CrankyCrafstman Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Here is my Trumpeter P-47D razerback. I'm doing it as "Big Stud" LTC Robert Lee Baseler Commanding Officer - 325th FG. I had trouble with the old micro scale decals, they were pretty fragile. They tore in a couple places I'll have to figure out a way to fix them, possibly hand paint them to touch them up. Here are some pics look em over and let me know what you think. Added the wiring behind the IP with 0.3 & 0.5mm lead wire. Used Eduards photo etch cockpit set and HGW fabric belts. I used Vallejo paints, dull dark green in the cockpit. Used Vallejo yellow zinc chromate here to bad this all gets closed up so you can't see it. Painted the cylinders dark steel with silver fin edges, center is P&W grey that I custom mixed based off of photos I have. You can see the P&W grey better in this picture also you can see the wiring for the magneto and the two distributors also the plug wires This shows the rear gear case & accessory drives also the intake piping. This shows the gear case and ignition tube for the spark plugs. This are the recognition lights left red, right green I drilled a hole about a 1mm deep and filled it with red and green clear paint. This photo shows the HGW seat belts they look really good but are very tedious to put together. This shows the gun site part photo etch part kit. I have more pics,but didn't want to clutter up this post. Still have to do the checkertail decals and insignias then a coat of flat clear and hopefully it will be finished. Haven't had a chance to work on it, I've been busy messing around with the B-24J and the Lancaster, but I hope to finish it soon. Some how the pictures got jumbled up, sorry about that.

Peterpools Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Ron very nice detail work and super progress. I've always wondered why we spend so much time building and painting details that will never be seen? I use to tell myself: at least I know it's there but over the years, seem to leave out the hidden gems and concentrate on what can be seen Keep 'em comin Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
