P-47D, Academy 1/48, 313th FS/ 50th FG, Philip Savides
Here is my last built.
The Academy kit was a surprise for me. Very nice and easy kit.
I used LM decals.

A very nice looking Thunderbolt, Kipdarks.
I agree with Greg about the weathering.
Also the NMF looks very nice.

The second-best P-47 kit, turned into a first-best model! I like it.

You have just made a very honorable symbolic model of this P-47.
The weathering looks good and realistic , it has an appearance of a
hint of a " WORN " look. Shiny to a little but one can still see the bare metal finish, good work Kipdarks.

Nicely done! The P-47 always lends it self well to nose art.
