Just had this pop up in my feed, even though it’s a vintage build. Oddly enough I too switched from spraying Vallejo to Tamiya/Gunze paints. I like the weathering and finish on this. And enjoyed the music in between your history narrative.
I wish I could aircraft models like that. You're a master builder.
Thanks, but this has been a lot of practice, a lot of mistakes and a lot of learning to get here. No one builds awesome models day one and like a lot of skills you just need to keep trying. If you're not learning anything new during your builds, you shouldn't be doing the hobby!
Keep at it and you'll see your own builds improve :)
Nice touch with the music, Mars from The Planets by Holst. Spot on!
Most impressive and beautiful work, top notch weathering!😍
Fantastic skills ! Great end result and thanks for the history and the way to build the model. Be Blessed
Probably the best Canadian scale modeler out there on YT! Keep up the fantastic work!
There are some other greats on here too eh?
Love the build and putting Benny Goodman's "Sing Sing Sing" in the playlist was awesome! Great job sir!
Ahh... "MARS", one of my FAVORITES!!!
Very very good work, you have an excellent eye for weathering details. 👍🏻👍🏻
Your weathering is superb, great model mate, cheerz!
Great build. I enjoyed the trivia and historical references. Looking forward to seeing more about the masks for the roundels too.
A very nice job on this build.....enjoyed the commentary and the visuals which combined made for a very enjoyable video. I really liked the way you weathered the kit as well....a few techniques I will definitely use for some of my next builds. Will look forward to seeing what you have next to come....thanks.
What a twist, great modelling, historic story telling and music... Well done that man :-)
Nice video, its great to hear some trivia and history behing this beautiful aircraft. Keep them coming mate! :)
Tell your friends! :)
great job professionally !!!!👏👏👏
Wow. A truly engrossing video build.Really interested in seeing more on making roundels withe Criquet.
A fitting tribute to the 'certified badass' brilliant
Awesome build. I love the Jug😎👍
Great build I enjoyed the video.
Great build... and Sing, Sing, Sing was a great music choice!!!! Totally enjoyable video!!!
I think the drummer was having the time of his life when he recorded the original
I saw the P-47 build come up and saw it was the Spirit of Atlantic City and had to watch it (I'm from NJ) and this particular P-47 is my favorite version. Excellent work. Love the history lesson with the build too.
Thanks Russ! The Jug is a favorite and glad you enjoyed the video
Magnificent model and narration! Subbed.
Thank you! I have an F-16I in the works but I'll do a part II to this build with the Mustang to close this story
Hello! I've really been enjoying your videos. Thank You for taking the time to produce them. I usually do not like background music during the playout - but do enjoy your choices! Very enjoyable whilst building my vintage MPC 1/24 Stuka JU87-B. Take Care and Cheers from Leeds Alabama USA!
Love the Tchaikovsky with model building!
Awesome build!
Excellent build buddy . You've definitely done the jug proud. Thanks for sharing. Would love to see more builds for sure👍🤓
Thank you! I've had two following builds go sideways (waiting on missing sprues) but I do have the Tamiya 1/48 Mustang in the works. Going to be doing Lou IV
Great video and weathering
Great video, that P-47 is amazing.
Awesome build.
so beautiful..my compliments!!...a great great build..every remembrance of the veterans keep me breathless
Great video! Subbed after watching your video on the P-51D.
Outstanding work, have one in the que to build soon.
Great build. I had purchased a Cricket for my niece but I never thought about using it to masks for decals. Thanks.
Great looking Tbolt! Loved the use of masks for some of the markings.
Another great build, like somebody said music a bit loud, but it did not take anthing away from the build, thanks for sharing.
Nice job!
...this is the best story of P-47D and part of The History, all facts...and you enjoy watching model building...
Great build.
Tamiya P-47 is one of the most enjoyable kits that I have built. Probably one of the better engineered kits.
It's very close to being perfect. I have another one in the stash for another day.
@@TheModelGuy I've built the M and the Razorback. I still want to build the bubbletop D.
Hands down, the 1/48 TAMIYA P-47 kits (P-47D-20 "Razorback", P-47D-25 "Bubble Top" and their P-47M-1 "Superbolt") are simply THE BEST P-47 kits in ANY scale, PERIOD!!!
Awesome absolutely love it 😁
I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Un très beau résultat ,félicitations ...
