LoL, they went good except for where I stuck my thumb in the wet paint on one stripe. I almost missed covering some of the white (masked off to shoot the black). I shot black on one wing before I noticed. I thought "whew...I almost screwed up". Then I proceeded to pick up the model by the wing I JUST painted. As I did I realized where my thumb was...DOH! Dumb. Really dumb... Now I need to do the fuselage. I think I might try and use the decals for that. Maybe...

Alex Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Looking excellent! I was planning to do this exact subject back when I thought I would be done with my move & associated projects in time to participate in this group build. I’m glad to see someone doing it, and doing it so nicely. Ayovan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayovan Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 Today was one of those days. Seemed like everything I touched went to poop. At least I got the wheels painted without a hitch.

Anyhoo even though you had a few minor scrapes your P-47 is looking splendiferous. Paint et al is mighty neat... Thanks Maru. It's probably the best painting I've done on a model yet. It's been a lot of fun so far. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayovan Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) I thought I might get a little bit of a short cut for the D-Day stripes on the fuselage. Nope, not gunna be that lucky. The kit decal invasion stripes don't really line up correctly with the national insignia. I put the stars n bars on and cleared over them so I can lay the D-Day stripes out next weekend. I get to challenge myself a little. There is a small black border on the white that will be fun to mask.

Phantom2 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Nice work soo far! You´ll be better off painting those stripes! I had a real hell to get those decals in place, lucky for me, I had two kits so I had a lot of spare stripes and that saved me (and my build)! Cheers!
