Thanks guys, you are too kind, remember this is only my 2nd scale build so im hopeing to improve as i go along. Your comments are really inspiring, thanks. I plan on flying this one and then it goes up for sale. I will need the room for the next project, the 1/4 scale SE5a.

Thanks again

Andy

Now we have the wirewooling effect. This is part of the ageing process on these bigger scales. I have decided to cut this build short. Normally i would paint on all the finishing details like Insignia etc, but as this is an all electric model and i dont have the worry of fuel getting on the plane... i have decided to use the decals provided with the kit, i will dull them a little to get the effect. This should save me a hell of a lot of time and im keen to get this finished and hit the SE5a project.

Cheers

Andy

I think after all this high quality work, I would be very nervous about flying this gal.

 

[Sky Raider]

I know what you mean Ray, i have still never flown the P47 yet or even strted her up. I will get this one airborne and it will go up for sale.
