PhilChris Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Good evening all, Last in the series, a 1/48 scale P-47-D-30 of the 394th Fighter Squadron, 367thFighter Group. Pilot was Major C.F.MATHESON, C/O of the squadron. The plane is shown as it was just after the war and the location probably Eschborn Airfield in Germany. Have all a wonderful day, Christophe 36 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestFan Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) That’s a lovely rendition of the original. Very well done 👍 How the heck did you do the stripes on the prop boss?! Edited June 3, 2022 by ForestFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Excellent work. The propeller spiral is a very nice touch to this already colorful aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Delta 210 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Absolutely stunning Jug! Much as I love the 56th FG, it is great to see your bird in a different suit of clothes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Walter E Kurtz Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Lovely Jug... I have to also agree it's nice to see a non 56th FG bird depicted. Great work, love the restrained weathering as well Regards, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Stickler Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I'm not normally a lover of the P47 ( like the bumble bee, it looks like it shouldn't be able to fly) but this one is superb! Thanks for sharing Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
