P-47

Started out by attacking the hardest first, masking the canopy. In this photo it is partially complete. Some fine work done with Tamiya vinyl tape has given impressive results so far. 

Here the vertical bars are set, all that remains is the top colour needs applying the the process is repeated for horizontal bars. 

A few months since I got back to this project here you can see that the parts are all painted, well mostly painted at this stage 

Pick the piece that will be missed from the model 

Final masking and paint job on the canopy. Using lines of tape to mask off the panels in the window might be tedious but it's better, I find, than carving into the canopy 

Dry brushed engine. This I'm really happy with shame it will be hidden 

End of the the weekend, good look at a properly painted 1/72 glass 

and with an engine attached. I need to fill the wing roots a bit as I'm not happy with them
