Sky Keg Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 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 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 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. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanC Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got lucky on how it turned out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
