1/48 Academy P-47D Thunderbolt

--------------------

 

Here is my Academy 1/48 P-47D Thunderbolt built straight OOB.  I used Gunze Lacquer for the base NMF, different panel shades, black invasion bands and medium blue band.  Tamiya acrylics were used for the red, white tail stripes and yellow cowling.

The serial numbers were custom printed decals.  The yellow No. "74" was from my spares.  I based the model from a photo of a Thunderbolt with the 41st FS, 35th Fighter Group taken at Porac Airfield, Pampanga, Philippines on the early part of 1945.

Cheers,

Tony