Very good build and excellent paint job on a very nice kit. The "Razorback" is pretty much my favorite T'Bolt, apart from the VLR P-47N's in the Pacific. One very small point (not a criticism, but a pointer for future builds) The cuffs on the base of the propeller blades (Just outboard of the Hub) were not metal beneath the black paint. Like the Cuffs on the P-51 propellers they are blocks of solid rubber, pushed onto each blade from the base and molded to fit exactly in the correct place. (Post war many Mustangs had them removed as they did wear badly and many Korean War Mustangs had Cuff-less Hamilton Standard Propellers. The Aero Products Propellers did not have cuffs but a broader chord.) HTH, Brett
I’ll have to remember that as I love building Bolts.
I did a newer build of one last year and I think it used a different prop
Fab work
It's the US Army Air Corps. Other than that, nice video. I like your format. It's cool to see some historical film and hear some of the history of the videos subject. This is the second video of yours I've seen. Just came across your channel last night.
I've been using Vallejo paint for the past two years, before that I only ever used Testors & Model Master and a few Tamiyas. I switched to Vallejo mostly because I decided to go all acrylic and the price is reasonable and I saw a lot of good reviews. Since then, now that I'm fully invested have come to grips with the fact that their primer sucks. I to had issues with the paint pealing off with tape. But, if you use Stynylrez primer, it sticks to styrene & resin very well and the Vallejo paint adheres to it much better. Also I use the standard and Panzer Aces Vallejo thinned 50% with my own thinner (60% blue windshield washer fluid, 35% distilled water, 5% 71% ISO and 5-10 drops glycol & 30-50 drops glycerin). Honestly I thought I messed up using the ISO but after mixing a batch without it because it seemed like the paint got real spotty/flakey (flakes of pigment) I noticed a lot orange peel and more flakes. So I went back to my original mix but cut down to 50% paint to thinner as a posed to 75% thinner to paint. Now it shoots beautifully and dries slow enough to self level but be dry to the touch in 10 minutes or less.
Very nice build. There is a 47 painted like this at Chino Airport in California.
Great job! Thanks for sharing! Here a new Sub!
The history lesson is exceptional thanks, the music is cool. John Williams really did borrow a lot from his predecessors lol. Listen to Dvorak Symphony number 9, 4th movement and you'll agree. You really should have played "Greensleeves" BTW hehe
Pukka weathering !! Very impressed!!!
verry good ,
That a P-47C, The D variant had a teardrop canopy.
The D came as a Razorback as well.
Actually the 47 was escorting the Bombers to Bremen by Nov. '43. The 56th F.G. in an intense dogfight with the Luftwaffe had the highest victory tally for any USAAF group and the tally was not surpassed until after D-Day, and even that took the combination of 2 F.G.'s.Once the R-2800 was fitted with the "Paddle blade prop", Asymmetrical, Symmetrical, and Hamilton Standard 13' 3"the 47's mauled anything in its path. Range was conquered by fuel tanks, they could carry three ext. tanks. Also 47's were the first USAAF fighter over Berlin, the 51's got lost due to thunderstorms{The men who killed the Luftwaffe}. The "M" version was faster than the 51{only used by 56th F.G.} and after the 47D-30 could easily fly faster than the 51's. The "N" version had more range, could carry more weapons, and could fly faster than the 51, even without ext.tanks. Of course the "N" was only used in the PTO. Gen. Lemay , once given command of 8th AF after WWII was over, kept and acquired as many 47's as he could get his hands on, converted them all to D-40's and shed the 51's. Gen. Lemay knew of the 51's weaknesses { poor load weight, low hours for the Merlins and wing structure fatigue} so he kicked them out of Europe. The ROKAF did fly 47's during the Korean war. {2 F.G.'s} To me, 51's were late arrivers to WWII, strength in #'s weren't achieved until after D-Day. Even Gen. Kempner {8th AF Fighter commander WWII} flew a 47. He even stated that the 47's broke the back of the Luftwaffe, so that should sum it up. The P-47 will probably never get it's due recognition and fame, the USAAF doesn't even like the A-10! {Thunderbolt II} Also a Republic build, GO FIGURE! But anywho, Nice build, I do love the Tamiya P-47 kit, I've built 30 so far with another 15 to go. I just picked up the Loon mod for the "C" version, { Tamiya kit only ,correct cowling, non-bulging keel} I wish Tamiya would produce an "N" version. Even better a 1/32nd kit! Trumpeters are ok, decent detail, all internal piping for turbo supercharger, excellent gun bays, and a very good R-2800. But, the tires are way out of scale and after the Razorback and early D-25 the pits are all incorrect{I've built 2, have 10 to go}. Hasegawa, well just leave that kit on the shelf, unless you want to donate your money to aftermarket companies, I've built 3, won't build another. Good luck with future builds, I've clicked to subscribe
Hi buddy nice build just got to love the P-47 great paint job. cheers Gary from the 🇬🇧.
