Works of art. 

I rank the Tamiya P-47 series as among the best 48 scale kits ever produced.

As usual, you've knocked it out of the park. I like the idea of building two at a time, sort of like an assembly line! Maybe that's how I increase my build volume...

Thanks for sharing these two birds. You've done a fantastic job. Can't wait to see what you do with the Hurricane next!

Thanks Max.  I normally don't build multiples, but these were so similar scheme-wise it made sense to build them together.

What a great pair!  I really like how the camo came out in the end on both. Excellent across the board. Congrats.

Great looking pair of jugs there brother.  In truth - you could win awards with just your props!  Fantastic work - do you have an opening for an apprentice? 

Thanks,

John

Thanks Keav. The Tamiya Jug props are so well rendered they are hard to mess up. I painted the hub Alclad polished aluminum to draw the eye in. A little trick...

Mate....with my OCD problem trying to replicate "perfection" ( I do ok) I'd be VERY happy if my Jug's "bits" looked as good as yours do.
Very....nicely....done.
Can't wait to see more!!

AMAZING work!  I just might have to move my Monogram Promodeler Jug next, right after I finish my Osprey!
