Oddball Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 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. 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Brilliant! I'm a huge fan of Revell's 1/72 "Jug" kits and you have done a mighty job. Beautifully photographed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmouredSprue Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 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? regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanC Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Excellent model. I have one in my 'half-built' hangar and you've inspired me to finish it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

They do build up rather nicely, well worth the money and time if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
