A Trio of P47;s


Recommended Posts

Hi all,started the decaling thankfully all bar the codes and Indian head are Revell,s(when did you ever think you'd say that) as suspected the Academy

ones are awful I know a couple of these are being built here so be very careful with the decals they are brittle and less flexible than an iron bar!

Anyway as I said Revell decals going on beautifully the fuselage star and bar is a three piece affair and in the second photo you can see the drastic

cutting to get the decal on,no major problem as I will hand paint the white area as it should be.Thank's for popping in.

Oop's sorry folk's forgot to mention I did gloss the airframe for decalling and if anyone does this scheme cut the head in two

where the cowl ends it need,s to be done.

That does look excellent Steve! Most impressive - the decals seem to be co-operating rather well! :thumbsup:

Steve,

Next time I shall send my models to you for NMF, my attempt went sadly wrong! You have the quality of finish I was expecting to achieve. I shall live with it as, at one point, I came close to binning the model and ordering a replacement. However, it isn't a critical model for me so I shall put it down to experience.

I followed the Alclad videos but I guess I need to pay more attention.

There are some superb builds out there with Alclad which does give a much more realistic finish keep at it I,m sure it will come together.

Nicely finished Steve, before i could even cut one piece of the sprues, you finished 3 of the bolts... and very nicely, great job Steve :) cheers

Thank's Wolwe now I can sit back and watch everyone else having fun!

well Steve they are a trio of fine looking models you've done, I especially like the NMF one!

It was a real pleasure to have you along one this GB and don't forget there is still plenty of time to build a few more!
