Finished Tamiya 1/48 Thunderbolt
Posted by Marmaduke on Friday, November 28, 2014 10:27 PM

Hello all! Here's one I finished a while back that I finally got around to taking some pics of. Those of you that have already built one of these know how great of a kit it is and those of you that haven't built one should! I built it out of the box except for the decals which were from Barracuda. Hope you like it!

Looks really good from the build to the paint and decals. I have been trying to get a couple of these at the model shows but haven't spotted one yet. I have heard only outstanding feedback on the Jug, Mustang, and just about any of Tamiya's models.

Very very nice build, especially the Alclad.  It took me 3 or four trys to get the Alclad right.

Excellent Jug. I've heard nothing but good things about the Tamiya kit. I need to add one to my stash. Excellent NMF also.

Well done.  Thanks for sharing.  I see a bubbletop jug on my horizon as well....

Hi,

Great looking build.  I have two of these kits and was wondering what decals you used,  they would go with my razorback sleepy time gal.

Thanks

They're from Barracuda...P-47 Thunderbolts Part 3. The website says they're out of stock. Here's the link for you though, maybe you can contact them and see if more will be available soon.

Great looking build! Makes me want to dive back into a stalled bubbletop project on my shelf.
