All finished, the only problem I incountered was there is no room in the nose to add any weight. I used Lifecolor paints, Bombshell decals and added the propblur.

P-47D Thunderbolt (WW) 42-76165, 84th FS, 78thFG, Duxford, 1944.

Used by the group as a communications 'hack'. Hasegawa kit, Life Like decals. The only extras added were the straps for the seat and the hand hold bar to the main canopy. An attempt was made to reflect the worn finish of a well used but still airworthy aircraft. I went along with the idea that the outboard pairs of guns were removed with only the inboard ones remaining. Perhaps for gunnery practice proficiency training maybe(?).

This is a representative view of the only image I could find of the actual aircraft.

I enjoyed building the model as it was a very easy kit to put together for such a nice quality. The only issues I had was with the Life Like decals. Application problems I had are covered in the build thread but I don't think they are very accurate. The pale 'blue' of the WW and 27 part of the serial is correct for the starboard side but on the port I would have thought these digits would remain black except maybe the last two or three digits that extend onto the rudder which may have been the 'blue'! Also, the arrangement of the prefix part of the serial would not go aft of the main body of it as the decal set proposes though no port side view or text says so. Lack of any photos of this side doesn't help. The colouring of the star and bars is unusual but my thought on this is they are faded but the decals provide the udnder wing one as faded too which I don't think would be the case. At least not that faded!

The rear view miror on the windscreen I painted red as a personal touch. I can't really make out on the image of the original whether it was or not. Anyway enjoy!
