    If time permits, I would really like to build this one for the GB too...
    Major Eagleston and his P-47D.


    I have everything to do it using a Tamiya 1/48 scale T-bolt. The decals I have are made by Super Scale International.

    I've never built a Tamiya 1/48 scale T-bolt. They say they go together very nice.

    Now I have almost talked myself into doing one, time permitting.

    Louis, what's the number on that Superscale Eagleston decal sheet for his P-47? I've wanted to do that one since the Hawk P-47.

    I'll post the number for the decals in a little while. I have a few chores to get done before I can do this.

    I'm actually thinking about building this one now. Once I get you the decal sheet part number, why don't you get a set and we can both build one ? That would really be cool.

    We could coach each other along the way, and warn if any problems came up. I have some research handy on the colors used by Republic on the P-47's should you decide to join us.

    Very cool ! Is it 1/48 or 1/72 scale ?

    I have the decals to build one in 1/48 scale and was planning on building it up for this GB.


    Using the old Monogram B-24 J kit

    and lots of Bare Metal Foil.

    Hi Louis. Its the Monogram 1/48 and s/scale. Around 35 years old or so. More Photos in my topic 'survivors' cheers.

    Thanks, great idea! I have a couple of P-47s (whew! almost said Jugs-close one!) I can remember when micro/super decals were in the 10s and 20s!

    I have this 1/48 Stuka in the stash...


    It would be another good candidate.

    I was online an ran across these airline planes that are brightly painted. Any of these would be a great choice for the nose art Group Build.








    There are many other brightly colored airliners that would really be cool if someone would build up a few.

    Wow Louis - it'd be a brave man to take those airliners on! They look fantastic! The QANTAS plane is especially pretty!

    Jaime - how do you want the 'reveal' to go? My Mustang is done - are we waiting until the end or posting as we go?
