P-47 D "no guts, no glory"

Yes, Papa Lima is exactly right !

Colouring cutaway edges red is I think a very old tradition dating back to the time long before plastic modelling, when drawings and sectioned metal equipment used that colour to clearly define edges that were not normally cut.

stick around indeed, its historic aviation in a round about way.

great model, question though, why do all modellers seem to paint the rim of the cutaway, red?

Yep, absolute beautyful plane!

Is this the Hun Hunter you mentioned?
Taken last year at Sevierville, Tennessee

This is seriously good!

You tackle natural metal like — natural.

Please “hang around”.

Best regards

Awesome p-47d i find your work great!
That must be a lot of work building something nice from the revell kit.
Maybe you can build a 1/32 P-38 with some scratchbuilding there are a lot of recearch photo’s for you on the web.
I found another version of p-47d no guts no glory but it’s camouflaged link for the decalset in 1/48 scale: http://m2reviews.cnsi.net/scotts/decals/super/ss48879.htm

Looks very tasty to me.
