncanferguson6848]

Superb work David, you make it look so easy.

[@paulrobison3118]

one word unbelievabie ILL watch anything you build.

[@texasbasementbuilds4543]

As always thanks for your time doing these little movies..I know how much time it takes..

[@janbala7185]

Love the Kerbal Space Program music :P

[@fridaycaliforniaa236]

LMAO I'm not alone ^^

[@aoates2249]

Love your dedication - pure expertise and skill . thank you for your video :)

[@cjcar63]

Thank you David for this great video. I will be starting a new build soon, (Hasegawa 1/32 Mitsubishi Zero), and this will certainly help make for a more realistic finished model.

[@smigoltime]

This should be considered as "most satisfying videos"

[@Smootus]

Good job and thanks for detailed instructions on radial engine painting and weathering.

[@cobrawingman]

pleasure to watch

[@userequaltoNull]

Yeah, it's way more pleasurable than sand.

[@russemerson4872]

As with all your videos, that's just plain beautiful work.

[@hellfox7777]

No kamaráde ty si strašný frajer veru! Úplná dokonalosť ! Znova nemám slov... proste vždy onemiem keď pozerám ako to dokážeš dokonale vyšperkovať. Och kiež by moje modely vyzerali aspoň z polovice tak dobre ... čo z polovice aj z osminy by mi to stačilo :D Fakt krásna práca! Neskutočne super!

[@idaemonplasmo]

Wow moc díky. Stačí dodržet postup a určitě to zvládneš ještě lépe.

[@rocko112camaro]

Great informative video. To get chipping effect for bare metal (silver). I have been using a Sharpie - permanent marker - Silver metallic. You can make nice paint chipping effect. Also if you make a mistake you can use thinner to fix/clean the area. The Sharpie metallic marker (brass, gold, copper, silver) are very handy and easy to use for metal effects. Just sharing information since you do a lot of sharing your work.

[@idaemonplasmo]

Thanks, I will try it.

[@anthonywendt5834]

Great stuff. Appreciate you showing us how you do your craft.

[@FreakazoidakaBen]

Very nice video with great technique. You are an inspiration. Greetings Ben.

[@orcasea59]

Beautiful work! The only think I could possibly suggest is that the intake pipes from the supercharger might have been slightly discolored from heat, but most likely a blueish discoloration, whereas the exhaust pipes would have definitely had rust. Also (I once worked overhauling radial engines, specifically the ignition systems) the high-tension spark leads from the magnetos are a heavy, grease-resistant black rubber. Other then that, awesome work!!

[@idaemonplasmo]

That will be good for my next models. Thanks for the info.

[@EBS65]

Great work. I always have trouble working with photo etched parts and this is fantastic

[@janhansen3753]

Omg. Was boring at start (My first time here). But like a good book it got more and more exiting. And what a result, amazing job :)

[@CH4NNELZERO]

Just amazing. Such skill; it's truly a pleasure to watch. Thank you very much for inspiring me and (this might sound cheesy ..) giving me hope in the human spirit.

[@davidmcmanamy1386]

Another amazing job my friend, and I believe this guide is great for all modelers everywhere. Keep up the great work. PS Are we going to get to see the plane that this engine is going in? :-)

[@idaemonplasmo]

Thanks. The engine is from f6f hellcat and sometimes I will build it.

[@martinluerssen9487]

Very nicely done and a an inspiration!

[@mcastesoft]

You are a genius!! I love to learn with your techniques!!! Thanks!!

[@duggiebader1798]

mind blowing. thanks for sharing your skills.

[@DEVASTATOR478]

little masterpiece

[@matetochips7927]

i love ur videos and i think u are a great model builder. I admire that u have so many subs just for a model building chanel. The only thing is i don't understand a thing u say to be honest

[@richelias2973]

Always excellent

[@toequantumspace]

Thanks - very nice build. Absolutely top notch.

[@jamesmcgowen1769]

Thank you! Very informative and very entertaining! 😂 great soundtrack also. Very well done.

[@michaelmontefusco896]

Nice tutorial! The only info I would like to pass on is that exhaust systems don't normally rust that heavily on active aircraft. Thye are normally pretty well preserved with oil and such.

[@Christospap]

Great work David! Best wishes.

[@busabkickinbutt]

Fantastic! Love all your videos!

[@idaemonplasmo]

Great to see this !

[@aiperlink]

Always great video a david. Thanks.

[@RoosterG33rs]

Fantastic

[@328Watcher]

As always a great video. I must admit that I find that PE wiring looms are too two dimensional so I always end up replacing them with wire.
