Nikola Topalov Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Hi Mathy, WOW!!! Excellent work man! Well done! I love the finish. One comment if I may from my very limited experience - IMHO the marbling effect is maybe too uniform and strong, so the color modulation could be a bit more random and subtler. It might be the lighting in the photos though, so I might be completely wrong. Again, superb model! Best, Nikola 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polybebber Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Seriously, this is one of the best built, finished and photographed Tamiya P-47s I've ever seen. I raise my hat!!! Lothar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcap Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 One of the very best (and most realistic) finishes I have ever seen on a model aircraft. Brilliant! Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Most realistically weathered Jug I have seen in a long, long time! Lots of small but noticeable details like the dataplates on the gear struts, the ring and bead auxilliary gunsigh, the folded map on the instrument panel coaming, and the numbers above the guns. An incredible example of model building- I am soooo overwhelmed. If you'd like to add another little detail, you might consider putting the arming wires that ran from the nose and tail fuse to the wing pylons, as well as the fuel and vacuum plumbing from the external tank into the LH side of the fuselage at the rear of the shackle. See the link to a plumbing diagram for the 108, 150, and 215 gallon P-47 belly tanks.

markmcguire25 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Mathy, You're models are always superb! A couple questions; 1. How did you get the peeled silver finish on the wing roots? 2. Do you photograph your models outdoors to get the backgrounds? The black "tarmac" and background are fantastic, and on a few of your other builds the backgrounds look slightly different. Please share the secret to your magic. Thanks, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomkil Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Okay, it's the best I've seen this year. Kudos to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
