Good luck with this one Patrice, I started one for the very first P-47 STGB back in the day, it's still on the shelf of doom though that's more down to me!  It looks like they've made some changes to the kit since the first issue (PE for a start).

 

Looking forward to how this one comes out.

I will also keep an eye on this one Patrice. I’ve got this in the stash and I’m curious how it goes together as I’ve read it is a challenging build. I’m sure you will build this at your usual quick pace and to a nice result.

 

Cheers Allan

Good morning Friends

I will do my best as I know that the Sword kits have a reputation for being difficult to build ...

 

Best Regards

Then I placed this assembly in the right half fuselage

Good evening all

 Today I prepared the engine and managed to place it on the fuselage

Good evening

 To day I realized that I was not able to paint the black stripes correctly so I decided to change my subject and instead I decided to represent Oscar Perdomo aircraft

This change of subject therefore forced me to repaint the yellow strip around the engine cover and the green strip behind the cockpit in aluminum  and to paint a yellow strip around the wings at the level of the guns , so this is the result of my work
