My other two are a Hasegava spitfire and a P47D-1-RE (tamiya 1/48) of Steve Pisanos, a greek american who flew with USAAF dyring WWII. I wil post some pictures of this one on the finished section.
 
Nice work John. I've read about Steve Pisanos in Col. James Goodson's books about the 4th Fighter Group.
 
A little update before i close the cockpit. The instrument panel is from Aires as well as the internal detail of the canopy and windscreen which both of them have been painted inside with the cockpit color.

They're working for me, but take time to load, and need to be scrolled, which is a bit irritating. Better if they can be loaded direct to the forum.
 
Works good for me Guys and some nice work there John be interested in the other builds for sure.Cheers
 
Guys thank you very much for your comments. Crimea, i am using the Aires resign cockpit set and i have added some details from the cockpit eduard set and placards. i am also going to use Aires wheel bay set, ultracast seat, flaps to be molded in up position, blade prop and spiner and wheels.
