Academy 1/72 P-47D Thunderbolt, Aztec Eagles, 201st Squadron

[wingnutz]

Finally got the 1/72 Aztec Eagles, 201st Squadron decals from Aztec Models, which were based in the Philippines, circa 1945. Included in this build are both the Razorback and Bubble Top versions flown by the 201st.

Test-fitting started on both kits, which basically are identical, with the difference only with the fuselage and wheel details. Included armaments are also the same with Details in the kits are quite good with recessed panel lines. The main landing gear covers are molded together, which makes for and easier build and alignment. There are minor sink marks which are evident in the underwing flaps. The cockpit does have adequate details, but can do better with some additional attention.

Hoping to do justice to these PTO builds...

Saludos señores!

Managed to finish the cockpit and added some reflector gun sight details. Clear canopy parts are soaked and being dried to cure properly. Used Mr Hobby Interior Green with Tamiya Panel Line Accent color. Wings and fuselage fitted and fused together.
