Wez Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almac Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 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.

TEMPESTMK5 Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 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 Patrice 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
