September 16, 2023 · in Aviation · · 32 · 451

This is 1/32 Trumpeter P-47 Thunderbolt with the markings of P-47D5 (42-8487) flown by Cpt Walker M. Mahurin 63rd FS, 56th FG Halesworth-England in March 1944.
I have used Eduard PE cockpit set and Hasegawa's P-47 rudder pedals ( Trumpeter's rudder pedal are not suitable for the razorback version)
I have used Quickboost's engine set with Trumpeter's magneto
Cowling flaps part backdated to D5
I have used Eduard Brassin wheel set.
Paints are Gunze acrylics
Decals: National insignias are from Barracuda decal set.
Customized fuselage code letters were produced by customhobbydecal from Australia.

Happy Modelling
