Tamiya's P47 Razorback completed- what do you think?

docsudy · 2024-11-14T19:01:26-0500

Fellow SMA's . Its been awhile but I been busy. I finally completed my late 1943 P47 Razorback. I used a variety of weathering techniques to attempt to achieve a battle worn warbird (after flying escort countless missions out of England). I am relatively happy how she came out. On previous posts I demonstrated steps in the build. Now the finale. What do you think. Comments and suggestions on this build or for future builds happily accepted.
Thanks for your interest
Doc Sudy

Very Nice !

one question about the stars on the wings ,
don't they always point forward ?
Maybe not , I have no idea , I just don't remember ever seeing them like that .

There are decals from warbird. They were designed for the p-47 razorback. So I presume that they're correct. They're the only way they could be laid down. Also the same way they were shown in their instructions. But thanks for noticing

" They're the only way they could be laid down. "
why is that ?

I mean I have these particular decals are complete with the star roundelle and stripes together. So I laid down the decal exactly the way it was specified in the instructions , as well as the instructions by Tamiya. My research from images from 1943 and 44, which I could find also demonstrated that Tamiya's color replications where the decal should be were in sync with the real images.

Yes. Stars and bars will always point forward and/or up

Nice build.

Nice. She looks well worn. Just blame those upside down roundels on gremlins and you've got it covered.
