1/48 Hasegawa P-47C-5

Here are some pics of my 1/48th Hasegawa P-47C-5. Mild conversion by filling in bottom 2 cooling gills on both sides.  Belly bulge retained as most -C birds in ETO were retroactively fitted with this advancement.  In addition, engine is wired, brake lines have been added, seat belts and buckles are scratchbuilt, as are front iron sight and grounding cable, blast tubes are from vinyl covered paper clips, Iron ring sight and wheels are True Details parts.  Paints are my own mix of Model Master Enamels.  Decals are from Super Scale. Model represents "Half Pint" flown by Robert S Johnson in the famous "saluting Focke Wulf" incident.
