FAB Brazilian Air Force P-47D,Academy 1/48.
Hi Friends,
My last work was a P-47D Thunderbolt, with Brazilian markings, used at WWII by FAB ( Brazilian Air Force) to help the allied forces, for combat the german army in italy in 1944. These planes later went to Brazil, and became part of the air force, along with the P-40 and soon the more modern Gloster Meteor. The kit in question is sold in Brazil by the HTC store with its own box, decals, and instructions, but the molds are provided by Academy. The color scheme was olive green and neutral gray. I used humbrol colors, pre shading method, and some weathering. here it is.
Love this! Great finish and scheme. Excellent result, thanks for sharing!
Great result, Eduardo @eduardomorcego
Beautiful scheme and markinga on this Brazilian P47.
Very nice and different, Eduardo
Amazing result and a very nice scheme, Eduardo Augusto!
Nice work, Eduardo! Brazilian P-47s are great modeling subjects.
Looks great! I have decals to make a 1/72 version of this. I think the Jug looks great with Brazilian markings.
Nice work and a very good result.
Well done, Eduardo (@eduardomorcego). Brazilian markings always look great and serve as a great way to display familiar planes in unusual markings.
G'day Eduardo (@eduardomorcego),
Like may others here, I want to build a Brazilian P-47 one day.
I just need to find the 1/48 decals, I guess.
Liked very much.
I will help you to find the decals. just ask me.. regards.
G'day Eduardo (@eduardomorcego),
Thanks for the offer, but I'm half joking.
I have seen sheets on ebay, but they have a dozen or so schemes and I only want to do one.
If I see them at a swap meet one day I'll buy them, though.
(I do have an old ESCI 1/72 scale sheet with a Brazilian P-47 that I never got around to using).
