WIP 1/72 P-47D Bubbletop

[Dusan]

Tamiya P-47's are very nice kits, I like them so much i have two in 1/72 scale but i will buy a few in 1/48 scale. I also have a Revell 1/72 P-47 but Tamiya P-47's are without question the best kits of these aircraft in 1/72.

Box,

parts.

The cockpit is well detailed and looks great.

This build will be OOB but I had to add seatbelts.

Thanks for looking.

All the best!

The internal cockpit components were primed and painted with
Gunze and Tamiya colors.

Tamiya primer,

very nice tamiya XF-4

and green.

I will add a tninned oil paint wash with Lamp Black and Raw Umber to represent grime and dirt. hyeah

looking good, washes are looking good. They are sort of lost in these pictures, maybe it will show up better when built, or might want to put in on a little thicker. I did weathering on a VooDoo a while back, when I did it I thought I had really over done it. Turned out it looked really good in pictures.

Thanks for the comments guys

Yes, you are right Moon Puppy on the previous photos wash can not be seen.

Because I later added a mixture of of heavier wash.

Lamp Black and Raw Umber (Reeves Artist oil color).

Cockpit is not finished yet, i have to add more detail and also to paint some switches.

hmm, maby and one silver pipe more:hmmm

This is a real time build

Thanks for looking!

All the best!

Weather forecast unpredictable here and I am just getting over a cold :huh: , so my work on P-47 is a little slow.
This is what i done so far.

I added some small details in cockpit,

instrument panel, decals are very nice and in center,

excellent fit no putty at all, only a few rescribed panel lines.

Primer,

and a coat of future (klear in my case) nice base for alclad.

Thanks for looking and All the best!!!

Hi Dusan, P-47 interior looking really good. Looking forward to more.

You would think that gas mask and canister would help with the allergies... have been suffering myself.

Cheers, Christian B)

Very nice, Dusan. Do you want to build my cockpits from now on? My cockpits not even look that good in 1/48.

What ab awesome idea Joe. I always feel like I'll never get past the cockpit but it's downhill after that.

Group rates ?

Cheers, Christian B)

 

[Dusan]

Thank you for your comments guys! Christian, Joe, very kind words of you!


I continued to work on P-47 and I painted a layer alclad,

then I did some panels with other shades,

and anti glare panel.

Now I need to paint black bars and to spray a model with clear coat (glossy hyeah ).

Thanks for looking!

All the best!
Dusan.
