qn30jEkPz7 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) About time I dipped a toe in the group build waters. In the stash I happen to have sets containing a pair of P-47 Thunderbolts that would fit the remit. and Unfortunately on inspection the box art on the Academy one is waaaaaay off and both actually have very similar colour schemes which would be a bit dull. Thankfully @warhawk kindly came to the rescue with decals for two alternative schemes So mulling over what to pick for the jugs I realised one set depicts a plane called Ole Cock III and another is Balls Out and the immature Viz reader in me had the casting vote over which decals to use.

qn30jEkPz7 Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 A start made Academy Revell and after a quiet afternoon both are ready for buttoning up - only addition is masking tape belts in the Academy one to busy up the seat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qn30jEkPz7 Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 State of play before I disappear off for a week or so on holiday. Academy on the right has had a start on the engine and the main structures of both are coming together. I’ve started reworking both cockpits to replace the gunsight which was just an opaque part painted silver with transparencies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qn30jEkPz7 Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 Longer pause than planned. I came home with the lurgy and spent a few days coughing up and sneezing a variety of combination between RAL 6032 signal green and RAL 7009 Green grey Feeling a bit perkier today so back to the models. Time for the prime, fill, sand repeat routine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qn30jEkPz7 Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 Decaling has continued apace I’ve just realised I forgot to paint the invasion stripes on the gear doors so will have to put off finishing the decals and do some awkward painting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
