discussion Fill 'er up - P-47D refuelling scene.

[Guest]

Well we had a little sun today so I've taken a few more pictures which are hopefully a bit better. The light shows up the silvering on the tiny decals more though. Will experiment with brushing on some black lines next time just to give the impression of a marking.

Thanks again for following the build :thumb2:

Give yourself a pat on the back mate, that is a great scene.

 

[The Smythe Meister]

It would appear that i talk too much!!
Sorry about that..........
Well done Andy,a top effort there :thumb2:

 

[Guest]

Thanks everyone, the more I look at it the more I like it myself lol

And please Andy, don't stop on my account. I've never been great at taking praise but thank you very much for the kind words, I really appreciate it.

I'm not a dio person, but I really like that Andy. I think I'd like it even more if the jeep was pointing into the scene rather than out though!

[Guest]

Thanks Pete.

I did ponder that for quite a while actually. As it is he would have had to reverse into that spot, which would be a bit strange.

In the end I went with showing the best side of the Jeep.

Andy. Very impressive and a great finish reward yourself for your hard work

Great work Andy.

Thanks Lee and Ian.

I need to find somewhere to put it now, running out of room! I can see the wife insisting on 1/72 or smaller from now on :smiling5:

1-87 scale might be fun:rolling:

A lovely tidy build Andy. A very crisp dio. Lots going on and plenty of eye candy. One to be proud of my friend.

I don't think I have the eyesight or dexterity for that Rick! :nerd:

Thanks Steve. It came out better than I expected, but I also think it's something I could add to or fettle in the future if something comes to me
