Mick Drover Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Hi all,I started on the 1/48th P-47D Thunderbolt just over a week ago and I've managed to get a fair way with it. There's enough superfluities around for this kit as it has been around for almost twenty years. It's going to be built as 'The Reamer' as flown by Captain Jack H. Reams of the 347th FS, 350th FG.This is what I've managed to get done. Additions so far are the Eduard Super fabric seatbelt and the Quickboost engine. Main paints are painted in Mr Color zinc chromate for the cockpit and yellow chromate for the wheel bays. Once the seams are sorted and the fin is installed it'll be onto priming, hopefully today.

Calum Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) C'mon Mitch where's the update on this. You're doing a Brian with the lack of progress Edited April 28, 2017 by Calum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbolt Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Looking good. Nice choice of paint scheme, though I think you mean 347th FS, I don't think the 348th ever flew P-47's being a night fighter squadron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're doing a Brian with the lack of progress Thanks Corey. It has progressed since here, I just haven't taken photos of it. There's a few other builds on the go too!!! It's a long weekend up here so I'll get some photos up for you okay It's not a glider that I'm working on either. Mitch. 12 hours ago, Tbolt said: Looking good.

I think I had a search and destroy moment on the keyboard. It should be the 347th FS, I'll correct it.
