P47M Thunderbolt


Recommended Posts

This is Revell's 1/72 P47M, built completely OOB, painted with a mix of Tamiya for the uppers and Alclad for the aluminium underside, small details picked out with Revell enamels. Weathered with thinned Tamiya washes and Tamiya weathering sets. The decals are Revell's own and they were a bit of a pain, a little too thick to sit well but after lashings of micro set/sol, they finally behaved themselves.

the model looks really good, however the P-47M is suppose to have the dorsal fin added to it (it comes with the Revell kit), did you decided not to use it?

Well that's what I thought, but the instructions call for adding the fin only for the 63rd fighter squadron option. It seems that this particular aircraft wasn't fitted with the fin (and I've seen pictures of another 62nd aircraft without it as well, plus one from the 63rd), I'm assuming that Revell have done their research properly, as the other two I've seen without the fin are fairly close in serial numbers.

Very nice. I have two Revell P-47D-30s In the queue. I'm getting itchy fingers after seeing your build!

Excellent model. I have one in my 'half-built' hangar and you've inspired me to finish it.

 

They do build up rather nicely, well worth the money and time if you ask me.
