One
of my favourite WWII models is this 1/32 P-47 by Revell, because of its
extraordinary paint scheme. The overall detail is satisfactory enough,
especially in the cockpit (marvellous) and the engine compartment. The
only complaint should be about the raised panel lines, but all those
raised rivets just make you love it! Since I'm not a fan of
aftermaket products of any kind (save photo-etched rails and rigging on my
ships!) I - once again - improved the model myself!

of the improved cockpit.
That
is I used scrap and other parts from my spares box, copper and solder wire
and plasticard in the cockpit, the engine compartment and the u/c wells.
The star decals are straight from the box but all the black'n'white
stripes are hand painted. The model was spayed exclusively with Tamiya and
Gunze acrylic colours over an aluminium undercoat (always helps with the
chipping and wearthering), except from the cockpit and engine areas which
were painted with Humbrol enamels with a brush.

wells. Take a close look at the weathering of the model!
Enjoy
your next build!!!
