The latest project is Francis Gabreski's P-47D Thunderbolt from the summer of 1944. I'm going to build straight OOB but with Techmod decals. I have not yet decided on the June or July 1944 version, which differ in the number of victory marks and the invasion stripes. Office is complete.

The main painting is now complete. I chose the July 20 1944 version with the invasion stripes on the underside only. Using AK Real colors paints, the lower color is medium sea gray and the upper colors are RAF dark green and RAF Ocean gray. I painted the camo by freehand. Fortunately the masking worked pretty well with only minor touch ups needed. Gloss coat and decals are next.

Mighty fine sir, mighty fine! I'm sure Mr.Gabreski would be very impressed with your model of his big ole bird. Here's an idea, you could make an entire dio, and surprise his family with it, would make a wonderful tribute to this great American hero.
Anyway, yours skills are very up to snuff, you should be very proud!
Cheers, Willy 🙂

Gabby's jug is now complete. The Tamiya P-47D Bubbletop kit certainly deserves its excellent reputation. I really enjoyed this build and am happy with how the paint scheme turned out. Enjoy the final photos.
