1/48 Tamiya P-47D-20 “Vonnie”
This is 1/48 Tamiya P-47D-20 with the markings of “Vonnie” 509 FS,504 FG flown by William McCrystal.
Standard Olive drab and Neutral Grey finish with red cowl, wing tips, tail bands and canopy trim.
Cockpit modified with Eduard instrument panel and seat belts.
Painting done with Gunze acrylics.
Resin wheels are from Ultracast
I have used Eagle Strike #48098 “American Jabos Pt.VII” decal set.
Happy Modelling
That is one bad-a*s looking P-47 Bolt! Really all around great build and top of my list on Thunderbolt models.
Thanks
Tolga...you've got to be one of the best modelers I've ever had the pleasure to see.
Thanks Craig much appreciated.
Craig's right for my money, best Jug I've seen since...well, since the last Jug you made.
Another Goldilocks build from the master.
I wonder why the lower half of the cowling is painted Black? Is that for identification of the squadron or unit. Was it scabbed off of a night fighter or another squadron wreck?
Thanks Stephen
It may be taken from another Thunderbolt as a spare part.
Beautiful work, Tolga. Is that a bronze-green in the cockpit - a little unusual?!
Thanks Rob
I have used Gunze H302 FS34092 which is very close to dark dull green.
I have used this color for years on my P-47 project

Another Tolga masterpiece! Just excellent work and craftsmanship here.
Tolga, Very well done! Of coarse I'm a big P-47 fan, therefore its always nice to see one done well. Thanks for sharing.
Great work Tolga, your P-47's are always special.
Vonnie is one the schemes on my to do list as well, super effort!
Tolga...you are a Master at our hobby and as such you set a high standard for the rest of us to aspire to. Awesome work.
Thank you for your comments.
Much appreciated
That's another beauty Tolga! Love it.
Fantastic
