Josep Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Hello fellows, Here my P47-D Thunderbolt, "2 big and Too Heavy", finished. A wonderful kit from Trumpeter; the only drawaback was that the engine was impossible to fit in the cowling, as I explained in the WIP thread. I hope you like the fotos, as much I enjoyed building and painting this wonderful "jug". Your comments will be welcome... And here, the link to my WIP: Thanks for looking! 31 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 That's very good. I bet that takes a lot of shelf space! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remus389 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 The details are amazing. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Thunderbolt experts, please enlighten me. The non-rounded wing tips leave me to believe this is a P-47N. Am I in error? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought those markings were on an N too (at least they were on the 48th one I built years ago) Whatever, that is a beautifully built and finished model Josep, top work!

Am I in error? That would be correct sir. A wet wing with improved roll as well. Almost as fast as the P-47M - and with LOADS of cool subjects, including this one.. Well done, great job Josep! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Very nice P-47! Love the name "2 Big & Too Heavy". Almost sounds appropriate for a P-47. 👍👍 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRMRL Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 That's a beauty, weirdly I've just finished the same kit, but not to the same standard, great work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Walter E Kurtz Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Hola Josep! I was looking forward to you finishing this one when you mentioned you were doing the same kit as me. Great job on the NMF weathering. I thought in it is an N model too with the extended tail fin fillet? It looks superb in any case. Bravo Sir! The engine is a pain to fit in the cowling I'll agree. It certainly felt droopy and fragile without the cowling in place on mine.i elected to glue the whole thing together eventually which seems to have worked ok for me. Nice that you elected to display the engine-supercharger details and the open guns service ports as well. Kind Regards Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
