P-47D Thunderbolt


Recommended Posts

Greetings to all,

 

Here is the Academy P-47D Razorback Thunderbolt I built a number of years ago.  I used the True Details resin cockpit and Aeromaster “Pacific Thunderbolts” ( Sheet #72-008 ) to dress the Jug. I remember that I used Model Master Metalizer Aluminum spray can paint on it.  I have since “graduated” to AK Interactive Extreme and Alclad paints for my natural metal finishes.  I primed the airframe first and then applied the colors first.  After masking the colors to the required sizes, I simply sprayed the Model Master over everything.  I also used metal tubes ( I`m guessing 0.6mm size ) for the wing guns.  The decals went on without any issues.  I weathered the subject with washes, paints, and chalk pastels.  Highly recommended!!!!!

 

THANK YOU in advance!!!!!

 

Remain healthy, happy, and safe my friends!!!!!!

Mike

I like that, the Academy P-47s come up well as you've shown very nicely, that is a good looking scheme & the PSP base goes well with it too.

Thanks for the kind words Steve!!!!  This was one of those type of kits where nearly everything went together well.

Your finished and weathering are spot on. Well done 👍

Thanks Greg!!! What I like about this T-Bolt was it is a seldom seen Pacific Theater type.

Very good. The NMF looks just right to me.

 

Is that a pre-formed PSP base or did you make it? It's very effective.

Thank you Ian!!!! The PSP base is a resin model from Hawkeye Designs.  I got lucky on how it turned out.
