George72 1,083 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (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 by George72 29 Link to post Share on other sites

sgr 192 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 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 post Share on other sites
Angell328 612 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 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 post Share on other sites