Hi bob hope you don't mind me asking but where could I buy the loon mod C for the tamiya kit. Cheers Gary from the UK.
@@gary6300 Scalemates, I believe sells Loon Model products. The "C" NOCUT 1/48th P-47 Cowling conversion is item # LO48206. Cowling fits perfectly. Tankless belly for the "C" is item # LO48044. I haven't tried that yet, does require a bit of cutting, but looks easy enough by the instructions. Good Luck!
@@bobdyer422 hi bob thank you for getting back to me much appreciated will try and order the sets. cheers Gary.
@@gary6300 I've been scouting around a bit. Tankless belly is available, but Cowling conversion, tough going so far. But if you want to try directly address is, Loon Models PO Box 27066 Golden Valley, MN 55427-066. Fax # 763-545-0899. Let me know if you've had any luck. I'll try and give them a call later today, let you know if cowling conversion is still available.
Great build! I will probably catch some flak for saying it; but, I am NOT a fan of Vallejo paints either. I have been modeling over 50 years, and; I had rather use almost any paint other than Vallejo. I'd almost rather use Testor's enamel in the 1/4 ounce bottle. Right now, I'm using Tamiya, Army Painter brand and AK Interactive. Rarely, Vallejo will occasionally stick to it's own brand of primer. But, not often enough to warrant the trouble. Your P-47 looks great and I compliment you overcoming the trouble you had with the Vallejo. Keep up the good work. This hobby will last you a lifetime.
I find it's okay if it's not being masked over but even using washi tape detacked to the point it barely sticks, it will sometimes lift Vallejo paint off Mr Surfacer.
As for Vallejo primer, it's pretty useless. I find it won't stick fully, even if applied in thin layers
@@TheModelGuy My experience almost exactly. For the life of me; I don't understand some peoples fascination with Vallejo. There are much better options out there. Usually, for quite a bit less money.
Another thing I find difficult with them is thinning them down. They are not very consistent even with their own thinner.
@@TheModelGuy True. Back when I first started out; you were limited to Testor's enamel. You had to mix your own colors and thin them with what ever you had on hand. Which in my case was turpentine. Used to drive my mother crazy when my bedroom smelled like a factory. Thankfully, things have progressed a little further than that. Some guys, literally swear by Vallejo. And; if that works for you; use that. I just find I have better luck with Tamiya. Smells quite a bit less offensive, and you can thin it with their thinner or even rubbing alcohol from Walmart. I have just recently tried my hand at the Army Painter brand. Quite thin right out of the bottle. Haven't airbrushed it much. I still find I fall back on Tamiya or AK. For a metal look Alclad. But, for those guys that can make Vallejo work; I say go for it. Modelling is a great hobby. I'm glad I started all those years ago.
@@stephenbridges2791 one thing I get a kick out of, is when a Vallejo guy tells me "Vallejo is easy to use, here's my 12 step process. Thinner, retarder, water, Windex etc"
I'm lazy, I want to just point and shoot :). I've started using mission model paints and love them
Super Nice
I really enjoy your videos, they really teach me a lot about modeling and history thank you!
I wanted to ask you though what airbrush do you use?
I use a few, but mainly I use a cheap Iawata Clone. One for primer, one for colours and one for metalics. For detailed work, I use the Paasche Talon.
Amazing video ! what is "MLT 70%" at 11:45 plase ?
My father was a crew chief with the 356 FG in England. The group started with P-47s and transitioned to P-51s. He loved the Thunderbolt and detested the Mustang. He said he strapped one too many pilots into P-51s that never made it back, while the Jug could sustain massive damage and return. He also said try to find a picture of a Mustang with battle damage. You won't.
That's nuts. As great as the Mustang was as a fighter, it definitely didn't belong down low moving mud.
