Republic P-47D Thunderbolt "Bubbletop"


Recommended Posts

I have this model of Tamiya since 2012. With changes in the area of my bench I lost at least two pieces. The propeller hub and the pitot tube.

I decided to start building the model and go try to find the missing pieces.

The model.

The chosen scheme will be of an airplane "A4" the 1º scheme of the sheet of the FAB (Brazilian Air Force) using a sheet of decals of the FCM.

I started by gluing vertical drift to the fuselage.

It is. I was also one of the www.photobucket.com/500 :2guns:. I just do not understand why some images continue to appear.

But I've solved the problem. I created an account in Postimage. It was easy to create albums, it was easy to copy the images. Just transferring the images to the forum gives a little more work than Photobucket. But I saved at least € 60.00.

The problem will now be to replace all the images.

And I finished painting the P-47 and applied lights and shadows.

beautiful paint work - really like how you managed to make a single colour camo interesting.

I'm glad you liked the painting

Bombs and launches rockets (I guess that's what it's called).

Wow nice weathering on the bombs. Great work.

 

I have to ask though, is there any way to repost the other pictures? I missed this build from the start.Stupid Photobucket.

I have already begun to replace the images.

And the decals are here.

It is a very complete set and even brings decals to the wheels and landing gear. I also pinned Alclad inside the doors of the landing gear.
