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

Hey Gary
Thanks so much for noticing. I really tried to use all my weathering tricks to make the model look like a really worn bird.
All the best

Weathering, for me, is a lot of fun.
My 2 favorite weathered models are my PBY Catalina and my first German tank, I actually used putty for the zimmerit.
 
Wow !!!!!I have been thinking about doing a PBY Catalina over the past 2 days. I found a 1/72 version by Academy. I would love to know what model you did and if you would be willing to share with me your version. I just love the Cat. It was such an unsung hero of WWII

Aside from the direction of the decals, which has already been pointed out, this is a very well built and weathered P-47 Gary and you are well ahead of me on your weathering skills. Well built and photographed Razorback bud. 1732135384103.png

I had a 1/72 from Academy "Black Cat"
I attached a few pics.
My weathering is subtle, but effective. :)

Really sweet build. This is the same kit I was eyeing, and thinking of doing it in the routine or normal Navy colors of the Pacific, blue gray top and light gray bottom. Thanks for sharing

Thanks!
It was a breeze to build without any issues.
Looking forward to seeing your work.
 
This work is nothing short of amazing Gary. Details and weathering are off the dang charts man.

Simply incredible! The attention to details even the smallest details do not go unnoticed.
Go Bucky Badger, says On Wisconsin!

Yes, it know about Bucky. :p
I dated a beautiful girl from Madison. She, unfortunately, moved back to Wis.
Her brother and I played Hockey together, down here in Houston (where I am born and raised). I played goalie and accidentally hit him in the head with the blade of my stick... ooops.
