    This model is my another cardboard model.  After I decided to make a P-47D model, I searched for a good marking P-47D.  I found  3 view drawings of P-47D in World War II aircraft book.  After that I drew all parts of P-47D to cardboards.  Then I cut all parts of P-47D.  First, I built the fuselage of the P-47D.  Secondly, I built the wings for the P-47D (also I attached wings to fuselage with dihedral).  Thirdly, I built the tail assembly and I attached it to fuselage.  So I built undercarriage, weapons, propeller and some details.  Finally I painted my model with enamel model paint.
