Thanks, Mike. The black paint had to be done first because it could be masked without harm. The second (no music) video has the extended build information in the description if interested. The 1/32 Trumpeter kit is a better model out of the box. There has been an announcement from Trumpeter of a 1/24 P-47 for 2024.
@@SEMJW May I ask do you use the AK Etreme metal colours silver/aluminium/chrome. I have found they are very durable. I have had no trouble masking over it when dry.
I use AK 3rd gen and their True Metal that can be buffed and several other brands for metallics. When a high polished aluminum to chrome finish is needed like the AirCorp Aviation P-47 or a future build, a 1/24 Mk. IXc Spitfire that will be G-IRTY the Silver Spitfire a chrome ink is the best choice I have found to get a mirror like appearance. AK Super Chrome is advertised as a stronger ink compared to the Molotow brand but I have not found much of a difference. The goal is not to have fully chrome overall as it would make the model look toy like so I modulate the reflectiveness. The videos do not show the higher reflective quality as much as how it looks in person. Also a varnish would protect the ink but it would dull/degrade the appearance.@@mikeMuppetmodeller
The detail! Amazing! Never seen anything like it!
That is really smart, I love the silver and the Invasion stripes give it that added awesomeness with Motorised prop.

@@SEMJW I have more to do for this P-47 and once done I don’t think I’ll be going anywhere near another one for a while 😂
