How to paint Spitfire Rolls-Royce Merlin engine - Eduard 1/48

You are nice
I bought already 4 airbrushes and i've done something false because all were destroid
I dont know what was that and iam very angry
Thanks for your tips

What adhesive are you using here? Thanks for your vids!!

Where did u get those small pencils?

Congratulations for your great job.
What kind of brushes do you use for painting the small details, i mean, what size?

seeing this video made me think about the old revell spitfire mk 2 that I converted to a PR mk 1. I scratch made an engine similar to that with polystyrene sheet and some spare road wheels from a Panzer IV. It is not half as good as that engine.

Beautiful work!

A really stupid question: Can you actually listen to this music when you are painting the small details? BTW your micromotor skills are quite remarkable.

Hello... question..for one DB from Eduard 1/32 for one Me109 Revell. So concerning the engine i have to put all parts together and paint black etc like you did or i have to paint some parts like hoses etc before? what do you reccomend? Thank's in advance.

what type if brushes i must buy for the detailing? The very fine ones...

what are the brushes you are using to paint the detail on your engines? i cant seem to find anything like it anywhere.

Where do you get this white oil paint from?

You know a good way of getting paint on those small details if you want to paint your stock plastic control panel/dashboard is to paint a hard flat area white and as long as you make sure there is only a small amount of paint, after the black paint you can press the dashboard onto the area with the white paint. The raised details will now have a coat of white ! :)

Do you think you can tone down the music volume a bit? It's hard to hear you when the music is at a good volume.

What Air Brush are you using?

What razor saws do you use?

Thanks for the text telling what product you are using at each step. That helps very much.

Can anyone tell me where I can get the petrol tank? Thanks.

all of your works are amazing, wish you would do more modern american machines like abrams and bradley and B-1 lancer and so on

what kind of brushes are you using? They look like calligraphy brushes?

If you wish to be prototypical Rolls-Royce engines are painted in an 80% gloss black this means everything. ignition leads were often black cotton braided and the name was never painted in. Boring I know and does not make for interesting models but id you wish to be a rivet counter that is how you should paint a Merlin. How do I know? I have access to an un-restored Merlin.

Absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing!

Absolutely gorgeous engine

How would you recommend painting the cable features on a bf109e engine, which is painted black enamel? The instructions show the cable detail painted in gunmetal ( 56 ) but they are really narrow and hard to paint using a brush.

If this is supposed to be a Merlin engine the prop blades are rotating the wrong way

What kind of brush did you use for detailing?

Clear varnish is brillant? satin?

Now how did you make the fuel tank ????

Pro

Insane!

Excellent job David!

Would you have any tips for building 1/24 scale merlin engines as I am building 2 of them for a build project, they are a little more detailed than the one showcased in this video by the way. I also want to say that your videos have inspired me to be better at scalemodeling and to try new techniques that I never would of thought about before, my models have been getting much more realistic as I have been watching your videos, thanks

The ignition wires are brilliant.

Fun to watch a pro working, thank you.

Just got a 1/24 spitfire in pieces it's missing alot it seems like

Could someone explain how David uses GX100 Super Clear III coat after as it has different from aclrylic base and might melt the acrlylic XF69 coat of water-based paint?

I have found all your video's very very instructive.I have one question, why do you not paint the piece's BEFORE construction?

i wish the trumpeter kit had this detail on the engine

What do you say at 4 minutes, what’s applied after black panel lines ?

Your 1/48 scale models are simply incredible!

Nicely done

It’s so good. Really true work of art.

Excellent job! Nice to see how you do it. I still have my P51 to do. Now i know how to do the details.

Superb detailing !

Gorgeous.

I take it the pigments were fixed in place with Pigment fixer as well as water?

Well job! Why dont you use the same technic when you paint the copkit ? Use two base color to create more shadow?

I enjoy watching you build British aircraft. I am right know building a Tamiya spitfire mk.3.

Nice, but oh dear Lord that music! I lasted four minutes.

Dry brush <3

Your work is incredible your hands are so steady One nitpick I wish the music (which by the way is always interesting and cool) was a little bit quieter I'm sure I'll get my head ripped off 💀 for saying this lol but anyway I love watching your videos regardless ☺️
