Tamiya 1/48 P-47 D WIP

I can tell by the work you put into the 'pit and your refs, it's gonna be a great build!

Keep us posted in the build.

Great looking build so far...tons of detail in that office!!  Any aftermarket products used on the pit or is it right from the box?

Hey Sanderson,

 I echo what everbody has said... I especially like your IP.. Don't you just love the instrument decal they provide??

 I used it on mine and it looks really good... Anywho I am looking forward to the WIP's and the final build!!

 Flaps up,

Mike

Hey everyone, thanks for the great comments! 

Mark983 - so far the cockpit is OOB except for the Eduard seat belts.  The wiring harness on the engine is a spare from the Verlinden R-2800 set.  I am going to use True Details wheels instead of the kit wheels and the Aero Master decals for Ole Cock III.  This is set 48-785 The Wolfpack part X. 

JMart - this is Tamiya kit 61090 which has a Checkerboard Bubbletop P-47 on the box. 

I won't have too much time to build this weekend but will try to get some new progress pictures out soon.  Thanks!

Nice work....I think the Tamiya kit will be my next project...interested in how it all comes together.

Thats a fantastic start there boss. The end result is going to be something else!!!!

I have one question if I may?

I just bought a 1/48 Revell P-47N and on the decal plan on both sides the P-47 it has nose art of two different pictures and writting. Is this right??? You must forgive me I haven't done an American aircraft in a very long time

Best regards, !

Lenny,

I think that most US Aircraft had nose art primarily on the left side but some had it on both.  I think that it really depends on the specific aircraft that is depicted on the decals.  I wish that I could be more help than this.
