This video is about some sort of stopmotion assembling the P-51D Mustang, yellow nose, in 1/48 scale from Hobby Boss. Since I tried to compare the kit to the recent eduard P-51D royal class kit, I added some aftermarket parts to the kit:
- Eduard interior, No.: 49603
- HGWmodels/Eduard seatbelts, No.: 148003
- Aires "Wheel bay set with doors", No.: 4613
- Alutubes from Albion Alloys
- Rubber thread from Uschi van der Rosten
- Quickboost Resin Propeller
The eduard P-51D is manufactured with rivets and bolts. I managed the riveting with "Rosie the Riveter" tool from Dousek Riveters.
I achieved the bare metal look with - for me - a new type of acrylic colors: KColors from custom paint industries.
Music: Walking to Reality, Unicorn Heads

I love that it's not over weathered, just a few subtle effects! It looks great.

[@TomGrigat]

I'm pleased to hear 😊

[@behappyynot]

Fabulous presentation, must have taken hours and hours,

[@Vespuchian]

Utterly mad respect for not only creating unnecessarily beautiful stop-motion animations but that that extra step of listing your supplemental parts and paints. As always a joy to watch, thank you.

[@TomGrigat]

I thought it was a nice service to show how to pimp up the kit...

[@rc-fannl7364]

I've always been a fan of stop motion, and it really makes this build even more special.

[@rricos151]

I could never have such patience nor skill but I'm glad you've helped me imagine the work as close to perfection can be I'm happy with that. Great visual as expected from top to bottom. So the background music is so great too

[@TomGrigat]

Thank you very much 😊

[@rricos151]

I just love the way it is all synchronized to the every move, just seems like it's so easy but in reality, it's just time and patience. Ty very much for this. Love the way it came out.

[@cudathehawgjetfixer7520]

Nice work, but most people do not know that NAA (North American Aviation) filled the rivets and panel lines on the wings to make them more aerodynamically efficient only the gun servicing doors were not puttied over because of they were opened and closed routinely, so the use of the riveting tool was not needed especially on the lower fuel tank skins on the bottom of the wings. Just and FYI (I've have been on a restore team on a few P-51's & A-26's)

[@2-Hands]

3 things I found Wrong with this build. #1. Landing Gear is on BACKWARDS, the Scissors are supposed to face the Rear. #2, The "D/F Loop" was only used on Pacific/Asia P-51D's. #3. You forgot to paint the tips of the Propeller Blades "Yellow".

[@TomGrigat]

Thank you for the corrections. Ad 1. You're right. The original had it vice versa. Unfortunately I strictly followed the kit's plan Ad 2. / 3. I didn't know - I used the scheme of the box art with decals from the kit. There weren't any yellow tips on the blades. But it doesn't mean I was right though...

[@Steve81M]

Really love the way you record your process, it's so satisfying to watch. You're truly a master of your craft.

[@deldridg]

Tom - your incredible skills and tireless efforts to bring them to us spread wonder and inspiration to many, many folks around the planet. More than that, they convey the notion that things that bring great beauty and deeper reward into this world come only with hard, disciplined work over long periods. I'm a pianist and have a sense of this, as do my kids but it's a weakening signal these days. What you are doing is so important! Many, many thanks again - Dave

[@Keplerb-od1lr]

Very cool way to film this! I also like how the additional parts and supplies are named.

[@user-zq6yz5gf6d]

The amount of time, patience and skilled craftsmanship this must have required is amazing, and to think you could have just made a timelapse of you assembling it, you made it in stop motion to give it that touch of care and passion. I think this and all your other vids like this deserve Oscars. I dont make models but man these are good. You've got a new subscriber.

Nice job Tom. Col. Eaglestons 51, I built his P-47. I does not surprise me Hobby Boss had you mount the gear backwards. But, saying that a number of builders have done the same.

[@JohnFSmitheugene]

Gorgeous work, as always, Tom. I do love your stop-motion videos. If you are at all like me, and you've seen close to several million P-51 models, the stop-motion photography is a welcome addition. Still hoping you will document how you do this in a future tutorial. I know I could have some fun doing it, but it would take a pretty tall lift to do it better than you. Peace

Beautiful build Tom. I’m less impressed with Hobby Boss’ rendition of the Mustang than I am the Tamiya, Eduard and maybe Airfix offerings, but your assembly and finish coupled with your stop motion skills make the kit shine. Smaller, quicker project than that 1/24 Airfix Hellcat you did in your last vid for sure. Thanks for sharing this.

[@Juno58]

Hallo deutscher Kerl 😀 Super animiert, das animiert sogar mich, mal wieder modellbaumäßig aktiv zu werden. 😉 Mustangs der 8th AF in Europa hatten übrigens kein Antennenkabel, das machen viele Modellbauer falsch. Hobby Boss hat (wie Trumpeter bei der 32er Mustang auch) den unteren Rand der verschiebbaren Cockpithaube deutlich zu schmal dargestellt. Habe stattdessen die neue Revell P-51 D gebaut, ein toller Bausatz!

[@TomGrigat]

Es freut mich, dass dir das Video gefällt und dass es dich zum Modellbauen erneut motiviert. Vielen Dank für die Hinweise zur Mustang und zum Modell - ich habe leider erst im nachhinein festgestellt, dass Hobby Boss ein paar Fehler eingebaut hatte, denen ich nur zu gern gefolgt bin... Ich arbeite gerade an einer Mustang von Eduard und schaue mal, ob ich da einiges wieder gut machen kann 😅

[@Juno58]

@@TomGrigat Hobby Boss und Trumpeter haben oft Fehler, deshalb kaufe ich keine Modelle mehr von diesen Herstellern. Die 32er Revell P-51 D 5 NA (frühe Ausführung) ist dagegen wirklich klasse!
