- In this model making technique video I will be showing how to paint radial aircraft engines. This is one step of model making I really enjoy, and this easy technique can enhance the detail of a kit regardless of the age of the kit. I finished five engines from four different kit manufacturers using this same technique and I'm pleased with the results. The scope of this video covers the painting process but does not cover superdetailing an engine by adding spark plug wires, etc. Let me know what you think!

GOOD MORNING 🌞
I was looking forward to seeing this…
I always want to find ways to detail and paint Engines…
It’s not difficult, it seems cockpits get the most attention from modelers…
I love how the engines you did are all the same…. BUT
The level of details changes so drastically…
I always watch your videos a number of times…
Getting ready to leave for the
IPMS Show and TOY FAIR…
Not sure what I’m going to find, just going to see everything is FUN…
I still have the NICHIMO KATE Torpedo Bomber on deck to build, it has a nice engine to paint and detail…
YES, I’m ready to start a NEW Build, just gotta make it happen….
THANKS JON FOR YOUR TIME AND WORK PUTTING THIS CHANNEL TOGETHER
You do simplify many phases of model building
For me at least !!!!!!
Some coffee, and I’m off to
BUY MODELS 😊….
Have a great rest of the weekend…..

Thanks, Chris! Enjoy the show. I'm sure there will be some interesting kits there. Cheers!
Thank you for sharing your skills and expertise on this subject. I have many kits that this technique will enhance.

You're welcome, Larry!
2100 South Australia. Evening Jon & all. Engines are looking good. They will look nice on the finished kits. Engines are quite visible on the Jug.
Spent a bit of time on the Polikarpov I-16 engine and exhausts. If you look really, really hard you can just see something in the darkness through the cooling vents!
Started on the HB IAR-80 as well now. Cheers Matt 🦘🦘🦘
Very cool, Matt! I have two I-16s on the shelf with the barely-visible engines you mentioned. Was it worth detailing them? At least we're not worried when a flashlight appears. The IAR-80 from HB is one I would love to build! Cheers!
Reasonably well ?, I'd say awesome Jon. Especially liked the homemade wash, I just can't quite get the commercial ones to work right yet. On some of my older gets I added copper or gold to bring out the detail even though that was not accurate it popped the engine out. 1/72 engines are though to do but 1/48 are just the right size. I can only imagine the detail obtainable on 1/32 and 1/24 scales. Thanks for sharing, I feel like hitting the work bench. Cheers, Bob
Thanks, Bob! Copper spark plug wires would be a fun (but time-consuming) addition to the engines. But that's outside the scope of this video. I Imagine a 1/32 scale radial should look really good. Cheers!
Nice video. Very good tips, thank you for sharing. Greetings from Portugal 😉🤙
PORTUGAL 🇵🇹…. Cool 😎
That’s one of the things I love about social media and the Model building Hobby…
Glad to see your comment
This is a great channel, keep watching….

Thank you! Greetings from Pennsylvania, USA!
Spot on Jon! Great tips! Sometimes I will airbrush the base as to avoid pooling paint which can take away some details. But yes, I still use testors too for engines! Thanks
👍🏻 Good old Testors silver! Cheers!
Hola Jon, disculpas por no traducir, me parece que este tipo de video, es de una gran ayuda, siempre que toca detallar el motor, debo buscar más información que sobre el avión mismo jajajajaja, es por ello que como referencia futura para mis P47 estará como base este video.
Lastima que Testors esté desapareciendo con varios de sus colores, acá se vieron los esmaltes principalmente, en cuanto a colores yo estoy usando MR Color y Súper Mr Color Metallic II, además de algunos Alclad II, detalles metálicos en acrílicos, pero hay un abismo de diferencia, espero el próximo video y gracias por tu tiempo, saludos amigo.
PD: el FW 190 D 9 Eduard ya en fases finales, mandaré todas las fotos del proceso jajajaja
Hola Francisco! ¡Me alegra que este vídeo te resulte útil como referencia! ¡También me alegra saber que estás conquistando el Eduard Fw190D-9! ¡Espero ver las fotos! Salud
I guess I be late. It's 10:00 am!! Well done as always. Just show's what can be done right outta da box! Has inspired me to just get on with it and enjoy my modeling!
Thanks, Jeff!
Those look great...
Im trying ro stay away from oil based paints, but if its the best color i use em too..
Man those engines look Mahvelous!😊
Thanks, Steve! It's hard to beat Testors silver for drybrushing. Cheers!
Hi Jon. P-47N (and M) did sport the P&W R-2800 "late" (similar to the R-2800 fitted on Vought F4U-4). So, the engine of the Academy kit (for that version of P-47) not only it is poorly detailed, it is wrong. 😊
You're correct, Giovanni! I will talk about this fact in my Academy P-47N build log that is coming up. I'll even include pictures of what it should look like. Cheers!
Good advice, thanks Jon!
You're welcome!
I fly RC aircraft - and the stock engines in these kits are not nearly as detailed as yours. But thanks for sharing. I think I can use some of your techniques to enhance my efforts.
Right on!
Very interesting and good video. My technique is not much different from yours. The main difference is the type of wash I use, being the engine grime wash from AK. I’m currently building the old Airfix 1/24 scale FW 190 and it’s radial engine turned out quite nicely.
Very nice!
@@jonsmodelkitreview4624, I’ll make a video once finished. It’s a nice kit but troubled with some serious warping and big gaps (at least my kit).
@@natalebabbo-gunplaanddioramas That's common on some older kits (and some newer kits). I haven't built a kit in 1/24 scale yet, other than cars. Cheers!
@@jonsmodelkitreview4624, you may want giving a try on a 1/24 airplane. The newer Airfix 1/24 Spitfire har received good reviews and may not have warping issues. I’m a sucker for vintage kits so I must accept their eventual flaws….
@@natalebabbo-gunplaanddioramas Sounds like fun!
