D-Day P-47

[moon puppy]

OK, it's been sitting by the bench for a couple of months. Haven't even looked at the instructions yet. Trumpeter's P-47 Razorback. I know I got some decals for it, the gun barrels but that's about it.

could have sworn I had a picture of it but i'll get a dated one this afternoon.




INVASION!!!

Razorback.

You know what, I may give that dog another try...

 

[Iron Mike]

Could I interest you in a gently used Pips Priller model?

Make you a heck of a deal on it. :laugh:

 

[moon puppy]

And here we go.

Not sure i'll use these decals as I don't know if either of these birds were flying in our time frame. When did I get the landing gear???

 

[Iron Mike]

Get it on! B)

 

[jknaus]

Brass would be better although the kit gear is good. SAC gear kind of suck in my opinion, but thats just me.

I know James, already seen how the tail gear is bent and I haven't even taken it out of the package. You seen any other aftermarket gear?

 

[jknaus]

G Factor is best, but I dont know if they have a P-47 landing gear set.
James

 

[Sharkmouth]

Does the main landing gear really need replacing?

In any case, I only saw propeller hubs and spinners for the Thunderbolt.

Regards,

 

[moon puppy]

You right about the G Factor but I don't find any P-47

 

[moon puppy]

I'm cuttin' and paintin'

I did not get any cockpit set for this build. Kinda wish I did but i'm making do with what I got. For whatever reason, Trumpeter gives us a totaly clear IP that you're suppose to sandwich a film of IP dials and the back of the IP. I guess you're suppose to paint around all the dial faces but I found that Vallejo was beading up on the clear surface so I primed the entire thing and painted. Putting decals on top of the dial faces and will future over them. Don't look too close at those plycards, you may find they are really for the P51, don't tell anyone.

Nice work on the cockpit Bob. Looking good
