P-47 for Flames of War


 My chum Dennis got frustrated hand-painting a P-47 model so asked me to bail him out

P-47 Thunderbolt Flight (UBX85)

 Steps involved were:

Cover old paint job with black primer:

Black bars on top of fuselage:

 

Mask the black

 

overspray white

 

Yellow tail and red nose

 

Mask the yellow and red flare

 

Spray chrome all over

 

remove masking

 

pick out details and touch up

gentle black wash to bring out panel lines

Decals - these were a total nightmare - very fragile and very stubborn to get off the paper


Finis!
