P-47D 1/48 Monogram

Bob yes indeed but one I can wake up from me thinks ,Colin thanks looks like the detail remained fairly well intact.

Well I have made a partial recovery to were I wanted to be. I shot tamiya ts-30 first followed by Model Master aluminum plate metalizer. Then I buffed everything out by hand and shot automotive 2part urethane clear thinned about 30% over the whole thing. I'm not going to attempt to mask and spray the invasion stripes,just too worried everything will pull up again! I tried using the kit supplied ones but ruined them putting them on,totally my fault. So 'elsie ' will have to live without her belly stripes,oh well.

Decals are Aero Master and are working great

Monster Prop is ready to hang

nice recovery job Trey......

you could remove page 3 from the thread and no-one would be the wiser looking at the model now.

Just caught up on this one. Talk of ups and downs. What a great recovery as well.

Shame about the stripes but she is looking mighty fine no the less.

Great work Trey, you have recovered it well. I admire you guys who are brave enough to use NMF.

Thanks for all the support from everyone through a trying build,its very much appreciated. This one almost went to the bin on more than one occasion. I learned a few things,and pulled out of the dive before impact. Thanks again and enjoy the pics,as always comments and critiques are always welcome cheers Trey

I'm calling it done

Added some gunsight details

I used watercolor mixed with Formula'560' canopy glue for the id lights after drilling them slightly

also used the same canopy glue for the clear position lights

I used aluminum tubing for the exhaust and punched out disc for the pressure valve that goes in the outlet

cheers Trey

Wonderfully finished Trey, after all those trials you have to be happy with the result. Nice work on the gun sight and exhaust too.

[Guest]

Thanks Joe!

Thanks to a fellow modeller who took the time to point out that the gear angle needed a tweak!

The fix,looks a lot better ! Nice when someone has the guts to do that for ya,I think we all worry a bit about stepping on feelings but this kind of input is a big help!

[Guest]

woohoo it got built,looks better than my best builds lol 5*s from me as i love this plane

Well for saying this one kneed you in the private parts and then kicked you when you were down i think it's turned out brilliant ... i'd be well happy at producing an aircraft of that quality.

totally worth * * * * *
