Kitchen Modeller Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Hello all - this is my just finished Tamiya P-47 Razorback in 1/72 - Sleepy Time Gal. It was a very nice kit and was a very enjoyable to build. Fit was great and it's just very well engineered. If you're looking to do a razorback in the scale, look no further. Maybe a bit more pricey than others out there but well worth it IMHO. As always, I had trouble dealing to Tamiya's kit decals but I got there in the end. Aftermarket details were: Eduard seat belts, Aber turned brass gun barrels (although technically they are gun barrel covers) and a Yuhu Photo etched instrument panel. Painted with Tamiya Acrylics, weathered with oils and Mig pigments. I did a wip which if you're interested, you can check out here: I've already got the bubble top version so looking forward to getting on with that - no doubt it will be just a nice as this one. Thanks for looking 56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Top job! Love to see P-47's in my preferred scale. The shading and panel lines are superb. The aftermarket harness looks awesome - might have to try one of these myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 A lovely job on that John, I seem to have missed the WiP, maybe the title was too obtuse for me but I've just had a whiz through it, some top modelling in there. & a result to be well proud of.

Cheers, Bill Thanks Bill - I do love those pin up girls. Hard to understand why a p47 wouldn’t have one 😂. I guess it really tells a story about the plane.. and it’s pilots... makes it even more interesting. I’ve got the bubble top version in the queue and it’s going to get one too...

ArmouredSprue Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 fantastic Jug mate. very well done. You gotta love these 1/72 Tamiya kits. They are really nice and a pleasure to build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus999 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 This looks terrific -- great job! The WIP was fun to follow too. It turned out great even with the decal difficulties. I can't wait to do mine -- I found after market "Little Chief" decals, so thanks for the heads up on that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks opus - you should do a Wip when you get to your p47 - I enjoyed your mig build. If you get into trouble with your big chief decals never fear, I have 2 spare sets😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christer A Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 A very nice finish to this one! The weathering and shading looks very smart too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugle07 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Cracking job there, and a really good WIP as well. Thoroughly enjoyed watching her come together (fnar fnar). Still resisting getting one. I did accidentally get a Barracuda when I was in Dorking models tho. Just to practice my painting on... Great stuff! Geoff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
