Gallery Article by Tolga ULGUR on July 29 2010

 

This is 1/48 Tamiya P-47 D28 Thunderbolt finished with the markings of 353 rd FG, 8th AF based at Raydon-England, during the late summer of 1944.
I have built this model ( Rat a Dat flown by Lt. Ken Gallup ) again after 7 years by using Tamiya kit this time.

The cockpit modified by Eduard PE instrument panel, seat belts, Tally Ho PE gunsight and a few scratchbuilt additions.

Natural metal painting was done with Alclad aluminium lackers as usual.
D Day bands are painted by Tamiya acrylics. 
Decals are from Aeromaster and Superscale sets.

The wheels are replaced by Ultracast goodies.

Happy modelling
