What about the Edward landing gear and tire set? Is it more robust that the gear oob?
Mike, great 10 part video series on the C-47 build which so happens to be my next build,was going to a ww ii warship, but it have to wait!
Thanks again for sharing, Mike. Your tutorials are magic in that they are helpful for the novice to the pro to achieve great results. Presentation/video production is always outstanding.
Thanks Suggestions are always welcome
Really cool 🛩.
Once again great work Mike
Another beautiful project. Nice to see these older kits can be built into something special. Thank you.
The old Monogram kits are still winners!
Thanks Your art work is beautiful!!
Great build series! It turned out great. Your Revell b-17g video was great help, thanks.
Glad the videos help.
Mike, thank you for sharing this video (with all your techniques and tips) looking forward to to part 10
Another awesome video sir!
Wow! This is really starting to look incredible Mike! Any reason why you didn’t add the side extensions on the bridge? The side extension would have made the bridge 50” long. I have that bridge on my layout with both sides added. Looks beautiful spanning 50 inches. 😉
Didn't have black colored ones!
Looking good, I like the track plan. 👍
@@TwistedMacGyversTrains Thanks
@@TwistedMacGyversTrains Morning How did you find our channel? Feedback helps us refine our "tags" for the UA-cam search engines and bots. Thanks Mike
@@scalemodeling Hello Mike, Your channel just popped up on my feed. I just subscribed to your channel. Frank
Awesome work as always Mike !!!
@@arizonamodelshop2512 Thanks
Mike,Great tips on this build
@@gene5572 Thanks
Beautiful work on this classic, Mike! Not an easy one. I built the USAAF model "D" named TONDELAYO, based on New Guinea, 1943. Thanks for showing the whole process, greetings from Santiago, Chile. Cris.
@@crisovejanegra3517 Hi Chris Greetings from Dunlap Tennessee!! Thanks. It was a fun build! Mike
Mike, never tried silver paint to check seams, as used gray primer,but will try on C-47 build! Have to watch your technique in your playlist
Very impressive Mike.. I love all the stash on the shelves below the tracks and I see the man cave is looking pretty cool !!
@@arizonamodelshop2512 Thanks It's a dream come true
Nice set Mike,how long before you dress like Gomez Adam's and crash the trains....lol😂.. I 24 is not a bad stretch of road beautiful thur that area .
Not a bad idea!! Need explosives Grandkid would love it!!
thank you for the detail and pointers that you provided in this video
I would very much like your opinion on which of the 1/350 scale kits is a better choice I’m considering the hobby boss or the Very fire uss Missouri and if I go with the Very Fire there is a up start kit by pontos for the HB would this up start kit work as well with the Very Fire ?
The Very Fire kit has better "Buildability" HB kit has too many tiny parts. I also recommend Blackcat models 3D printed parts.
@@scalemodeling thank you I was actually looking at the Very Fire kit first and after watching your reviews I started questioning my second choice which was the hobby boss do you think that some of the up start pieces mainly the photo etched parts from pontos will work with Very Fire or do you recommend another brand I see your recommendations for modifying the kit but im also looking for deck wood and superstructure
@@crazyhorsecreations1334 Check out my video series on building the Tamiya 1/350 Missouri. The very fire kit has photoetch.
What kind of sponge do you use for the chipping effect
July 25, 2024
[thank, you for you're great video]👍
Wow!
Mike, the weathering looks great
Thanks The inside came out good. I over did it on the outside!!
How do you get the masts together?
Mike when you run into where the paint peels in small areas,it is due to qc at a petro chemical plant. 32 to years of driving and picking up at these plants,when they switch over to make styrene plastic pellets,some polypropylene pallets get mixed in.this causes small areas of the styrene plastic come very smooth. Polypropylene plastics are use in molded injection for dishes,cups and plastic toys.these get mixed in by accident when they fill the boxes.
@@richardjordan5036 Thank you Now I know it was not bad paint!!
Another highly informative video, Mike. For all of my 1/32 or 1/24 aircraft builds that have monocoque construction, I add stressed skin effects by removing material from a lot on a Zero fighter to a minimum on a P-47. We have the luck of living 30 minute drive away from the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum that owns and operates a C-47 in D-Day markings that fly along with many of their other aircraft, close or over our house. I can tell from the sound of the engines if it will be the Lancaster, B-25, Canso (PBY) or the C-47 when there is only one of them flying. The C-47/ DC-3 is still impressive and has earned its place in history.
@@SEMJW agreed!
I worked with DC-3s at an FBO. Love that aircraft.
Great build. Just got this model so looking forward to it. $8.50 my goodness I had to replay the video to make sure I was hearing that right!
@@jackdodson8736 I had it in my unbuilt stack for over 30 years!
Mike, great video!! Thank for sharing your techniques on weathering
Your studio looks awesome, a true hobby dream
@@foolduke2810 Thanks That's the old one. Check out my new videos to see my new one.
I am glad your videos are a how to do it guide. Your interpretation of the O.D. matches that of the Memphis Belle on display in Dayton. O.D. is subject to all kinds of interpretation...
Monogram kits were generally accurate and well detailed, but the fit of the parts presented many challenges....
@@AlanToon-fy4hg They all have fit issues. No matter what manufacturer,
I see that you have John Ficklen's F4F print...
@@AlanToon-fy4hg Yep He gave me several of them way back in 2002.
@@scalemodeling You know he flew west a year or so ago. Sad to see him go. He was an outstanding modeler and artist.
@@AlanToon-fy4hg Yep Unfortunately we had a falling out years ago.
Thanks Mike. I always enjoy your videos. For a novice like me, I would really love to see a video of yours on how you actually airbrush your models at the booth. I have looked in your playlists but I could not see any airbrushing video tutorial. Many thanks
Excellent work!👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@littlehistory2392 Thanks It was a fun build.
Mike, thank you for describing all the modifications needed to be done on this kit
Great upgrade video, Mike! The Resin2Detail parts are beautiful.
@@kenhanson1819 Yes they are I am using them on my B-24 build too
Mike, just picked up this kit( just a newer version #5607), will mostly likely have the same problem you faced, will be starting it soon, after the monogram B-17! Thanks for sharing! Possibly looking at new decals @ the IMPS national
@@gene5572 Try eBay too.
Nice walkthrough, Mike 💥👍💥
@@DutchDaveModels Thanks
I picked up the AC-47 at an antique store. I am sure it will have the same fit and build issues. Thanks for your video.👍👏
I just bought one a mere four years after seeing your video in July 2024. Thanks Mike!
I have been to this museum many times and it is a worthwhile destination. Almost all the aircraft are in flying condition and flown regularly.
@@davew3130 and they build them too!!
Great job so far.
this is a very very cool weathering video!!! i would love to see more HO scale building/ weathering stuff. good job sir! thanks for sharing with us
Thanks More to come
AWESOME JOB.
Thanks It was a challenging build!!
GREAT naration, great airbrushing. However, for a "new" in service combat aircraft you might have wanted to cut off some of the mission markings. JUST saying, love the job you did.
Here is a question: How much weight is needed up front to get this model to sit right? The instructions show where the weight should go, but they don't say how much weight is required.
Good question I have not built this one yet, but I am working on the Revell/Monogram kit. I should know in a month or so.
@@scalemodeling -Okay, good. If you remember, let me know what you find out about it. And I'll check back too.
Great video, thank you for taking the time
Mike have you tried EZ-Line for your rigging?? It's outstanding material to work with.
