Pauls' Tamiya 1/48 Republic P-47 D Thunderbolt "Razorback"

Post by Quax »

Generally this was a great kit to build with few issues other than the quality of the decals, if I was planning on building another I would certainly look aftermarket. I may give the bubbletop some consideration if time allows.

But your's turn out good !

Looks really good Paul.
The matte finish, decals,panel lines and slightly worn look are great.

Wow Paul, I think it turned out great! I really like the details such as the panel variations, line wash, detail painting, etc.

Top notch all the way....
