Marcel Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Time to finish another one: Tamiya’s little P-47 Bubbletop. Eduard Zoom PE set added together with Master gun barrels. This is my first natural metal finish after 15 years so please have a mercy on me. I used different shades of Alclad and I like the brand a lot. The decals are some leftover pieces (the "23" number should look a bit different but I wasn’t able to find the right font). Anyway here it is, a French Bubbletop of GC 2/5 "La Fayette" in Colmar, 1945: 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Schilhart Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 A rather different Thud. Nice to see in French markings! Beautiful build. The anti-glare panel looks a bit yellow-ish, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Builder Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Superb job mate. Love the weathering. Love the paint job and variation in the panels. Great job on keeping the canopy clear and painted well. All round excellent work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Beautiful 47 👌 ! I wouldn't have known about the "font" issue had you not pointed it out. Im the type of modeler that if it quacks like 🦆. Looks like a 🦆. Then its a 🦆. Im not bothered by fonts, scale fading paint or rivet counting.

WildeSau75 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Nice TBolt - good to see one in a different livery. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Beautiful work! That natural metal finish is as good as any I've seen. Great build, thanks for posting it up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Thank you very much guys. Roman, let us pretend it is faded, OK? French sun you know, not Vienna or Budweis In the meantime I have been informed by a French friend that the ID bands were yellow - so there will be some changes. OK, we live to learn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Very nice P-47. As others have said, nice to see one in French markings, and it's very nicely finished. I'd be very happy with that if it was 1/48, let alone 1/72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
