dennismcc Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) Absolutely top class, everything looks real, the finish looks like it has aged and faded rather than been "weathered".

JayW Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 And that is the new bar for P-47 models. Let's see if anyone can top it. I don't see how - this is darn near perfect. cmayer, Tony T, scvrobeson and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody V Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 This was an enjoyable and humbling build to watch. Your paint work and attention to detail is top notch. When you were doing the removable engine thing, I'm like why? Now I see why! That is so cool especially when you consider the amount of work put into these engines only to have them almost disappear when the cowling goes on. scvrobeson, Uncarina and Thunnus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
