RE: TF GS P47 Build - yeah another bloody one!!
Your pretty good, my keeper ratio is a bit higher, but thats to be expected. With more practice you would get more also. Its not as easy as it looks, keeping it steady while panning is hard. When you blow the pics up to 100% youll really see the difference.
But for the web they work great
Thanks for taking them!

Thanks alot. Not quite as scale as G-Pete/Tseres/Oz but for my first ''Scale'' bird it fits just fine.

You inspired me to go back out in the shop and finish sanding the wing and tuch up the primer on the bare spots.
2 mins. after I sprayed the primer it started drizeling so I hurried and pulled the wing back in the shop. Today just wasn't my day. Oh Well.

That happened to me on my wing as well. Had to resand the rings the water left. I was ticked off for lack of a cleaner word.
And I know I look young. I tell the wife its so I can date 20yr olds when I'm 50. That was so she would get mad at me and I could work in the Shop undisturbed!

Great pics everyone.
I still reckon John could get the Mustang and Bearcat a bit lower :P
Got a quick question for you all.
Whats your all time favourite WWII warbird?
Mine is the Corsair.

My favorite is the P-38, a verry close seccond is the FW-190.
I don't know how log this will stay that way cause I'm developing a special foundness for the P-47.
I will probably build one of each before I'm through modeling.

Got a chance to put in a little work on the wing.
Got everything under one coat of primer and Scoth Brited. Have about 60% of the panel liones L/O on the bottom of the wing.
Will take pictures after I put the tape on.

I just ordered the stick and gunsight from Aerotech Models. The cockpit detail was lacking slightly and though no one noticed because they were fixated on the pilot detail with his leather jacket, flight helmet, goggles, life vest, german cross necklace and of course his cigarette I felt these items were needed!
