For his latest stop motion assembly video, YouTuber and master modeler Tom Grigat of TOMs Modelling in Motion has selected the Hobby Boss P-51D Mustang “Yellow Nose” (Product Link) in 1/48 scale.

As Tom points out: “Since I tried to compare the kit to the recent eduard P-51D royal class kit, I added some aftermarket parts to the kit.” These include: Eduard interior, No: 49603; HGWmodels/Eduard seatbelts, No: 148003; Aires “Wheel bay set with doors”, No: 4613; Alutubes from Albion Alloys; Rubber thread from Uschi van der Rosten and Quickboost Resin Propeller.

The latest stop-motion assembly video from Modeler extraordinaire Tom Grigat was posted today, and it showcases Airfix’s recently released 1/24 scale Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat.

The clip due to the shear amount of pieces is my longest so far and shows the stopmotion animation of assembling the beautiful kit of one of the best american fighters of world war two with some very nice additional detailing products:

– Cockpit detailing set from airscale.co.uk
– Seatbelts from hgwmodels.cz
– Rods and tubes from albion alloys
– Engine upgrade set from anyz.io
– Tyres, wheel doors and brass undercarriages from Aerocraft models
– Colours from Alclad II

Airfix “Silver Spitfire” FR Mk.XIV Assembled in Stop Motion [Video]

In his newest stop motion assembly video, modeler Tom Grigat takes on the new Airfix Supermarine Spitfire FR Mk XIV kit in 1/48 scale.

Grigat notes that the cockpit painting employed a combination of humbrol and alclad II milspec colors while the pilot is painted with acrylic colors from vallejo. The entire aircraft coat is painted with alclad II chrome on a base of alclad glossy white and glossy black sealed with aqua gloss.

This time I tried the stressed skin effect in a more subtle way compared to the extreme effect I got with the B-17 G in 1/72. Hope it worked better this time…The additional rivets were made with the tool “rosie the riveter” and the gun barrels are brass tubes from albion alloys.
