In part one we look at the kits and talk about NEW Metal Finishes (NMF). We then start the models by building and weathering the cockpits.

In part two we build the fuselages and build, weather the engine of the P-47D and attach the wings.

In Part three we mask and fix the canopies to both, Use acrylic black paint to prime the models and quickly find out we have a problem using Vallejo paint and switch to using Citadels.

In part four we use Aclad laquers to spray the P-47 we also add the olive drab to the top and black and with invasion strips.

In part five we decal both, build and spray the props and start on the weathering.

In part six we finish of both by adding a hand brushed gloss coat to the P-51 and fix the gear and small parts ready for the final reveal.
