Guest DannyVM Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Hi guy's, this week i got my hand's on the Eduard P-47 kit, so i said it before, once it's mine i will start it. After some painstaking problem's with the MIG 23, and today again, i decided to start this one also. Still i will make more progress on the MIG 23 nose cone until i figured it all out, but that's for the appropriate topic. For now, this is the kit, and what's inside of it. The typical Eduard instructions And the extra's The color scheme will be "Dottie Mae", which is at the moment at the Planes of Fame museum in Restoration progress. This will be an oob build.

DocRob Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I just love the Jugs, straight powerful design which screams durability. As a teaser I want to show you a picture from a close neighbor of Dottie Mae. It is another P-47 from Yanks-Museum, directly besides Planes of Fame in Chino. I have some more detail pics of that P-47. If you are interested i might put them into the Walkaround-Section. Cheers Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to this one Danny. I too have one in the stash and the original Hasegawa boxing also so I have 2! Very nice. I have also the Trumpeter P-47D, but i learned that this one is a little more complicated then the Hasegawa kit. Greetz Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark 'ozzy' Ostler Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Nice subject Danny, I've got one on order just to see the difference between the trumpeter kit I've just built as a muck around kit. I wish there was a decent kit of the razorback as I like its brutal shape. Will start on the 'owl' again when this heat relents in the Southern Hemisphere! Its too hot to find inspiration at the moment. Good luck with the build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank's Mark, it's a great kit, and compared with the Trumpeter kit it seems like a more simple way to achieve thing's, but never less a good one.

Guest DannyVM Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Time to show you guy's some WIP photo's. Like i said before, i'm gonna build this kit oob. Except for some scratch build items. I made a start with the IP. Sanded al the details to make the IP ready to receive some colored pe. Also some pe is added to replace some plastic items. On the back i drilled some holes into the instruments for the wiring. Same go's with the side wall's of the cockpit. Cockpit floor And finally i took some time to construct the pe pilot's seat. Tomorrow i gonna try to put some primer and paint onto the cockpit section's. Greetz Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorge Márquez Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Encouraging the start of the table to what will be a great job in its finalization, pedientes of more advances, I liked the beginning with the photo cuts and the cabling realized in the cabin.

Thank's Jorge for the kind words. There is still need for improvement inside the kit's cockpit, so today i will carry on to do the detail work.

levier Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Danny, This is the YP-47M. Use some judgement on the interior green, it looks a bit bright to me. All equipment otherwise is factory and gov't spec. Enjoying your effort here.... pm me if you want larger fie of it. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DannyVM Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Thank's Brian for this nice photo. i wanted also a corrugated firewall so i decided to scratch build one. Then, the pilot's head-rest. Hasegawa gave two options, a half round and a square example. I did some research and it seem's that "Dottie Mae" had a square one. So decision made And finally, primer and paint. I tried to replicate the cockpit color as much as i could using cockpit green and black. The result isn't what i expected but it will do the job. Once i will wheater the cockpit colors changes allot, so i will wait and see. Greetz Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flipper Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I know that camera can change the color, but cockpit color on my screen seems to be more Olive drab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
