the detail is very good but is very fragile.

[destrozas.]

I started painting a yellow chromate base (zinc chromate yellow OF DDG)




I gave him a hand followed the C-23 and this FS34062 Gunze (bronze green) in glazes to be much chromatic variation, barely visible in the photos but is there.







here seen anything more

[wbill76]

Making good progress on the interior Sergio.

[destrozas.]

thanks bill,
continuing with the project, working 20 days straight as I have little time to do things but that's what life is.
The engine has to rebuild a bit since it was not the second coming I had this plane.





the plane to give best appearance I make the lines of rivets

As to make the lines used the trumpeter riveting but the marking was one to one marked with a pointer study watchmaker and a marker of tungsten

[bbd468]

P-47's lookin fantastic Sergio! Great paint and decals.

[deafpanzer]

Dig those colorful decals!!! Keep up with the good work!

[destrozas.]

thanks you guys,
this plane is half the cabinet and was the longest process without being able to touch between drying and drying the truth is that very pretty but I will look later better a defect it has, the transparent is broken in a scheme, the wheels I do not like as they are, so although this finish later went through a reform

[destrozas.]

The last part of the plane so I started the spitfire, this is finished, I gave him the weathering, the final painting and the wearing effect of the plane, and you review photos



















I hope your opinions, you know that I value

[deafpanzer]

Stunning build! Are you sure it is a war bird? I think it is actually a racing plane because of all those colorful decals on it. I like the faded yellow paint!

[bbd468]

Well done fella! How did you make the stains for the 50.cal discharge smoke? looks great!
