Hi everyone! Well, here it is. Finally completed! Hasegawa's 1/32 kit of the P-47D Thunderbolt, depicting Captain Neil Stanley's Daddy RABBIT. The majority of the details were scratch built with the only aftermarket additions being a resin seat from Avionix and wheels from Eduard. This was my first attempt at a natural metal finish and for this I applied a variation of the black basing technique where the black was substituted with silver and the mottling was done with grey instead of the camouflage colours. Weathering was quite extensive was done mostly with oils while inks were used for the exhaust stains. Quite happy with the final result and I can now feel more confident in tackling another natural metal finish!

Hello everyone! Back with another project and first for 2023. This time I will be tackling Hasegawa's 1/32 scale kit of the P-47D Thunderbolt, bubbletop version, and will depict Glenn T. Eagleston's aircraft. I will also be using the following aftermarket sets: Avionix resin cockpit Quickboost resin engine Eduard resin wheels I'm aware of the kit's misalignment issues around the cowling and Rick Kranias kindly pointed me to his detailed post on how to fix this. Quickboost provides a separate mounting for the engine which requires some surgery on the kit. Has anyone used this set and, if yes, did it it fix the issue? Hasegawa's kits are known for their good quality and accurately shaped moldings and are usually sold at a reasonable cost by keeping some details simple such as the surface details. So, that's how I decided to start the project. By riveting the whole airframe with the help of a Rosie the Riveter wheel. The riveting pattern is by no means an exact replica of the real thing but rather it follows the general plan with the aim to make the whole fuselage look more busy.
