Aztec Warrior...1/48 Republic P-47D Thunderbolt, Fuerza Aerea Mexicana


Recommended Posts

Besides the Uruquay Hellcat, my dad continues the Latinamerican theme with a Mexican T-bolt, using the excellent Tamiya kit and decals from Aztec.

cowl turned out ok, but my dad should have kept the masking on, he still has to do the anti-glare panel

my dad realized, that the nose trim on the underside was slightly out of center, so he does some correction work

Looking good, bit of a bummer for the moldlines though, especially on a NMF surface...

Sometimes my dad's old eyes oversee things...he did some sanding again and now it looks better. Also Tamiya molding isn't always the best..
