by Frederick J Seitz III on February 27, 2013 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

Little older kit here but fit seems decent. So far so good and it's about ready to paint her up. NMF on the lower surfaces and Kawanashi Navy Green on the top. More pictures to follow... Freddie

1:48 Scale, Tamiya P-47D-15Re, "Thunderbolt"

by Frederick J Seitz III on February 26, 2013 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

One of MY favorite models of all time. I know Koppos has that theme running but I have to say this is one really well engineered kit and it's a terriific build. This time, I did build the model OOB. It really doesn't need to have [...]
