1/48 Tamiya P-47D “Nut Cracker” 405th FG
I am going back and revisiting some of my older P-47s and giving them additional weathering and tidy ups where possible. As we all know trying to work on finished models has it share of risk...I managed to snap the UC leg on this one [...]
Witold Lanowski’s P-47M of the 56th fighter Group
Writing in the "Flight Journal," P-47 special issue, famed Grumman test pilot Corky Meyer - the last actual "airplane guy" to head a major airplane company - named the P-47 Thunderbolt the "best fighter of World [...]
Revell 1/72 P-47M
Salute, gents.
This is Revell's P-47M in 1/72, a kit which has strong and weak points. It is a bit of a mixed bag: some of the molding is great, with fine details (wings, most of the fuselage, landing gear and wheels), and there are parts [...]

Hasegawa's 1/32 P-47D
Hello. I would like to introduce you to Helen Jo of the 356th FS 9th AF.
I wanted to use some of this AK Interactive's Xtreem Metal for quite a while. I find that is is easy to apply and actually stays put when you prep the surface well. [...]

1/48 Pro Modeler P-47N “Too Big – Too Heavy, Short Snorter” 333rd FS / 318st FG, Ie Shima
Having been inspired by Neil Foster's recent P-47 build (which is excellent), and as a follow up on my last two P-47 postings, as promised, here's my rendition of the "Pro Modeler" kit.
I built this kit when it was first [...]
