monogram P-47D

[Styrene Scientist]

just finished up this kit,
newer release of the old monogram kit. I made it out of box, only adding homemade machine guns and antenna wire.

thanks for looking!

Love a Jug!

I can think of several campaigns you could have earned a battle ribbon with this build. Why not join in one?

thanks guys.
I never really looked at that stuff!, I never got into the group builds and such, only because I sometimes jump from model to model and never finish anything, I don't like to have a deadline, even if it is lengthy :pp

I'm the same way about deadlines, that's why we generally put a year on them.

Really nice job on the Jug.

I would like to add a couple comments to your build ( Don't take this personally ). Just a matter of realism .

I have looked at a lot of bomb pictures . They got terribly nasty from rolling them on the dirt etc but I've never noticed any chipped to the metal.

Also that beautiful shinny drop tank was made from paper . Doubtful it would have been anything but painted .

Beautiful build, no matter what . Cheers, Christian B)

:yipee Another ('Christchurh') 405th FG P-47 !!

Really nice build of a great old kit - one of my favourite of those 1970's Monogram releases, and I would respectfully echo what Christian has already pointed out and mention that for the ("matter of realism"), the radio number on the fin would usually be below the white band.

thanks guys, I appreciate any feedback!, I did realize after the fact the numbers should go underneath! lol i was using the box art as my guide to place the decals though.. haha

I did not know the drop tank was made of paper? i thought it was aluminum, wanted to add some "bling" to that baby lol B)

I was looking at lots of bomb pics because I wanted to add some "bomb graffiti" but I found some with chipping etc. and figured that looks more interesting than no chipping :woohoo:

Interesting about the bomb :hmmm Anyhow they are all steel bdy , so I'm not sure how bright that could be . I notice these chip are look dull .

I did find some paper tanks painted silver though . Not as polished as yours but I have to admit that it looks very sharp.

Who would have though paper tanks would work ? Bear in mind they are throw away items.

Seems like the Germans used some on the BF 110 also.
