  1. What a great collection of P47's you have, Darren.
    Another beautiful one.

  2. Darren, as I mentioned earlier this one is my favourite! And the option with the NMF engine cowl is much more appealing than the OD alternative. This manufacturer gives a lot of eye catching razorbacks

  3. I go with Pedro @holzhamer: this is my favorite scheme, too.
    Amazing building, as the others.

  4. Another great-looking T-Bolt! Well done.

  5. Beautiful build and finish I love the P-47 a favorite of mine. You nailed it!

  6. Looks great, nice scheme!

  7. Darren beautiful looking Razorback and excellent ghoice of markings. Love the overall finish ! I to am buildin the same plane as we speek 🙂

  8. Looks great Darren (@darren-d). I just got the Thundercals set for San Antonio Rose, so I may have to move my Razorback farther up the build list.

  9. G'day Darren,
    I had just come across these decals online the other day and here you've gone and built four of them.
    You've done a great job on all of them.

  10. G'day Darren,
    Can I ask why you painted the cowling bare metal when the decal sheet profile has it camouflaged?

  11. Hi Michael
    The P-47 had NMF later in life, see pics. The instructions make note of it as well, good reasearch from Norris Graser as always on his decals sheets.
    Thanks
    Darren

  12. Excellent work.
    Looks like it just rolled out of the factory 🙂
    Much better than that one in the old photo.

    Have you added any "battle weathering" ?

    Also doesn't the kit come with the pilot figure ?
