I like it. Cracking decals too!

Just the right amount of 'Chipping' on the prop/ cowl.....Nice one Ian.

A great build, the NMF looking very realistic.

Thats a good looking plane

What is "NMF" please

 

[Guest]

I really like this - that's one heavily-armed P-47 you've got there, Ian. I'd echo what others have said about the natural metal finish (that's the NMF, Amos) - how did you manage to get it looking so good with just Vallejo paints?

 

[Guest]

Excellent looking Jug Ian! That's a very natural finish, not super shiny but just right.

 

[papa 695]

Thanks all for the nice comments

Hi Doug many thanks for the great comment I treat it just as if I was using Alclad paints in the fact that it should go on a very smooth surface

great looking build Ian,just right not over done with the weathering ,very nice looking bird,

 

[Snowman]

Oooooh!! Its the version of the Thunderbolt that "floats my boat", bubble canopy, rockets, etc, etc!!

Very nicely done!!

 

[dave]

Great job on the metal finish.

 

[flyjoe180]

Wonderful work Ian. Superbly finished and weathered. Awesome looking Thunderbolt.

 

[Neil]

That is one lovely looking aircraft and build. Truly worthy of the 5 star build.

 

[Ian M]

That is the bee's knees.

Great finish over all, but as others have said, great job on the NMF. Which paint was it that you used. Model air? Model color? I always find model color a bit to metallic paint like...if you know what I mean.

Great job

Outstanding great build, I hate silver, I can never get a good look with it, but you have. Great job

Nicely done Ian makes me want to pull mine from the stash.
