mark.au Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Hello all; Here's my finished Jug for your perusal. I made about as many mistakes and miscalculations as it's possible to make in painting and marking this one. The full story and many more pictures of the debacle(!) can be found within the build article on my website. It's build as a workhorse of the 365th Fighter Bomber Group and was intended to be weathered as such. Overall I think it turned out ok as a reasonable representation of my subject and my ability. Some of it I'm really happy with and some of it I just decided I would have live with because I couldn't face the third, fourth, fifth [seventh!] touch-up or re-paint. Among a lot of things, the eagle-eye among you will spot the missing pitot tube - it has been installed, just not before I took the pics! Anyway, I did start (but failed to keep up with) a WIP thread, so here's the result. 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nachtwulf Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I've always liked the look of a P-47 on the ground with the flat drop tank. You did a great job! Dale 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitchen Modeller Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Lol - snap...:) Great job on your P47 !!! Love the invasion stripes, very nicely weathered. Did you use salt weathering? It came out great - well done:) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the other techniques were to fix the screw up with the bad salt weathering! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Very respectable Jug, and that's putting it mildly! The restrained weathering and, not least, the truly lethal-looking gun barrels make for a really convincing replica. Top marks!

Buzby061 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Definitely more than an OK reasonable representation. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
