1/48 Tamiya P-47D-30

--------------------

 

Personal mount of Major Glenn Eagleston, CO of the 353rd FS, 354 FG. Based out of Rosieres-en-Haye, France December 1944. Ironically not a single one of his "kills" was achieved in this plane. They were all made in P-51's. The squadron transitioned to P-47's for a brief time, then back to P-51's I believe.  

Kit was built out of the box with the addition of "True Detail" wheels, the "Cutting Edge" Decal Sheet CED48231 and photoetched seatbelts from "Eduard".

Kit was a pleasure to build with no major hiccups along the way. Plane was painted using mainly aeromaster acrylics and Alclad II lacquers.

Hope you enjoy my first post.
