P-47D Thunderbolt – Matchbox, 1/72
Rebuild from an old-beaten up Matchbox kit from the 80's. "Unpainted" it with some brake fluid, and painted it again, just to test some techniques.
The last varnish coat produced a 'whitish' look :-/
[UPDATE] Later on, the antena [...]

The P-47 Factory

The pics show what I have done in the last 3 days, probably a 1-2 hour stretch of modelling on those days. I have been fiddling with my Airfix P-51D and a few tidy ups on the [...]
1/48 Tamiya P-47D Passionate Patsy 310th FS, 58th FG, Saidor New Guinea 1944
One of my personal favourites, and a splash of colour for good measure!
Added the Ultracast seat and wheels, decals from the excellent Thundercals range by Norris Graser.
My next razorback is actually a sister P-47, being "The Pied [...]
1/48 Tamiya P-47D Free French 1945
Tamiya kit with the usual ultracast seat and wheels.
Decals are from Berna Decals and roundels from the spares box.
Something different and eye catching compared to the usual P-47 fare...
Happy Modelling
