Tbolt Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Great job on the cockpit. As for the colour, I've yet to see any evidence of DDG in a Razorback cockpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Cool to see one of these aircraft being built, I was very tempted by the 1/72 version of this decal sheet as it offers some real opportunities to go a bit mental with the weathering on a wingy-thing.

This aircraft did become well weathered later in the war and had a Malcom canopy fitted and replacement ailerons. Note how when they over sprayed the invasion stripes they covered most of the yellow stripes on the wings. She does look good in Invasion strips though.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I'm already doing one, but it's all shiny & yellow (one wingy-thing per GB is plenty for me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a P47N .you can weather one of them but its harder doing it on N/M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I'll be happy if I can manage the silver & shiny, but it'll get some weathering for sure.....Never tried oils over a metallic finish before, as far as I recall anyway, should be interesting.
