I have made about 30 WW2 model planes, 1/48"" scale and still have them. Did this after a friend at work showed me a boxed plane. This was right after getting married in 1975. One of my grandsons and I put together one that was still in the box after many years.
2 of my favorite aircraft. the most beautiful jet ever produced and one badass prop driven fighter. the only prop driven fichter i find more appealing is the f-4-u 1a corsair.
I have this combo kit still boxed, in my stash. I had forgotten it. I am inspired, going to dig it out and build them. I also built a 1/72 Spitfire in Gabreski's markings, during his time flying for the RAF Polish Squadron. He didn't make his first kill til he got back into the USAAF flying the P-47. Also, on his last mission before rotating home near the war's end, he got cocky flying too low, and crashed his Thunderbolt. Finished WWII as a POW.
Nice build, especially the camouflage. A couple of things you didn’t mention and might be useful to someone who buys this kit - the kit I’m building has P-47D instructions for the razorback version so some of the part numbers are wrong. Not difficult to work out what goes where though. The only other issue is the P-47D radio antenna. The hole for it in the kit is where it would be on a razorback - with it fitted in that hole the bubble canopy can’t open far enough (it should slide back as far as the armoured pilot seat headrest) for the pilot to get in or out. Photographs of the bubbletop show the antenna should be located on the fuselage top just in front of where the beginning of the intercooler vents in the fuselage side are attached. Just open the canopy fully and it should be right behind the canopy, about 5mm further back from the hole in the kit, so the kit hole needs filling and a new one drilling in the correct place.
Nice build on both of them! Beautiful work and it is straight out of the box built. Your finish on both are incredible. It is nice to see a finish without making the plane look like it rolled in deep mud....👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
On my 1/48 kit there is space in between wings and fuselage, i filled it with putty, but now with primer i can see the putty marks and scratches underneath, pretty hard to sand because of the curve, what should i do? It looks pretty ulgy
I've recently built Academys P-47 D, all in all a nice kit, but it has some issues. The canopy is completely wrong, i used the Revell canopy, which is much better in shape and the frames are better too. The landing gear is way too long, the legs should be shortened. The antenna is in the wrong position, the sliding canopy part wouldn't opened fully.
"P" was for "pursuit", which was replaced by "F" for "fighter". Some American airplanes, such as the P-47 and the P-51, experienced the transition and were later designated F-47 and F-51. "A" was and still is for "attack". The A-26 Intruder was later changed to B-26, and later on it was changed back to A-26. The change to B-26 led to confusing the type with the B-26 Marauder, another type altogether. The "Bf" in the Bf-109 is the German abbreviation for "Bavarian Aircraft Works", or Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (BFW), which produced the airplane. It was later changed to Me-109 to honor its creator, Willy Messerschmitt.

These two craft are the hallmark of good early aviation
Once you get to their level there are a few really excellent builders, us mere mortals can only aspire. Great builds thanks for sharing.

amazing work Dusan
Beautiful builds sir. I'm an armor kind of guy, but videos like this make me want to go back to planes...
Thank You! All the best! Dusan.
as always, a beautiful, clean work.
great work...
Nice build on both of them! Beautiful work and it is straight out of the box built. Your finish on both are incredible. It is nice to see a finish without making the plane look like it rolled in deep mud....👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
Simply awesome!
Incredible that these two aircraft wee only half a decade apart.
Stunning work as usual, Dusan! Great video. Thanks for sharing!

Wow nice job i like the way you made the kamuflage you hire.
Thank You! All the best! Dusan.
Awesome work as always! 👍👍👍
Love the vid. Excellent build. Was wondering what fine detail brushes you use?
On my 1/48 kit there is space in between wings and fuselage, i filled it with putty, but now with primer i can see the putty marks and scratches underneath, pretty hard to sand because of the curve, what should i do? It looks pretty ulgy
nice detaile up!!!!
Good job!
Fenomenalno Dušane!
Dusan sei un Maestro.
I like your step-by-step building of these kits, but can you please do narration so I can understand how the kit comes to life.
I've recently built Academys P-47 D, all in all a nice kit, but it has some issues. The canopy is completely wrong, i used the Revell canopy, which is much better in shape and the frames are better too. The landing gear is way too long, the legs should be shortened. The antenna is in the wrong position, the sliding canopy part wouldn't opened fully.
awesome work man!! how do you buff at 11.30? with just paper towels or do you use some chemicals
great job on both planes !! take care buddy .
Awesome!
2 in 1 build! 2 thumbs up here sir! Awsome as always. Japanese zero please. Hehe.
Maby, thanks! All the best! Dusan.
aaand again KSP music ;-)
Yes Polish-American Ace Francis Stanley Gabreski-Franciszek Stanisław Gabryszewski.
What kind of needle did you take and how much PS?
Hes not better every modeller has a style to his project. Were all great in our own style.
Can I paint with airbrush without a spacer?
Have you built the 1:48 B-17? Awesome builds friend!! I would like to see you build that b-17.
Thanks for sharing!
I've never seen a kit with two totally different planes bundled together
This is a special limited edition. There is also a combo of P-51 and Me-262. All the best! Dusan.
Well done! Very nice american planes...
Thanks Daniele. All the best! Dusan.
Lucky you. I'm building this same kit and the sabre's cockpit fitting is absolutely awful
I don't recall any fit issues. Only wired front canopy.
Do u have any tips for humbrol 11 paint(silver) becouse when I apply it it separates and it makes brush strokes
I really dont have Humbrol 11 :-( All the best! Dusan.
superb 😊
Awesome
Nice....
Did u get after market decals? Pls answer thanks
No, You will get this excellent Cartograf decals in this boxing from Academy! All the best! Dusan.
Well, F stands for fighter, B - for bomber. And what was P standing for in all these WWII P-39,P-40, etc.? plane?..
OgrabliatorKorovanov Pursuit.
so your are saying the BF-109 is a bomber?
no they were talking about the US designations
"P" was for "pursuit", which was replaced by "F" for "fighter". Some American airplanes, such as the P-47 and the P-51, experienced the transition and were later designated F-47 and F-51. "A" was and still is for "attack". The A-26 Intruder was later changed to B-26, and later on it was changed back to A-26.

The "Bf" in the Bf-109 is the German abbreviation for "Bavarian Aircraft Works", or Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (BFW), which produced the airplane. It was later changed to Me-109 to honor its creator, Willy Messerschmitt.
What about the modern designation for the P series of aircraft like the P-3 Orion. What does it stand for?
Super car
Wait a sec, is that the P-47 skin from War Thunder? Really nice Result! Keep going!
The scheme from War Thunder was based on the real life aircraft, you know, the subjects of the whole "scale" modeling idea.
I can't deal with the f-86 window screen raised on the inside!
Does paint is included with kit or it's your imagination?
Who's Gaberski is?
