1/72 Revell P-47M

This is my new model, a P-47M from Revell in 1/72nd scale.  I added a Verlinden set to the kit to improve the details.  The set contains resin gun bays, resin cockpit, and engine detail.  I used like usual Lifecolor acrylic paints for the camouflage and Alclad II for the metallic paints.

The model depicts the P-47M-1 which was assigned to the major George Bostwick, from the 56th fighter group, the famous "Wolf pack".  In April 1945 the 56th FG was based in Boxted, in England.  Maj Bostwick finished the war with 8 kills.  On 7 April 1945, Botswick damaged a Me 262 in this aircraft.
