Heart Failure Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 This is my old Revell 1/72 P-47. The build is almost OOB with minor improvement with the guns (scratchbuilt). Trying the red background for fun. 28 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Schilhart Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 That's a great little Jug, and a very attractive marking option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith in the uk Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Looks good Not too sure about the Red background though 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Very nice model. Turned out better than mine. Lose the red background though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve27752 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Very nice, but again not red. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig88 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 The kit looks great indeed. Love the weathering on the wings behind the guns. Well done! I'm sorry but I think the red background is too much 🥴! Miguel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busnproplinerfan Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I have a couple of these to make. This one looks really good. The red backround reminds me of old Fine scale magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracking model though. Edited October 26, 2020 by JosephLalor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Beautiful built model but the red markings on it get lost in the background red in some of the photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heart Failure Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 Thanks gents! Point well taken on the background. I was just testing out other background as I was curious how it looks but I guess it proves that red is a no go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dyck Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Yes I agree it is a superb model, but the red backdrop may cause eye cancer. 👁️ hope you don’t mind, nevertheless it was a good idea to try out different colors for backdrops. But in this case the contrast of the red paint got lost. best regards Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heart Failure Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 Even my own eye is hurting Andy, but we would have not found out if I haven't tried. Lesson learned for all of us.....avoid red back draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 The red background is a little "loud" for my tastes, but the P-47 is definitely a winner! Your metal finish looks spot-on to me. It's a great kit, the Revell P-47, don't you think? 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 That red background is louder than a Victory Day parade in Moscow. But the model looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Excellent model of a great kit, but like the others have said, the red background is rather overwhelming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luftmodels Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Nice model but very poor background choice. Strained my eyes and gave red cast on the silver paint of the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
