GB-56 1/48 P-47D-25 - Thunderbolts and Lightnings

[fubar57]

Thanks guys. Engine semi complete. I used Tamiya Yellow Green, Titanium Silver, Gloss Black and Semi-gloss Black. The rear bank has been washed with Citadel Black Ink and the front one is next after I paint some Neutral Grey on the housing. The black at the base of the firewall doesn't have a colour call-out in the instructions but I think its an intake. Some touch ups will be needed as seen but the paint that got removed was during a test fit of the cowling to see what could and couldn't be seen after installation. Not much of the back bank or firewall will be seen

Looking very smart Geo.

Thanks guys. Togetherness beginning. Crankcase just posed. There is a wee bit of Neutral Grey to be sprayed on both kits so I'll pause this one and get the other GB up to this point

Thanks all. Wings is on, a very nice fit

​

Done for the week, heading in for night shifts in five hours. Not going to be a fun tour as temps are hovering around 0°C and the roads are going to go for a crap until at least Saturday when it starts to drop below -11°C. Have a good week gents
