MicroGaz Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 A recently finished build, this Tamiya P47D was built for a good friend. Finished in the colours of the Brazilian Air Force, it represents a machine flown by Ten. Cel. Nero Moura in 1944. Build was OOB and straightforward..well it IS a Tamiya kit The only aftermarket used was an Eduard instrument panel. Finished with Tamiya Laquers and lightly weathered, per my friends wishes. Decals are from the excellent FCM Decals and they went down without any problems. I must admit to having no knowledge of these machines being used by the BAF, but a bit of research brought up some interesting reading. Thanks for looking Gary 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 That's really nice. It's interesting to see a jug in non-USAAF colours. By the way have you noticed the (Tamiya?) decals about to fall off the prop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmouredSprue Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Nice built. This aircraft represents the one flown the Col Nero Moura, the Squadron Leader. The 1st Brazilian Squadron was attached/part of the US 350th in Italy. Besides the P-47 squadron Brazilians also sent 1 army division and also a Reconnaissance Squadron (attached to the army) flying Piper P-4's for artillery orientation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convair Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Even without the wing pylons, it is a very nice model. Interesting position of the ventral tank. Edited October 20, 2021 by Convair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
