George72 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Hello! This is my first finished project this year, the very well known and praised Tamiya P-47 1/48 kit. Nothing to add, really, a superb kit. Only some small stencils did not behave well and…disintegrated. C’est la vie! Since these especific birds didn’t operate for too long, war ending in Europe was months away, I kept the weathering at a minimum, just some dirt from the airfields, but not too many scratches and chipping… Canopy masks from Eduard, guns from Model Masters and seat belts from scratch. Hope you enjoy! Cheers Edited January 4, 2021 by George72 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgr Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Great model. But, I think, that checkerboard with fist smashing german airplane on engine cover should be red and white - polish pilot is flying that plane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angell328 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Wow, Proving the adage of less is more there. Very subtle and restrained weathering on a super sharp paint finish. Love it! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw the decal off from the film, it looked less red than I thought... 1 hour ago, Angell328 said: Wow, Proving the adage of less is more there.
