The Tamiya P-47's are great kits and a few additional details are always good. I would also use other metal colors and not a matt clear coat. The next attempt will probably be the new MINIART Thunderbolt, which I'm really looking forward to. Regards ScalerDan
@@kikomaluto Thank you for your question. It depends on the product used. On my P-51 Mustang I used AK Gauzy Agent Shine Enhancer as a final sealant. That would be my recommendation for metallic surfaces. You get a nice shine and retain the metal effect. For other surfaces I usually use Mr Hobby clear varnish and mix matt with semi gloss or gloss. You can change the final result by diluting the clear coat, but it requires some practice. A thick, gloss layer usually looks unnatural. Regards ScalerDan
Thank you so much!! Do you only use the AK, or do you recommend adding a layer of clear coat as well? If yes, what kind and did you put before or after the AK Paint? Love your videos!!@@ScalerDan
@@kikomalutoThank you for the kind words. The 'AK Gauzy Agent Shine Enhancer' is a type of clear varnish and is applied as the final sealing layer. So do not use any additional clear varnish. The product description states that it is specially made for a shiny effect. You can also dip canopies in it. Regards ScalerDan
Great work! Looks real good. I like that you take time to showcase the final model. I've seen other modelers showcase the final model for like 20 seconds.
WOW! great job on the painting and weathering. May I ask what colors you used on the body of the plane. I see you vallejo white aluminium on a panel. I am just getting into Vallejo paints.
Thank you for watching and commenting. I mainly used Vallejo Aluminium for the fuselage and wings and painted individual panels with Dark Aluminium and White Aluminium to create some variation. If you want to stick with acrylic paints, the Vallejo Metal Colors are very good. For even more of a metal effect, I would recommend AK Xtreme Metal. Regards ScalerDan
Thank you for your comment. It's one of my earlier works, so I paid a little less attention to the details. The finish is also a bit too matte. I hope you can see an improvement in my newer videos. Regards ScalerDan
Thanks for your comment. I used Micro Sol in thin layers...again and again and again. Between each layer wait until it is dry and gently press with a cotton swab...but you need patience and always let it dry horizontally. Regards ScalerDan
Would have liked to show more but that's all the usable footage I had. I'm planning a Razorback and will do my best to show more details. Regards ScalerDan

Real beautiful build.
Thank you very much! Regards ScalerDan
Love this kit!😊
I'm already looking forward to building the razorback variant. Regards ScalerDan
Looks good! I've got this kit on order. Looks enjoyable.
Many Thanks. You won't be disappointed I guess. It's still a great kit but I'm also looking forward to the Miniart version. Regards ScalerDan
You should rebuild this kit with Eduard's wonderful photo etch and 3d printed decals. Adds a ton of sorely missing detail

@@ScalerDan What is the best clear coat to use here? Semi-gloss or gloss?

Thanks for your kind words. I try to present the final model as detailed as possible. Maybe some more close-ups in upcoming builds...
Brilliant work.....great result...... one more subscriber 👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Welcome aboard and thank you for your kind words. There's another Razorback waiting on the stack. Regards ScalerDan

@@ScalerDan Thank you so much for the quick reply.
Quite nice. Why did you skip taking care of the seamline on the underside ?

What did you use to get those thick decals to settle nicely in the panel lines? Turned out super cool.

Not showing full paintwork and assembly.🤨
