Cem says he made a few modifications to Revell Germany’s 1/72 scale Republic P-47D-30 Thunderbolt: “I changed the solid reflector plate of K-14A sight to clear acetate,” he writes, “modified the pitot tube, and added antenna wire (from my wife’s hair).”
He also used Eduard seat belts and Turquoise Decals’ “Turkish Air Force Markings,” and laser-printed his own code and serial numbers. Tamiya Diorama Texture Paints cover the groundwork, and various enamel and acrylic paints (especially Revell, he says) finish the model.
