Tolga ULGUR Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 This is 1/32 Hasegawa P-47D28 Thunderbolt with the markings of “Frigid Midgit“ 42-28677 from 394th FS 367th FG 9th AF based at St. Dizier France in March of 1945. Cockpit modified with Aires cockpit set, Yahu instrument panel and Eduard seatbelts. I have used Barracudacast main wheels and Quickboost gun barrels. Engine front section is from Quickboost with Trumpeter’s magnetos. Paints are Gunze Sangyo acrylics and Alclad metalizers. Decals have been produced by “CustomHobbyDecals” except for national insignias. Happy Modelling 32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeusa Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Boy, there are more than a few good looking Thunderbolts on the RFI section today. Representing the larger scale is this one that looks great. I have never seen this version done. Very well done. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Riveting is not too essential for me. For me, the important thing is to build as neatly as possible and paint beautifully but realistically. I see that riveting is indispensable for some modelers. It may be necessary in some projects, but I'm usually far from it. However, I have used riveting in some of the FW 190 projects I have done before. It's up to the person's choice. But it should not be forgotten that these details are not very visible considering the scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
