neil5208 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) Latest one done, Revells Thunderbolt, At last an American aircraft in American colours in my collection. Done in 56th Sqn colours based at Boxted in Essex. I've been a bit snobbish about doing a Revells kit since coming back to modelling but I picked this up for the princely sum of £7 and started it due to my Airfix Me262 not going so well and have been impressed with fit and detail. Made up OOB using Tamiya and Valleo acylics. The box art shows bombs and a centre line tank but these are not included, instead 10 HVR rockets and P38 drop tanks are supplied. Weathering done with oils and a silver pencil.

RJ-WobblyHands Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 very nice indeed, 56th FG Wolfpack Jugs had great funky camo patterns, in late ww2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmouredSprue Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 It looks really good. Just a little advice for your next Jugs, it doesn't usually have the machine guns stains since their machines guns had a muzzle sleeve. But apart from it it looks really nice.

kapam Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Very nice indeed! I love this kit - a nice middle-ground which combines modern tooling with a reasonable price. Your build is on the money for sure. 😎👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all the comments, I wasn't planning on buy any kits when I picked it up, just went in for some paint but I saw this and a Revell RAF Boston mk2 and got both for less than £20. The moulding on the Boston is very nice and turns out to be a rebox of MPM's plastic so goes to show you dont have to spend alot to get a good model.

glatisant Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Great build. Great colour scheme. The Revell P47's are excellent kits and well worth building as yours shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
