loloskymaster Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Hello, Here is my last model, an Imperial Iranian Air Force P-47D from Tamiya at 1/48 scale. I used Vallejo Metal Color for the aluminium finish. For the roundels, I used Montex masks and Persan numbers are home made masks. Weathering is done with oil paints and powders for the wings. It was interesting to build such an exotic livery. I hope you like my Thunderbolt and thank you to Reini78 who built the same, two years ago.

noelh Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Very nicely done. Nice subtle weathering too. Looks realistic which is always my measure of a good model. Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Excellent, nice work on the NMF & weathering. Can't recall seeing a P-47 in that scheme before. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorfinn Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Striking build of a scheme I, too, had never seen before. The close-up with the dropped flap highlights the exquisite workmanship. A real delight! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josip Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Now that is just gorgeous! The only thing it lacks are the subtle lines of rivets, like with Eduard kits nowadays. That is one big disadvantage of Tamiya wunderkits from the 90s and even newest ones like Spitfire. Iranian F-84Gs were also splendid looking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thank you to for these nice words 😊 Lolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildeSau75 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 what a convincing T-Bolt - the NMF looks top notch. And nice to see one in a different livery. Cheers, Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
