1/48 Tamiya P-47M Thunderbolt  Part2

Hi all
 
This is my 1/48  P-47 M from Tamiya, this is a very good kit with good detail.  About the colours on my bird.....outside painting, guess the true colour from George Bosvik’s plane cos it’s unseen pattern.  Please forgive me that I forgot to make a shot when I was doing the painted with my airbrush, I promise to present it next time.

I painted a spotted color on the outside and weathering was done to make it look like a shopworn plane (a high performance pilot flew it!)  Let’s see a spotted color that burn with sunlight, it’s not similar shade.  So it looks like the real plane!

Today I've included photos of the weapons load, gearbays, dropped flaps and the finished exterior of the plane.  I've also included photos of the photo etch I used on my P-47.

I hope you enjoy seeing it.
Regards 
Oishi
