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.

[@seanbrown3512]

Even 7 years on and your videos are like watching a master class. Thank you!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@paulsawyer2326]

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

[@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 :-)

[@duncanferguson6848]

Superb work David, you make it look so easy.

[@butlersmodellingpaintingan3974]

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

[@karenannew]

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

[@archiemcewen1723]

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

[@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

[@paulflorence3786]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@texasbasementbuilds4543]

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

[@nigeljohnson8022]

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

[@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

[@paulrobison3118]

one word unbelievabie ILL watch anything you build.

[@aoates2249]

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

[@FreakazoidakaBen]

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

[@Smootus]

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

[@erikkunkle9574]

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

[@anthonywendt5834]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@russemerson4872]

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

[@EBS65]

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

[@janbala7185]

Love the Kerbal Space Program music :P

[@fridaycaliforniaa236]

LMAO I'm not alone ^^

[@pedroalbicastrense353]

Very helpful for me thanks

[@Christospap]

Great work David! Best wishes.

[@MrKrc2002]

David, Outstanding Video.

[@cobrawingman]

pleasure to watch

[@userequaltoNull]

Yeah, it's way more pleasurable than sand.

[@smigoltime]

This should be considered as "most satisfying videos"

[@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.

[@lewistaylor1965]

I'd like to see how you did the prop...Very realistic!...Thanks for the vid...

[@mcastesoft]

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

[@martinluerssen9487]

Very nicely done and a an inspiration!

[@duggiebader1798]

mind blowing. thanks for sharing your skills.

[@toequantumspace]

Thanks - very nice build. Absolutely top notch.

[@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.

[@CaptRed-tx8br]

Beautiful work!

[@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.

[@boomerhgt]

Wow amazing work you are a model master love your videos

[@claudiopalaciocampo6258]

Very nice tutorial video pal! Really enjoyed it a lot

[@MightyCrazy]

Awesome work! Thanks David!

[@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.

[@jamesmcgowen1769]

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

[@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

[@stefan-mihaitoma94]

im very sure that you are a painter, you acuracy is amazing

[@juliohernandez6856]

fantastic! I love watching your videos. Great learning tool.

[@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 :)

[@DrengrWolf]

Very clean start! sounds beautiful! :P

[@EduardoMartinez-dm5pp]

i just love watching your videos men!!! you do some heavens work here

[@FAITA2009]

nice. when possible, please show how you chip paint the propeller. tks

[@randypurtteman1183]

Fantastic . How did you ever get the wear on the blade to look so realistic?!!

[@StonyRC]

Beautiful job.

[@yycflyguy789]

Another great video!👍🏼

[@richardlechinois8236]

wow wow wow 100/100 you are incredebille tanks for you amazine works from a friend from quebec canada.

[@richelias2973]

Always excellent

[@ijsbrandvr]

before I forget. your video's are great!!! and help me very much!

[@JohnSmith-yb6sd]

Very good video and instruction

[@mileskessler6634]

I’ve never thought of using my airbrush to start up a prop, but I have used fans.

[@captainyamato4252]

Great video you got me wanting to build a model spitfire

[@ecosurfshop]

Another great video - thanks again

[@james19912910]

This guy is good at it.

[@ijsbrandvr]

eh, I mean with 1:10 is 1 part thinner to 10 parts paint, I use standard vallejo thinner for Airbrush. but my dad thinks it is the water I use before painting is the problem. Do you first clean your Airbrush by spraying water through it? (also after I've fully cleaned the Airbrush with Airbrush cleaner because the water will take away all the excess cleaner and vaseline)

[@gryf8531]

Very nice.Thanks for this tutorial cause i have the tamiya 1/32 f4u-1a corsair.I think this can help me for make a more realistic engine.

[@kurk1701a]

stellar craftsmanship bravo!!!!!.

[@chiripitio]

Excelente vídeo amigo , Ud es el mejor !!!!

[@duncangranifo666]

I love your videos, good job ;D

[@sjoerdn3076]

Very impressive!

[@g.oliverburnssr.8115]

Superb Tutorial

[@criscoulter4405]

Nice build! Keep it up

[@aiperlink]

Always great video a david. Thanks.

[@alejandrosienra2179]

Excellent moi!!🌠🛩️

[@ewrlon]

question; do you anneal the photo etch wires before installing? This is heating the brass to make it easier to bend. Adding explaination only because I know English is not your first language.

[@sunrisesurfbum]

Really nice but a lot more to it here than anyone thinks!

[@kevinhedrich6026]

Love your videos!

[@ijsbrandvr]

oh, a bit more explanation;-) I have tried everything (changing pressure, amount of thinner etc) and I am sure that is not the problem, it is for all when I spray close to the model so I'm not able to spray details etc

[@jackpreston8762]

David, thank you..

[@stoobieman]

Please, please, please show how you did the propeller. It is extraordinary. btw Prague is magnificent.

[@ezequielgonzalez132]

great work, man, is amazing. could you do A video, teaching us how make that effect "old" in the propeller?

[@TheKillerjohny]

Krásná práce.

[@johncroucher6053]

Wonderful David :)

[@TheModelGuy]

Pretty sure if you add fuel that thing will run. Amazing work

[@DEVASTATOR478]

little masterpiece

[@alexanderebert4646]

Awesome Tutorial 🙂 well done

[@surijantosantoso2185]

Love it! Thanks for sharing.

[@boon1580]

wouldnt it look alot nicer if u paint the engine before assembly?

[@stevenchadbone552]

Nice work as always, and it even starts 1st try. :-)

[@kamilelfray5580]

Looks like bigger project is coming? are you gonna upload small series of techniques used with one model? like with Fw, Mess and Spitfire?

[@rdiazriadi]

Awesome tutorial!

[@bpezzano1]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

[@dadrebo8909]

buen aporte muy detallado

[@phayzyre1052]

Beautiful!!!

[@steveminla]

Very nice tutorial, with lots of good tips for even making the kit part look good! Oh...WHAT kind of drill are you using here(2:58)!??
