1/48 1967 Monogram Thunderbolt P-47D

[Guest]

Very, very nice work Lee.

I was at the opening of the American Air Museum at Duxford in 1997 (working unfortunately), and two of these and a P51 flew over. The scream of those pistons is something I'll never forget

Peter. Thanks for stopping by and the complement I once had a P-51 do a flyby where I was unloading and finished with a barrel roll what a site.

Well done buddy, looks great, those decals have gone on well .

[Lee Drennen]

John. The decals are the best I’ve ever used. They work well with Microset sol. I’m on the home stretch. Thanks for the complement

Lee,
The decals have really brought out the finish.

[Lee Drennen]

Thanks Paul it’s getting hard to tell it was a old Monogram those decals just melt on

[Lee Drennen]

I got around to paint and put the tail wheel on. Some more updates later

Looks good Lee. I got some detail shots of a scraper for your construction equipment build.
I think it's the same one, will pm them to you when I get back from the left coast.

Thanks but I’m not going forward with any more of the 1/87 build my eyes and hand can’t take it sorry but thanks for the legwork

[Lee Drennen]

John. Thank you for the complement it has been a really fun build. But now its almost complete

In that case Lee, I hope you won't mind if I build one myself. Just bought a 3D printed crawler so I might be picking your brain for scraper info. lol. Rick H.
