  Victory Day in Turkey 2005 

 

I built this beautiful Revell kit out-of-the-box and no modification was necessary to get Turkish Air Force P-47.

After finishing the assembly, I sprayed overall Testors Metalizer Aluminium. Than I made a mixture of  60% Alcohol + 10% Tamiya Black + 30%  Gloss Clear and sprayed to the panel lines to weather the plane.

Finally I fogged my P-47 overall from a distance with thinned Testors Metalizer Aluminum and let dry for few days. For decals I used  Turquoise Decals Turkish Air Force roundels and markings ( TD002 ).  Finally a coat of Future sprayed for overall protection and to give a dull metal appearance