You obviously haven't looked very hard to find P-51s with battle damage. There are dozens of such photos, if not hundreds. No question the P-47 and its air-cooled engine were less suseptible to damage than the Mustang's liquid-cooled engine, but the P-51 was by no means a flimsy or structurally weak aircraft.
Thank you for the great video. Is that common steel wool you used to mask the cockpit interior?
Thanks for watching! It's actually foam from a resin kit I kept around
USAAF 56th fighter group , 8th Air Force ,1942 to 1945 /1946 . Thank you .
56th FG, 62nd Fighter Squadron. Squadron codes for the 56th:
HV = 61st Fighter Squadron
UN = 62nd Fighter Squadron
LM = 63rd Fighter Squadron
Full mission operational strength was 16 aircraft per squadron, and 48 aircraft for the entire group.
Awesome! I love the US Army Airforce Olive Drab and Neutral Grey! My Hasegawa 1/48 Razorback. I overcame the Step at wing joint. Some of my best putty and seam work ever. I used HWS Wet Transfer Stencils, and I love those! For me, they they performed flawlessly! But this build here, as always on this video site is outstanding. and builder completes all weathering etc.. I still have tendency to not really finish up on all those details. and they do matter. But I am improving. I never know what paints are compatible when weathering. My T Bolt is painted with Valeho water based, and can you use oil washes over that etc.?
Nice video like to see you build the hawker typhoon
I like that suggestion. I know Hasegawa has done both the cab door and 1b, just need to clear some of the stash first.
Nice job, but music is much too loud in relation to voice over.
Great build, especially the painting artwork! But what do IPA and MLT refer to?
Isopropyl Alcohol (I use 99% from the drug store) and Mr Leveling Thinner
Excellent build and brilliant video. I note your comment on Vellejo paints. I haven't had adhesion problems but I do find they are fragile paints, easily rubbed off when handling the model during painting. I now use Tamiya paints but if I want to spray the paint I tend to thin the whole bottle, so I often buy two, one for brushing and one to be thinned for spraying. My main issue is finding a good acrylic gloss varnish/lacquer. I find Tamiya X-22 not very gloss and I still have difficulty with some decals sticking and oil washes not wiping off nicely. Any tips??.
Tamiya's gloss has to be sprayed on in wet layers. Not soaking, but your paint should look "wet*. As for brushing Tamiya paints, it's easier in multiple thin layers. But for the last little bit I've started using Vallejo Model Color paints for brush painting. They level out and are designed for brush painting
Many thanks. My last model was a Porsche 917 in Gulf colours and the Tamiya gloss was not really gloss enough. I ended up thinning down household varnish which did come out very shinny "wet look". I shall try spraying the Tamiya clear a bit wetter.
Great video buddy. Nice WORK! How you get the old video footage on your videos..
Screen capture after making sure it's not copyrighted material.
The Model Guy Thanks Buddy been struggling to get the footage 👍
hey whats the soundtrak on this? It reminds me of a 90's video game I had. Thanks
Very nice work. I have always struggled to clean out panel lines after sanding the fuselage joints. Can you share the 2 tools that you used? It looks like some kind of flat blade and also a scribing tool. Thanks in advance.
Sure, the flat blade is a JLC razor saw and the second is a testors scribe tool.
@@TheModelGuy Thanks so much for the quick reply!
Nice smooth work ;)
I have 2 questions:
1. On 0:30 you paint white "prelight substrate" for some color variations on finish. But I don't see this color variations :( Why? It's because something with my eyes? )) Or because camera doesn't register this variations? Or because substrate fully overlapped by next paint coats?
2. When you improves engine detalization on 12:30, you use super glue, as I guess. And then some spray. What is this spray? It's some kind of drying booster for super glue?
Hi Alex,
This is an older video of mine and I've changed up my approach on a few things
The camera doesn't do a great job picking up the subtle tone changes in the paint. The spray you see is accelerant to speed up the super glue drying time.
This is also a kit I want to revisit as I love the jug
@@TheModelGuy Thank you for your answer ^_^
It's useful for me to know about this accelerant.
I think your model looks grate. Even with current camera result.)
Would you be able/willing to do a video on how to use a Cricut to make stencils; using both metric and imperial measurements? And show how to make them to scale?
