1/48th Tamiya P-47D-25 Thunderbolt (Bubbletop)

[Pierpaolo]

Hi!

I haven't written here for a while, I haven't built anything in 2023 and I started this model in January of this year. What I show you is a P47D-25 Thunderbolt belonging to the 84th Fighter Squadron, 78th Fighter Group within the Eighth US Air Force based in Duxford, England.

 

This is the Tamiya Bubbletop in 1/48 scale, the box is the one that also includes a little tiny Jeep..

 

 

I used Eduard's Space set for the cockpit, Brassin wheels and Quickboost engine. Colors used: Alclad and AK Extreme metallics, Tamiya and Hobby Color

 

 

 

 

 

 

3D printed PSP
