1/48 Tamiya P-47 D30 "TuAF Thunderbolt"
Here is my recently (and freshly) finished model. This is 1/48 Tamiya P-47 D30 Thunderbolt with the markings of Turkish Air Force (TuAF). The base kit is Tamiya's P-47 M .
It is built OOB except for Eduard seat belts, instrument panel and Ultracast wheels.
Happy modelling
Very well done! That's a sharp looking bird.
One of my favorite aircraft and a job well done as usual, Tolga. But listen...stop puttin' red squares on everything you build. Thunderbolts and Super Sabres and such just don't LOOK RIGHT, know what I mean, dude? It's like that P-51 "Jelly Belly" air racer. That borders upon blasphemy, IMO. Just raggin' on ya, Tolga...you finish 'em however you see fit. Certainly can learn a lot from just lookin' at your work. Always nice work. You aren't by any chance Turkish, are ya? :>)
Craig, he is Turkish 🙂
Craig, I m sorry but you have to bear with red squares on my models due to my nationality.But don t worry, I m planning another P-47 session with USAF insignia just special for you:)
Nothing short of fantastic, Tolga. Bravo.
I can't make up my mind, which one of your models I like the best.
Another stunning model, Tolga. Not much more to say.
I too cannot make up my mind which of your models I like best. Each time you put one up, I say "that's the one!"
That Tamiya P-47M kit is great - you can do everything from a P-47D-25 to a P-47D-40, and then a P-47M too.
Thanks to all for their comments
Yes Tom exactly; Tamiya s P-47 kits are excellent and I have already a large stock of unbuilt P47. Most of them ( with USAF markings:) ) added to my bucket list.
Large stock ? Larger than importer's stock I bet 🙂
Uh! Probably Ozkan is right. I can compete with our local importer about P-47 stock level.
Is this love? Or as it s described on medical science it s a kind of deep obsession.Your choice 🙂
A very nice Jug! One of the features which are most interesting for me is the peculiar pattern of mg's alignment lines on the wings – here it looks like a double set was used. A very nice photography too.
Thanks Marek
