P-47D Razorback "Vulneratus non victus"

Hi my friend,

your build is becoming a piece of art. I really love the chipping at the wing root and ammo bays.

The oversprayed bands are very convincing as well. 
Keep up the terrific work.
Cheers.

Wow, that's just amazing work Antonio.   How did you replicate the scratched paint on the wings?   Very realistic.

Thanks John, 

I use for that effect, just small cut sponges with small amounts of aluminium paint, also a metallic pencil from the prismacolor brand, that's it 

cheers mate!

Antonio,

GREAT start to your build with a little background history to it. 

IMPECCABLE  build so far and Flawlessly  painted etc.

Good weathering too.

 

 

Thanks Maru for the kind words, yes i agree, i enjoy building a model with some kind of history behind, cheers

 

added some wires and a base coat of aluminium, some  washes are coming next, cheers 

[Antonio Argudo]

some progress on the engine and fuel tank, cheers

more work done, some different lights, had to use a wood stick to widen the windscreen otherwise a noticeable gap would show, it worked and now ready to paint, also filled the mirrors inserts which are not in the right position represented by Trumpeter, the sliding rear canopy will be a nightmare to mask,  not my favourite task in modelling 

cheers

Excellent work as usual, Antonio!  I have never fitted the canopy after main painting.  The windscreen joint is perfecto-mundo!

thanks gazzas,  I'm a mess in building my models with coherent  order   cheers

some paint on the rear canopy also 

cheers

Looking good, very nice work on the weathering.    On a side note, always wondered why so many early D's had the canopy unpainted?
