1/48 Tamiya P-47D Thunderbolt

--------------------

 

I bought this kit at my local hobbyshop quite some time ago.  I started making it right away, was surprised by the great detail of the interior and the nice fit of all the parts in the kit.  I ended up finishing the construction of the plane itself, but put it back in the box for quite a while because I dreaded the bare metal finish.  However after browsing around ARC for quite a while, I stumbled on Alclad II paints. The model has been finished with DuralAluminium Alclad II, and the rest is painted with Tamiya acrylic paints.

This is one of my first models in a very long time. I'm quite pleased with the result. Now onwards with the rest of my pile of boxes in my workshop.
