spyrosjzmichos Posted May 30, 2024 Posted May 30, 2024 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! Lud13, TenSeven, Kagemusha and 17 others 18 2
geedubelyer Posted May 30, 2024 Posted May 30, 2024 Beautiful model. The more one looks the more becomes apparent. So many little trinkets to discover. Great job Kagemusha and spyrosjzmichos 2
dennismcc Posted May 31, 2024 Posted May 31, 2024 Superb build of a truly basic and ancient kit, I have fond memories of building one as a SEAC aircraft but yours is light years ahead of mine. Cheers Dennis spyrosjzmichos 1

Cheers Dennis Thank you Dennis! It's actually not that bad of a kit considering its age. Found it pretty well detailed in most areas with the only frustrating part being the cowling assembly. I did enjoyed it thoroughly.
