Р- 47D " Razorback", Republic “Thunderbolt” 1:72 by Hasegawa


Recommended Posts

 

 

So, another airplane today. It is a fourth publication of my work on a forum.

 Р- 47D " Razorback" 61st FS/56th/8th AF Flown by Lt.Frank W.Clibbe.

HISTORY:

Of all the major American Air Force fighters of WWII, only the Republic “Thunderbolt” was powered by an air-cooled radial engine.

With external drop tanks a range sufficient to reach Berlin from England was achieved and “Thunderbolts”  began escorting American heavy bombers right to the target and back.

My Р- 47D " Razorback" was completed in building 31.12.2016

very nice build mate - could easily pass as 1/48. The color is a bit on the brown side for an OD scheme. But maybe that's just me. Otherwise, a really great model. 

 

Cheers,

Michael

Thank You, Michael.

 

Thank You, Greg.

 

 I hope, new works will be soon.

Keep them coming mate! Looking forward!

 

And by the way - your two Thunderbolt models of two generations look great beside each other. Both mean looking ground pounders of their time.

 

Cheers,

Michael

You are absolutely right. Two epochs, two famous aircraft, nice view...but modelist is single :);)

Wow, that's an awesome build!

I think you got the OD finish spot-on - it has a tendency to vary a lot in hue due to weathering, wear, paint specs (and whether they're followed rigidly),etc. so no complaints at all from me. :)
