Tamiya 1/48 P-47D Razerback 2Lt Lloyd Hathcock
My third in a series of aircraft flown by the Tuskegee airman. This one depicts a P-47D flown by 2Lt Hathcock with the 301st Fighter Squadron in Ramitelli, Italy. Build pretty much out of the box, but I did include a Ultracast seat and [...]
Hasegawa's 1/32 P-47D
Hello. I would like to introduce you to Helen Jo of the 356th FS 9th AF.

Here's a kit that I built almost straight from the box about 10 years ago or so...

P-47D Thunderbolt
An impulse build after the 1:48 Airfix Spitfire from a month or so ago. Five weeks from cracking the box to what you see here – and yes I know I haven’t painted the sway braces on the pylons and centreline yet.
