P-47D + M Pengie II & V B.M.Gladych - Tamiya 1/72

[hadzi]

I present my last two kits from Gladych´s P-47 called Pengie II and Pengie V.
Pilot's bio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolesław_Gładych some mistakes, but ok so far.
Kits from Tamiya, extras: dash board from Yahu, seat belts Eduard, Pitot tube from Master, for M I used propellor from Quickboost. Decals are mix from AJ-Press/Hussar and Aero Master and Techmod.
"Pengie II"



"Pengie V"



All P-47D/M from Gladych. In future I will make a Spitfire F MK.IXc "Pengie", Gladychs first plane with this nick name.

Jerzy, 

Really impressive collection.  

So is that the famous 56 FG plum?  How did you do that?  It looks subtle, but with a nice color to it.  Also, was there a particular reason you went with the Tamiya D to get the P-47M, rather than the Revell P-47M?  I've got a few of both to work on. 

Best wishes, 

Bob C

Thank you Bob. Yes, it is my interpretation of 56th "plum". How I did it? I painted my kit black surfacer from Gunze first. I thought about using one of the three colors: Gunze H55 Midnight Blue or Humbrol RAF Roundel Blue, but I opted for H326 Thunderbird Blue from Gunze, why I did it? The H55 was not bleu enough for me and the Humbrol was oil paint.

Why Tamiy and not Revell? Tamiya is in my opinion better in shape than Revell, additionally planning P-47D Razorback Pengie II and III, we do not have an equivalent from Revell. If I put the P-47D Tamiya or Academy next to the Revell P-47M, we would have too much contrast between them. I did also P-47M from Revell, see here: P-47M Revell/Hobby 2000 1/72 - Ready for Inspection - Aircraft - Britmodeller.com

I hope Gladych, in the end he married she 😉
