Then the Nose art came from the excellent Zotz decal sheet for this P47N. The Main decals for insignias came from an Aeromaster P47N sheet. The stencils came from the kit, and a zotz P47N sheet. The fuselage side panels and cowl flaps were also painted the darker stainless silver.ĭecals were a huge issue. I really liked the finish and it looks more interesting having different sections of fuselage and wings in different silver colors. Then the Gun doors I painted in SM203 Super Iron to get them darker like in photos. Then I did the flaps and ailerons in a SM204 stainless and the section of wing over the MLG also in the stainless which is a little more flat and darker as this was in photos. Color super metallic paints and love them! The Main areas are painted in SM201 super fine silver, and as you can see is like a mirror. The original plane photos don't show much weathering, no gun soot, only some exhaust stain, so that's what I did. This bird was repainted with the tail stripes originally, so I pictured it just after that and is really clean. NMF really scares me and I don't yet know how to weather it well, so leave it in nice shape. This one had a resin cockpit which was a bit of a challenge to get to fit in the fuselage! I also added the resin propeller so it would be the right type. Greetings Model Friends- Well I am still keeping up the progress and finished my 3rd Model in last Month! This one is a 1/48 Academy P-47N with some nice Nose Art! '2 Big and Too Heavy!' This flew out of Iwo Jima and is the 'Big' version of P47 with the larger wing and looks really 'different' compared to a standard wing P47.
