78 Years Ago Today
Dawn was already rising with Double Wartime Dalight Savings at 0200, June 6, 1944, to reveal cloudy skies from horizon to horizon. The rumble of 48 Pratt and Whitney R-2800s reverberated across the quiet English countryside that surrounded [...]
Tamiya P-47D-30-RE, 'The Bubbletop over Asia'

Personally, I'm a razorback fan over the bubbletop, and when I think razorback I can't help but think D-Day stripes which really narrowed down the sort of scheme I wanted to do for the build.
This kit is the Tamiya's offering in 1/48, [...]
P-47 Thunderbolt "Little Chief"
Tamiya's 1/48 P-47 Thunderbolt build straight out of the box. I actually started this model sometime around 2001ish and had it about 95% complete around the time my daughter was born later that year. So for that and other real world [...]
