2nd Hasegawa 1/48 Razorback Jug w/Thundercals
JohnB replied to JohnB's topic in LSM 1/48 Work in Progress
So do I Peter. NMF was just the right "color" for them. -

The CAMO came out okay, thanks. Tedious work. -
While waiting for the paint to dry on the Tamiya Spitfire Mk IX I'm going to proceed with another 1/48 Jug build. I'll use Thundercals on this one too (no sense in letting those nice decals just sit in the stash).

Top camo in place. Now I'll set it aside until it's good and dry then see about some decaling. Probably tomorrow or Friday. Meanwhile I'm doing another 1/48 Razorback Jug and plan to use Thundercals on it too. -

Agreed Peter. I really like Xtracolor and use it as often as possible. -

Excellent paint. Airbrushes very well and you get a really nice gloss finish. Too bad it isn't readily available in the US. -

That's the thing about Xtracolor. Great gloss finish which negates the need for a clear gloss overcoat. -

Applied the Xtracolor Azure Blue this afternoon. Wow! Nearly had to put my dark glasses on!!! LOL I really like Xtracolor but it takes quite a while to dry. I'll set the Spit aside until tomorrow. It should be dry by then and I can apply one of the top colors. -

Thanks Dennis. I agree that color scheme looks good on a Spitfire. I think the color scheme plus the blue/white codes really "pop" on these desert birds. -

Me too Chris. Most of the N. Africa schemes look interesting, especially for the Poles with the blue/white codes. I wish Tamiya would resurrect their 1/32 a/c line. Too much to hope for I'm afraid. -

It's a very nice kit KUROK. Some areas are pretty fiddly due to the detachable cowlings. Not easy to get them to fit just right. That's where I am right now on mine. I hope to have them sorted out today some time. -

Thanks Kevin. Another scheme that is a little bit different. -

Yes indeed Kevin. Schemes out of the "usual" can create a lot of interest. The blue/white codes on those Polish Farting Team a/c look really good. -

Agreed Carl. A bit different from the Green/Grey scheme. -

Hasegawa P-47 Razorback Burma Banshees RFI
JohnB replied to JohnB's topic in LSM 1/48 Aircraft Ready for Inspection
Thanks Martin. I agree they had lots of interesting markings and I'm glad you like the results of my modeling efforts. I'll likely do another before long. It would be a shame to just let those great decals just sit in the decal stash! 😄 -

Thank you Peter. -
All done! https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/20137-hasegawa-p-47-razorback-burma-banshees-rfi/

Finished with this one. The very nice Thundercals decals go well with the Hasegawa Razorback P-47. Easy build with no fit problems made this a enjoyable build. The Thundercals decals are nice and thin and are easy to apply. Painted with Alclad Aluminum, Testor's Yellow Zinc Chromate and OD, and Colourcoats Dull Dark Green. Seat belts are FineMolds. I will probably do another Burma Banshee P-47 since the Thundercals sheet has many good looking subjects. I hope you like it.
