Hi folks! Another one from the past,the P-47 Razorback of David Schilling when with the 62 nd FS. The excellent Tamiya kit with some goodies, Bronze green cockpit color, Aeromaster decals. One of my first attempt at riveting.

Great build. :) Nice shades and weathering and i cannot recall having seen this subject for long. Always nice with "fresh" ones. :) 

 

David C.Schilling was a very interesting character indeed.. I have a couple of his aircraft, the decals anyways, in the stash too.. (D and M).

Fabulous looking Thunderbolt and outstanding photography.   A Razorback going on my shopping list.  1/48 scale correct ?

What the others have said goes double for me- the best razorback Jug I have seen in a long time! Those could pass for period photos- your model is that good! Tamiya literally broke the mold when they did their 1/72 and 1/48 P-47's- a shame they didn't go ahead with an N in both scales and an M in 1-72.

Another Jean masterpiece! Bravissimo !

Grazie Giampiero but Tamiya's Jug is certainly one of their best model! Saluti!

Wow! Love it! Beautiful weathering and top draw photos. I've taken note of what you did here for my next RFI posting! Thanks for showing this.. Jugs are one of my favourite WW2 aircraft. I must confess I slightly prefer the Bubble Top variety but this is still outstanding! Regards, Andy
