Jug and a Beaver P-47 Razorback in Burma


Beazer

Recommended Posts

I’ve been wanting to build this for awhile and finally got an opportunity.  Yes it’s an American Jug, but the pilot was Canadian, and what Jugs can be without Beavers honestly.

DDG cockpit with what will have a couple Green Zinc Chromate spots and the rest is YZC aside from the landing gear which is done in Green Zinc Chromate.

Some detail work on, the cockpits going to get some more and I’m unsure as to the prop used.  I’ve seen the older style on Burma P-47 but the decal sheet shows a Hamilton Spinner.  
I also can’t for the life of me find the pilots name or real life photos of the aircraft.  I saw them awhile ago which made me get this set or markings

Ive got the squadron, 258th RAF iirc.

Maybe not your aircraft but this is 258 Sq. RAF. Id definitely say Ham Stan on the prop.

Back at it after a hiatus.  Fostering kittens is always time consuming.

Was able to do up some sub assemblies including the cockpit and eng.  

Also trying my hand at checkers.  Not perfect but damn is that hell.

Everything looks great including the checkers, something Ive wanted to try but not confident enough yet.

That is a cracking result.  Well done..