I do have plans to make a tutorial for the Cricut, but it's packed right now as we are moving at the end of the month. My Rivet tutorial can explain how to scale images for a model
Just like the real thing, only in miniature.😎
What did u spray before the wash? Nice build!
A layer of Tamiya X-22 clear with MLT.
How did you paint the grey bottom in the wavy pattern? Wonderful music
It was masked with tape
I always enjoy your build videos. What kind of wire did you use on the engine? I’ve tried using wire before, but it wasn’t pliable, making it very difficult to bend into shape.
I have a set of lead wire across six gauges that I use. It's very soft and easy to get in place.

RE: Weathering- LESS IS MORE!!! Take it easy on the weathering- Armor and Military ground vehicles become filthy; Airplanes merely get dirty in extreme environments. Many airplanes, even during WWII and Korea were "fussed over" more than people realize. For example, many of the P-47s, P-51s and P-38s in USAAF Fighter Groups in Europe, such as the 4th, 56th, 78th and 357th (to name but a few) received WAX-JOBS, in order to get every ounce of speed possible...
Maybe, but when they started forward deploying high mission tempo cut into down time when ground crews would have the time to clean them. The majority of time would be rearm, repair and refuel. Lots of pics support heavily weathered aircraft. Just need to make sure to have some references as a guide.
@The Model Guy , during your pre-shading 9:34 ( XF-2 + Thinner ) what kind of airbrush are you using? ( looking for a fine detail one right now ) thanks in advance and Nice JUG !
I use a Paasche Talon I got from Amazon on sale for $100
@@TheModelGuy thx buddy appreciate the answer
Why did they add the additional giant roundel to the underwing?
Sorry I clipped that out in error. They added it as a trial for fast identification by friendly units leading into the invasion. You'll see other Jugs with two large markings underneath, but this is how this aircraft looked in March 1944.
@@TheModelGuy thanks for the info. I look forward to seeing more of your builds. My grandfather built P-47's at the Evansville, IN plant. The building is still there, making refrigerators last time I checked!
Thank you @@mr.modern4419! I enjoy hearing stories like that and hope the videos inspire more :)
Was all the finger damage from the modelling or other pursuits?
I'm a heavy truck tech and had burned my hand and fingers that week
I loved the music.
If you don't mind could you tell me where you got the multi grade padded sanding stick???
By the way Excellent build!!!
I picked it up at the pharmacy isle while grocery shopping. Don't tell anyone it's a nail file, but it works really well.
@@TheModelGuy HA! No problem. When I was in the local car model club most of those guys went to the drug stores to buy nail polish because they had such beautiful colors and they painted their model cars with the nail polish. They were using and buying nail sanding sticks and other women's items because they were cheaper than the hobby shops. lol
What was the reason to black base, because you painted over it so heavily you killed the effect.
The variation in tones are still there.
@@TheModelGuy I guess that the camera does not pick it up on my computer.
Sounds like you are from the great white north. We in the lower 48 say "dee-cals" not "deck-els". Nice build!
You may need to explain that to a few Americans. Several of them have been posting on several videos that I am pronouncing it the wrong way. They seem very upset at that. Then they link the US Dictionary...lol
Just another weird thing. Example, my rank is Lieutenant but it's pronounced "Lef-tenant"
@@TheModelGuy No worries, Lef-tenant, you are well understood by most. Carry on.
@@TheModelGuy But it's actually French: décalcomanie, so pronounced day-cal-comanee (roughly). You know you mustn't upset the French!
Brilliant build but what’s MLT?
Mr Leveling Thinner
Great Job and Video. Sir, please excuse my eye for perfection but war bird tail daggers almost never have the elevator in a neutral position. This is 1. due to the control stick being forward in order to climb out of cockpit, 2. the elevator was only in balance when it had air flowing over it. 3. no gusset lock except for rapping seat-belt around stick in full up position.
images.app.goo.gl/8W1cucpNUq9wDh1D9
Plenty of photos showing otherwise. Same with the flaps up or down in the Jug
I notice nobody says how long the built took?,would be nice to know for future purchases........😎
It took two weeks. It's a zero issue kit, very fun build typical of Tamiya
Loved the video immensely BUT I had an issue with your background music being so loud it actually cut out your voice...
It was addressed in alter videos by dropping the music entirely lol
I just turned the sound off.
Love your narration, history lesson and the music but you really should balance out the audio volume. I had to turn up the volume to hear you speak and then BAM! the music hits.
