Jon Bryon Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Hi all, These have just rolled off the workbench (figuratively speaking!): Tamiya's P-47M Thunderbolt, done as a post-WWII F-47D in custom markings, and Academy's F-47N in Hawaii ANG markings from Aeromaster. More details and photos can be accessed from www.thebryons.com/model_index.html Feedback welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham T Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Nice work on both! The Tamiya kit is of course pretty special but I found the Academy N also to be quite a nice little model when I built it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Bryon Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 Jon,Superb work on them Jugs matey. Did you alclad them? What did you use to pick out the rivets? Oils? Cheers for sharing. Bob Thanks once again guys. No Alclad in China. Used Gunze Mr Color Silver (8) with a little Aluminium (218) on some panels. Post shaded with highly thinned Gunze Smoke. Glossed with good old Klear (specially sent from the UK). The wash is super-cheap oil paint thinned with Zippo lighter fluid. I'd use nothing else :-) Cheers Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeew Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Super neat work Jon. Can I ask...what did you do for the yellow tail with black scalloped edge? mask and paint or decals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels49 Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Very nice NMF, good job on the schemes not seen in the normal offerings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Bryon Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 Thanks again guys! Super neat work Jon. Can I ask...what did you do for the yellow tail with black scalloped edge? mask and paint or decals? Yep. Yellow tail is just Gunze Mr Color Yellow (329). The black scallops came as decals from Aeromaster. Easy-peasy! Actually, the decals were okay, but if I were to do it again I'd try using them as a template for a mask. That way I'd get rid of the carrier film which is necessary so they don't just fall apart when applied. Cheers Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
