Rick K Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 WEATHERING FIRST STEPS Florys Wash applied then a filter of diluted black/brown applied. Exhaust filter and MiG pigments on deck. This is my first complete NMF using Alclad and I really like the difference that Flory's wash offers. Before Florys. Hey, I'm a P47D-25 RA with "retro/field fitted" bomb racks, compression flaps and fin fillet! Wait! I'm a P47D-26 RA with "retro/field fitted" bomb racks, compression flaps and fin fillet. daveculp, Ripaman, Bill Cross and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick K Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Awesome work. It.looks great. Where did you get the brass barrels? What size are they? Diameter? Sorry for not answering your question on the gun barrels. They are Hasegawa HSGQG12, they are drop in replacements. Out of production and hard to find. QuickBoost is a best alternative.
