Eric B. Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Hi, Here is my latest P-47D Thunderbolt, built nearly OOB bar a few cockpit details and aftermarket decals. They are Kitsworld decals. I have a good deal of their 1/72nd scale decals but this was the first time I had the opportunity to use them on one of my models. Conclusion? Absolutely fantastic, sharp, well designed, well printed, adhere tighly on curved surfaces, thin but dense in colours. Probably the best decals I ever used. A few details here : Then photographs of completed model. Conclusion : that was a nice littlle easy project : yes these Tamiya Thunderbolts are that good. Photo below : my other Tamiya P-47D (a Razorback) I'll come later with daylight "in situation" pictures. Cheers Eric B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rodney Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Very nice. I like the extra touches, such as break lines and engine wiring. Rodney Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eric B. Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hi, Thank you all Very nice. Thanks for the info on the KW decals too. Ruud, I confirm KW decals, besides the sharpness or their pin ups design, really are top decals. That's a line that I will definately follow. Cheers Eric B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Outstanding Jug. I like those markings. Very rarely do I see the Jug models in that squadron! Great work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SERNAK Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Outstanding job!!! I truly envy you - I have the Revell kit and I'm "trying" to finish it for the past 8 months BUT, every time I think i have finish with its painting job, I find a new scratch!!! Which means that I have to "clean" individual panels, re-prime them, and re-paint them!!!! Anyway, you have build a fantastic P-47. Keep up the good work!
