trickyrich Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Hi Patrice, you have snuck this one in, I haven't looked at the main build thread for a while and have seen a few late entries. Nice start you've made, you should have this one done in no time. Glad to see you're back for a 4th one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice start you've made, you should have this one done in no time. Glad to see you're back for a 4th one!!! Good morning Rich Thank you anyway .. The Jug is one of my favourite aircraft and it wore so much varied and interesting camouflages in different theatre of operations furing WW2, in fact I am planning to build a french Razorback for the Mto Gb latter this year ..

jean Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Salut Patrice, I lapsed and did not spend too much time scouring the P-47 GB, and it was a mistake. There are some great builds. You are doing great yourself! And I cannot help notice that you have become an afficionado of the Yahuu IPs! When Mrs Hannant sends me my next order, there will be quite a few of them in the box!!! Superbe travail! Have fun JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEMPESTMK5 Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 looking good Patrice and you should be finished in plenty of time! Good morning Rich Thank you .. I will do my best to finish in time but I can only work on week ends and I must paint a 2nd coat of grey and green , I must also solve the propeller question I am going to use the Revell P47 M one but someone on a french modeller site pointed ou that this prop is not correct in shape ..I really need to find good pics of real P47M propeller in order to work on the Revell one ..

TEMPESTMK5 Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Good evening Today I placed the propeller , the undercarriage the belly tank and done a light weathering So I think I can call this one finished Patrice Edited April 6, 2016 by TEMPESTMK5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Very nicely done Patrice, another fine model to add to your collection and the gallery. It's a pity the build has to come to and end as I'm sure you would have liked to have done a few more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pity the build has to come to and end as I'm sure you would have liked to have done a few more! Good morning Rich Thank you for your comment but it is not my best build : there is a problem of ''silvering'' with the decals .. Before placing it in the gallery I will try to remove the wing pylons as fellow modeller on a french site wrote me that the P47 M were not equipped with wing tanks .. You read my mind I really would have liked to build a few more and in fact I think that I will try to build at least one more (D SCHILLING'S D ) latter this year .. I really enjoyed participating in this Gb full of amazing builds .. Great to see it done Patrice Good morning PBS Thank you ..

trickyrich Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Another well done Patrice, she may have not been exactly what you had wanted but still a nice model. And sadly that's it for you for this GB, but I'm sure you'll be first on the list for the next one. Again it was great to have you in this build and you turned out some great and interesting models, well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is really too bad that the Gb ends so soon but you can be sure that I will build at least another one before the end of this year .. It was a great Gb and I am ready for a Thunderbolt Gb next year .. Patrice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
