Hi folks finished this a few days ago my 1/72 hasagawa P-47D Thunderbolt. Great little £5 find from The Cosford Show that went together with ease. Sadly though some of the decals didn't make it and I've had to improvise. But I'm quite happy the way it turned out. I'd have no hesitation in buying another. Thanks for looking in and any comments that you leave.
Cheers John IMG_8648.JPG IMG_8645.JPG IMG_8647.JPG IMG_8646.JPG

That's really good John, such a lovely finish to the paintwork.

I admire your attention to detail, such as the rings around the bomb noses - impressive in 1/72!

Panel lines already present Tony. If I ever did another I'd rescribe them at least once as they are very slight. Thanks for the nice comments guys. I'll definitely have my head in those boxes again at Telford as you can't go wrong for a fiver.

That's brilliant. It's really hard to remember this was a £5.00 kit.
