i have finished this carf P-47 for a friend here in Denmark.

The P-47 in covered with Mick reeves aluminium foil "metal coat"

i have made everything on the model regarding finish, except the rub on decals, they are from tailormade.

firstly, the pictures of the start of the project, the first covered item, and the detailing of the alu foil...

Carbon-Customs

now we are going to add some details, the insignias and invasion stripes, and some weathering.

yeehaaw, a completed P-47, except for the cockpit, this is the owners task

please leave a comment, it would make me so happy

WOW... All I can say is WOW. Very well done. The detail is amazing. Even the gunpowder flash stains are accurate.
Any cockpit pictures?

Carbon-Customs

right now there is not any cockpit at all, you can see theres no canopy glass either, we have discussed this, because the cockpit panel and accessories from carf is a very poor standard. So to get the best result must be dooing something by yourself.

Do you have pictures showing the application of the flite metal and how you added all the rivets?

Beautiful covering job! Mick Reeve's metal covering, how does it affect 2.4 GHz reception/transmission? His website doesn't say much, except it weighs almost identical to flitemetal.

Carbon-Customs

hmm it must be about 100hours for this finish...

regarding 2,4ghz i had some trouble with my T33, but it also had alot of carbonfiber, and a long stainless steel duct for the turbine. So i had to move the antennas on the outside of the fuse.
