TEMPESTMK5 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Good afternoon My second entry in this Gb will be the aircraft flown by Capt Kenneth DAHLBERG during his tour with the 353Fs 354 Fighter Group in wich He scored 3 kills https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_H._DahlbergI am going to replace the seat by a Pavla one and use a Yahuu Instrument panel instead of the part proposed by Tamiya Some books I started painting the cockpit in interior green , wheel wells in Yellow Zing Chromate , landing gear in silver ..Patrice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEMPESTMK5 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 I would like to know the type of propeller I should use on this aircraft and if someone could help me with some good pics I would be very gratful . Patrice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfqweofekwpeweiop4 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Almost certainly the 'paddle' blade type, which I'm sure was introduced early in 44. I did this one from the Academy kit and it is depicted carrying 3 500lb bombs, as I've seen a pic of either that aircraft or a squadron mate with that load. thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEMPESTMK5 Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Good morning Once finished Ken Dahlberg's Jug should look like this one flown by Maj Glenn Eaglestone except for the kill markings and Eagle emblem ..

Patrice Note that Eaglestone's was a later batch, possibly D-30 as it had the fin fillet but yes, very similar. I have a pic in the 9th AF P-47Aces Book with a plane from that squadron with 3 500lb bombs.... aarrrr cool colour scheme!!! Yes indeed! thanks Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Bonsoir Patrice, That's a truly fantastic paint scheme you have chosen. Well done! It's going to look real nice. Re the Yahu IP, I doubt anybody would notice if you used the old type! Affaire a suivre! JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookenbacher Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Excellent progress on all three of your builds Patrice. I didn't realize how much the Tamiya Razorback kit differs from the bubble top. It would be nice if the Razorback came with a separate rudder too.

Good morning Cookenbacher Thank you , I agree with you it would be a good idea to have a separate rudder .. It would be nice if the price ot the Razorback was the same as the Bubbletop ...
