[@machmodels]

Thank you very much Brett… looking forward to seeing you take this one on😉

[@machmodels]

Thanks buddy!

[@kieranhorsfield9113]

Such an amazing build! I am loving that cast iron texture on the bombs it just makes them look so so much better adding that finishing touch!!! You should be very proud!! 😁

[@machmodels]

Thank you very much sir! A simple yet effective technique that ol bomb trick… I am rather proud of this one I must say😉

Luke, Use a razor saw to cut in the diamond pattern after sanding the seams. Works like a charm! See you in the shop! Bob

[@machmodels]

Cheers Bob! I’ll make sure to try it out for next time😉

[@andrewtenn923]

Really informative video Luke. You narrate very clearly & love mention of the specific paints used. Returning back to the hobby, I'm afraid I have no clue where to start with the plethora of choices so that was super helpful. Also heads up on the "trickiest" parts are good to know. You’ve convincded me that I selected a gr8 kit. And though the paint scheme looks challenging, I'm ready to give it a go as a) it's unique and b) will teach me a lot of techniques. Many thx...great job!!🙌🙌👌

[@machmodels]

Thank you very much for the comment! Best of luck returning back into the hobby, let me know how you get on😉👌🏻

[@scaleffect]

Have to agree it looked a bit painful to button up that engine in the cowl, with its challenges on fit on top of that. Great result, a fine addition to your collection to be sure. Thanks for sharing your hard work

[@machmodels]

Thank you very much for the comment, it was worth the minor headaches!!

[@robbo1068]

I decided to jump ahead and watch your latest offer.....an amazing build and a huge improvement on the earlier models (which are pretty good IMO). You certainly have learned a lot and added to your skill set. It was a pleasure watching this build but I'm jumping back to 2023 to catch up. I've watch the Anson build (great job!) and will be tackling the Mosquito next 👍

[@machmodels]

Haha thank you very much! It should be interesting to watch the progress through the other videos😉

[@paulcorrigan649]

Superb work Luke. The scheme is painted brilliantly and it looks like miniart are branching out really well

Pahahaha good man! Sometimes planes just do that us🤣🤣🤣

[@freemanreed5228]

Good Job!!!! Excellent interior. Another color to look at is bronze green for the interior. I think that is actually the appropriate color. I do nearly the same thing and get just the right color modulation, when I am doing my cockpits. Model Master used to make European Dark green that was close to a bronze green for the interior and main landing gear, that was also painted on P-47's. Again, great job.

[@machmodels]

Thank you very much! I’ll have to try find that colour for next time, really appreciate the comment😉

[@kenhanson1819]

Fantastic build! I really enjoy the effects the Ammo Shaders can give. I used them on a Hurricane build and was impressed.

Well done Sir ! Greetings from Chile again

[@cuck_destroyer9204]

As a schilling expert , you’ve done a great job. Getting the perfect amount of feathering on the camo. One note , this aircraft had invasion stripes under one wing only on the “early version” which this depicts . The “late “ version had a wing replacement and that wing which had previously had invasion stripes, was then NMF on the lower side . Other than that , super job.

[@machmodels]

Thank you for the great comment! I was blindly following the Miniart paint scheme unfortunately, next time I visit a “Schilling Scheme” I’ll bare this in mind😉

[@ChristianSchroter]

Hello mr. Mach. I had alot of fun watching,and i love your narration. Nice when you have no background music so i can fully concentrate on the content.a awesome job you did building that ww2 icon.keep up the good work and keep the Faith.

Hahaha thank you buddy! I’ll see if I can sort it out🤣

[@fhbooker]

Another great job. Something I've found you can use big standard electrical tape for curves masking. Loads cheaper than the model companies 👍

[@machmodels]

Thank you very much! Very good idea, I’ll try it out!

[@richardjordan5036]

As far as the corrugated floor it would depend on the manufacturer. Alot of manufacturers in the mix.plug wires were in a tan most of time and that depends once again on the manufacturers.they pre manufacturer parts from other parts of the country so when it got to the assembly line they could whip out a plane in record time.other then that,I enjoy your builds.keep up the great job......

The best way to do the cowling on this kit is to cement the cowling pieces together and then slide the enigine in through the back

[@Octopootie1]

I read someone say they first glued the engine to the fuselage. Glued the cowling parts together in a specific order I can't recall. Then slid the cowling over the engine. I'm thinking I might try this on mine when I get to it

[@machmodels]

Very good idea, not too sure if I’ll make this kit again anytime soon but if I do I’ll try it out!😄

[@Octopootie1]

@@machmodels I won't be surprised if there's an aftermarket one piece cowling that comes out at some point. I've got a 3d printer I wouldn't mind printing my own. If only I could manage to design it myself I would, but I'll have to wait for someone with 3d modeling skills instead.

[@Henrywinswars]

Ive been waiting for this! Looks very impressive. Where did you get that circle cutter?

Pahaha nice spot! I’ll try sort it now, many thanks☺️

[@brettpeacock9116]

AFAIR the change from corrugated to smooth floors actually came DURING D-25 production. Only the last 30 or so had the flat floor, the others had the earlier, corrugated floor. Tamiya's kit also has the early floor where the M kit has the correct flat floor on a new sprue, as well as the early floor on the standard sprues. Except for 30 odd late D-25s, Miniatures is right...😢

[@machmodels]

Thanks for the confirmation! Really appreciate the comment😉👌🏻

[@nathanlunev8187]

wait you only have 11k subs? i thought you had more!

[@danielbear9183]

Amazing video and model. I'm just returning to modelling making, which gloss varnish did you use to seal the decals before weathering? Is it a water based one? That resists the heavy alcahol thinners? Please help haha!

[@machmodels]

Thank you very much sir! For sealing in the decals I used GX100 Gloss from Mr Hobby, it is a lacquer so it’s pretty darn resistant to most things… but I have used VMS gloss varnish before which is an acrylic and that has worked perfectly! Hope that helps👌🏻☺️

[@xWILZTAx]

Hi mate, i already have an airbrush for priming and large areas but looking for something exclusively for fine detail such as, panel lining, pre-shading, freehand camo and stuff like that. I ideally under £200 and a great trigger being the most important factor. I dont have the opportunity to try before i buy either. Thanks alot.

[@machmodels]

Hey buddy! The procon boy as used in the video I think will be the perfect option for you, be sure to get the 0.2mm version as that allows for nice super fine line applications. The trigger is buttery smooth and allows you to feel completely in control. I use it on other videos on the channel like the Bf109 if you want to see it in action a little more👌🏻😉

@@machmodels thanks for reply, i appreciate it. Can you tell me the model number as i think theres a few different models. Cheers.

Did P-47s have no exhaust stains, refueling stains, oil stains or paint wear?

[@machmodels]

Very fair point sir! I did paint some exhaust stains on it off camera but you are right, no oil stains on this one… I didn’t want it to conflict too much with the job that I did on the camo. Apologies if you think it degrades the build!😄👌🏻

[@AVgeek91]

Wait, if this is the basic version, how insane is the advanced version…

[@Octopootie1]

The advanced version mostly gives you the parts to display the whole engine with the cowling off, and the gun bay doors open

[@machmodels]

Haha great comment… as mentioned in the reply it’s just lots of extras!!

[@girolamolorusso]

nice build but, there was some mistake. the cockpit was in bronze green , not interior green. the undersurfaces was in natural metal and not grey. the P-47 was in NMF. I'll made model the same for Miniart …