It's been sorted since this video :)
@@TheModelGuy Just watched a newer video and you got another sub nice job
Box Top leader to all flights , B-17s ahead, take up escort position . Hello , Ramrod ,we have arrived .
The build is Fantastic! Thanks for sharing! Gtreat simple techniques and very enjoyable.Love the music and voice over. The End was fabulous! Sincerly Thank you for a well made video and build! One small detail to take in mind, the propeller as with the P-51 Hamilton Standard, had plastic cuffs at the base of the blades. This do not chip metallic, so metal colored weather should not cover them.
This kit came out before 2006. More like 2003 or 2004. Great build though.
Uhh that model is B because D using the water drop cockpit. B using the model cockpit like in the video.
Oh, the p-47D did more than match the 109s and 190s.. ;) They were much faster than either 1943 and beyond. Only the 190Ds had any real chance to compete at altitude..
Range was not bad when they were allowed drop tanks. In fact, P-47s could fly to Berlin and would have been able to go all the way on the Schweinfurt raids - if they had been given the drop tanks that existed... But they were not.
Republic build P-47s did not have Interior Green but (probably) Dull Dark Green. Curtiss built ones DID have the IG however. It looks good though, your build. :)
Bud Mahurin also, probably, shot down one of Adolf Galland´s brothers during one of the Schweinfurt raids.. They found that guy two months later, still inside his plane, close to Liege.... Certainly a bad ass!
Performance wise the P-47 was able to out turn the 109 and 190 over 30,000 ft. Under that, they only had the advantage of speed.
Also, check out the newer Jug I did. Worlds better than this one :)
@@TheModelGuy Well, dive speed is one thing too. "Only speed" sounds a little.. I dunno. :) it´s like the most important factor. Those two and you can chose when to engage - and when not to.
Whatever you might think, the 109s are very dated at this point. Sure, the engine is bit, but it is essentially still the same, small airfram, just getting hevaier. It does not have a great flight performance and along with worse fuel and not as good high alt performance (not just above 30000 feet).
I know what I would chose fighting around the B-24s and B-17s
And 190As were no high alt fighters, at all.
The P-47 also has a superior roll rate compared to the 109 (not the 190 but it has way more advantages over the 190s at alt than the 109 anyways)
it is not "just speed above 30000 feet). You come off as the run off the mill, revisionist Nazi Fan boi with very little clue about reality. Maybe that is what you are and want to be. Fine.
otherwise, get educated. because that is how you sond both here and in the video. And sicnce you are wrong, it makes you sound dumb. But it is your choice.
get educated - and you can start with greg´s channel.

Yeha i found that just this morning. I´ll have a look. Saw that you changed cockpit colour. :)
Wait these are early 47s cause they don’t have bubble cockpits right
Correct
Auctung ,Jabo ,!!!!.
What is MLT?
Mr Color Levelling Thinner
Brazil, o moço dá um aviaozinho deste pra mim 😥😥😥😥😥😥
Why was a radial more robust than an inline?
No cooling system that could be damaged.
Because a radial engine depends on air for cooling, there is always air present as long as the engine is moving forward. Where as a liquid cooled engine, if it's hit and leaks coolant, once that is gone there is nothing to cool the engine.
@@TheModelGuy Thanks so much. My dad was a pilot on the 8/1/43 Ploesti raid, and I am an avid (if uneducated) WWII aviation enthusiast. He was shot down over Foggia on 8/16/43 by some FW-190s that tried to shoot up his parachute. He had just turned 22.
@@Sinistercabbage Didn't Spitfires suffer the same problem, then, not to mention the horror of having all that gasoline right in front of the cockpit?
My absolute favourite thing about doing this on UA-cam is when someone like yourself brings stories like this forward. They bring it home that these were individuals fighting.
I've read a but about those raids and I may need to get a Lib to do.
Good video. Thank you. Music coming and going but mostly too loud compared to the narration though...
I thought F-86 Sabres took over the dogfighting role during the Korean War
They did, what did I say?
You are obviously talented sir. Superb build, I watched avidly and subscribed from watching this. Good history lesson too. Music sucks
Wrong choice of Muzak, something a bit more sedate maybe, and yes, it’s too loud!🤭, a bit more commentary would’ve been better.😎
The Story Of The Kalander Prince by Scheherazade that could work, and I think it's agreed that the audio mix was off.
