1:48 hobbyeasy P-47D

[rverissimo]

Hi all!

i would like to present a model that has been on my workbench for a couple of years, due to a missing part ( Landing gear wheel).

I decided that until i finish some of my older models, i will not start a new one, so this year i've dedicated myself to end / conclude this models.

This is one of them. Hobbyeasy 1:48 Scale P-47D . This is a very simplified but easy to build model and it's on my workbench since 2017.

Using a 3D resin set from eduard to fit the P-47D from miniart wheels, i proceed with it's conclusion.

The set it's easy to paint and assemble , and i adapt the wheel shaft with a 1mm metal rod and attach it to the landing gear. When i was satisfied with the fit, i then paint the wheels.

Also missing from the model was the pitot tube. i scratch a new one from a 0,6mm needle and some plasticard.

It's not on my standards, but i'm really happy to close this chapter.

Some work in progress photos , from 2017 and the final ones !

 

The Final ones!

thanks for watching and have a fantastic and healthy 2025!

hi!

It's a pretty easy model to build ! no issues at all.

Please note that the details are very simple ( the engine is molded in one piece with the cowling and some care is needed to paint it) and the cockpit has less detail as some new recent releases of the jug !

but my objective was to focus on the paint process !

 

regards!
