Amazing!! I learn a lot from your video's but you also cost me a lot of money due to all the tips etc... ;-) Greetings from Arnhem (Netherlands, Europe)
Ha ha, not the first time I've been told that! Sorry, but not sorry! Also, fun fact, I've passed through Arhhem before, its been about 20 years, but I really enjoy your country!
Hi Brett, great videos on the pair of C-47s, excellent work on the landing lights on the Monogram kit, (something to look forward to) I have replaced the engines and ordered from kitmasx a few weeks ago.
No major issues whatsoever while building mine Monogram. No problems with warping or the canopy. The only snag is the filling and sanding of the upper fuselage joint lines
Hi Brett, great work as usual. I also love Kitmasx also, they have also never failed me, and quite often I plan my builds around their masks. Cheers, Iain
Aha, now we know what became of the C47 Hi Brett, I'm rather enjoying this Dual Build comparison, it just goes to show what time and engineering progress can do. (And a few extra Dollars.) Looking forward to the next installment, keep up the good work. Regards...
Hats off for your patience. The last ancient kit I built was Italeri's 1/48 Blackhawk. I won't be touching any inferior kit with a 10-meter pole anymore.
Wow beautiful work,thing I have found about trumpeter is same so much detail that doesn't exactly drop into place, better if they skip all the detail sometimes I leave it out
Lovely work Brett. I live the C47 and I'd love to build a 48 scale. I'm surprised the a Trumpeter kit was such a problem child. But you did a lovely job of them both
Currently using the Gaahleri GH-98D airbrush, very affordable and high quality, as for a compressor. I'm using one I picked up off the local classifieds. Its a red compressor that says Hyper Tough on it, 5 gallon air tank.
I've found this to be pretty common on Trumpeter/Hobby Boss kits. They get so close to having great kits, but there are usually a few issues that keep them from being great. Either fit issues, or detail issues. In this case its both.
I would've thought that the Monogram model would end up being a breeze all the way through, at least judging by the first video, but unfortunately not. Still patience and and hard work paid off, both kits ended up looking great, in the end. The less said about about the Trumpeter kit the better however.

Glad to hear there are other Kitmasx users out there! They're great!
Thanks Ian!! We really appreciate that!!!

Yeah, there is something nice about working on modern tooled kits. Well, at least most of the time.
Interesting build, I have always considered building one with paratroopers exiting the AC in flight. Would be pretty cool I think.
I agree, that would be pretty cool.
Nice work, The C47s are looking good!
Glad you like them!
Great video, thanks for sharing. I always learn new things watching your videos. Can't wait for the next episode.
Thanks for watching!

Very true!

Yeah, they both require a little bit of elbow grease, but can both be built up to look nice!
Excellent......and very enjoyable to watch 👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
Amazing work
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent work as always ☺☺

I’ve been waiting for this!!!
Cheers!
Great work Brett!!!!
Thank you!
Great video Brett, thanks for sharing, regards Liam
My pleasure!
Great work as usual. Looking to change out an old airbrush and compressor. Interested in knowing what you using.

Really cool model. 🛩
Heck yeah, whatt’an Artist
Thank you!
Thanks!!
You'd think as much as the Trumpeter kit costed then and especially now, that it would have gone together smoother.

I would say overall the Monogram kit gave me fewer problems, but it certainly needed some love.
Just a comment for the algorithm.
That's an awful big 1/4"🤣🤣
Yeah, I misspoke, it was 1/2".
