RE: Top Flite Giant P-47 Build
Some progress update......
Summer time for me usually it is extremely busy since I work in construction and to find time to dedicate to our hobby it is almost impossible at times.
I have been trying however to push the build forward nevertheless.
I have to apologize that I have been sleeping at the wheel with the thread but I hope I can make up with the following series of pictures showing the progress so far.
I could not resist to paint the plane in aluminum as my P-51 is. It is more difficult I think of any other color since it shows every imperfection in your work but at the same time all your hard work detailing the plane it sure comes up front.
I am going after a combination of color scheme with little less invasion stripes and somewhat less nose art as one of the pictures shows.
Bottom wing is complete, top is in the process of receiving the bars and star.
Fuselage needs one more coat of aluminum and then it is ready for invasion stripes and bars and star as well.
Wing control surfaces are ready to be joined, fuse are primed and standing by for paint.
After all paint is complete I will apply the nomenclature sheet as per picture, and then a couple of coats of flat fuel proof clear.
The product in the picture works wonder for me in the past. Bit pricey but worth the money in my opinion.
Hopefully I will be able to show her off at the war bird event here in NEO toward the end of August.....
Anyway here some pictures....enjoy:
