P51-D Mustang - Tamiya 1/48 - Full Build
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июн 2024
- Ive built Tamiya kit 61040, the North American P51-D Mustang 8th AF. This was a great kit and was relatively simple. The parts fit great and it was a straightforward build that I could recommend for beginners.
I didnt add any extra photo etch or scratch built parts to this build. At some point in the future, I will likely build another one of these with some aftermarket detail....its such a great plane I need a few on my shelf.
For those wondering, my exterior paint scheme was gloss black - Alclad II - Future - Decals - Future - Weathering (enamel panel liner and oils) - Future. The blue nose is acrylic and coated with Mr Hobby flat clear. Although Alclad technically does not need a clear coat, I like to add it for extra protection against unintentional scratches.
Finally, this was my first attempt at commentary, leave some feedback in the comments if you have any thoughts on it!

I‘ve build this Kit two Years ago,as I was an absolute Beginner!Now I see how to do it right!👍👍👍
Live and learn 😀. It's a great beginner's kit, not too complex. The real skills are in painting and detailing, and they only come from practice.
Dude, I'm living my childhood dreams of building models through you.
👍👍👍👍 Excellent!
please support my channel too :)
@@ScaleModelAssassin what is the color black used at 1:15 for the head cushion
I enjoy watching your videos with all the good tips. Excellent model building skills and the voice with microphone is a nice update. Keep them coming.
Thanks for the encouraging feedback. I've got many more planned.
Nice job and the music made it all the better to enjoy the build. Thanks!
Thanks! Good feedback for future vids
Really great videos - mix of narration and subtitles for tips and details is epic. Thanks :)
Glad you like the format, thanks!
Just got this same kit. Haven’t done a model plane since 1980, can’t wait, thanks
👍 they're still just as fun, if not better, than they were back then!
because of this video, I have now decided to buy this kit and try model building for myself! thank you!
👍 glad I could inspire you!
spot on work the finished model looks superb
Thank you! Cheers!
New to scale modelling and just about to build the Hasegawa 1/48 Pacific Theater Mustang....this was a very useful video for reference. Thank you!
Excellent! Glad you found this helpful 👍
I must say...that looks awesome!
Fantastic job as always and it's very nice to hear you and also I love the videos that folks do like these that have you talking and explaining your process !!! Excellent, brill stuff. Hope your well matey and your family ? Stay safe mukka
Thanks! Plan is to add voiceover from here on out
Thanks for this video, some really great tips for the build, I have got it in primer in no time!
Great to hear! 👍
Very nice work. Wonderful techniques!
Thank you!
Love the weathering on the propeller blades
Thanks!
Great video and results!!
Thanks 👍
...I Like your Choice of music...And NICE WORK on that MUSTANG!
Thank you very much! Good to hear some nice feedback on the music selection
I received this very kit, today.
Great build.
Thanks!
Very nice build and great video. Doing one similar. Many thanks for great ideas.
No problem 👍
Great skill !
Great job, thanks
Amazing. My favorite warbird
👍👍👍👍
I wish I was this good at making kits like this soo badass
Thanks! Glad you like it
I’m an armor modeler but recently picked up a few birds to build. I’m working on the 1:48 REVELL P-51D right now. Thanks for the simple explanation and showcasing your great build! I’m excited to work on mine even more now haha
👍 thanks and good luck on your build
Revells are kind of spotty, quality-wise. Parts often don't fit well... I understand they've improved since Hornby bought them, though. Hope your kit's a good one 😀. Me, I'd go with Tamiya or Airfix every time.
@@stevesmodelbuilds5473 I ended up tossing it, Tamiya and Airfix are definitely better.
@@Greggs.Dioramas.Scalemodels Yup. I was being generously polite... 😎. Revell's been crap since I was kid 50 years ago. I try to find unboxings and reviews for everything now, if I can. You never know if things have changed... I don't usually toss stuff, though. It can always be used for painting practice...
Very nice man, well done!
Thanks!
Nice build and choice of music. I usually use elmers glue for easily removed pieces, if I want to paint things in place, or later install/remove gear.
👍👍👍
Very nice! I am about to build this kit myself.
Thanks, it's a great kit
Wow. Amazing
It's great to see someone build an excellent model OTB with an older, inexpensive kit. Great Job!
BTW, abtielung is pronounced AB-tile-ung... German for battalion
Thanks! They're much faster and cheaper builds without all the extras. Still working on my pronunciations lol
Really cool.
In my country it costs 18$ , what a wonderful kit, fast and easy to build and paint , one weekend will be enough for it
Nice Job Buddy.!
Thank you very much!
Hello everyone and welcome to behiiind the meme!!!
This first song will haunt me for the rest of my life
Woahhhhh it's that song lmao
Bach - nice !
Excellent music choice.
Thank you!
Nice build. Who'd a thunk to use Pledge 😮👍Love your choice of music!
Thanks 😁
Well done! This is a great kit! I built one awhile back & thought I'd try an eduard next BUT you can get the Tamiya kits for under $30. I paid $22 shipped 🤗
This one is definitely cheaper, but also less detailed. Gotta pick your trade offs haha.
P51 ftw!!!
For sure!
Excellent!
Thanks!
Excellent!!!!
Thanks!
Just to let anyone who is interested i have Alclad but where i live its really hard to find it. So i tried out the Vallejo metal colors and they are practically the same as Alclad in my opinion in optic results. Just in case anyone has trouble finding one or the other. Brilliant video by the way.
Thanks, maybe I'll try out Vallejo when my alclad bottles run dry

Markings and paint job look great.
Thanks!
i love silver painted mustang
Ditto!
Fantastic job! Thanks for sharing this. I couldn't tell from the video, did you use a primer before the semi-gloss black base coat?
Thanks and I didn't use an actual primer, I just unified the surface with Tamiya sky grey paint.
Just a paint. Do you prefer not using primer ever?
@@ThePigBallz Ive flip flopped multiple times on my opinion of the necessity of primer. Ive used Mr Surfacer 1000 primer on my last few builds and the results have been good. Im not convinced its a "must" though because Ive also had good results with Tamiya sky grey.
Scale Model Assassin thanks. I appreciate the tips.
I don’t know why but my kit is missing C1 or the piece that goes right under the canopy
my next build
That's a really good idea abut using a small amount of glue on the landing doors before painting. This will save me so much time. Apologies if I missed you saying so, but I'd be interested in why you took a different approach with the canopy? I've got this plane and am new to modeling and am looking forward to starting it soon.
If I mess up the canopy (overspray) then its harder to fix since its a clear part. Nothing wrong with fixing it in place before painting and Ive seen many people do it, you just have to be a little more careful. When you see me use a canopy to protect the cockpit during painting, its usually because there's a spare variant that came with the kit.
Great. Thank you.
@@ScaleModelAssassin
Danse Macabre! Yeah Saint Saens!
👍👍👍
Good job! Did you have any problem putting the fuel tanks on after the model was finished?
No issues. Id just recommend using PVA glue so you dont damage the paint finish. Get some soft (foam) blocks to stabilize the tanks and hold them in place while they dry
Did you not encounter any issues with painting over the Tamiya polished surfaces? I never tried that as I am a bit worried that these compounds might leave some residue behind that will interfere with my metal paint coats.
I had the same concern at first, but I never had any issues with residue. There will be some polish that gets stuck in the panel lines and I just sprayed over it and it looked fine afterwards.
Hi! You are brushing the instrument panel in the cockpit as a final touch, to make it look more like metal, what is that process and what kind of color do you use?
Im drybrushing the instrument panel to help highlight the raised edges. I used XF-19 Sky Grey
I HAVE BUY TWO TAMIYA P-51D MODEL MUSTANG IN 1/48 SCALE. ONE IS MADE AS THE CHINESE KMT AIR FORCE DURING WW2 WHICH FIGHTING AGAINST THE JAPANESE. ANOTHER ONE IS MADE AS THE CHINESE PLAAF AFTER 1949
I just finished watching Ratched 10 minutes ago and when the song came on here I thought my TV had autoplayed or something.
Lol 👍
Hello
Why paint first with black? This is not pre shading?
The aluminum color Im using from Alclad will not show up properly without a black basecoat. Depending on the type of silver/aluminum paint you are using, a black basecoat could look completely different than a grey basecoat.
You should give yourself a pat on the back though. You wouldn't believe how many modelers with much more experience than you forget one important thing. The pit floor of a 51 is plywood. B,C and D models. So congrats to you! The 51 looks good
Thanks! That wooden floor is a tricky one...I almost missed it
Yes they had wood floors, but all came from the factory with a black rubber coating. If wanted some of the black can be scratched away to show a little of the wood.
Im so jealous of your Future polishing liquid. Its not available in my country T_T
Anyway, nice work sir!
Thank you! Thats too bad...what country doesnt have future? Its so economical compared to other gloss finishes
@@ScaleModelAssassin I live in South Korea. Its not imported here.

Why not use pva glue for the landing gear doors instead of cement
I probably could have used PVA just fine, but I happened to pick Tamiya extra thin instead. I do like the viscosity of extra thin and that it either evaporates or falls directly into the cracks between parts
Just to add; Weathering looks great - not overdone and 'to scale', if you will.
So many otherwise-great builds are let down by over-weathering, IMO...
Thanks! 👍👍👍
Why not painting with gloss black paint instead of polishing?
I might have been out of gloss black at the time. I likely would have still polished it even if I used gloss black though. It helps guarantee a smooth surface.
I just got the same plane today but i don't have the money for paint and glue and a paint sprayer
It's a good kit but you'll definitely need some glue at a minimum
@@ScaleModelAssassin thanks for the info man
Pero cómo le ago para conseguir los modelos AKI en gto gto mexicoy
lo siento no se. orden en internet?
♫Danse Macarbre♫ shades of J Creek .
where is the canopy drill you used from??
Bought the drill and the bits separately, both from Amazon. Just search micro drill (bits)
@@ScaleModelAssassinan leftys use spru cutters?
No I don't use sprue cutters. I just cut pieces off with my hobby knife
how would you pre shade if doing a chrome plane like sabre?@@ScaleModelAssassin
hmmm Ive never tried to pre shade under a nmf so I would just be guessing. Maybe spray a little weaker on your panel lines so some of your black undercoat still shows through. Theres also the option of post shading
I'm calling BS on putting the antenna wire through the canopy. I can't find any image of a D model mustang with such a set up. Please share your source.
Search "p51 d mustang 1945 antenna". While most pictures are too grainy to definitively say, I found 2 references from the era:
www.bchsnow.org/artifact.cfm?id=271&featured=WWII_P51D&caption=P-51D%20Mustang%20at%20Corvallis%20Air%20Show
Pause the video at 18:06 - ruclips.net/video/CzLRlwHExqE/видео.html
Ive read the debates as to whether the 8th AF did/did not have this wire...may not have been present. But I did find reference photos of P51-D's with the wire going through the canopy.
Eighth AF P-51Ds had upgraded radios, so they didn't require the antenna wire.
👍👍👍
👍
why you repload ?
Fixed an issue with the landing gear
8th AF Mustangs had no Antenna cable.
Wish I was that good lol
Just takes practice lol. and patience.
Bro I live ww2 it theee best
Uhh dude Ik what you meant but war is never the “best”
Your voice n fingers dont match up🤣.. btw nicely built kit..thnks.
Lol 👍
Why’d it get re-uploaded?
The landing gear struts were on backwards....embarrassing lol. I sawed them off this morning, drilled a hole in each one, inserted wire to help strengthen where I would re attach, then superglued in place.
I didn’t even notice :P
howdy ho...
💩 *Closest emoji I could find to Mr. Hankey
