Good morning

Today I start the Tamiya P 47 D Razorback that I will represent in the markings of  Hun Hunter XIV flown by Lt Col WYMOND of the 65 Fighter Squadron 57 Fighter Group based at Alto during the summer of 1944 ..

Nice choice Patrice. 

 

If if you’re interested there’s a great colour film on the web made by the US Government in 1944 about these p47’s based in Corsica. I stumbled across it a while back. There are a couple good shots of the aircraft that you’re modelling. Link below. It’s about 40 minutes and we’ll worth a look.

Good find Franky boy, a nice variety of P-47s with various underwing stores. The runway could have been a tad longer for them.

Good evening

 Today I placed the seat , the instrument panel and cockpit side wals together  to form the bathtube

Then I glued the "bathtube" on the right half fuselage and closed the 2 fuselage halves

I also prepared the wings
