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

[docsudy]

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

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
