This work is nothing short of amazing Gary. Details and weathering are off the dang charts man.

Simply incredible! The attention to details even the smallest details do not go unnoticed.
Go Bucky Badger, says On Wisconsin!

Yes, it know about Bucky.
I dated a beautiful girl from Madison. She, unfortunately, moved back to Wis.
Her brother and I played Hockey together, down here in Houston (where I am born and raised). I played goalie and accidentally hit him in the head with the blade of my stick... ooops.

Thank you so much. Your words mean alot.!! These are only my first 4 models since I was 21.

Won't work on this forum, but when someone critics my work, either models, or woodworking, or other projects I reply let's go look at the one you did for comparison. Most people don't realize how tedious or difficult task are that they don't participate in. BTW your work is great.

 

[BarleyBop]

I must say, you gents do mighty fine work.

I guess hanging around here really has me appreciating the subject matter, and all the subtleties of airframe builds!

 

[blakeh1]

Excellent work and top notch weathering!

 

[docsudy]

Thank you all for noticing my work. Your very thoughtful comments are very much appreciated.!!

Hey, your build is just telling a story...in 1944 this particular P-47 got some major BF-109 shelling and required a duel wing overhaul. LEGEND has it the crew chief who painted the star mistake is still peeling patotos somewhere in Eastern England. MAYBE the crew chief painted that way to confuse German gunners not knowing if the P-47 was coming or going


absolutely superb work and anyone really important (family) won't know about the stars (not that anyone on SMA aren't important)

BUT, please don't do what I would do and try to correct it and ruin the whole darn thing!

 

[docsudy]

Hey thanks so much. Hey great story!!!
Your the best. Too kind.
I have been following your work....just fantastic!!!! Keep it up

Awesome dashboard!

 

[fantacmet]

Looking good. I just grabbed the bubble top, I prefer the look of the razorback with the P47 though. The bubble looks goofy. You've done a great job here.

 

[Holz44]

Great looking "weathered" Razorback!
Stars already well covered, so no need here.
Keep up the good work!

 

[Littlemarten]

Very nice weathering. As for the stars and bars, must have been a holdover from the A. E. F. (as in A__ End Forward.)

 

[Airborne01!]

Superb group of builds! Well done mate.

Wow !!!!!I have been thinking about doing a PBY Catalina over the past 2 days. I found a 1/72 version by Academy. I would love to know what model you did and if you would be willing to share with me your version. I just love the Cat. It was such an unsung hero of WWII

Sorry, Gary, I just now seen this post. Here are some pics.
