George_ Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Hi, Finally got enough courage to post here Build this about a year ago. It is OOB, only bombs/rockets were added. During this model I bought my airbrush, so it is mostly brushpainted, only the aluminium and black/yellow tail were touched up with the airbrush. I know there are some mistakes and the alu color doesn´t look the part but still, its one of my favorites Enjoy, George 34 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Your P-47N looks very good. You can be proud of it. I would be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Joyce Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Great looking P-47, George. Really nice job of brush painting; I would have believed it if you told me that everything was painted with an airbrush! Thanks for posting the photos. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREG DESTEC Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Cracking Jug! Love the finish and markings. Very nice 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binbrook87 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) Brush painted? Wow. That is some serious skill with the silver my friend. 👏 Fantastic result. Look forward to seeing some more of your builds in the future. Having not long had my airbrush i can tell you that a natural metal finish will be a lot lot easier from now on! 😁 Edited September 21, 2020 by binbrook87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Looks great! If I may ask, what's your assessment of the Sword kit? I might want to get one - can never build too many P-47's. So many colorful schemes! Excellent work. 👍👍👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George_ Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Thank you very much @ kapam It is fully riveted and fit isn´t bad for a shortrun. you get PE set and resin cockpit, engine, wheel wells and barrels in the box And it was 2in1 boxing so definitely worth the money in my opinion But there were two issues: bottom side of both ailerons had depression that needed to be filled (bad moulding i guess) and one side of engine cowling was a bit smaller then the other so putty was needed there. I think the kit was overall pretty good, but some effort is needed to get nice result Hope this helps George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
