OLD 1/32 Revell P-47

This was a freebie from a guy I have never met on the net. Modelers are the greatest guys!!!!!


The white piece is a missing piece that I had to scratch build!! Turned out much better than I thought it would. Finally glad I got that cordless "rotary tool"

Basically I have slapped this baby together to test out and get more comfortable with these Alclad lacquers!!! I started with the engine (on the MiG-21) . The really shiny parts are the untreated Alclad polished Aluminum. They are impressive.

I love Alclad II. It just works. I have yet to have any issue with it.

What a HOG of an engine!
I always liked the P-47s, they struck me as too big for what I conceived of as a "Fighter" plane.
Big ol' battle wagons!
I assembled/painted one back in High School. Monogram, I believe, it was the Razorback version and had an Indian head insignia for nose art.......Awwwww......Memories. ;D
