Really cool build. It's a shame that there's so many issues with the fit of the parts. I think you did a great job with what you had to do. Unfortunately all the awesome detail work you did is covered by the fuselage and wings. I think they should have given you the option to use clear parts to show off the awesome details that you did. Thanks for sharing your building with us 👍👍🍻🍻
Bonjour Daniel! The only reason for this decision was the engine. I wanted to see it. Now the plane stands behind a glass pane in a cupboard and I can't see the cowling. Only the engine is visible.
@@alexw.2344 I had the same questions with the Mitsubishi Zero tamiya 1/32 scale. Why so many invisible détails ? But finaly the answer is for me that it's only modeling.
I am building this kit at the moment BUT it is one of Trumpeter's "B" Team efforts and has 2 major errors. in the plastic and another couple in the markings. 1. The cockpit is ONLY applicable to a Pre D25 series Bubbletop or Razorback type. The D-25 series (and later, like the M and N Models, switched to a Flat floorboard, and the corrugations vanished see 5:22. This can be cured with some careful sanding and carving OR a few carefully cut plastic card segments to cover them up. Tricky but do-able. 1 Harder, if not impossible to fix, is the Canopy and Windscreen. The windscreen is fat and has curved struts around the armoured centre window. Compare this with the Hasegawa 1/32, any head on photo shown the windscreen, or almost any 1/48 kit and you will see the problem. It makes the windscreen too wide and incorrect, which misshapes the canopy to fit it. Luckily the Hasegawa 1/32 includes 2 canopies, 1 open and 1 closed so if you have that then you are halfway there. Just making it fit though.... ooooh. Last I heard nobody does a clear resin replacement part. IN the decals there are insufficient correct stencils for the whole Airframe and the National Insignia are badly depicted (Outline in blue is about 1/2 the thickness it should be, and proportions are off also - plus they are a little oversized. But worse in the Completely fictional "Too Big and Too Heavy" markings. I did a lot of research into this plane and she had 3 phases during her life and Trumpeter have tried to mix them all together. Long story short: The yellow Fin and tailplane tips are correct for the first stage, but the nose art was only for "Too Big" as was the serial. The second stage was when the tail markings were replaced by diagonal Black and Yellow stripes and they added the number '21' to the Fuselage. This was a very short lived scheme, less than 1 month The final stage was when she was assigned a second pilot, who added his own nose art on the starboard side, another pinup labelled "Short Snorter:: (A Bar term in the USAAF at the time) Where the hey Trumpeter gets "SDERT SNERTER" from is completely lost in translation, I think. To cap it all, BOTH pinups are poorly done and bear only some resemblance to the originals. A very good reproduction (in a flight sim Flight sim) of her final appearance can be found at: forums.eagle.ru/topic/264978-2-big-and-too-heavy-short-snorter-318thfg-333rdfs-plus-generic/?tab=comments#comment-4596302 BTW These are all common modeller errors when reproducing this plane. (They trust the instructions and colour profiles!) I do have some photos of her from the period, but cannot post them here.
Forgot the 3rd major plastic error. The wheels are wrong,. First they are molded with the disc brake facing out from the leg , not the spokes. Second they have 6 spokes the larger size and weight of the N model required 8 spoke wheels..... Fortunately there are some 8 spoke wheels of the right size available from various AM companies. The N model did not uses wheelhub covers on active service. (Weight considerations.) What ever that is excellent, first class work on what is a tier B kit from Trumpeter - see my comments on the flaws below.
I can't get over how far plastic model kits have come since I was a kid...!
Brilliant painting/ weathering.
I have Trumpeter's 1/32 Thunderbolt, but the D model instead of the N. I haven't built it yet, so I've been looking up videos of similar kits.
Outstanding work

Beautiful video and super model. That said, the transparent engine cover is really not great!

Nice!
THE JUG!!!
Sweet 🤗
By the way your modelling skills are great...there was no need for obnoxious, arrogant remarks made by a certain individual.
Thank you. But I know that I'm not the best modeller 😉

上手いですね！
Please, write it in English again. Thank you!
It says "You're good" ....there should be an option for translation below his comment. At least it's available on my version of RUclips.
Is that Zinc Chromate you're using for the interior and if it is what brand is it?
