1/32 Hasegawa P-47D30 Thunderbolt FINISHED....

[Tolga ULGUR]

Cockpit ready for installation into the fuselage

Next step will be the engine 

[waroff]

to be exact, the canvas at the stick control base was olive drab

to be exact, the canvas at the stick control base was olive drab

I do not think that this is general rule

Here are two differents examples from Lou Drendel s P-47 Walk Around and Bert Kinzey s P-47 Detail & scale.

Looks great Tolga, what brand of paint did you use for the cockpit ?

Thanks

The paint is Gunze Sangyo H302 acrylic

[waroff]

this part was common on all P47, from B model to D30 & up.
Perhaps on your pic this part was not original and/or the OD color faded after 50 years?
In any case, the brown color give a few color in the monotony of the cockpit.

Hi Waroff, the asterisk preceeding the color fabric callout indicates a notation seen

at the left of the drawing. It's not particularly clear when blown up but it looks to me

like the color fabric is an option to the leather, and not compulsory.

Next step is the engine.

In the beginning, I was planning to use Quickboost resin engine.

But now I have decided to continue with a hybrid solution:

Hasegawa s engine and front section of the Quickboost resin set.

I cut the front part of Quickboost resin engine.

Also too add to what mmaben said:  Waroff, define the exact shade of Olive Drab as applied to the cloth boot...and then define what waterproofing did to that shade of OD.  The fabric part (Item 1 in the blueprint) is the major part of the boot.  The reinforcing part (Item 2 in the blueprint) was to be leather; clearly shown in the photos Tulgar posted.  I'd say his shade of OD is equally as good as anything else that leans toward OD.  The dull dark green in the cockpit looks great!  H302 eh?  I'll have to do some looking and get some of that color. 

 

Uh oh Tulgar...  Those distributor's on the 2800 should be the GE ignition system, not the Bendix dual magneto with the distributors (your prop governor is correctly positioned).  Not many will know the difference but in case you are interested, see below:

" * compliance with paragraph D-10 of spe AAF...on resistance to mildew is not compulsory; balance of the specification still applies."

...In few words the correct engine has the part K5 ommited,the turtleback magnetos (K3-K4) and J2 as the front part

[hayaman]

if i m not mistaken that Gunze colour is the IJN Green,i ve found that TAMIYA IJN Green is even closer(or identical) with ex White Ensign s Dull Dark Green for P-47,try it

Ah, I see. Now all we need is the applicable spec.

I'm not trying to argue, but drawings can be revised

for any number of reasons so relying on them as

absolute proof is not necessarily a good idea.

H302 is listed as FS 34092 (Euro I green) which is a dead ringer for DDG.
