Did I Tell You I Like Jugs?
It took a week longer than I expected but, here's the second of my 1/144 P-47D razorbacks from Platz. I think this one turned out a little better than the previous one. I had to do some reshaping on the tips of the Curtis Electric prop [...]
I Like Jugs
Not too long ago I posted an article about my 1/144 P-47D bubble tops from Platz. I had a chance to pick up the razorback version at a recent model contest. Today I present one of the two kits in the box. So, I now have another addition to [...]

RAF P-47s
Not totally oddball but 2 1/48 P-47s that served with the 73OTU in Fayid, Egypt,1945. The razorback was a Monogram kit and the bubbletop was Academy. Decals by LPS Decals "British Thunderbolts" and Iliad Decals "RAF [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 P-47D-30, Mexican Expeditionary Air Force (FAEM)

The build was [...]
