A restauration : P-47 Thunderbolt


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Also a recent completion, the Academy 1/48 P-47 Thunderbolt. Began its life as 56th FG USAAF, but paint was stripped and it became a plane of the french air force in the 1945 markings ...

Metal is done with AK extreme metal colors, a nice range, although one need a gloss balck undercoat and even thoroughfully cured, the finish is quite fragile. 

 

Hope you'll like her as well ...

Hello guys, 

 

Thanks for the kind words, glad you like her. 

Spruecutter, the decals were a limited run with the Tamiya P-47D kit in France, from Carpena Colorado. I guess you can get some sets from the French importer, a company by the name of T2M , and Berna decals may have some references, too.

 

Best, 

Stef (#6)
