I appreciate your compliments and visit my friends Brian, Javlin Jan. :thumbleft::thumbleft::thumbleft:

Today I hope to get to work on my bird, and even able to follow my Nakajima :shock: .
Yet I do not carry my cell to service (because I have relied heavily on him in matters of street work).
And to top #-o; ... accidentally hit without breaking the screen but I can not see anything !!, and the touchscreen works without problem !!
So now I do give me time to take it to service Samsung. :cry:

A little inconvenience :oops: ... I personally do not believe in bad luck.

Finally, keep in touch and enjoying the modeling !! :D

Saludos a todos!!

Hola hermano...

Being originally from the Philippines myself, I've always wanted to do this build of the 201st P-47s who were stationed there during the liberation of the islands. Maybe I could do a mirror build, but only in 1/72 scale.

Viva Mexico and muchas gracias to the Mexican heroes who flew, fought and gave their lives to free my country back then.

I thank those words a lot. Never happened to me receive a thank you for Squadron 201 pilots. I was touched by your message; I would love to see the process of your "Aztec Eagle" (Aguila Azteca). :salute:
Now that my turn to do mine, I will remember you and then we can comment.

A hug and best regards. :thumbup:

Hello friends, I could get my phone and everything returns to normal. :arrow::lol:

In the inter I could make some headway on my P-47, but this time to upload the photos to the forum (after a while "trial and error"), the tip of Hugh "Image Sizing Guidelines" and the necessary clarifications T Bold, I have been able to significantly decrease the time to post my photos THROUGH Irfanview

I held up the recommendation of groups of 5 pictures, so in this first test and I share the comment ...

:idea: With pieces included in disposable lighters I found a very similarity to landing gear dampers (in the first picture I have several pieces of different lighters, the 2 on the right were the most suitable), only had to cut a part and modify their place in the corresponding place. :idea:

... speaking the photos !! :rolleyes:

That hole in the piece is perfect, I will put there a hydraulic cable I can see from the photos reference (thanks Terry, Andy and Wojtek) :thumbleft::thumbright:

Finally I will go in painting !! :p

On this occasion I put the closed and tightly sealed with tape and white glue cockpit. I've had the bad experience that I snuck painting on the inside.

2015-03-24 16.04.18 A8.jpg


My intention is to exhibit it with an open cockpit.
I hope it turns out as I hope. :oops:

Liquid mask covered the indicator lights ...

My dear friends !!, I appreciate their batons. :oops:

I am immersed in the stage of chipping with hairspray :shock:. It is something totally new for me, but I am documenting with photos that soon I hope to share with you. :happy3:

I think I'm far from a masterpiece, but with mentors like you, I know I am well supported and learning on track. :arrow: :idea: :lol:
I appreciate your motivating words my dear at6, and share with you that with imagination, patience and refined techniques can capitalize on an old or simple model. :mrgreen:
(There is enough evidence of it in this forum) :thegraduate:=D>:notworthy:

Goodnight from here in Mexico and always thank you for your visits and comments.

Hasta pronto!! :thumbup:

Hola de nuevo... :lol:


For the lids in landing gear I will test with white glue to mask the back of them. (One with white tak - as I always -)

The inner layer of the cockpit, ... painted!

2015-03-25 14.14.29 A14.jpg


2015-03-25 14.14.50 A15.jpg


After applying PRIMER, according to a new suggestion of a colleague in the forum :idea:, 50% Mr.Surfacer 1200 and 50% isopropyl alcohol, a couple of very thin layers.
I must say that is very easily applied and I liked the result.
Was minimal so I had to sand to make the polished surface to apply the glossy black background ...

Let it dry and then I applied Duraluminium of Alclad II
It will be the approximate area where chipped will apply ...:rolleyes::oops:

This last photo in landing gear, I did not know how to remove it and an error was within Manage Attachments without first reducing the pixels ... but taking advantage shows the hole I made for wiring hydraulic dampers ... !!

... and I could not write after her .... :crazy: :-k

So I continue in a moment .... :oops:

You are very kind to your comment CommanderBounds, "hit the wine glasses"

I continue with my new technique into practice !! ... well I'm excited because no proof or circulation on !! :crazyeyes:

I follow "literally" the presentation of JKim (John) where also started in this technique. (1/48 Republic P-47D - Mediterranean Theater of Operations ... worth the recognition wonderful job)

Apply 2 or 3 light coats of hairspray, previously decanted into a small bowl and then to airbrush. I let it dry long it took me to clean the airbrush to apply the chrome yellow

I let the paint dry about 30 minutes and then came the interesting :shock: ... in a bowl of water I put a flat brush and moistened the surface a bit to get started.

With gentle movements in the same direction and I spent the wet brush and slowly began to lift the paint ... I started from the bottom of the fuselage ...

... After I show you how was the upper part !! :lol:

Es todo por ahora, ...hasta pronto amigos :thumbup:
