Hal Marshman Sr Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) A word of advice, if I may. The fuselage area under the canopy is Olive Drab, same as the anti-glare panels. Inside the gear wells, inside of gear doors, etc are Yellow Zinc Chromate, not Interior Green. (If you're already privy to this info, you've got a leg up on a great many folks who do a wonderful job on their Thunderbolts, but slip up on these items. I see one or two a week, real shame when the rest of the model is in the superb range. Hal Sr Edited January 13, 2014 by Hal Marshman Sr Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hal Sr Thanks for that info Hal, I have tried to find some reference to what you say in order to determine how far down the OD should go, do you have any reference for me please? Thanks and cheers Geoff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Cheetah Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 This should be a great build to watch. I have this kit in the stash and will get done some day in a bmf scheme.

I must make a note of that, got the same kit in my stash that will have a similar paint scheme. Thanks Hal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

B-17 guy Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 What is this riveting...thing? Never seen this before.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jugjunkie Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 What is this riveting...thing? Never seen this before.... It's a new thing from ANOTHER Czech company - will be my first time. It applies almost like a decal but it has an additional carrier that gets peeled off after about 2 hours drying time and leaves the raised rivet detail. Iv heard good things about it so i'll give it a twirl. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 That looks like it'll be a great build. I'll certainly be watching to learn about those rivets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jugjunkie Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Finally got the finger out and got some done over the last few days... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Looks good. This kit is on my "to build list", so I'm certainly interested in watching it come together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I have a P-47M so I'll be watching also! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jugjunkie Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Sorry guys but I got seriously way laid on this one. Also apologies for the lost images, but I did a simple name change on PB and then realised the full impact of that!!!!! Anyway I completed this last week so i'm putting it here as well just to show I did finish it.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I'm glad you added it here. It looks great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
