I used
almost all shades of Alclad available followed a couple of coats of Future
for the decals application, then another coat of future followed by grey
oil wash on the bare metal parts and dark green oil on the olive drab. All
was sealed with Vallejo satin 522. The light blue on the cowling was my
own mix, as the exact color is not know.
Decals
came from Lifelike “Republic P-47D Thunderbolt Part 5” code48-014.
I added brake lines and engine wires. Eduard PE Zoom set FE240 for the cockpit and
die-cut mask EX010 from the same brand.
My
best.
