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.

Sure is shiny isn't it Chris! Great paint.

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.

Nice choice Peter. Will make a eye catcher!

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.

Prop and spinner done. I almost hate to add the spinner and hide the nice prop dome detail!

Outstanding Peter. Nicely done and colorful!

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.

Making good progress now.

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. Remember to click on the 1st photo for best resolution and to view as a slide show. Easy peasy!

Sure is a good looking Jug Peter! Excellent scheme. I LIKE it!

Thanks Peter. I've always liked the looks of those Spits the Poles flew in N. Africa. The blue/white codes go well with that a/c.

It's been a while since I built a Tamiya Spit (a couple of Revell's, yes) so I decided it was time to get with the program. The Tamiya kits are SO MUCH better than the Revell kits, even though there is a fairly big difference in their prices, I decided a Tamiya build was the way to go. The Revell kits are pretty good but, like I said, the Tamiya kits are better. Excellent detail and fit. So here's the one I'm intending to do. I plan for it to be OOB except some after market wheels to replace the kit rubber ones. Decals for this a/c are provided in the kit. I've about got the cockpit sub assembly completed even using the fiddly kit PE belts. Stay tuned.

When I first saw that decal sheet for Burma Banshees I knew I had to do that particular a/c. I like the markings, etc.
