I'm a slow builder, but here we go. 1/32 Trumpeter P-47 Razorback kit. Keeping this one pretty basic with limited aftermarket. Using Montex masks/decals. i'll be using the kit cockpit. It has enough detail for myself. Decals used for the instruments, then I filled the round areas with future floor wax to recreate a "glass" look. I also applieda dark brown wash and dry brushed aluminum to add some wear to the floor and seat. Next up is the engine. Not looking forward to it. Working on radials is not my specialty.

Gareth UNDERSTEER - is when you hit the wall with the front wing. OVERSTEER - is when you hit the wall with the back wing. HORSEPOWER - is how fast you hit the wall. TORQUE - is how far you can take the wall with you. Read my scale modelling blog at www.latibuliser.com or mfhmazda787.com

Very nice. I got to sit in the cockpit of a P-47 recently at The New England Air Museum. It was easier getting in then it was getting out of it.

Here is my work so for on the radial. I don't really enjoy building radials, so I'm trying to keep the mojo flowing. You'll notice some more wiring is needed. I'm not done with it quite yet. It also needs to be weathered.

Still here and still trucking along with the kit. I'll try and get a photo or two on here soon! Thanks for the kind comments, everyone.
