  • Hi Viewers!
    My apologies for the delay in content, it has been a very busy two months since the P-47D video. But here it is, the follow up video to the story of the 8th Air Force's solution to their escort fighter problem at the end of 1943.
    I've changed the format in this video and you'll notice I only put up the percentage of paint to ratio. For example, 5% @ 20 PSI means that there is 5% paint to 95% thinner. I use Mr Leveling Thinner unless otherwise stated.
    Enjoy the video!

    Excellent work. Thank you for memorializing Col. Christian. I was his POW/MIA case manager in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The great grandson of Civil War Confederate Lieut. Gen. T. J. "Stonewall" Jackson, Christian was a 1939 West Point graduate. He was awarded the Silver Star for his leadership at Guadalcanal, and was promoted to colonel within 5 years of graduating from West Point. He was certainly destined to be a future key leader in the post-war formation of the U.S. Air Force. Lost August 12, 1944 over Arras, France, he was buried by the Nazis as an unknown because of the confusion with his names (the burial detail seems to have been confused, unable to determine if his name was "Thomas Christian" or "Christian Thomas") and the fact that he was an American pilot but wore British coveralls, boots, gloves, helmet, and goggles. He remains buried in a grave marked "unknown" in Faubourg d'Amiens Cemetery in Arras, France, alongside seven Commonwealth casualties. A nous le souvenir, a eux l'immortalite.

    I bought the AMT F7F somewhere in about 1995. Although it is one of the 1/48 plane models I am most critical of (along with the Tamiya individual prop blade kits from then), it did have hollow exhausts that were quite impressively done by AMT. I finished this AMT F7F1 this past year. Iam now getting closer to finishing my Tamiya p51 D Chrome plated version after all these years also. I just built the Model Svit P51H, and did my first Alclad Chrome over gloss black. I am super impressed with that system. I am in disbelief of the reflectivity achieved. Model Svit P51H, a Quality Jewell Like Model Kit. Hard to build though, kind of like building a short run kit.

    Great job giving us a history lesson while you build a very nice model. Would have been nice if my history rolled up in a sherman tank and said "This is what the fighting men of ww2 used to defeat the germans!"

    Beautiful work. I used to hugely enjoy aircraft modelling but at age 73 I have developed a tremor which makes it difficult to even open the box containing a model, so I have to content myself with watching real experts like you at work.

    Great build! I did enjoy the music on the previous one. My coment about the propeller cuffs on the P-47 applies here also. One lesson picked form another modeller, the small unreachable seam on the rear door of the oil cooler can be covered with a small piece of acetate, it is impossible to sand that!

    Seriously awesome video man! You just got yourself another subscriber. I really love your idea of giving a history lesson and just basically talking about the topic of the model whole you build it mixed in with tips. Definitely recommend you keep this format as not only is it awesome, it sort of separates your channel from the other modelling channels on TH-cam and gives yours a bit of a unique feel, in a very positive way I should add.

  • @billchilds3320

    I really enjoy watching your videos, because I love modle planes but I'm not good at assembling them as you are. So watching you is great and I wish I could do it the way that you do. You show that assembling modles is an art and I prove that it is not for everyone.

    • @TheModelGuy
      @TheModelGuy  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Bob.
      I watch guys like Plasmo and aspire to get to that level. But it's all about patience and practice. You are watching an edited video so you need to remember you're not seeing the whole picture, just what I find interesting. You are looking at years of practice and not seeing the mistakes made along the way.

    Waaaw, just ... waaaaaw! Commentary is nice, no need for music, i can listen to whatever music whenever i like or even during commentary videos. I fly P-51 in DCS and it was an amazing plane. Roll rate was a bit slow compared to FW-190 and such, but what use is a Spitfire if u have to turn back after 40 minutes. :)

  • @ImperialReject
    @ImperialReject 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    To be honest I like the videos they are not only interesting from a modelers aspect but they are also interesting because you give history lessons along with it that not many people know. I think you could add music in if you wanted to but keep it faint and in the background. I think it would feel some of the dead space but not draw to much attention away from the commentary. Keep doing what your doing, you do an amazing job!

    Love commentary you should watch Greg’s airplanes and automobiles. He does a lot of really cool stuff. There was a lot of technical data used during the war like upping the manifold pressure (on Merlin) so it would preform much better the German fighters at higher altitudes. And how the US had up to 150 octane fuel by the last years of the war also improving the mustang performance
