shadowmare Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Hi, i decided to show my new project which is older version of Thunderbolt. I will add Eduard etch for cockpit and cut out a panel on side to show guts behind engine. Trumpeter provided many interior goods so it's really a shame not to present them. Painting will be Pied Paper or Passionate Patsy, unfortunately Kagero done decals only for Bubbletop Patsy, so i have artwork only, without serial number on tail (problem) or code on side (smaller problem). Does anybody have photo of Razorback Patsy with 3 downed planes? I have seen model with that but have only photos where plane is without them. Seat is for P-400 Special Hobby but seems legit for P-47. I will need to repait it. themongoose, TenSeven, Hagar and 13 others 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dpgsbody55 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) Great project. Mine is presently on my shelf of doom, but I'm fairly certain I will finish it. Incidentally, I had the same idea as you, to open up the sides to see all the supercharger workings inside. Here's the intercoolers under construction. And the assembled trunking: I'll be following this one.

shadowmare Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 Engine wired, i focused mainly on front because rest won't be visible without cutting cover. Now i must work on whats behind it, because of taken panel. Landrotten Highlander, sandokan, easixpedro and 9 others 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 That looks great, I really must build one of those kits. Cheers Dennis shadowmare 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowmare Posted August 17, 2023 Author Share Posted August 17, 2023 I'm coming back. I managed to crack canopy so i bought vacu for cardmodel. I fixed seat by little bit, to make it somehow similar. I bought some additional stuff, HGW decals seams to have about 100 time less details than good old Cartograph print (from Kagero book). But I don't know what scheme to choose - guess too many options. HB252, Sasha As, MikeMaben and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dpgsbody55 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Nice to see this back. I did eventually finish mine too. (Link in my signature, if you want a look.) Cheers, Michael shadowmare 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monthebiff Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Welcome back, interesting comparison of the Carograph and HGW decals, Cartograph win for me. Regards. Andy shadowmare 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowmare Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 Progress. Painted cockpit with Eduard PE and some lead wiring. Head rest made using Tamiya tape and Tamiya XF-64 <- fast drying enamel, in every way better than normal oils but original thinner has awful smell. I will make some dirt and modulation effects. 14 hours ago, Dpgsbody55 said: Nice to see this back. I did eventually finish mine too. (Link in my signature, if you want a look.)

shadowmare Posted August 21, 2023 Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 Cockpit finished (not including levers. I'm always knocking them out when I mask cockpit). Now work on whats behind engine. Painting scheme I'm chosing is "Miss Mary Lou". Plane was equipped with bazookas or bombs. Bare metal differentiates from olive drab and blue is icing on a cake. I found one scheme with blue bar behind cokpit but i think that is misinterpretation of photos. patricksparks, MikeMaben, LSP_Kevin and 17 others 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
