- Welcome to this requested tutorial on how to paint Second World War exhausts. The subject is a set from Eduard's Brassin range in 1:48 for the Spitfire V however the technique is applicable to pretty much all scales and aeroplanes from the period. I hope you find it useful and if you have any requests for other videos in the series put a comment in the section below.
This is a great example of what makes your tutorials among the best; you kick off with a result that makes me wonder "how the hell did he do that?", then show exactly how you did that, no faff, no bs, just clear steps in 8 minutes. Thanks Jamie 👍
Thanks mate, glad you like it
That's a real masterclass Jamie and much appreciated. How about a vid on tyres?
Sure Phil
great method.. I also use Liquitex Inks on a sponge sometimes (in larger scales) to add variation to the color (I don't like them to all look the same).
Good tip Simon
Another fine masterclass, thanks!! Can you show us how you paint & detail aero-engines (radial or inline…); so many great cast resin and 3D printed items these days, ✌️
When I do a radial, sure thing
Definitely useful! How about a quick video on making tyres look dirty?
Sure, tyres it is
Very realistic. One thing most modelers get wrong by just painting good old black. Just follow your steps and what a difference ! Thanks for the important tip !
Cheers Joe
Thanks for sharing I will definitely give it a go ! ✌🏻🇨🇦✌🏻
Great
Thanks for doing this video Jamie , so beneficial, excellent example of this important stage of painting a “Exhaust“ I always learn absolutely a shed full of information from you video /tutorials , please keep them coming 😎👌👍
Thanks Tony, will do
Thank for this episode. I really needed to know the right technique to paint the exhausts.
Thanks mate
Mate....You made that look so easy,. 'Look' too easy, they are amazing.
Thanks mate
Great job! Appreciate it very much. That will be more than useful 👍☕🐢
Thanks mate
Ultra useful, Jamie, I've seen many videos on this subject, and this one achieves the effect exactly as I'd like to see it.
Cheers Tom
Very nice, thanks for that. 👍
Thanks mate
Hi jamie, what a fantastic tutorial. Just what's needed as I've always struggled with painting exhausts but not anymore after watching this tutorial. Thank you, buddy. How about a video on painting props. Cheers Gary 🇬🇧
Thanks Gary
Just what the Doctor ordered and perfect timing.👍
Thanks mate
The oil treatment at the end was new for me. Thanks.
Thanks mate
Hi Jamie, thank you for this brief yet informative tutorial. Now I must practice! It's all about practice and repetition, isn't it? Looking forward to more of this type of tutorial. Not overly long, just right in timing. Cheers, Sek Chuan.
Practice is so important, as are references
Thanks for this. I have always been happy with my exhausts, but I now realise I can do better.
Thanks mate
Good technique. Keep seeing rusty exhausts on models. Never seen a rusty exhaust IRL or pictures.
References are vital mate
There are LOTS of pictures showing exhausts looking exactly like this.
It's not really rust, it's a discolouration (patina) of the metal due to constant heating/cooling.
A much needed tutorial. Thanks Jamie. Observation should be enough to replicate but it is common for (pedantic) modellers wanting the information to know why. WW2 aircraft used several alloyed parts to be welded together. Nickel, iron, carbon, austenitic stainless steel are some examples. One of the benefits is anti corrosion in the form of rust protection for most of an exhaust stack on, for instance, a Spitfire, Mustang or Mosquito. Late examples 1943- used carbon steel flanges to have an equalized expansion rate so the exhaust would not become loose with the increased heat of the higher performance supercharged engines, in this case the flanges would rust. More info on Key.Aero, Historic Aviation Metallurgy Exhaust.
When I said they didn't rust, what I meant was the whole thing wasn't bright orange!
Understood your comments and agree. What I wrote is for others to read to back your point so they see it from the metallurgical side and can investigate further if interested. I had a business for twenty six years designing/fabricating/building high end custom motorcycles and welding was a big part of that . I needed to know metal compositions and how to weld them successfully to withstand dynamic forces, vibration and various temperatures so the welds could be relied on not to crack. @@thescalemodellingcafe
Beautiful I we’ll give that ago on my next spitfire and other ww2 aeroplanes very usual
Thanks Jaime ❤
Thanks Duncan
Lovely stuff - added to the save list! Off now to see if you've done one on tracks.......🤔
Oh, tanks....... maybe one day Jeff
Thanks for the info it will help a lot. Could you possibly expand the video to the turbo superchargers on a p-38? That is such a critical visual on a p-38 model.
I don't have a P-38 in the pipeline. However, I'd use a greyer tone for the base coat but other than that the technique would be the same. Or you could just use this technique from the start.
top job mate!
Thanks mate
That was great, amazing result. Thank you for the tutorial.
Thanks Mark
Very nice work. Thank to share.
Thanks mate
Love this. Thanks Jamie. 😀
Thanks Ronald
Great stuff 👍
Thanks mate
Good done! All the best for You! ;)
Thanks mate
Hey Jamie - what a great video, do you fancy doing exhausts on a king TIger?
Er..........
