1/48 Thunderbolts


Recommended Posts

Hello everybody,

This is my first topic in ARC forums since 2005.

I wanted to share my finished three models.

Although I am 1/72 scale modern era jet builders, I always wanted to build beautiful WWII era warbirds. So I decided to build three different model for a gift to my good fellows.

All these kits completed out of the box just addition of cockpit zoom set from Eduard and used aftermarket Lifelike decal set. Allclad2 duraluminium were used to paint for overall body. Dark, matt, semi matt aluminium, magnesium, burnt metal finishes were used for different shades and panels.

This my first model P-47D Razorback. P-47D-15 RE

And this is my last aircraft, the famous “Tarheel Hal” which is P-47D-30-RA version

The aftermarket decal was used but it was produced for Hasegawa kits. So I tried to adapt it to Tamiya kit not easy :huh:

Thanks for all your good replies guys...

In fact there are some little or minor faults on finished kits. In an every finished model, I have achived my hand abilities. This is my second tries to paint with Allclad. I hope I can never do that faults again and be patient :rolleyes:/>.

While working with Allclad, I have to be more careful because some invisible scratches and defects can not be seen before. After painting finishes, this areas show up this defects completely just like on upper side of the wing ...
