I appreciate the "Atta Boys" from all of you. Thank you.
Had a long spring break with family and look forward to getting back to the bench next week.
Best - Rick

Wrapped this up about 2 weeks ago. My bad for not posting sooner. Hasegawa's P47D Bubble Top was used for Frank Perego's mount "Slick Chick". Overall a sound kit and fun build with only issue being having to lower the engine mount by about 1mm. BUILD REVIEW DETAILAlclad II - various shades Gunze and Valliajo used throughout Flory's Wash Thinned brown & black wash followed by Alclad II Semi Matte overall MiG pigments for dirt, exhaust, powder burns on blast tubes and ordnance weathering Added various wires & plumbing in R2800, cockpit, wheel wells, landing gear and bombs Aftermarket items Eduard bomb fins/belts, Hasegawa brass blast tubes, Barracuda wheels Scratch built the M10 bazookas, K14 glass, oxygen hose, fuel lines on drop tank and static wire With flaws too numerous to mention this build yielded some great lessons as my skill-sets continue to evolve. Thank you all for your encouragement and support during this build. June and July will be dedicated to rebuilding my bench and setting up new acrylic photo table. Then on to my Ju88 Mistel 2, Typhoon and a WNW DH.0 Hellenic Naval Air Service. Enjoy.           |

Flaws? Too numerous to mention? Then how can that be one of the nicest jugs I've seen. Just beautiful.

Very nicely done Rick! Sometimes getting back on track in a shelved build is very tough but you've kept the consistency throughout. She's a beauty!
