Zigomar Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 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.

Paramedic Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 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). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28ZComeback Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Jean, this is an impressive build, beautiful finish and the rivets add a lot of realism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogtail2 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Fabulous looking Thunderbolt and outstanding photography. A Razorback going on my shopping list. 1/48 scale correct ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I saw the first picture and thought it was a real aircraft for comparison. That is outstanding! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 A thoroughly impressive Thud! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 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.

kapam Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Absolutely stunning! At first I thought they were pics of a real warbird! I tried to check the scale but couldn't find it mentioned. 1:48 perhaps? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPMS19 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 - Execellent.... should I say as usual ? - In black and white or sepia, the first photo could be easily mistaken for a photo of those days...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Walter E Kurtz Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) 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!
