Nicely done captured jug from mid '44 on.

Marvelous jug!!

My dad was a Thunderbolt pilot.

Yeah, despite your issues she turned out fantastic! Worth all the sweat and effort!

I believe you were trying to get a well weathered/tired warbird. To that end you were very successful. Congrats on a very fine build.

Stay Safe.

Excellent build!  I agree with everything that everyone else has said, it's awesome.  Love it in the captured German markings.  For your first NMF it turned out very well.(I'm too nervous to attempt my first NMF) Always thought that the P-47 and the Corsair were huge menacing machines when they were compared to the Zero,Me-109,Spitfire, and the P-51.

Thank tou Wpwar! Appreciated.

Yeah, I am kind of practicing to shift my focus on the process itself more than on the end result. More fun that way. :)

Thanks Jim! Appreciated!

Yeah, in the end I ended up with a bit more weathering than I intended after the hiccup with the clear coat and the decals. That's where I had to make adjustments and turn it into a "what if" scenario. :)

Thanks Tom! Glad that you like how she turned out. 

The "what if" scenario was the go to option after the mishap with the clear coat and decals. It did the job to some extent. :)
