Enzo the Magnificent Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I have three books on the bird mine appears in only one and on only one pic if push comes to shove I will have to use some artistc licence. May I remind you of Rule 8 in the GB rules? Have fun! And lets face it, if you use a certain amount of artistic licence in your build because there is a scarcity of references, that same scarcity will mean that no one can say that you are wrong! I'd say go for it! Besides, I wanna see that sharkmouth on a model. It's going to look seriously good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Just as a way to help P-47 modellers I have an abundance of P-47 decals I probaly won't ever use and most from the Sky Models decals from Italy and in 1/72nd. If anyone on this GB is stuck for a 1/72 finish drop me a line and I'll see if I can help. All of my jugs will be 56th FG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfurm Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Are Academy decals really that bad? I bought this kit yesterday and noticed this GB only to find out that everyone says that decals are useless. Kit looks nice and I like both marking options though.

Mark M Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 i did the same the kit looks lovley but the decals look a bit cheap so i asked the question im half tempted to try them on a spare bit first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought this kit yesterday and noticed this GB only to find out that everyone says that decals are useless. Kit looks nice and I like both marking options though. Academy decals are not the best. They need careful handling. The adhesive is very weak and once dry the will lift at the drop of a hat. Any hat, anywhere! Once they are in place, it is best to secure them by flooding an acrylic varnish such as Klear under them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I'm not participating in this GB, but I'll be watching intently as I too went and scored an Academy bargain at Modelzone! This is one newbie looking forwards to what you guys have to show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousDFB1 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 I don't know of a 'F' version do you mean XP-47F which was a experimental aircraft LINKY or do you mean post WW2 when the P designation was dropped and substituted with F I believe for a while the P-47 was called and F-47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
